This was our first time using Brianna and couldn’t be more impressed. She had great attention to details of pet care, including medicine for our dog and different types of food for our cat. She left the house tidy and well cared for. We would highly recommend her, and will definitely use her again!

Gabrielle was awesome! My 2 huskies absolutely love her. She was punctual, reliable and friendly. She sent me updates with pictures which I really appreciated. It was great to see happiness on their faces. She made me feel very comfortable being away from my dogs. I would absolutely book her again!

Scott took such great care of our two pups when we were out of town. We are so grateful we were able to book his services at the last minute. We got consistent updates on how our pups were doing while we were gone and we could tell they were nice and relaxed and were able to spend a lot of their time outside. We really hope to book his services again soon!

Erica was great! She communicated with us regularly and make us assured our 2 dogs were taken care of. There were tornados while we were gone and our dogs were very nervous. She made sure to cuddle them and make sure they felt comfortable. Erica was also very clean and our house was just as we left. We would absolutely hire Erica again.

Christina did an AMAZING job housesitting and watching our two fur children. She provided detailed information (via rover app, written notes left) and never hesitated to ask questions if she had concerns or additional questions about our dogs. She went above and beyond making sure our house was running smoothly while away for 11 days: she brought in our mail/packages, placed our garbage cans out for pickup. We will definitely use Christina again and highly recommend her!

Dogs loved Nicole and she did great with them! The dogs can be a handful with high energy, but Nicole matched their needs and spent a lot of time outside playing. We are grateful to have Nicole as a sitter and we will have her back soon!

I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our dog walker, Kraig, was absolutely fantastic—super attentive to our pup, Rusty’s needs and incredibly reliable. Communication was top-notch; we always felt in the loop with updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins. It’s clear that Kraig genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to sit & walk their dog! Thanks Again, Kraig!

Judy was fantastic taking care of our dachshund. Dachshunds require specific care to protect their spine, and lots of patience as they can be very stubborn. Judy was excellent proving Rocky the exact care he needed. She was a pleasure to work with. We are so lucky to have had her care for our fur-baby.

Emily was courteous, responsive, and took great care of our senior dog. As a senior dog he needed special care (diaper changes, carrying down stairs, etc) and she handled that wonderfully. After dogsitting in our home, she left our home just the way we left it.

Bri was great with our dogs the second she met them and during her stay in our home. She also took care of the other animals at the house, took the dogs for walks and played with them to keep them active! She sent us pictures and text message updates while we were away to ease our minds. She’s kind, respectful and loving to all animals. We will definitely be in touch for future events when we need house sitting.

Amy was wonderful with our old husky. We loved getting daily dog pictures and videos from Amy while she stayed at our home for the week. She left the house spotless and we are so grateful for her care of both our dog and home. Absolutely recommend Amy!
