“Allie is amazing with dogs, I trust her so much. I have three dogs (two golden retrievers and a bernedoodle) and they all absolutely love her. She is very kind, loving and patient. If your looking for someone that you and your dog can love and trust, Allie is the best!!”
2. Kira D.
“Kira was great! We hired her to come to our vacation AirB&B for two evenings when friends we were visiting didn't want animals in their home. Kira spent a few hours with our dog, so we could have dinner with our friends at their house. Kira arrived and was right away in control (clearly, she has some dog-handling experience), and our dog seemed happy. We'll definitely hire her again the next time we visit our friends!”
3. Mahalah L.
“Mahalah was very professional with quick responses to my requests to meet and greet, she was punctual for our visit and was well prepared for our meeting. I loved that she asked all the right questions and was comfortable with mine. The best part is that Mahalah really seemed to care about her responsibility as a sitter. She was very kind to my Jazzy Cat who needed extra care and compassion due to just losing our other cat. I also received detailed updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Mahalah !”
4. Layla D.
“Layla took such good care of our little Lylah while we were away for the weekend at our wedding. She stayed at our house so that Lylah was in her routine and comfortable in her own space. Layla sent us pictures and updates the whole weekend which we appreciated so much because we hate being away from our little pup”
5. David P.
“David P. takes excellent care of Rudy. Rudy looks forward to his visits. I can honestly say it is like leaving your pet with a trusted friend. I have full confidence that even if an emergency should arise David would handle the situation perfectly. Thank you so much David for your excellence service and commitment. The very definition of integrity is doing the right thing in any given situation whether there is a consequence or not. I wholly endorse David.”
6. Vera R.
“Vera did an overnight stay with my older dog Grace who has special needs. She took pictures and kept me informed throughout the stay how Grace was doing. Vera was attentive and caring to my girls needs. I will definitely be using her services again.”
7. Nadine L.
“Nadine is wonderful! She is an experienced rabbit sitter and gave Frankie the best care. She is kind, attentive, and a clear animal lover. We knew Frankie was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again.”
8. Jen N.
“Jen was great with our three pups! She was super responsive and a great communicator. She made sure to send lots of videos/pictures throughout the stay. The dogs seem to have really enjoyed her company :)”
9. John B.
“If we could give John 10 stars we would!!!! He’s an A+++ in our book ❤️ he’s great with dogs, ours are pretty easy to please to begin with but they took to John like a duck to water. He was very conscientious of their schedules so they kept to their routine, was polite, and proactive about sending updates during his stay (we had him stay for dog & house sitting for 4 days). The fact that John has veterinary experience was a huge relief as well, just knowing he’d more than likely be able to handle anything that came up made a world of difference (something we couldn’t really say about previous house/dog sitters we’ve used in the past). We will most definitely be asking John to come back again anytime we have plans to be away!!”
10. Ian W.
“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”
11. Keleigh L.
“Keleigh is the best! She is so kind and so good to my puppy. She takes penny for walks and also provides me multiple updates. She also made my living room look more together!”
12. Samantha T.
“We were very happy with Samantha's overnight stay. Our dogs haven't accepted being alone very well since we were home so much with Covid. They really liked Samantha and they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Samantha took the time to do a long meet and greet and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again if she's available!”
13. Lovely F.
“If I could do more stars I would. We just came back from 12 days vacation in Europe and I asked Lovely to babysit the dogs and the house. As everyone knows biggest travel concern, at least for us is leaving the dogs. She was phenomenal. She kept us updated, took care of the house and dogs in a crazy storm that hit our town while we were gone. Every communication helped put any fears I had to rest. Every company needs people who represents the vision they portray. Lovely does that to perfection. Lovely, thank you, thank you , thank you for everything. You’re 5+ stars. Zero reservations in using Lovely the next time we travel. Just hope she’s available!!!”
14. Sarah I.
About: I went to college for vet tech. It is called Mount Ida College in Newton MA. I learned a lot of skills there including CPR, administering medications, restraining them. I also have knowledge on how to care for other animals like horses, rabbits, fish, and reptiles. I work part time at Shoprite in Southbury, CT. My schedule varies from week to week but I will work it out. My extra busy hours are usually holidays. Sadly I can’t do it at home due the safety of my pets. It became too stressful with my brother’s cat and dog and my own cat.
15. Kim B.
“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”
16. Jonathan L.
“Johnathon is great with my pets. He is a responsible , hard working, diligent, devoted young man. I trust him fully with my pets. I suspect he will be a great asset to your company.”
17. Amanda D.
“Our experience with Amanda was nothing short of amazing! She went above and beyond in taking care of our pugs. Her communication was prompt and reassuring, and she even sent us cute pictures throughout our time away. We felt completely at ease. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
18. Guliser "Julie" B.
“Guli made herself available for an extremely last-minute booking and did an outstanding job taking care of my dog while I was away. It was very difficult for me to leave my dog, as I had never spent a night away from her before. She also has separation anxiety, which was a significant concern of mine. However, I am so pleased and feel much more comfortable leaving her in the future, knowing we have found such a trusted sitter! Guli was punctual, responsible, and communicated regularly, sending updates and pictures that reassured me my dog was happy and well cared for. Not only did Guli ensure my dog's routine was followed but she also went the extra mile to provide extra playtime and affection. My home was left clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Guli for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future.”
19. Caitlin O.
“Caitlin stayed at our house for a week with our elderly Shi Tzu. She provided daily updates and pics, and our dog was happy and content when we got home. And the house was spotless!!! We would highly recommend Caitlin and hope to use her again when we go on vacation in the future.”
