1. Rakia P.

“Rakia was great with our senior dog this weekend. She stayed with her overnight and made sure she was well cared for. I appreciated the text and pic updates!”


2. Summar L.

“Summar was great with my foster dog with separation distress on a day I needed to go to the office. She conducted a meeting the day before to meet the dog and go over the routine and any other things she should know. The day of the pet sitting, everything went smoothly. She followed the routine and sent updates with great pictures. I highly recommend Summar because she is passionate about pets, is customer oriented, and I could tell that my foster dog had made a new friend!”


3. Mark N.

“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”

6. Daniel N.

“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


7. Karachi O.


“Karachi was one of the easiest sitters we’ve ever had for our senior dog! He requires some special instructions and she followed them to a T. She left our home spotless and we returned to a very relaxed and well-taken care of pup. 10/10 would recommend Karachi for any pet care needs!”


8. Karly S.

I felt comforted by her watching him all weekend to enjoy the time away— will definitely be booking Karly again!”

Melanie has also watched my dogs for me and I can attest that she will treat your dog like her own.
