1. Ella A.

“We’re thrilled with Ella's dog sitting service! This was our first time entrusting our two energetic Pomeranian pups, Smokey and Bandit, to a sitter, and Ella exceeded expectations. Her thoughtful updates with photos and videos reassured us that our fur babies were in good hands – they looked very happy! Ella even went the extra mile by washing the sheets before her departure, so sweet! We definitely recommend Ella as a dog sitter, especially for pups under 1 year. Her dog Spot is also a cutie and a very well mannered pooch! Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

We highly recommend him and will book with Darby again!”

13. Kyle A.

“Kyle was absolutely incredible!! You could tell he loved my two dogs from the beginning, and was so above and beyond following instructions, and sending me pictures. He stayed with my pups for 2 nights last minute and still accommodated a meet and greet. Thank you so much Kyle!!”


14. Max P.

“You step through the door with a whispering grace, A gentle smile, a warm embrace. Soft paws dance at the sound of your feet, A love so quiet, yet pure and sweet. By moonlight or sun, through purrs and sighs, You soothe their hearts with tender ties. A careful touch, a voice so low, A world of trust begins to grow. And though you leave when duty ends, In feline hearts, you’re more than a friend. For love lingers where kindness stays, A cat sitter’s warmth in golden rays”


15. Rachel B.

“Rachel came over to our hotel to watch our dog Butch for a couple of nights. We were very nervous about leaving him as he has separation anxiety. She was great! Understanding, great communicator, and flexible. Butch felt safe enough to abandon sitting by the door, major progress!”


16. Bliss G.

“I'm grateful Bliss was able to care for my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. Thank you so much! Will definitely hire again when I need :)”


17. Brianna N.


“Brianna was fantastic!! She took the best care of our animals, and was incredible to message with for updates. Our cat and pup clearly loved hanging with her, and she was super attentive to their needs. We hope to work with Brianna again soon!”


18. Dominique M.


“Dominique was a great cat/house/plant sitter! She was SO communicative with us while we were on vacation. She was at the house to make sure our pets felt comfortable with her and they opened up so quickly to her - rare for our cats! One of our cats, Jettie, needs medication and Dominique was able to get it to her with no problem. We came back to a clean home with happy cats. Truly, we can't wait to book with Dominique again because we have such confidence in going away with her staying at our home.”


19. Dan P.


“Dan was extremely responsive and trustworthy during this whole stay. Sending me updates about the dogs and spending a ton of time with them as well. Definitely will be using him again in the future!”


20. Tina U.

“Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️”
