1. Kaylan T.
“Kaylan was amazing. She stayed in our home and took great care of our animals for 7 days. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She was very communicative and treated our home and pets like her own. Having her pet sit gave us such peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our time away. Thank you again, Kaylan!!”
2. Florence H.
“Flo was super communicative and very patient with our fur family. She went above and beyond to also take care of our plants in the cold. Came home to a very clean home. 😊”
3. Tyler T.
“I highly recommend Tyler's services. He has integrity and is diligent. My pups loved him and I rested easy while away knowing they were in great hands. He not only took care of my pups, but also cared for my house, including getting my packages and mail, etc. I will definitely be using his services again!”

6. Alicia R.
“Alicia was a wonderful sitter! We booked her last minute and she was so kind to come meet the pups and us the day before. She spent plenty of time at our house with our 2 dogs and cat. They were very loved and taken care of and it was easy to see in the frequent pictures and updates she sent! Highly recommend Alicia and will be using her again.”
7. Karen H.
“Karen is very professional and responsible. My Zoie is 14+ years old and a little set in her ways but Karen is so kind and gentle that I never worry about a thing. I can confidently recommend Karen to anyone and know that their fur baby will be well taken care of.”
8. Laini H.
“Laini is skilled at her craft. She is a wealth of knowledge and she provided me with some useful tips I intend on using in the future. She is simply wonderful and the care she took for Axel is unparalleled.”
9. Alicia T.
“I was apprehensive with having someone house sit for us for the first time but so thankful we found Alicia! She was so easy to work with, took amazing care of our zoo of animals (cats, dogs and chickens!), gave our dogs their meds with no issues and sent updates and pictures (which always make us feel good about our furbabies being taken care of). She went above and beyond for us, even cleaning around the house and jumping in to help when our flight got cancelled and travel delayed for 24 hours. We without a doubt will use Alicia again!! She has relieved our future of traveling and so hope our calendars align to use her again! Highly recommended from us and all our pets (anxious animal parents :) )”
10. Pierce M.
“Pierce did a fantastic job watching our dogs and cat while staying at our home. He communicated with us daily, providing updates on how the pets were doing and sending pictures. He followed the feeding instructions meticulously, ensuring the pets were well taken care of. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend Pierce to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. He did an excellent job!”
11. Mikayla H.
“Mikayla was fantastic looking after our dog, puppy, and 3 cats last minute over the weekend. She was a great companion for our pets. Our puppy is 11-13 weeks old and has a demanding schedule, Mikayla did wonderfully meeting the needs of lil Mousse. Responsive, professional, flexible with meet and greet times, and patient as we assembled our Rover profile. The pets were happy and the house was as we left it. Highly recommend and would book again for housesitting.”
12. Michael D.
“Wonderful! Took great care of my pups and always gave updates! Will definitely use again!!”
13. Allison I.
“Allison was super personable during the meet and greet and you could tell she cared for the dogs. The sitting went great and Allison took good care of our dogs and our house. Thank you!”
14. Michele W.
“Michele was great to work with. She provided the exact level of communication I was looking for. I came home to happy, safe pets. I am very grateful for her valuable care of them while I was traveling.”
15. Samantha H.
“Samantha has watched my pet for many years . She is responsible and attentive . I highly recommend her . She loves animals and will take great care of them”
16. Pam N.
“Pam was a perfect fit for Romeo and Daisy. They are timid and shy, it takes them a little while to warm up to people. Pam was patient and mindful of them. Daisy likes to keep to herself, while Romeo is more curious. By the end of Pam’s stay, they were both following her around the house like old friends! She shared several photographs with me as their friendship progressed. Romeo and Daisy even walked her to the door to say goodbye when her stay was finished. We will definitely use Pam again as our pet sitter. She is a keeper!”
17. Unique E.
“It was nice having such a loving Momma take care of my fur babies while we were out of town. My kitties really opened up to her and enjoyed their time together. Will definitely use her services again.”
18. Mark W.
“Mark was amazing with our two pups! He kept great care of our home and was very attentive to our dogs. He was extremely communicative and provided plenty of updates while we were away. He’ll be our go-to for any of our future trips!”
19. Carly L.
“Carly was so quick to respond and took great care of our two dogs! She kept us updated with pictures and we felt very comfortable with her staying at our house with them! We will definitely be rebooking her for the future!”
