“Lauren was awesome. She took care of my rescue Rambo while I was away with my family and he loved his stay. Upon meeting her she clearly showed her professionalism from beginning to end. I could tell she has a sincere passion for dogs. She was very responsive through text message and I felt very comfortable and confident leaving him with her. I would most definitely recommend Lauren as a sitter to anybody.”
“This is the third time our rescue Rosie has stayed with Mary and John. It is the first time we left her since COVID started though. We were a little nervous on how she would react to being without us since she’s been around us all the time since. It was another great experience, so glad we can go away and feel confident that she will be well looked after. Thank you John and Mary.❤️”

I would highly recommend her for dog sitting.”

“We have left Roco with James several times now and he is a favorite. I love that he takes only one dog each time, since it means he is providing full attention to your dog, and there is less risk of accidents. Roco is always happy to see him (as soon as we drive into his area) and is calm when I pick him up. I can tell he loves to stay with James!! No anxiety, no rush to get in the car. Just perfect!! Also we value James flexibility: we had flights changed and he accommodated the extra time without any issue.”

Very responsible and attentive, I got the feeling that my dog liked them, and they sent me updates with photos throughout the time that really put me at ease and helped me feel like he was with me. This is the 1st time someone has updated me each time he took his medication, which helped a lot to alleviate my concerns that someone will forget this. Highly recommend!
Macauley was absolutely the best! Our pet was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved pet, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
Kassidy was very caring and our pet Buddy loved his stay with her. She kept sharing Buddy's activities info and his photos with us periodically which was very calming for us. We will definitely use her services in future and recommend her to those who are looking for a safe home for their pets while going on vacation.
Jeymy took great care of Nina for four days! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was also very flexible with check-in and check-out, which I really appreciated. Nina was well cared for, and everything went smoothly. I’m very thankful for her help and would definitely recommend her!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
