Brianna took care of my pup for 5 nights and he was so happy and healthy when we got back! He has a lot of bladder issues and she did a great job following extra instructions to handle it ! She was loving to him and was by his side most of the time I was away! She also left my home perfectly clean

Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!

Rebecca was great with our dog Nala! She watched her for a week while we were out of town. Rebecca was communicative and up front about her schedule so we could make sure it aligned with our needs. She sent picture updates and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. We will reach out to Rebecca again the next time we need a sitter.

Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!

Kirsten was super easy to communicate with and she was great with our dog! We left our pup for the first time since we adopted her and felt a little nervous about leaving her but Kirsten kept us updated and sent pictures everyday while we were gone. She was also sitting our dog at our apartment and she was a great guest. She even cleaned up and took out the trash for us! I highly recommend Kirsten for your dogs (:

We've been so happy with Anna as our dog sitter. A few things stand out: her communication is excellent — we always feel informed and on the same page. Our dogs don't always take to new people, but they love her, which gave us instant peace of mind. She administers medication to one of them without any issues, and she clearly keeps them engaged and active — they're happily tired by the time we get home. On top of all that, she's respectful of our space. Highly recommend!

Carla was awesome and I would absolutely have her come back to house sit for my dog Harley. My sitter cancelled on me last minute and Carla jumped in, she was able to schedule a meet and greet within the hour and sit for Harley that weekend. She sent me a ton of updates, and then when I got home my house was super clean and she had left me a little chocolate (SO SWEET)!! Thank you so much Carla for going above and beyond!!

Erica took great care of our dog and two cats for a weekend. She arrived early in the morning on the day we left to make sure they ate on time, and made sure to allow time to feed them and take the dog for a walk before she had to leave for work on the final morning. She was responsive, sent regular updates, and left the house tidy. It was great to have a reliable sitter!

Vannice was fantastic when it came to taking care of my dog and making sure all her needs were met! She ensured to provide daily pictures and updates when she took my dog out as well as when she was fed to make sure I knew what was going on throughout the day while I was gone. I’m glad to know my dog was in great hands while I was gone and would definitely recommend Vannice to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

I have an elderly arthritic dog who has lots of needs and lots of meds. She did great with him and went above and beyond. She even offered to take his 95lb fluffy butt to the groomer when she noticed some irritation on his skin. She’s very communications and responsive and we will definitely book again.
