2. Rose V.


“Rose was great! Followed all of our neurotic dog mama instructions to a T! Came back to happy, healthy dogs and an immaculate house! She sent regular pics and was so thoughtful that she even left a list of things she took care of before she left. Would def recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to have her sit for us again.”


3. Claire M.
“Claire Is by far the most disciplined and thoughtful person I have ever met. She pays close attention to detail in all things in life. After having been her college roommate I can vouch for her when I say I trust her with my fur babies. Claire has watched my dog and cat while I was gone for family vacations and she continues to whenever needed. Not only do I see the love and care she has for animals, but my pets do too. My pets even get more excited about seeing her than me! I trust my pets with her and you should too.”

6. Nicole M.

“Nicole was fantastic! Our dog Juniper loved having her spend a night with her. I felt very comfortable having her in our home and taking care of our girl. When she had to leave while we were in our way home, she was sure to leave the TV on for our dog, it was a great touch of care. We know she listened to the little details we spoke about during our introduction. We will definitely be using Nicole again!”




7. Shana G.

“Stellar professional with a loving heart, attention to detail, and a flexible disposition. My dog was in great shape upon my return from a long trip, and Raena's care made all the difference in terms of peace of mind, and knowing he was in a great environment with someone who is genuinely loving towards animals and people. Raena has my highest recommendation. We miss her already.”


10. Dan B.

“Dan was great! He stayed with our dog for 5 days while we were away for the holidays, and took great care of our pup. He was extremely prompt and reliable with communication, which I appreciated—both in our initial conversations about booking and then sending daily photos/updates while we were gone. We would definitely book with Dan again!”


11. Nathan B.

“Nathan did great with our mixed-breed pit bull and super mutt. They all got along well and everyone was on great shape upon our return!”


12. Anastasia F.

“Anyone that comes across Anastasia’s profile needs to immediately book her to sit, walk, and take care of your little loved one. We were traveling for the holiday weekend, and booked Anastasia to stay with our dog Bishop while we attended a wedding and as hectic as it was for us to even arrive to our destination Anastasia had the most amazing communication, super quick response , was super patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Even after a phone call with her of her getting food for our pup we immediately felt safe, comfortable, and had so much weight taken off our shoulders. I’d write this review forever because there are only great things I can say, our pup bishop is still shy and new to strangers and within minutes of spending times with Anastasia bishop immediately liked her. She sent us pictures throughout the booking , and really took care of Bishop. Anastasia you rock!!! We will continue to book you every chance we get when we are in the area, but truly thank you for just being amazing to our little one Sincerely, Juan & Dallis Please book her ; you will not regret it!”


13. Jill H.

“The moment of contacting and interacting with Jill, I had a good feeling which was confirmed by two days of reliable, thoughtful and attentive care for my cat companion Emma. I could tell from the photos Jill sent that Emma had it well. I am very grateful for the confidence I was given. I highly recommend Jill!”


14. Kristin C.
“Kristin was great. She let me know what was going on with the boys during my vacation. I appreciated the flow of pics through my trip to see how my boys were doing. The communication with Kristin from the beginning of the process to the end was excellent.”


15. Thomas-James C.
“I can't say enough good things about TJ! He has been absolutely amazing in taking care of his dog and my cat. TJ is always attentive to his dog’s needs, whether it’s making sure he gets enough exercise, preparing nutritious meals, or simply spending quality time together. I’ve seen how TJ takes the time to play, train, and bond with his dog, and it’s clear that he shares a special connection. Whether it’s going on daily walks, participating in fun activities, or ensuring his dog is comfortable and safe, TJ always prioritizes his furry friend’s well-being. As for my cat, who can be a bit more finicky, TJ handled him with such care and patience. He made sure he had his favorite treats, kept his litter box clean, and even spent time playing with him, which is something not many people are willing to do. It’s clear that TJ has a deep love for animals and truly understands their personalities and needs. I never had to worry while I was away, knowing that my cat was in such capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend TJ!”


16. Ann Marie N.

“Anna was amazing with our pups. Great communication, great photos, and the pups were very happy to see her again. 5 stars! Thank you!”

“Kaleigh is a true animal lover, she is loving, caring, emphatic, playful, sincere and compassionate. She enjoys being around dogs, cats a lot of types of animals. She has lots of love and loyalty to four legged friends. She would shower an animal with extra hugs and kisses, would look forward for a nice long walk together”


18. Rupinder K.
“First and foremost, I know Rupinder to be extremely caring for all animals. She is the type of person to go out of her way on day to day basis to help out any animal she meets. For this reason, I feel assured that she would make a caregiver to anyones pet and will have nothing but the best of intentions to care for them. Moreover, I know Rupinder to be well experienced in caring for both her own pets, and for those of others. I am aware of her experiences with both dogs and cats and have seen her caring for these animals first hand. I can guarantee that if Rupinder is your pet's caretaker, you have someone who cares about your pet.”


19. Bailey R.
“Bailey watches our 2 dogs whenever my wife and I go out of town. I think the dogs like her more than us. I would highly recommend Bailey, she is great.”
