“Rachel did an amazing job and she left my home better than I left it, lol!!! She was attentive and communicates everything and lots of pictures! My boys loved her and I felt like I could enjoy my time away! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again! We love her.”
“Tori was incredible! She house sat for us for about a week while we were in Europe. She took care of our cat the entire time, sending us adorable photos each day. A huge benefit of having her stay in our home was her checking the mail and bringing in packages for us, we can’t thank you enough!”

“Jessica and Ernie ? were SO GREAT for our boys and great to our home. We got pictures and lots of updates. She left the house spotless and went above and beyond to keep everything in our boys' world as business as usual as possible while we were away. We know when we take a longer trip they'll be in great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ayanna was wonderful with my pups! She arrived exactly when she said she would, she sent videos/pictures, and provided detailed updates about walks, meals, etc. Will definitely work with Ayanna again!”

“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”
“Nichole house sat and took great care of my pup, Evie! She sent multiple updates with lots of photos, which made me feel super at ease!! She was flexible when I asked her to come earlier than I had first booked her for (put my anxious travel mind at ease!!). Thank you Nichole!”
“I moved to the area and was so nervous about finding someone in the area that was patient, caring and detail oriented to pet sit my 17yo minpin for a whole week. From our 1st meeting, Angela had great postive energy and asked good questions. Angela followed my instructions, kept me updated on how he was doing and did a fantastic job! He was in great spirits when I got home and could tell he was given plenty of love and care!”
“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”
“Sarah gets the highest marks in all categories. Lovely, personable, responsible, knowledgeable, caring. and attentive to our needs and that of our 14-year old Husky, Shiri. To say Sarah is an animal lover is an understatement. She quickly made best friends with Shiri, and kept us.apprised with messages and photos each day. Sarah is the best!”
“Kimberly was amazing caring for our pets. She was super communicative from her arrival, to sending updates/pictures/videos throughout each day, letting us know when she came and went and any questions she had. Even got our finicky cat to take his meds in his food. The house looked great. Recommend her for any pet sitter needs!”
“Evangelene was super communicative and sent tons of photos of our dog while we were gone. She did great giving his meds and managing his little anxieties around the house and on walks. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Emma was fantastic with my dogs and an excellent house guest! She washed the bedding before she left and tidied up the house. The dogs were well taken care of and happy. Will definitely reach out to her again for future sits!”
“Our dog Kilo loves Carrie so much! We can't say enough good things about her: she's such a thoughtful person, and she always gives Kilo and our cat Lucy a ton of attention, time outside with friends, and snuggles on the couch. Whenever we have to be out of town, it's a relief to know the fur babies are in such good hands. Thank you as always, Carrie and Jonathan!!”
