“Emma was a great cat-sitter! She was very attentive, gentle with Luba and very communicative. She provided regular updates and put me at ease while I was away at work. Very glad to have had her cat-sit!”
“My dogs take awhile to warm up to new people and Bevin did a wonderful job of letting them get to know her. She updated daily with pictures and regular walks. My dogs were with her for 5 days and at the end of their time together they had developed a lovely companionship, would def book again with her.”
“Chantal was amazing with my dog. She had a hard time with new people but Chantal was calm and great and my dog warmed up very nicely. The house was left clean which was a huge relief 😅”
“Cassidy provided wonderful care for my girl, pepper. Pepper has a lot of energy and some separation anxiety and Cassidy did a great job meeting those needs and always kept me updated with photos and detailed messages. 🙏🏼”
“Joy was a great sitter for our energetic pup and a good steward with our 121 yr old home!! It was fun seeing pics of her interacting with our WitchHazel, and the the house was just as clean as when we’d left it! Looking forward to calling upon her in the future! Highly recommend her”
“Kelsey took such great care with our two cats, Julian and Greta. She provided us with regular updates, made sure they were good on water, food, and litter, and went above and beyond to be affectionate and amazing company for them while we were gone over the holidays. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Crystal was our first ever pet sitter, and she made it a great experience! She listened to our instructions thoroughly and sent us lots of updates with pictures, which we loved. She helped ease both our and our pup’s anxiety about being apart! She took great care of our home, leaving it even cleaner than we left it. We will without a doubt hiring Crystal again the next time we need a sitter.”
“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”
“Alexander arrived on time and communicated throughout the stay. The house was tidy upon our return. Alexander put in additional effort by watering our plants when he noticed they were drooping and refilled my hummingbird feeders. Our two dogs were well cared for and we are sure they barely noticed we weren’t around!”
“My Arthur is very shy but within minutes of meeting Stacy he had cuddled up behind her on the couch. She sent just the right amount of communication from me and made it easy since this was my first time working with a house-sitter. I hope to work with Stacy again and highly recommend her.”

“No words can express the gratitude I feel for the special care that Tobi gave my two small dogs while we were away for a few days. Tobi has to be one of the sweetest, most caring, intuitive and professional dog lovers I’ve ever met. My boys were happy and relaxed when we returned and we will most definitely be calling Auntie Tobi every time we travel to take care of Simon and Webster. Nine million thumbs up!”
