Missy was very communicative and caring to my cat. It was first time using a sitter for him. I was a bit nervous as we had just moved and worried my cat would not do well. Would definitely rebook with Missy!

Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!

We couldn’t be happier with the care that Mary provides for our dog. Bodger aka Huevo absolutely loves her and it’s clear that Mary genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing work schedules which has been such a help Because our dog is a rescue finding someone we could completely trust was extremely important to us. Mary exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. Knowing Huevo is safe and happy and well cared for when we’re away is priceless. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable and caring and trustworthy dog sitter!

Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!

This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.

Ryan was so helpful with our dog and two cats. Our regular pet sitter had to cancel last minute and Ryan really stepped up and helped us out so much. He even gave our cat medicine so he could feel his best while we’re gone. We will definitely be rebooking with Ryan sometime soon!
