6. Madison L.
“Madison was able to stop by with less than 48 hours notice to take care of my two puppies during our night out. She did a great job and they were so content when we got home!”
7. Barbara R.

8. Andrew P.
“Andrew is the best. We’ve been fortunate enough to be able to book him on several occasions. He is great with communication, fabulous with our pets and al trustworthy. We feel so blessed to have him.”
9. Diana V.
“Diana was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! Our dog is older, very anxious with new people, and takes several medications. Diana put her at ease, and handled her so well that we had no worries while we were away. Our cat is a super chill boy, who loved his time with Diana. Diana sent many great pictures and updates so that we could rest easy during our trip. It is so rare that we find someone to care for our pup who she can actually relax around, and we are so happy to have found Diana. We will definitely be using her services again!”
10. Corinne C.
“I can't say enough great things about Corrie! She is super professional and responsive. She provided drop-in visits for my cat, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who is usually shy around new people (and quite frankly a danger to society), quickly warmed up to Corrie, which truly speaks volumes. If you're looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring sitter…Corrie checks all the boxes :-)”
11. Ava M.
“Hahahaa your review made me laugh. Chino is my sweet baby boy. He’s not really a baby anymore, more like a mischievous teenager haha! I’m happy you caught him! Thank you for that! And thank you soooo much for helping with Daisy on such short notice. I’m sure you made her night.”
12. Megan W.
“Megan was absolutely amazing with my cat Frankie! Not only did she follow all of his instructions, but she went above and beyond to do extra, including stay for longer scheduled visits than I had booked, solely because I had expressed Frankie’s need for a little extra company at night. Megan is attentive, caring, a quick responder, and overall an amazing sitter. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Frankie says thank you too :)”
13. Taylor C.
“I always trust Taylor to take good care of our Boo Boo. She is so communicative, always sends a bunch of pictures and I can tell Boo is super comfortable with her.”
14. Amy B.
“Amy and her husband did a wonderful job watching our 2 pups while we were gone! I *really* appreciated the notes and photos after each visit. I know my pups appreciated the company and playtime. :)”
15. Nicholas M.
“Nick is a wonderful dog dad of two mini doodles (Phoebe & Cali). He works from home so he is with them almost every day, taking them on multiple walks, down to the community beach to run around, or even the dog park when it’s a nice day. He makes sure that they get their exercise, socialization, and overall love every day! He will definitely do the same in taking care of your dogs, whether it’s for 30 minutes or multiple days. Nick is someone your dogs will love and someone that you can rely on. :)”
16. Madison A.
“Madison was able to watch my cat Frankie on short notice and the week of a holiday! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to care for him. She kept me updated with consistent communication and pictures, as well. I will be booking with Madison again :)”
17. Nicole R.
“Nicole is fantastic, very thankful for her help. Will definitely be a repeat customer”
18. Christina S.
“Christina is a true gem! Had to change trip plans last minute, and she was so accommodating. She goes above and beyond for all pets, and my animals seem to be bummed that she’s finished pet sitting when I get back lol. I recommend Christina 10000% and would trust any fur baby with her! Thank you for everything Christina!”
19. Jessica A.
“I highly recommend Jessica! She has a strong sense of urgency while remaining calm, cool and collected. She is trustworthy and dependable and super friendly!”
20. Maddi S.
“Maddi was amazing! She checked in on our dogs every day for a week and was always communicative and punctual. She did a great Rover card every time and went the extra mile to cuddle with the dogs when it was too hot to play outside. We love Maddi and highly recommend her!”
