1. Kaycee P.

“Kaycee gave my fur baby so much love and was fantastic about walking him. Jax loved it and loves her—you can tell she loves fur babies! Kaycee is dependable, trustworthy and kept me updated with cute pictures of Jax on his walks and at home. I was always excited to check my phone. Thank you, Kaycee and I’ll definitely use you again! Jax misses you already😊😊😊”




2. Margaret L.


“Maggie proved to be an outstanding choice for our weekend dog-sitting needs. She maintained open communication, kept Winnie engaged, and shared regular photo updates. Before the scheduled stay, Maggie proactively inquired about Winnie's schedule and medical history. Staying at our apartment, she went the extra mile by tidying up, even starting the dishwasher before departure. I would certainly recommend Maggie and look forward to utilizing her services again.”


3. Monica L.


“Monica was very accommodating to our special requests and spent lots of time at our house with the pets. She sent lots of pics and messages to let’s know all was good. She took great care of our Saint Bernard, cat, and house. We will definitely be using her again for future trips!”


4. Kelly S.

“We had Kelly house sit for us while we were on vacation (5 days), our two larger dogs (#65 and #100) love her! She definitely cares about them and it makes travelling easier knowing that your pets are in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again.”


5. Kristina F.

“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”


6. Anna K.

“Anna was great! Our pets were well taken care of and she was respectful of our home. She sent us photos as requested too. Will definitely book with her again.”


7. Lisa R.

“She is AMAZING!! She did good care of my picky and tricky dog. She is really great at communication and kind on every questions that I asked her.”


8. Selena R.

“Selena was communicative and sent several pictures of our pets while we were away. She was very sweet and took great care of our dogs, making sure they were happy and well-fed. We came home to clean and content pets, and it was clear that Selena went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable. We highly recommend her services and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


9. Byron C.

“Byron was great to my two dogs. I’m especially surprised at how well my girl dog liked him because she doesn’t normally warm up to men. But he has a way with dogs to make them feel safe and loved even from their first meet. I was gone for 4 days and Byron stayed at my house. He was polite, respectful and amazing to my doggies. He sent me pics and videos and I could clearly see how happy they were. Byron is great at communicating and helping out in any way possible. We will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks Byron for taking such good care of my babies.”


10. Evelyn M.

“Evelyn did an outstanding job managing my high energy german shorthaired pointer puppy as well as my 14 year old pointer. Quick to respond to messages, great at communicating and keeping me updated. Would definitely book again, very reliable. Also, we came home to a drawing of our two dogs which made us laugh, perfect depiction of our dog’s personalities! We just loved-will frame!”


11. Kristina J.
“Kristina has excellent skill and demeanor when caring for elderly animals in my case, dogs. Super senior dogs, even in good health, tend to have super specific needs. Kristina is quick to learn these nuances and frankly I've learned from them. lol. If you're on the fence with selecting a pet sitter, please don't hesitate to select Kristina. Aside from the mentioned above, she is professional and reliable.”


12. Rachel W.
“Rachel has done an excellent job watching after Moose. She kept him engaged and sent multiple pictures to me during his stay. I highly recommend Rachel.”


13. Kimberly O.

“Kimberly is the best! I didn't want to board our dogs because our older dog is very anxious and is getting older, and I thought the best thing would be to have someone stay at our home with our dogs. I was a little apprehensive, but as soon as I met Kimberly I knew I didn't need to worry. We have two crazy boxers and she kept them busy and entertained all weekend (I'm not even sure they care that we were gone lol) She gave our older pup her medicine and just really cared for them like they were her own. She also sent us multiple photos of them so we could see they were doing well and having fun:) It was so nice to not have to worry about them during our vacation. We will most definitely use her again when we go on another vacation!”


14. Mara M.
About: I’ve pet-sitted many times for friends and family and will make sure your pet is loved and cared for in a fun and safe environment. Along with being the proud mother to two human babies, I also have a 12yr old golden retriever named Tripp. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule to be readily available based on customer needs. Location and distance will need to be factored. My HOA does not allow a fenced in yard so all potty breaks are supervised and on leash if needed. Would prefer to pet sit in home owners residence.




15. Scott R.

“Scott was amazing. I appreciated he arrived on time and was attentive to details. I am looking forward to working with him again.”


16. Shannon P.

“Shannon is great! We had her stay with our two dogs while we were out of town and we came home to happy dudes. Will absolutely book with her again.”


17. Jody A.

“Thanks again for your help with Brigi; she enjoyed your time together!!”

“Amy was a perfect dog sitter! We came home to a clean house and relaxed dogs :-)”
