“We hired Nikki kind of last minute because another arrangement we had fell through. She responded to my inquiry quickly and came right over and met our two dogs and I showed her around the house and explained the general routine our dogs have. She seemed great with the dogs and I felt comfortable letting her come to the house while we were gone (about 2.5 days). Nikki came for all 10 of the scheduled visits right on time and she sent us a lot of great pics of the dogs enjoying themselves. We're super pleased with Nikki and would hire her again.”


“What can I say. Norman is very reliable.. Our dogs loved him right away.. He keeps on schedule unlike other sitters.. You can't go wrong with Norman. Will definitely have him again if he is free. I can understand why he is booked a lot.”


“Ajanay, you have been nothing but a wonderful blessing to us. Thank you for saying yes to us on a last minute notice when we urgently need someone to check on Keira, Luna, Moon and Kitchy. Words are not enough to say how grateful we are to you for taking great care of our fur babies and for going above and beyond with your service. They will definitely miss you after you spoiled them with love, care, attention, treats and toys. Your rover card reports and photo updates was such a treat to us. We are at peace and happy knowing our babies are well cared of, are safe and happy. I hope more people get to see and experience the kind of care you gave to our babies and for being simply awesome. Definitely, you will be our top choice next time we need someone to watch over them. If only I can give you more than 5 stars I will absolutely give you a perfect 10. Thank you once again, and I’m looking forward to meeting you next time. Happy Thanksgiving, Ajanay!”


“Wish I could give MORE stars for Brady, she earned them! Our neighbor was watching our dog when needed, but moved away! I found Brady here and especially for her “older dog experience”, our dog was 15 years old! Brady came on the evenings I was working to give our dog, Bucca, a potty break! She would spend extra time with petting, treats, and TLC each time! Unfortunately our dog stopped eating and finding our steps difficult to climb up and down! Brady was there on the last evening before we euthanized our dog and she gave her extra special TLC for an extra time! I absolutely HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone to hire Brady to provide care for your pets whenever needed! When we get a new dog, she will be the first person that we will contact with our news!! Thank you Brady! For the short time you knew our dog, you became a GREAT FRIEND for her! God bless you!!”


“So glad Katia was available on short notice to check in on my kitties. She’s reliable, communicative, and great with animals. Will definitely book her again in the future!”


“Kendall was very responsive when I needed a dogsitter last minute. She arrived on time, took good care of the dogs, which allowed me to focus on doing my work and priorities. She is friendly and keeps me informed about arrival, gives an update about what she did with the dogs (I.e., let them out in yard, feed them, walk them). Great sitter!!”


“If you are looking for a dog sitter that truly cares about your loving family member then look no further Arassely is the person for the job! Our dog is nervous and Arassely help to make her feel comfortable and safe while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to all the animal lovers out there that are looking for peace of mind.”
