1. Luciana S.

“Luciana understands dogs! We booked her last minute to walk our pups while we were attending Magic Kingdom. We were nervous because our male husky can sometimes be skeptical with new people. Not with Luciana! He loved her right away. She sent us plenty of updates and always responded fast. If we lived in Orlando, we would book with her regularly!”


2. Shawnee S.


“Shawnee was awesome. Hunter really bonded with her. He had the best time. She even pulled in our outside items during the storm. Will definitely use her again”


3. Nautica V.

“Nautica was great! This was our first time leaving our dogs overnight with someone and she helped us feel at ease with constant updates and photos.”


4. Therese F.

“Therese did an amazing job with our boys! Our dogs typically bark at new people but during the meet and greet they went up to her no problem. She sent us daily updates and took great care of everything!”


5. Haylee C.

“Haylee took great care of my fur babies. She brought her own pup to come play with mine. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me posted. Would definitely reach out again!! 🥹🥹💕”


6. Colleen J.

“Colleen was great with our Dino who has severe separation anxiety. She knew exactly how to manage him and knew to take him for a walk just after we departed to distract him from our leaving. He remained calm and was not anxious when we returned. We will be reaching out to Colleen frequently - she's a gem!”




7. Bradley L.


“Perfect job even though we changed our plans a few times. Our dogs loved Bradley and were not traumatized by us being gone at all. Will definitely use him again.”




8. Breanna S.

“Bre was amazing! She communicated throughout our 8 day european trip and sent photos of our Milo. She was so sweet and nice and you can tell she truly cared for our little nugget and they became besties. I definitely recommend booking Bre for your fur baby!”


9. Yvonne P.
“Always happy to book with Yvonne😄 She goes above and beyond to make sure the fur babies are happy and stayed an extra day when our flights got canceled. Thank you! We will definitely book with them again 😄”


10. Makayla K.

“Makayla did an amazing job with my babies. She would always keep me updated on their activities. She took care of them as if they were her own, making sure they were properly fed and got plenty of exercise. I would love to have her house sit again!”


11. Alison G.

“Alison is an absolute gem when it comes to caring for both your home and pets. From the moment we met, I knew our furry family was in the best possible hands. Alison is incredibly reliable, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. Our pup loved meeting Alison and our home was immaculate upon our return. She went above and beyond, sending us updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend Alison to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet and house sitter. She is truly exceptional!”


12. Katelyn S.

“Katey was great! She sent lots of photo updates of our pups and cat. It is so comforting to know our babies are with someone who genuinely cares about them. Thank you Katey!”


13. Evan R.

“This was our first time booking Rover and wasn't sure what to expect. BUT Evan was wonderful.. She did exactly what was asked.. Our 2 older dogs can be a bit high maintenance with health issues.. But I can not say enough on how great she was. She stayed the entire time with them, and loved up on them as if they were her own. You can tell Evan loves what she is doing ..We have her booked for our next trip !”


14. Isabella S.


“Isabella went above and beyond with our crew! She kept us up to date with cute photos but also let us know about some concerns (possible ear infection, garage door issues, etc.) We came home to a clean house and happy dogs - what more can you ask for?”


15. Rachelle S.


“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”




16. Natalie Y.
“Natalie has cared for our two cats on the many occasions we have been out of town. Not only is she responsible, diligent, and communicative, but she is so affectionate and loving towards them, as if they were her own. She is all around a wonderful, kind person and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who can give their pets the love and attention they deserve.”


17. Nilka A.


“Nilka was wonderful with our pups. She visited our home, let them live their best lives and was very respectful of everything. Very communicative and sent pictures/videos all day! We’ll gladly have her back to watch Huck & Lulah. Thanks again!”


18. April M.

“April did a fantastic job with our crew while we were away. Provided pictures and updates throughout the week, and even noticed when one of our dogs didn't seem to be their normal self. I would definitely recommend her and rebook with her.”


19. Amberlyn B.



“Amberlyn hung out with our sweet boy all day and took great care of him. She write me a details update after her shift, which was appreciated!”


20. Abigail H.
“Abby was my favorite pet sitter. My Sangria pup adored her! She was responsible and always left my home in great condition. I trusted her to give my baby medications and she reported her dietary intake and walks. If she hadn't moved away I'd still use her!”
