What can I say? Destiny was amazing! She provided plenty of updates and pics, was super patient and attentive with both my pets (who both took to her VEYR quickly) and she even left the house in better condition than when she arrived! Destiny went above and beyond. I'd give more than 5 stars of I could!

Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!

Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.

I have known Heidi for many years and can absolutely vouch for her love and caring of dogs. She herself is fun, loving and active and that transfers to any animal that she interacts with. She is also a responsible person who you can be sure will be there for your dog when needed.

Katherine M. was great. We have an older house on some land with multiple complexities, and she handled them very well. She was very responsive and cared for our three pets as we would. I would have her house and pet sit again for sure.

Though not yet a pet owner herself, Grace delights in taking care of the pets of friends and family. She is very responsive to their individual needs and goes above and beyond to keep them entertained. Grace takes her pet care responsibilities seriously and makes sure to structure her schedule so that she can keep pets company when their family is away.

Katey is the best! My pups LOVE her. I had 4 dogs. 2 Chihuahuas, a Schnauzer and a mixed terrier. She would do drop ins when I worked long hours to potty (and play) with them. She also did several overnights, including a weeks' vacay. She updated me daily with texts and pictures. She is honest, reliable, trustworthy loves animals and very attentive to my pups needs. I was very sad to know she was leaving. But happy to know she is getting back in the biz!

Daniel did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and the house for 3 days. One of the dogs was sick and needed several medications which he stayed on top of. Communication was also top notch and he left the house clean and organized. Will definitely ask him back next time I need a house sitter!

Sylvia has looked after my senior cat on multiple occasions, and there are few people I trust so fully with her wellbeing. She is attentive, reliable, caring, communicative, proactive, and very organized. I know that my cat’s best interests, personality, and health are being looked after as if it were myself - and my cat is receiving the fun, affection and genuine care from someone who cares about and respects animals. Wholly recommend her as a trusted sitter for pets.

Dana was AMAZING! Attentive to Micky’s every need, great communicator prior to (despite being aeay on family reunion) and during her housesitting stay. She administered medication, walked him, played with him, gave him lots of loving attention. She has a great way with Micky. She took great care of my home, very respectful. Will use her again
