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.

Paul is the best! Our dogs are always tired (in a good way) and happy when we get home after hanging out with him and Arlo. He sends a lot of nice updates, pictures and videos, so we never have to worry about them while we’re traveling. 10/10!

During a rough start thanks to my anxious dog, Samantha was communicative and patient. I think it paid off and once Cava warmed, they had an excellent stay. Pictures and updates were provided every day. Samantha was able to help us out on pretty short notice as well so we are thankful. Will be using Samantha again.

Peter is Fantastic! He was thorough in asking about my pets needs, as well as following requests and a schedule to ensure they got the right amount of exercise and care. He stayed at the house so it was comforting he was there with them the duration of the time he was caring for them. He sent detailed summaries of the day with pictures each evening. I would absolutely work with Peter again!

Heidi was amazing with our two boys! We just moved to Portland from out of state and it is a scary thing to have to find someone that you trust with your fur babies, but Heidi was great from the start. She came over a day before her stay to meet the boys and for us to show her around. I felt at ease right away. We have her booked for two more stays and have no hesitation booking her again.

Joseph watched our two dogs and home for a few days. He was available for a meet and greet prior and provided cute photos and daily updates during his stay. Though our velcro dog would have loved some more human time (he can't get enough) we came home to happy dogs and a clean house!

Daisy was great with our dog, Thea, and sent us lots of updates while we were away. Thea’s collar was also frayed and broke mid-walk, and Daisy managed to get her home without issue. Daisy also left our home in great condition. We are so grateful Thea was in such good hands while we were traveling!

David took care of my 2 year old golden retriever and home while I was out of state for 5 days. Before confirming, David came to the house to meet Merlin and Merlin relaxed with him immediately, curling up at his feet. That is not typical of my very enthusiastically greeting dog! Merlin and home seemed very calm, clean and well cared for upon my return. He kept me in photos and we checked in by text a couple of times, mostly because I've never left my pup before. I give him 5 stars absolutely!

Kendra was kind and reliable. She cared for our bubba while we were away on holiday. She communicated well and we returned to a clean house. We would recommend her and book her again. When our flight was delayed she even adjusted to stay a few hours later than originally planned and I’m beyond grateful for quick response and support.

Anna did an amazing job house sitting for our pups for 6 days. She was so good with our senior lab and his needs. She helped our you get pup get her energy out on walks and reached out when there was a house issue so we were able to address it quickly. Our dog who can normally be anxious when we’re not home loved Anna. We’ll happily hire Anna again as our dog sitter.

Jess is an incredible sitter. She is clearly very experienced and made me feel completely at ease from our very first meeting. It was the first time we’d left our dogs over the holidays, which was hard for me, but Jess asked all the right questions and sent thoughtful daily updates. She was also incredibly gracious and understanding when I was briefly unreachable. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
