1. Amy Y.
“Amy did an excellent job watching our dog Buddy and our home. She was very thoughtful with her questions during the meet and greet and very responsive throughout. Our house looked great when we got home. I would highly recommend”
2. Jackiellen B.
“Jackiellen has been perfect for us every step of the way! She's an excellent communicator, flexible and accommodating, kind and considerate. She made the whole process super easy and worry-free. And maybe most importantly, she has a very natural connection with our dog and cat, from the first moments they met. We felt super confident leaving our animals in her care and will absolutely call her again. She asked good questions to be sure she was clear on everything needed. She took great photos and sent just the right amount of updates while we were away. She took great care of our home, leaving it even neater than she found it. Honestly, I can't recommend Jackiellen enough.”
3. Sydney B.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!”
4. Jackie P.
“Jackie was fantastic. Super communicative and excited to hang out with our pups. She took them on long walks to the beach and sent us many updates. Would definitely hire her again! In fact we already have another few days booked with her!”
5. Ayreal Z.
“Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”

7. Stephanie J.
“Stephanie was very responsive to any questions, and best of all the animals were all very calm when we got home. They usually are overly excited when we return from a trip so this was a relief. We feel she did a great job of looking after our 2 cats and dog.”
8. Abby J.
“I'm so glad I found Abby to watch my dog, she is absolutely the best! My dog is very shy and he warmed up to Abby instantly. He had so much fun playing and cuddling up with her and going for fun walks on the trail. I felt so much more at ease on my overnight knowing he was under Abby's care. She is gifted with animals and a wonderful person and I give her my highest recommendation <3”

18. Samantha V.
“My husband, Tom, and I thought Sam was a very smart, kind, thoughtful, and a calm and experienced dog sitter. We would definitely have her, and her sweet golden retriever, Penney, stay her with our dog, Lola, again. We could tell Sam was very used to animals, she was attentive to Lola (she is a puppy), and while Sam was here watching her, Lola had no accidents. Sam brought some old toys with her for Lola to play with, which Were enjoyed. Sam also kept up Lola’s training which we really appreciated. We also loved getting updates and photos from Sam. She stayed at our home, and before we left, she came over twice to visit. She also offered to water the flowers on our porch and window boxes, and that was so helpful. Sam will be at the top of our list for watching Lola next time we are out-of-town. I would not hesitate to leave my dog or cat with her, or have her stay at my home again, she’s the best!”
19. Kevin C.
“Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of Arthur at our home for a week. Great constant updates and responsive communication, plus the house looked great when we came home!”
20. Hedda C.
“As a guide dog user I am extremely picky about who I allow to take care of my dog. I felt entirely comfortable leaving my guide dog with Hedda for a week this past August. She was attentive to the instructions I provided around care and behavior management and the specific commands that he responds to. After a week I picked up a happy healthy dog and would not hesitate to utilizer her again for dog care.”
