“Great dog sitter/house sitter! Lauren went above and beyond what we could have hoped for, she looked after our plants, and vacuumed before we got home, on top of caring for our dog! She’s great, very communicative, and a great all around dog/house sitter!! Will definitely use her services again!”


“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”


“Wow, Noa was an amazing sitter for our little guy, sharing very thorough and thoughtful updates! She is very personable, anticipated the needs of our little one, and went above & beyond to make sure he was okay and felt comfortable! We will definitely be asking Noa back to hang with our pup in the future!! ❤️”

“Claudia was great with my dog Kudo! She was really communicative and gave me great updates with lots of pictures which we appreciated. My dog is a bit high maintenance because he’s diabetic and needs insulin shots twice a day, and Claudia was willing to learn how to give him his shots and everything went very smoothly!”


“Quanece was great with my 4 month old puppy, J’Rome! She’s patient and well experienced. She sent lots of updates and picture/videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend!”


“Dan and Alicia were absolutely wonderful with my dog Toby while I was away for a week. They sent daily updates with pictures and details on how Toby was doing. They took extra care of her needs and I can tell Toby really loved them and had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking them for my next vacay!!!”


“Bethany was fantastic ! She was super communicative, sent pictures, and took good care out of home. Our dogs were very happy when we got home and were clearly well taken care of.”


“Ari was so incredibly wonderful! She was polite, kind, taking great care of our dog and guinea pigs while we were away. She was very communicative, just the best!! Highly recommend.”


“Areana was great! She was very attentive to my instructions and took care of my babies very well. She kept me updated and was great with the communication before and during the visit. I’ll be happy to book her again!”


“Abigail did an amazing job with our two dogs. Our dogs are slow to warm up to strangers and we booked a bit last minute but she still took the time to do a pre-meeting which was extremely helpful. Abigail was very responsive and made the entire process so easy, and of course was great with the dogs. When one of our dog’s had bad stool, she checked in to let us know and cooked some rice to settle his stomach. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again next time we have to leave town. 5/5 stars without a doubt!”


“Leah was great with Coco during house sitting. She sent regular updates, made sure that Coco has his usual sleep- wake and eating schedule. I would definitely recommend using her services for your pet. Thanks Leah!!”


“Dominique is honestly the best ❤️, extremely communicative and highly dependable. My dog would probably betray me for her if given the choice, super thankful to have found someone that cares about Finn as much as I do.”


“Alexandra took such great care of my baby! She sent regular updates and photos and videos. My cat is shy, and she felt so safe with Alexandra that she really came out of her shell. I highly recommend her care for your pets! ❤️”



“Katrina was incredible. She went above and beyond and I was able to travel out of the country without being worried about my dog at home. She was incredibly communicative and responsive and took such good care of my dog and was incredibly respectful of my home as well.”


“Pat was a great fit for our dog Shadow. Shadow is a rescue who can be a bit anxious at times but he warmed up to Pat quite quickly. Through Pat's frequent updates via messages and photos, we knew Shadow was well taken care of.”


“Hope did a wonderful job watching our pups. She’s attentive and kept us updated throughout us being away. She also sent photos of the pups frequently which we appreciated. Highly recommend Hope and will use her again!”



“Erika has watched our dogs 3 times and has done a wonderful job each time. She is great about sending pictures while we are away. We will continue to use her in the future and would definitely recommend her.”
