1. Sarah M.

“Sarah is a great sitter and we are so thankful for her support! We have two old babies and sadly got the news one of them would need to be put down the following week. She spoiled him, sent lots of pictures and even left a very sweet personalized note with her condolences. It really gave us peace of mind to have someone so thoughtful stay with them when we were really not wanting to leave. She gave meds, played with them and they took to her quickly. Will definitely rebook! ❤️”


2. Mindy K.

“Mindy was so sweet and kind! My dog who usually is aloof and takes some time to warm up to people instantly was going up to her and wanting attention! I know my babies got lots of loving while I was gone.”


3. Madeline N.


“Madeline was excellent. This was our first time getting a dog sitter. We have had experience with boarders for our previous dog and we didn’t like it so we went with a dog sitter this time! Zara was much more comfortable being home and she loved Madeline! We made sure they met a few times before our trip which Madeline was happy to do. She was very communicative, sent a lot of photos, and even took out our garbage while we were away. She made our trip even more relaxing by giving us the peace of mind about Zara! I knew our fur baby was in good hands and happy at home! We will definitely be rebooking with Madeline for any future trips”

“Kim was incredible. She took great care of my Gracie. Loved the updates she supplied. I would recommend Kim to sit for anyone. Thank you Kim!”


16. Brooke R.

“This was our first time using a house sitting service for our two dogs and we were lucky to find Brooke, she is a fantastic sitter and took such great care of our boys! I contacted Brooke kind of last minute and she made time to come over a few days before to meet our dogs and go over their needs with us. I felt very comfortable with her right away and knew we would be leaving our boys and our home in great hands. She sent lots of updates and photos, kept the house very tidy, and even spent time with our rabbit! We have a senior dog and a younger pup with boundless energy, so it was a huge relief to have someone we could trust to keep them happy and safe while we were away since they can be a handful. I will definitely be asking Brooke to sit for us again in the future!”


17. Patrick D.

“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”
