1. Deja S.

“Deja is the best!! She watched our two crazy pups and was so positive and kind. She was responsive and helpful. We loved working with her and hope she’ll come back many more times. Thanks Deja!”




2. Linden O.

“We were very pleased with Linden. He sent us a lot of pictures of the dogs that showed us how relaxed and comfortable they were with him. We would have him again and have already referred him to a friend who may need his services.”


3. Carla H.

“Carla was really great with our pets. She took care of our high energy dog, a cat and 3 kittens. I would highly recommend her as she is super friendly and a great caretaker for pets.”


4. Ray S.

“Ray stayed with our dog overnight and I could not be more happier with his service. It was very telling my the photos we received and how happy & at ease Chip was around him. Also, Ray left a very sweet & informed note, which I found very thoughtful. Highly recommend & we would be using his services again.”


5. Saoirse M.

“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”


6. Daniel H.

“Daniel was a fabulous dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in taking great care of my 16 year old spaniel and kept me up to date with reports amd pictures. I’ll be sure to contact him the next time I need help.”


7. Sophia N.

“Sophia was great with our boxer Vito . He was very well taken care of even administering his daily pills.Sophia even excepted that he thinks he’s a lapdog. We appreciated the daily pictures too.”


8. Ricky P.

“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”


9. Ryan S.

“Ryan a perfect animal lover dog/ cat sitter!!! He always kept me up to date and sent pics often;). Bruno got plenty of exercise and my home was left in perfect condition!!! I could not be happier to know my pets were well cared for and to come home to my place in order!”


10. Jacquelin W.
“I have seen Jackie's interaction with our fur babies, she really has a passion for caring for animals. She has such patience and has a wonderful understanding of their needs. She really cares about the animals and their well-being. I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie.”


11. Alexis p.

“Alexis was fantastic!! Highly recommend!!”


12. Gianna M.

“Gianna was amazing. We were visiting from out of town and booked her pretty last minute. She came to meet our pup a few hours before sitting for her. She asked such good questions about how to best care for her. She was flexible about start and end times. We highly recommend her.”




13. Natalie A.

“First of all, I think it’s so sweet that Natalie’s dad wrote her a review, it definitely made me want to hire her initially. Second of all, Natalie was absolutely AMAZING. We hired her to stay at our house for nine days to take care of our dog and our cat, and she was positively wonderful. We met beforehand I knew upon meeting her that my animals would be in great hands with her. She sent daily updates and frequent pictures. I had never left my animals for that length of time and it was such a relief knowing she was taking such great care of them. I would absolutely hire Natalie again, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I could not recommend her more highly. I know Obi and Doctor Jones miss her already!”


14. Marlena R.


“Marlena stayed at our house with our pets for what was supposed to be a 4-day trip and ended up being 5 days due to travel complications. She was such a lifesaver staying the extra day with no notice at all. Her communication is great and she sends multiple pics of the pets a day. She left the house clean and I could tell our pup was very happy throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”


15. Elisha T.

“Elisha was a great sitter for our dog, on short notice and all. Our dog, who doesn’t even like to go upstairs typically, even slept by Elisha during the night! That means Elisha was good!”


16. Portia F.

“Portia was amazing with my puppy, Osiris. She sent me pics and videos throughout thier time together. She was very professional and demonstrated a lot of patience with my high energy puppy. I plan to be a repeat customer 🩷.”


17. Melissa C.

“Melissa was fantastic with our shy and anxious shepherd mix! Our dog takes a very long time to warm up to new people, but it was clear she was comfortable with Melissa in record time. She was super easy to communicate with, flexible, and reliable. Can't recommend her more!”


18. James F.

“If I could give Jim 10 stars, I would. We were in a pinch and our normal house sitter was unable to watch our dogs. We took our little one with us but our 2 yr old GSD needed a friend. He stepped right up and offered his weekend. Not only did he spend most of the day with her but he gave her lots of walks, playtime in the yard and love. She is a nervous dog and requires alot of patience and stimulation. She has never been without her little buddy either. Jim truly cares about the animals he signs up for. He gave me lots of updates, took pics/videos and asked questions. We would recommend him to anyone! Worth every penny.”


19. Aracely P.

“Aracely was great! Her and Trooper got along very well, she stayed the whole day with him, sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and he was taken on several walks. I will definitely use her again in the future. Anyone would be lucky to get her to watch their pup! Thank you Aracely!”


20. Kristen B.

“Kristen was very attentive and caring toward my puppy. She asked questions when needed and kept me informed of everything while she was pet sitting overnight. Definitely recommend and will be having Kristen watch my puppy again soon!”
