Mikayla did a great job looking after my babies and communicating! She sent plenty of pictures and was even kind enough to wash the sheets for the room she stayed in. I really appreciate her services and will definitely use her for future pet care needs!

Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again

Suzanne's initial communication was prompt, informative and positive. After an initial meet and greet with us and our two dogs, she spent a week with our pups. Our trip was fun and relaxing because we were so confident that Suzanne was taking good care of Moo and Charlie. She sent notes and pictures daily showing off her ability to walk the dogs together, a feat my wife has not mastered. Call Suzanne with absolute confidence!

I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!

Gemma took great care of both of our large dogs. She stayed at our house for two nights, played with the pups until they were wore out and gave us frequent pupdates. She also cares for other animals as she took care of our conure. She left the house spotless and was very pleasant to deal with.

Megan was beyond marvelous with my Nali. She stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, and made sure to share regular photos and updates. It was immediately clear how much she cares about animals, and making sure our anxious boy felt relaxed and safe around her. This was the first vacation where we truly didn’t worry about him, and that alone says everything. She even helped out with brushing and nail trims!! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I was fortunate enough to have Adrian and her twin Lillian watch over my Labs, while I was on vacation. They had a bit of a challenge with my crew, 2 females and a male normally laid back, easy to work with unfortunately my girls were in their cycle! Separation was very important, with one of my girls being too young and the other not ready. If you have had this experience you know what their challenges were. They done a great job for me, my home seemed to be in better shape than when I left, as far as my crew goes I feel like they were a bit disappointed when they realized it was me walking in instead of Adrian, that tells me the treatment/services they received!!!! Needing a Great Sitter give them a call!!!

Abe was great with our dog Alfie, we were searching the day before our trip because our sitter cancelled, and Abe responded quickly and showed up the next day! He hired him for a week and each day he was responsive (gave us updates and photos of Alfie) and gave our dog fun things to do. He even taught our highs-energy dog commands! Would recommend Abe for watching your dog.

About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed. Rover is a summer side job for me to fund my college and stay active. And I love playing and being with dogs and cats. When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.

Karrie did an awesome job watching my fur babies while I had to travel for a work week. She regularly provided updates and pictures which put my mind at ease as I had never hired an overnight pet sitter before. The place looked just like it did when I came back and she clearly understands and loves cats. I definitely would recommend her to house sit for your pets.

She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.

We would highly recommend Carissa! She did such a great job with our nervous dog. She has a calming presence and did not overwhelm her, and gave her time to slowly warm up. She sent us updates and sweet photos. She left our house in great shape. You can tell by her interactions that she cares about providing the best experience for the pets and the humans. We have interacted with a lot of dog sitters over the years and she is one of the very best!

Mae was amazing!! She stayed with my two kitties for 5 days and they were well taken care of during that time. They sent me daily pictures and kept in contact and promptly responded back when I sent a text. It was such a relief having someone to depend on when out of town. Don’t hesitate to have Mae stay with your animals… they will be happy and you will be at ease as well. Thank you Mae!! Will definitely use them again!!
