“Melissa did a great job. This was our first trip away since we added a puppy to the household. She listened to all our concerns and really put any worries I had to rest. She sent many truly wonderful photos and videos. She clearly kept my dogs healthy and happy. And our house looked great upon our return. I would use her again without hesitation.”

“Olivia is amazing! She was extra considerate with our older dog and medicine, took wonderful care of our home and was so thorough. Wonderful communication, she’ll be our regular! Highly recommend.”


5. Kristy N.

“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”

9. Kaytlin L.

“Kaytlin was so wonderful taking care of my reactive and anxious dog, Magpie. I felt instantly at ease when I met her, and could tell that she genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I appreciated her updates while we were away, which allowed me to relax knowing my sweet dog was in great hands. When I returned home, I walked into my home and found it cleaner than when I left it, which always feels good after a trip, and was so thoughtful. I think the most telling, was seeing Magpie's demeanor when we got back. She was calm and at ease, and I could tell that Kaytlin worked well with her, which is not always the case when we travel! It can be really hard to find people who understand how to work with reactivity and anxiety in dogs, and I am so grateful for Kaytlin's care.”


10. Jerilyn S.

“Jerilyn was wonderful, she was everything we could hope for our pets and our home. She managed our pets with ease and left the house clean and undamaged. Our dogs were sad to see her leave and the kitties ran from one bedroom to another looking for her. She is a positive, bright, and kind person who truly enjoys the companionship of animals a dream sitter. We would definitely hire her again.”

12. Amy C.


“My reactive dog loved Amy so much, and my kittens were happy and calm when we came home. Amy took a lot of care asking questions and learning about the animals and their needs. She checked in with pics and updates throughout the trip. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her in my home.”


13. Sabrina & Daniel S.


“Daniel and Sabrina were excellent dog sitters! They treated our dog like a queen! We loved all the photos they took, in which, you could tell our dog was having a good time and getting lots of attention and love.
