9. Emma V.
“The world needs more Emmas! Emma is simply the best. From the moment we connected with her, she was incredibly responsive and consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to what she does. Our dogs absolutely loved her! She kept us regularly updated, which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing that someone so dedicated was caring for our furry family members made all the difference. What truly stood out was Emma’s proactive nature—she offered to help us with a situation we hadn’t even anticipated. That level of care goes far beyond what you typically expect when trusting someone with your pets. Emma went above and beyond in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend her. The world would truly be a better place with more people like Emma.”

“Peyton was so kind when she took care of my dog. Duke, my dog, absolutely adores her and looks forward when she comes and watches him. She follows our routine and makes sure Duke get outside for plenty of exercise on his walks. I believe that she truly loves my dog and wants him to be as happy as he can be. We can always trust that she will be responsible in our home & with our fluffy family member.”

“Lily took good care of our pooches. When we returned, they were calmer than usual. We also appreciated the fact that the dogs were able to spend quite a bit of time in their backyard! That always makes them happy! Thanks, Lily!”
13. Kathryn R.
“I cannot recommend Kat enough; my family is forever grateful to her. Prior to the week of Thanksgiving, we hadn't left our pets in the care of a pet sitter for more than a night since my mother moved away and couldn't watch them for us anymore. Every pet parent's worst nightmare happened while we were out of town - our dog, Barkley, had a very serious medical emergency that required multiple emergency vet appointments, one of which was more than an hour and a half drive away and took the entire day. Kat went so far above and beyond to take care of Barkley and keep us informed about what was happening. I am positive that if it wasn't for Kat being so observant, attentive, and generally amazing, Barkley wouldn't have lived long enough for us to get home and say goodbye.”
14. Sulan A.
“Sulan was an incredible dog sitter for me. I booked her for a week. She sent photos of my dog everyday and told me how they were doing. I highly recommend Sulan for your pet needs! My dog didn’t even miss me when I was gone because Sulan took care of my dog like her own.”
15. Delaney J.
“Delaney was very professional and sweet. She took very good care our our 2 small dogs and 1 cat. She arrived on time and even sent us a picture with our dogs on her lap! We love our pets and she did a great job. I would hire her again!! Thank you SO much!!”
16. Anissa R.
“Anissa is amazing! Very reliable and made things so easy for us. It had been years since someone other than family watched our dogs, but Anissa quickly put all anxiety at ease. Our fur babies and home were very well cared for while we were away.”
17. Amie F.
“Amie is phenomenal!! She really stepped up for us this past week when we were on vacation, she went above and beyond. Our house was badly hit with storms and she kept the pets and home safe. She’s not just your standard sitter, she’s so much more than that. We’re beyond blessed that she came into our lives and was able to take care of our fur babies for us. Took great care of our home, even cleaned out the fridge from losing power, ended up injuring her own knee on Mudd but didn’t skip a beat. Our puppy hadn’t been through storms yet and come to find out he absolutely hates them, she made him feel so comfortable. The communication was outstanding!! We will be using her without a doubt for all future trips. Thank you Amie from the bottom of our hearts!”
18. Arianna B.
“She did an excellent job taking care of my doggo as well as looking after my place while i was away. Great communication and i appreciated the update pictures of their walks. thank you very much!”
19. Gracyn M.
“Gracyn was great! Punctual, communicative and polite. She took care of our dog and two cats on a short notice and did a great job. We will using her again!”
20. Claudia G.
“I was very nervous to leave my 12 year old dog any where but my own house and have never had anyone house/dog sit overnight except for family, but after meeting and talking with Claudia I felt more at ease. She sent me messages with videos of my dog being walked, played with, given treats, getting loved up and my dog always looked super happy! Claudia took care of my dog, my garbage, my mail, and my house while I was away on vacation for a week. I would definitely hire her again! Thanks Claudia for allowing me to enjoy my vacation and giving my dog his own little vacation while still being comfortable in his own home!”
