“Cassidy was a stellar sitter for my two cats! We were gone for 10 days which was the longest in a while that they’d been on their own and we came back to very happy, well-taken-care-of buddies, even our stand-offish diva cat who only came out a few times for her. Cassidy’s daily updates were sweet and thorough and she even let us know about a small issue with the house. Absolutely wonderful experience!”

18. Stephanie P.
“Steph is an INCREDIBLE dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make sure my new puppy had an amazing first week adjusting to his new routine. She was so patient with Ozzy and Ozzy very clearly loved his time with Steph. Steph even gave me training tips and provided very detailed updates after each visit- pictures and videos included! She understands dogs on a deep level and knows how to connect with them instantly. She also made sure my apartment was left even better than she found it and even contacted me when she realized there was a leak in my apartment! She went above the normal expectations of a dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Steph for all your dog sitting needs!”
19. Janet M.
“I can’t say enough good things about Janet! She has been an incredible blessing for my dog, Ash. While I'm at work, I know Ash is in the best hands. Janet is not only reliable and punctual but also genuinely loves dogs. Ash always comes home happy and well-exercised after his walks. What impresses me most is the personalized attention and care Ash receives. Janet takes the time to understand Ash's personality and needs, ensuring each walk is enjoyable and safe. I receive regular updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, caring, and passionate about dogs, look no further! I highly recommend Janet to anyone in need of a fantastic dog walker.”
