“Sylvia was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She checked in with us every morning and evening with updates on the dogs. We have 3 high energy dogs that she made sure were well exercised. She was patient and attentive. 5/5! ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Taylor for all your pet-sitting needs! My cat seemed so happy and well cared for when I arrived home, and Taylor was excellent every step of the way with good communication and keeping me updated.”
“Lila is a warm, responsible friend to animals. She juggled caring for our cat and dog (who both have their quirks, and who both believe themselves to be THE most special one) with aplomb. We very much appreciated Lila’s reports and pictures of the fur babies while we were away. Absolutely top notch. Very highly recommend.”
“We liked Joy enormously. Shadow and Toby had so much fun they slept the entire afternoon after she left. And they loved the snuggles and sleeping under the sheets! We'll definitely book Joy again.”
“Christopher house sat and cared for our dog Pippa for almost a month while we were out of the country on vacation. Every day Chris sent us a picture and update on Pippa. We even got videos of her too! She was so well taken care of and Chris brought in packages and boxes that we received in the mail and sent us pictures of those too. We were impressed when we first met him, he had a system worked out to ensure that he would always know where Pippa was and would have the key to our house secure and available in the event he could not be there, which never happened. He had everything well thought out and we left for our vacation confident and reassured that everything would be taken care of. When we returned, Pippa was happy and as Chris promised, he left no trace of him having had been there! I highly recommend Chris as a pet and house sitter. He is dependable, punctual, true to his word and flexible with his availability in case our travel plans did not go smoothly, as can sometimes happen. I would definitely call on Chris in the future.”
“Shantell exceeded all my expectations. I was very nervous, leaving my newly elderly dog now on medicine with somebody. But she made it very easy. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and sent pictures and updates every day. I really think the dogs loved her. She also somehow cleaned up and made the beds, completely not expected. I would hire her over and over and over again.”
“Tyler and Emily are simply the best!! We’ve never felt so confident that our four-legged family members were being well cared for while we were away. During our first meetup to see if we were a good fit, Tyler and Emily took lots of time to get to know each of our critters (and us) and asked all the right questions to put our minds at ease. Before and during our recent pet/house sitting experience with them, Tyler was super easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to any questions we had. He also took some absolutely amazing pictures of the dogs that he shared with us while we were away. We also very much appreciated their willingness to “overlap,” arriving a little before we left and remaining until after we got back home. And the house was spotless when we returned – they even washed the bedding and towels for us. As much as WE love them, I’m pretty sure our two dogs and cat may love them even more!! Our 10-year-old Saint Bernard/Lab mix was so excited to see them again that he actually got the zoomies when they arrived, and our 9-year-old Weimaraner – who usually never cooperates when trying to take her picture – was apparently posing like a super model for Tyler. We could not be happier that we met these two and have already booked them again for a trip in February. If you are looking for excellent sitters for your pets and home, look no further.”
“Arianne was a wonderful dog and house sitter for us. She took incredible care of Monte our dog, and our home for four days. Sometimes Monte can be a handful, but she managed every aspect of his care with ease. We received many photos and updates from Arianne while we were away for Thanksgiving. Our house was in excellent condition when we arrived home. I could go on and on because she was such a great companion for Monte while we were away. We will always choose Arianne for dog sitting if she is available. I highly recommend her.”

“Jules really loves animals, and took very good care of Dexter. He got lots of attention and snuggles, and also went on a very long walk and a run. I highly recommend Jules for pet sitting or dog walking.”
“Ashley was the best. My dog Ali can be a challenge sometimes, but Ashley jumped right in and took her on some good adventures. They clearly bonded and I know Ali was sad to see her go. Ashley also left the house spotless and kept me posted with pics and videos during her stay. Totally 5 stars.”

Ari did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and our home. She is very thoughtful, careful, and gentle. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly. She was communicative and stayed in touch. We arrived home to happy pets and a clean house. We will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone in the area!
Tyler and Emily were great with our two young dogs and princess kitty. They met the dogs in energy and literally charmed the cat into their arms. The house was neat and tidy when we got home. Communication was timely and excellent. Fun photos too :-) Definitely hiring again!

Amanda was an awesome sitter! They took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time we were away. Her communication was tops, giving us total peace of mind. Not only did she take great care of Jim, but she also took excellent care of our home. We are so appreciative of her kindness, responsibility, and attention to detail. If you’re looking for an amazing pet sitter, Amanda is it!
Sierra was fantastic! She put us at ease with updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs loved being with her. Highly recommended, she did a great job. She even left our place clean and tidy upon return. Could not have asked for a better sitter. Thank you!
