“Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.”

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”
10. Robin L.
“Robin is the best! She’s watched our pups several times, but this last time was a long 2 week stay & she went above and beyond! In addition to taking wonderful care of our needy dogs, she also made sure they were bathed before we got home, washed all their bedding and her own, got the mail, took care of the garbage, brought in our packages, watered plants, and picked up all of their poop outside. While we were away the upstairs AC stopped working & she was so gracious and flexible. She handled the situation perfectly and we are so grateful for her understanding. Robin is the real deal- she is so kind and has a great work ethic. We are so thankful for her & anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets! Thanks again Robin :)”

14. Amber C.
“What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!”

19. Jess M.
“There are not enough stars to review for Jessica, she gets them ALL!! She was truly an absolute blessing. We felt included in all the fun they had during her stay. We received photos and videos, and just knew our pup was having the best time. Jessica was so kind & comfortable. She made sure to let us know each time she fed our babe & took her on walks & other fun adventures. We honestly couldn’t be any happier with our experience.”

“Rita a such a sweet and responsible dog sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and sent me cute pics of my dog to reassure me everything was great. Communication was spot on and our pup seemed very happy!”
