“Brianna was great. She gave me updates and communication was quick and easy. My cats and dog loved her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without a worry!”
“Michaela stayed with our Lab for three days, and she was wonderful all around. She was prompt and extremely communicative (and shared lots of pics). She walked our dog frequently, and when he created a couple of issues (ha), she handled it great, kept us in the loop, and went above and beyond with cleaning up (laundry, dishes, etc) and generally left the place looking nicer than before she arrived : ). I would absolutely recommend Michaela!”
“Wonderful sitter for our two dogs! Great communication, dependable, and clearly cares about them. We came home to happy pups and couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.”
“Zhanna was wonderful—communicative, thoughtful, and patient. Even dealt with my alarm going off during her visit with grace. My dog loved her and had a fantastic time—will definitely be rebooking for the future!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Megan was fantastic with our cats. She sent great updates and photos and we were confident that they were being well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“Jessica watched my dog Olive for just under a week and was a great sitter. She was really easy to coordinate with and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Her dog Ernie and Olive looked like they had a blast playing together too!”
“Jasmin was amazing house sitting for my four little crazies! Sent regular photos, was great with communication and went above and beyond making sure she could do everything she could to care for and keep them happy! Was very respectful of home and property!”
“Kathryn is a gem! What I loved the most is that she thought about everything that an owner may want to have peace of mind while away, asked the questions to validate and understand in our meet and greet and then delivered on it. Kathryn was detailed and communicative when it came to her approach with the dogs, and how she managed her time with them. She took them on a field trip! She was conscientious in how she left the house and stayed with the dogs until I returned. I know the dogs were well taken care of and I didn't worry or ever have to initiate contact because Kathryn was so on top of it. Five stars!”
“Clair was a great dogsitter! She kept us posted on how Teddy was doing and took great care of him. We got daily updates and lots of pictures while we were away. I knew that Teddy would be safe and happy with her, and will definitely use Clair again.”
“Daniel was a lifesaver. We had our puppy Chaos get Kennel Cough and was not allowed to go to our usual boarding facility. I found Daniel the day before we were scheduled to fly out for a long weekend. He stopped over and met our pup and showed up the next day and stayed at the house with the Chaos for three nights. Chais seemed to really like Daniel. We would definitely use Daniel again (hopefully not as last minute next time)”
“Cindy was wonderful!! She took great care of my dogs and was very communicative- she asked questions when needed, sent photos of the pups, and left the house extremely clean! I would highly recommend Cindy!!”
“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”
“Anna is incredible! Extremely trustworthy, kind, attentive, and always on time. Another thing that sets Anna apart is that the quality of her care (number of updates, photos, attentiveness, etc.) hasn’t decreased over time. It’s clear Anna takes her work seriously and is very dedicated. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for great care for their pups!”
“Serine was absolutely the best! She took amazing care of Max and kept us updated frequently throughout the stay. Her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. Max was well looked after and clearly felt comfortable with her. We will definitely book with Serine again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“This is the third time Katie has stayed with my dog Luna. This time was an extended stay and Katie was great about sending photos and updates! Luna was happy and healthy when we got home!”

Carina deserves 12/10 stars just for managing to get the pets outside during a 2:30am fire alarm! Beyond that she did an excellent job with my crew (7-month-old kitten, 5 y/o cat, 12 y/o dog) and was communicative with great updates. She went above and beyond and I appreciate it immensely.
Brianna was amazing. She house sat our two dogs while we were gone on an extended trip and made sure to check in with us and let us know how our dogs were doing. She was very accommodating with our schedule and left the house in tidy condition, not to mention—the dogs adore her. We will definitely be using her again!
Anna is incredible! Extremely trustworthy, kind, attentive, and always on time. Another thing that sets Anna apart is that the quality of her care (number of updates, photos, attentiveness, etc.) hasn’t decreased over time. It’s clear Anna takes her work seriously and is very dedicated. We highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for great care for their pups!
Dena was a fantastic sitter for my two senior kitties. She was very professional and courteous from the start, and gave my deaf kitty and my skittish kitty all the patience and love I could have hoped for while we are away. My cat needs daily meds, and she took on that responsibility with ease. I got daily updates/ videos too ❤️ highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience with Erica! She had excellent communication from start to finish and kept me updated the entire time. She took such great care of both my dog and my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her reliability and attentiveness, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Ellen was great! … she stayed with Jackson at my house for a long weekend - he’s just a puppy and she took amazing care of him, understanding he was still a puppy and needed some extra time and attention ! and she was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire time, she sent regular engaging updates with pictures and took such good care of my pup … 5 star service- an amazing experience …
Serine was able to stay longer at our house than planned because we couldn't get home due to the snow and ice storm on Jan 25th. Her boyfriend even shoveled our rather long driveway--our taxi from the airport didn't want to go down our snowy one-lane street. We were so grateful that we could reassure him that our driveway was cleared. The storm was quite the disaster accompanied by extremely low temperatures. Serine kept our house and cats safe and warm. She was flexible and helpful in times of trouble. We will definitely use her again! Thank you!
Stephen was an absolute blessing for our sweet Bella Pauline! She’s an older girl who needs her medicine exactly on schedule, can be a bit particular about her food, and has some hearing loss — but none of that fazed Stephen one bit. He cared for her like she was his very own, showing her such patience, kindness, and attention that we knew she was in the best hands. Every detail was perfect — her medications were given right on time, her meals were prepared with care, and when we returned home, the house was spotless. Stephen even had calming “doggy anxiety” music playing for Bella Pauline to help her stay relaxed while we were away. That thoughtful touch just about melted our hearts. I truly can’t recommend Stephen highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who treats your home and your pup with genuine care and respect, Stephen is the one. Bella Pauline sure misses him already, and we’ll be booking with him again without hesitation!
