1. Jordan M.


“Jordan was exceptional! She went above and beyond. Sent me updates daily & included pictures! I definitely recommend Jordan for all your pet sitting needs. I'll be using her in the future & recommending her to my friends and family ❤️”


2. Victoria V.

“Torrie was great, I was instantly comfortable leaving her to take care of my dog. She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay which was great. I will definitely be asking her to come back when needed.”


3. Maggie C.

“Maggie is the first house-sitter I’ve ever needed, and she was wonderful. Initially I was very nervous about trusting anyone to watch my dog for four days, but my nerves were calmed once Maggie arrived. She attentively listened to all the guidance I provided regarding my mature dog. And he was very well behaved about having a new person take care of him. If I should ever need someone to watch my dog again, I will definitely check Maggie’s availability.”


4. Shemoy S.

“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”


5. Callie F.
“Callie is extremely reliable and trustworthy! She truly cares about any pets as if they are her own. To keep owners at ease Callie sends updates when asked and will even send updates just to show your animal is having a fun time!”


6. Kathleen C.

“Kathleen is amazing! She checked in regularly with pictures of my relaxed and content baby. She was caring and attentive. She even picked up on his silent cues for when he wanted a snack or treat. When we came home, it was as if we'd only been away for 10 minutes. There is no one I'd trust more.”




7. Elizabeth K.

“Elizabeth was attentive to Daisy's needs per the 'care & feeding' instructions we provided. Just as importantly, she treated Daisy as if her own, which was apparent by Daisy snoozling on Betsy's luggage as she prepared to leave.”


8. George S.

“It is so nice to not have to worry about the care of our pets. George is extremely responsible and communicative (when necessary). This is the first time in years I have been on vacation and was able to relax not having to worry about my dog.”


9. Jasmine H.
“Best sitter, attentive and ever so caring to my poodle Daphne. Every time I come back home my pretty girl wants to leave with her. Very loving sitter!”


10. Leah H.

“We absolutely love Leah!! She's so good with our dogs. Very punctual and responsible. She stays over with our two and leaves or home just the way we left it.”


11. Alexis D.

“Alexis is exactly the sitter we were looking for! She was so wonderful to our dog and we loved her constant updates and photos to keep us at ease while we were away. I hate to share how amazing she was so I can keep her to myself, but she deserves the best review!”


12. Kimberly T.

“Best sitter I’ve ever had. The dogs love her. She takes time to play and love on them. I recently lost my husband and she talked to me about one dog displaying severe session. Absolutely the BEST!”


13. Linda W.

“Linda was awesome. Sadie was relaxed and happy while in her care. It was nice to go on vacation and know that Sadie was being well cared for. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants their pet to stay home while they are gone. I will definitely request Linda again if we go away.”


14. Katherine B.

“Katherine and Winston watched our sweet pup for two weeks, staying at our house. They gave us such piece of mind with daily pics of her walks. We could see she was happy and well taken care of! They communicated great, left our house immaculate, and gave our pup the attention and love she needed. Highly recommend!!!”


15. Mariaeva D.
“Mariaeva is a dedicated and caring individual who prioritizes the safety and well-being of animals. She has two dogs of her own, whom she treats with love and care as if they were family. Mariaeva has looked after my two dogs and has always been reliable, arriving punctually with a positive attitude. My dogs adore her and are always thrilled to see her. With her kind heart and genuine love for animals, I am confident Mariaeva will provide excellent care for others’ pets, just as she has with mine.”


16. Morgan A.

“Morgan took great care of our two dogs and two cats while we were gone for a week! We felt very at-ease knowing that they had someone with them while they were gone.”


17. Shelby T.
“Shelby is a fantastic Cat Mom herself and is so great with animals of all kind! She is thorough, compassionate, friendly, reliable, responsible, and understanding. She’s done a fabulous job when pet-sitting for me and provided extensive updates as to how my two pets were doing. My pets are like my children, and Shelby was great to work with! It gave me such great peace of mind to know my babies not only had their basic needs met (food, water, litter scooped), but were given lots of attention, love, pets, and play as well! I use Shelby every time I go out of town and will continue to do so. She comes highly recommended!”


18. Destiny K.

“Amazing! She took care of our 4 dogs and their varying needs with ease!”


19. Thomas H.

“Thomas always does a great job taking care of our two giant dogs!”


20. Hattie F.
