1. Taryn T.

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


2. Erin S.

“Erin is wonderful! She house and dog sat for two weeks. Trustworthy and loving to our two dogs and send photos of them every day. Outstanding communicator. Will use again and again!”


3. Colleen J.

“Colleen was fantastic! I came home after a week long trip to a clean house and two very happy dogs. We will be booking her again in the future.”


4. Linda K.

“Linda was our petsitter while our family went on a day trip. One of our dogs is epileptic, and it makes me very anxious to leave her. Linda was great with our dogs and about communicating with us. I look forward to asking her to petsit again as soon as she’s available when we leave town! Thank you, Linda!”


5. Rachel K.

“Provided excellent service to our 2 dogs. Great communication throughout the entire weekend. Would highly recommend Rachel to work for anyone.”


6. Ruslan A.


“Russ exceeded every expectation. Constant communication, pictures, and play with our three animals. I would trust and hire him any time to watch our animals, stay at our house, and help out with anything we needed. 15/10, if that were possible. He stayed at our house and cared for our 4 month old puppy, our 5 year old terrier, and our 3 year old cat.”


7. Rachel A.
“Rachel has lots of experience with high maintenance and difficult animals including giving meds. She is over the top patient, calm, and loving, and firm when she needs to be to keep pets safe. Rachel is dependable and resourceful. She has taken great care of our dog, always watchful to maintain her very strict diet. I highly recommend Rachel as a caregiver for your pet!”


8. Nathan G.

“Nathan has taken care of my dog over a weekend on multiple occasions. My house is always as I left it and my dog is very happy. He was also able to help accommodate some last minute directions for taking care of my dog. I was able to enjoy my travels without worrying. I highly recommend Nathan, he is very professional.”


9. Rachel G.

“We really appreciated that Rachel gave us updates while we were away and included photos of our two dogs. She was responsible and respectful of our home.”


10. Jody L.

“Jody was amazing! She stayed at our house with our 2-year-old lab for a long weekend, and she treated him as if he were her own. She sent us pictures and updates constantly to let us know how he was doing. We came home to a very happy puppy. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Jody for letting us have a fun vacation knowing our 4-legged member of our family was taken care of.”


11. Emma K.

“Emma dropped by a week before watching Spotz to meet him. She was responsive to our messages before we left town and provided regular updates (with pictures)! Spotz is anxious and we just moved to town a couple weeks ago, so I was nervous to leave town, but Emma made it easier. I appreciated the daily updates she provided and quality time she spent with Spotz while we were away!”


12. Jonathan C.

“Jonathan was phenomenal! I use sitters a lot for work and don’t say that lightly. Ellie was nervous upon meeting since I didn’t introduce her (another sitter cancelled last minute). He waited patiently for her to adjust and she loved him! He also stayed later with her when my flight was delayed. I’m so grateful he was available. He sent videos and photos so I knew she was well cared for. I’d recommend him for your next stay and would use him again!”


13. Deidre C.

“Diedre was an excellent choice! Communication was great, she sent me daily photos and videos of my dogs, and made sure they got their walks and meals on time. She was very loving and caring with them. I would definitely book with her again for future vacations!”


14. Randall B.


“Randall took amazing care of our pets, and sent so many pictures. We felt our pets were well cared for and loved while we were away, and he left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely want to use him in the future!”


15. Amber D.
“Excellent care of our 3 dogs during our time on vacation. Communicative and attentive.”


16. Kate S.



“Kate is wonderful. She really puts in the extra time to listen to what the owner is working on with their pup! I am impressed by how wonderful she is with dogs and she has a natural ability to make them feel so loved and nurtured.”


17. Casey C.
“Casey Cook is an amazing pet caretaker! He’s super caring and always makes sure my pet feels safe and happy. He met my dog 2 years ago, and I can always trust him to care for and love him in my absence. I trust him completely, and he’s great at keeping his routine and giving him the attention he needs. Highly recommend!”


18. Wendy S.

“Stoney loved having Wendy play with him all evening when I couldn’t be there. As a puppy, he needs a lot of attention and Wendy took him on a walk, made sure he went out multiple times and was really intentional in caring for him and just being there with him. She was very flexible with me in my custom booking and made me feel at ease while I was gone for an event. Will definitely be booking with Wendy again!”


19. Kylie N.


“We could rest easily knowing our doggie was in Kylie’s tender loving care. She walked her and sent pictures everyday, along with an update on how she was doing. Plus, she left our house in wonderful shape. You would never know anyone had stayed in our house for a week! Will definitely be calling her again!”


20. Reuben R.

“Just had Reuben look after my two senior dogs, good meet and just returned home from my four day trip. Received photographs of dogs throughout trip with updates. Reuben did a great job looking after my two dogs, would not hesitate in using him again. Looked after my place as well as looking after the dogs. Highly recommend Reuben to anyone looking for walking or sitting!!!”
