Top rated Onward pet sitters
“I was very happy with Hope. She communicated and took photos on every visit. My buddy was very relaxed and happy around Hope. I will use Hope again in the future and would fully recommend her.”
“Great experience working with Sydnee and Abby! They. And to meet my dog before the visits and always stayed the full 30 minutes to spend time with her during the drop in. She sent me pictures during the drop in as well. I would highly recommend using them for your pets!”
“Words cannot describes how awesome Amber is! She went above and beyond our expectations and we will absolutely use her again! When I first contacted her months ago, she quickly replied and made arrangements to come meet our dog, Kai. We elected to have her do drop in visits at our home rather than have her keep our dog in her home (because we weren't sure how our dog would do with her dog). I was extremely nervous because Kai is very territorial and barks when the wind blows. My mind was instantly put at ease when I received a picture at her first drop in and a little summary of her visit. Each visit after that included another photo and summary. She even helped give some extra love to our cats, even though we hadn't asked her to. One of the final photos she sent even showed Kai letting her pet him (something I didn't think he would let her do). Finally, imagine our surprise when we returned home from our trip to see the pile of dirty dishes we had left in our sink, CLEAN on the countertop. Amber was wonderful and if I could give her 10 stars I would. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Jenna has been such a lifesaver! She takes great care of her pup clientele. 10/10 would recommend her! I was always sent an update, and plenty of pictures of the dogs getting some fresh air mid-day.”
“Would give 10 stars if possible. Had a great experience with Taylor and her boyfriend. Both went above and beyond. Will definitely be booking you guys again. Thank you for everything!”

“Jacqui did great with our cat, Flower. We were gone for a week and Flower seemed very at ease when we came home. Jacqui went above & beyond making sure our porch light was on/off when necessary & bringing in our mail. She was on time for every visit & sent photos/updates through out the week. She also responded to texts very fast which was relieving because our service was choppy. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Rachelle was very prompt with her visits. Aspen seemed to really like her. She is a very responsible young lady. I would most certainly use her again. I gave her a 4 star rating because I had no way to give her 4 1/2. I never give 5 star ratings, it's my philosophy that no one is perfect and there's always room for improvement.”
