“Thank you so much, Shannon, for taking such great care of our pups! We didn’t worry while we were gone, and we know the dogs had a great time and were well cared for!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of our two young cats in our home. They have a ton of energy and require a lot of playtime, and Stephanie clearly gave them a lot of attention and care. Additionally, one of our cats has pica, and Stephanie was very conscientious about that and was able to get her to take her liquid medication each morning (not an easy task). She provided detailed updates and lots of pics, and we felt very at ease knowing our kitties were safe in her care. We highly recommend Stephanie to everyone and we would love to work with her again!”
“Justine took such good care of our girls and they just love her. Communication was clear and easy and the house was left very clean and neat. Will book again!”
“We felt totally comfortable with Peter watching the pups. I know they were happy and cared for. He will be our first consideration anytime we need them cared for. Beyond excellent.”
“Flynn was great, we felt comfortable and relaxed while he watched our dog. He clearly has a touch with animals and especially dogs with anxiety. He was communicative and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our time away!”
“Danny couldn’t have been better. He was invested on my dog’s habits, routine, and was willing to take the time to really get to know him and take care of him. As long as he allows, Danny will be my first choice.”
“Laura is so sweet & loving to my Wally! As much as I miss him when I'm away, it's so comforting to know that he is being loved & well cared for. Thanks a million, Laura!”
“Emily is always our first choice sitter and I would recommend her to everyone. She is so wonderful with our dog, is great at updating us, and always leaves our apartment spotless. She takes all the anxiety out of leaving our dog when we go on vacation, and our dog loves her!”
“Johnny was very patient with our dog who can be shy with new people. After only two visits Johnny and our dog are becoming good friends. Johnny is also very responsive to messages and regularly sends updates describing how our dog is doing.”
“Melissa was wonderful with my kitties! I had her stay overnight at my place while I was out of town and she kept me updated and sent me pictures of them every day :) she was very attentive to their needs and I came home to some very happy boys! I'll be using Melissa for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Alyssa was wonderful throughout, and went above and beyond for us more than once! We cannot recommend her enough as a dog sitter for your pet!”
“Chelsea was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and sent pictures without my even asking for them. My cats were chill and happy when I got home, a sure sign that they had a good time, and Ruby even slept up on the bed with Chelsea one of the nights I was gone! High praise in this house. I'll be hiring Chelsea again no question.”
“We love Jess!!! She’s an amazing communicator and loves our fur babies as if they were her own. They love her! Jess is respectful of your space and we are just so grateful to have found her.💜”
“Heidi did a great job. My boys are terribly shy and wary of new people, but they were cuddling her on day 1. That's the best endorsement I think she could get 😁 When I got home, the boys were very happy to see us, but I could tell they hadn't been lonely while we were gone.”
“Joseph took care of our Boston terrier, pickle for the weekend. Joseph was super communicative and flexible. Left the house tidy and came home to a happy pup! Highly recommend!”

“Megan arrived on time and stayed a little later caring for our pets! We appreciate her pet sitting as pets were not allowed on hiking trail. Thanks Megan!”
“Crystal was amazing! Took amazing care of our dog and home while we were away. Great communication, updates, and pretty sure our dog was having more fun than when we are home. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Alexander did an amazing job dog sitting our fur crew. The pups had a blast playing and walking. I always know they are in good hands with Alexander!”
“Goes well out of his way to make sure your dog is taken care of. Paul managed an entire power outage situation with our dog and house while we were away and everything went smooth. He was overly willing to do what he could to help and we are truly grateful.”
