“Jackson was a pleasure to work with. Our pup and home were taken great care of while we were gone. He was responsive and a great communicator, showed up on time and as expected, and provided updates through the duration of the booking. Thanks Jackson!”


“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”


“Alex watched our pup Ronald for a week and we couldn’t have been happier. He’s a nervous little guy and she was more than happy to meet him multiple times before our trip to help ease his nerves (and ours!). While we were away, she sent multiple updates and photos a day, was a fabulous communicator, took outstanding care of Ronald, and left our home spotless, even washing sheets and towels without us asking! We couldn't recommend Alex more as a pet sitter!”


“Jennifer was amazing with our two dogs and cat! She sent plenty of updates with pictures and both the dogs looked so happy. Also came home to a clean house! Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone!”


“Autumn is the best! She cared for my furbabies so well, sent me updates every day, communicated with me about a couple issues that arose, and problem-solved. And she left my house exactly as she found it. She will be our sitter every time from here on out!”


“Katherine was communicative and kind in caring for my sweet pup while I was out of town. She checked in frequently and I would definitely recommend her for housesitting again.”



“My boyfriend and I had not gone out of town together in a very long time. We have gone for short weekend trips and had friends stay with our fur babies but we had never found someone we truly trusted in taking care of our “kids”. Nate is that someone. Our pups were happy and taken care of and we will be scheduling with him in the future. Thank you Nate ??”



“Our dogs love Joan! We can tell from the photos and texts that she takes great care of them while we are away- we can enjoy our time away knowing they are in such good, caring hands. Thank you Joan!”


“Raven did a fantastic job looking after our little gang of 4. Very responsive, sent plenty of updates and pictures, and left the house spotless. It is not easy to find good and trustworthy people that you would feel confident with your 4 legged family members, but Raven made us feel at ease for the entirety of our trip. 10/10 will hopefully work with her again in the future!”


“Lori was absolutely amazing!! She was super communicative and considerate of our and our pets needs while she house sat for us over a long weekend. The pets were so happy and healthy when we got back and she kept our house very clean and tidy for us too! I would very highly recommend Lori for any pet care needs!”


“Heidi was an amazing sitter for our cat, Bali! She constantly communicated during our entire week-long vacation and ensured that our complicated routine was followed perfectly. We received endless pictures of a very happy kitty and were even left with the sweetest handmade gift at the end of the stay. Once we returned home, our house was cleaner than we had left it and Bali was calm and cuddly - just the way we love him. Thank you so much, Heidi! Highly recommend!”


“Kira did such a fantastic job with my dog for an overnight sitting! It was my first time leaving my baby with someone else and she did such a wonderful job taking care of and sending updates that I felt completely at ease during my trip! Will definitely use Kira again and highly recommend her!!”


“Cayla was great with our dog Lacy, she was communicative and our pup was taken care of extremely well. She watched Lacy in our home, and not only respected Lacy, but kept our home clean and was respectful which is just as important. We will gladly use Cayla again and recommend her for anyone in the area!”


“Caroline did a FANTASTIC job sitting our dogs while we were on vacation. She regularly sent pictures and updates of our two pups, which definitely put us at ease. We could tell that they were happy and well taken care of. She was also extremely understanding and accommodating when we unexpectedly had to extend for an extra day due to a flight cancellation. She kept our house tidy and even went the extra mile to wash the sheets and blankets and make the bed after her stay. Highly recommend! We will definitely be rebooking with Caroline in the future!”


“Francine did a wonderful job watching my pup while I was away. She kept me up to date throughout the stay and was very attentive to him. He absolutely loved her!! She was very respectful of my house during her stay and would highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”


“Jylesha took great care of my pets and my house. She was quick to respond when a sitter here backed out. After meeting her in person, it was clear she was perfect. She understood our hyper pup and bonded quickly with him.”


“Lene was amazing!! One of my pups is a nervous lil guy and he warmed right up to her! She was very informative and checked in! She is a definite sitter for me again. Thank you again Lene! Book her!”
