15. Stacy A.


“She was great with everything and had such good communication with me, sent pictures and updates all day”


16. Beth L.

“Beth is an amazing dog sitter and wonderful person. She has house sat with my nearly 15-year-old American Staffordshire many times over the past 2 years. I have never left a review for anyone or anything before - but after Beth helped me out on 3 separate sitting details over the past 4 weeks, I just had to take the time to recognize how great she is. She is reliable, kind and really patient. I trust her implicitly. My dog Sydney is a rescue with a lot of anxiety. Lately she is becoming increasingly incontinent and now shreds the pee pads (always fun to come home to). Sometimes my patience is tried by Sydney, but Beth is always even keeled and incredibly good to Syd. I can tell because Sydney is always calm and happy when I get home. Thanks much Beth!”


17. Laura D.

“Can’t say enough about Laura! She was able to provide last minute sitting when I had a sitter that no-showed. Our dog loved her. Great communication and sends lots of photos!”


18. Domenica F.
“Domenica has been caring for animals her whole life. She has always had a special connection with them. She has extensive knowledge about animal care and behavior. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needed services for their pet.”


19. Andrew Q.
“Andrew is great with all kinds of dogs. I’ve witnessed Andrew first hand with his two lovely dogs Teddy and Koko and they are very obedient with him. Andrew knows how to properly command a dog and he’s completed phase one of dog training. Andre would be great for Rover. He’s friendly with all kinds of dogs and is a wonderful animal person to have. I highly recommend Andrew for dog walking and for dog sitting.”


20. Florina D.
“Florina is beyond amazing with all pets, especially dogs. She basically speaks their language. She would be surrounded and have in the house all dogs in the world if possible and she has so so much love for all of them.”
