1. Shera D.

“This was our second time having Shera pet sit and we felt confident in her to keep our two young Golden Retrievers happy and healthy while we were away for the day. We appreciate that she works with them on some training to reinforce good habits and avoid picking up bad behaviors. Shera has a good way with the dogs and they adore her. We'll definitely try to book more stays.”


2. Dustin W.

“Dustin is very communicative, always supportive of our dog’s needs, and keeps us informed. We have one special-needs dog (insulin injections), and one very energetic two year old. Dustin found his groove with them both. We came home to two very well-loved dogs and couldn’t be happier.”


3. Elizabeth B.

“Liz did such a great job taking care of our dog Sully. She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and I could tell right away our pup would be in good hands. She made sure to give us daily updates and was super flexible with short notice scheduling changes. Thanks Liz!”


4. Dayja R.

“Dayja was great! She house sat and watched our dogs for us. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We will definitely book her in the future!”


5. Alyssa A.

“This was my second time having Alyssa watch my dog and it was fantastic! I was gone for an entire week and without her I’m sure his separation anxiety would’ve been pretty bad. She took him for walks and adventures daily, always sent updates and photos of their activities, and when she dropped him at my house, he was so sad to see her go that he pawed at the door because he missed her! Seriously recommend Alyssa!”


6. Christina S.

“Christina is a 10/10 babysitter she provides photos and updates throughout the day, great communication and kind. We would rehire her in a heart beat!”


7. Shannon O.

“Shannon was amazing with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Maggie ( as well as our guinea pigs and fish). Maggie lived her best life while were away for over a week. It's apparent that Shannon adores animals. She quickly learned all of Maggies favorite spots to be petted, took her on multiple walks each day, and showered her with love and affection. We loved the picture updates of Maggie snuggled in Shannon's arms. It is such a gift to be able to leave and know that Maggie is well cared for and loved while we are away. You can tell Shannon enjoys what she does and cares for our furry family members like they are her own. Thank you!”


8. Brenna K.

“We contacted Brenna because of her ability to be home most of the day in order to give our dog his heart meds while we were gone for 5 nights. It’s hard to find house/pet sitters with that kind of availability. She gave us daily updates on the pups and took good care of them as well as out home.”


9. Jordan B.

“Jordan cuddled with my old gal and spoiled her with more walks than she normally gets! He was responsive, sent photos, and she was healthy and happy when I got home.”


10. Olivia C.

“Olivia was wonderful, she sent us updates on our sweet dog and left the house looking amazing, we look forward to having her watch our dog again soon!”


11. Matthew D.

“Matt is incredible! He communicated frequently while we were away, left our house cleaner than when we left, shampooed our dog the day we came home, bought her a toy, framed a cute picture of our dog and had a delicious treat for US when we arrived home.”


12. Melinda L.


“Melinda came in clutch for a last minute job for us. She was great at communicating, sent pictures and our house was spotless when we got home. Would definitely use her again!”


13. Natalee Z.
“"I recently hired Natalee to walk my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the service. They are punctual, friendly, and truly care about my dog's well-being. My dog always comes back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Natalee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!"”


14. Holly C.

“Wow! What can I say about Holly! We absolutely love her and so do our dogs. She did a great job with the dogs and had a great connection with them. We will definitely use Holly's services again!”


15. Erika A.


“Erika was the best. It was my first time leaving Burton with a sitter. She sent me updates via text and was very kind and caring. I would request her again when I visit the area again.”


16. Karyn S.

“Karyn Is puppy was everything we were looking for and more. Attuned to dogs and people (and kids too!), responsible, kind. It was easy leaving our pup as well as our house under her care. So grateful! We will be reaching out again. 🙏❤️🐶”


17. Hollie S.
“Hollie has pet sit for us multiple times while we were out of town. She has always done a wonderful job! Besides taking great care of our dog, she has always left our home clean and tidy. I highly recommend Hollie and will be using her again in the future!”


18. Katherine C.

“Our very senior dog is always in a good mood after a dog sitting session with Kat. She’s very communicative with us and we could not be happier!”




19. Carrie B.

“Carrie is amazing. She cared so well for our pup while we were away for a work trip. She was so attentive and sweet to him. Even neighbors who saw her out on walks with our dog, commented on how great she was with him and inquired about booking her services. I would not hesitate to book Carrie again, and in fact have already reached out. We hope to make Carrie a regular addition to our dog’s life as he loves her so much. Also, when we returned, we found our place to be clean and well kept. Carrie is a true professional and an absolute gem. Only the luckiest of pets get to be cared for by Carrie!!!!”


20. Hannah B.

“This is long overdue. Hannah was very reliable and took great care of our two energetic pups while we were away. They absolutely loved her. She constantly updated us which puts our mind at ease while we were away on vacation. She is highly recommended.”
