We have worked with Coleen a ton if times now to watch our pets, and every time has been an amazing experience. She has always given everything we asked. Tons of updates, photos, and most of all the security to be gone without worrying our pets are in good hands. We cannot recommend Coleen enough.

Naylah is grade A+ as an animal care provider and home sitter. Naylah took great care and wonderful attention to our 25 lbs beagle and 75 lbs Shepard-Lab mix in our home for 7 days. From our first meeting/interview, we felt comfortable sharing our needs and describing our dogs - the dogs were very warm and happy with Naylah and could not leave her alone : animals know how to sense out good people. Look no further if you want a smart, friendly, loving and personable animal care provider. - just don’t book her when WE need her again!

Jocelyn watched our two big dogs for a week and they all really bonded! Jocelyn sent us updates and pics of our pups daily. She was very responsive throughout the week, brought in our mail, followed the dogs’ care instructions, and left our house spotless. If you are looking for a sweet, responsible and trustworthy dog sitter I highly recommend Jocelyn!

Kyrra met Mack & he was immediately enthralled with her. She is good with dogs and you can tell that right away. She arrived ready to go and was excited to get to spend 4 days with the dog. She sent us photos that we loved & indicated they were having a good time. I arrived home to a very clean house and an exhausted dog. Those were two very good signs for me! I’m definitely inviting her back to watch Mack again. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy dog-sitter who will love on your pet while you’re away!

Will is great! My dogs are very anxious and one is special needs. He was able to administer 3 different medications with ease. He rolled with it and took excellent care. He was communicative throughout. I came home to a perfectly clean house and, more importantly, very happy and very relaxed pets. I know they were in good hands. We already have our next stay booked with Will! I would highly recommend booking with him!

Diane is amazing! Our dog Juni is really tough. She's petrified of strangers and sometimes nips. She's very slow to warm up and sometimes won't even let sitters let her outside. There have been times when she boycotted eating for days, and even when we have family watch her, she's often sick for days after we get back because of stress. Diane worked with Juni and treated her with kindness, patience, and understanding. She gave her space and even did some emotion/body coding work with her which I thought was really cool. She treated our house with respect and we returned to it spotless. I felt very safe and comfortable having her stay in our home, and I think Juni did too. She was in great spirits when we got back and she even had a great few days of eating, no stress sickness. We so appreciate Diane's willingness to work with her! In addition, she was very communicative and thorough when it came to the details/logistics of the stay, and came by in advance to meet us and Juni. I would recommend Diane to anyone.

I couldn’t be happier with how Aaron treated my puppy, Aiden! From the moment they met, it was clear Aaron has a natural connection with dogs. He was so patient, caring, and attentive to all of Aiden’s needs. I got regular updates, and it was obvious Aiden was having the time of his life. I could tell he was comfortable and happy in Aaron’s care, which gave me peace of mind. If you want someone who truly loves dogs and goes the extra mile, Aaron is your guy!

April came and stayed with our new rescue, Willow. We were apprehensive because we have never left her before and she is still crate training. April is responsive, prompt, caring, and has a strong attention to detail. Our house was left in immaculate condition and Willow is happy to see us. I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.
