“Mia did such a wonderful job with our dog. He was healthy, safe, and relaxed upon our arrival home and she communicated well. We would recommend her over and over again.”
“We booked Bryttin to stay at our home for a full week to watch our 2 rescue dogs. They both have special needs (pills, high anxiety, etc.). They both took to her right away! She did an amazing job keeping us updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind as I knew they were being well taken care of. She was very respectful to our home and it was spotless when we returned. This was especially nice after getting in later than expected after a long drive. The dogs were happy and healthy and excited to see us. We will definitely be reaching out to Bryttin again for any dog and house sitting needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”
“Our dog Duke loves Joanna! We have had such a good experience working with Joanna, and our dog and house are always well cared for. We’ve already booked our next stay!”
“Brittney is amazing! She was great with our dog and had a calm presence which helped him be comfortable. She was careful to follow our care instructions. Her communication is wonderful- she responds quickly and sends picture updates. I strongly recommend her! I would definitely trust her to take care of our dog again.”
“Mara was a great communicator and took great care of our pup while we were gone. She left our house neater than when she got here, even vacuumed and washed the sheets. Above and beyond!”
“Breanden was very good to my Mila! I opted to have him play tug and give her enrichment toys instead of going on walks as my pittie mix has a high prey drive and can be a bit to handle on walks for the average person. He made sure she had play time to help keep her content and I felt safe with him in my home! Will use again :)”
“Abbey was awesome! She stayed in our home for a weekend and took great care of our pups and house. She was very respectful and left our house exactly how we left it. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and gave updates! Abbey took great care of our pups. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely love Madeline. Gildi took to her the minute she walked in the door. She asked good questions about what Gildi likes and doesn’t like. Sent photos over the weekend. She is courteous and a very pleasant young lady. Wouldn’t have even known she stayed the night with Gildi as everything was as I left it. Thank you Madeline, I never worried once while I was at my family reunion. Will definitely call on her again.”
“Angela was amazing!! We have three cats and they don’t necessarily play nicely together. Angela gave each cat individual attention each day. Two of my cats are on a special diet that she handled with ease. One cat was sick with a skin condition while we were away and she monitored it and sent updates regularly. She was flexible with her schedule and would definitely book her in the future. PS- she also watered our plants for us!”
“Zeanna was amazing!! My pup got into some Wood chips when she wasn’t looking and got sick. She took really good care of Winnie, and washed the rug. I definitely recommend her for house stays! Thanks again, Zeanna!”
“Olivia was great to work with and took great care of our dogs. She sent us pictures of the dog throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for you dog and house sitting needs.”
“Scott was friendly, easy to work with and very flexible. He went above and beyond for our dog because he said he didn't want to leave our dog alone - that's great. He also waited late past the discussed time as well just for the dog. He provided updates as needed and was quick to communicate. He accommodates our requests with our dog and was eager to do more even. Id easily have him help with our dog again.”

Abbey was so personable when we had our meet & greet. The pups were very responsive to her so we felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She even took them on walks and spent time with them outside. The house was left in great condition also. We would definitely recommend and use her services again.
Brittney was amazing! Siegfried took to her immediately which isn’t his usual reaction when he meets new people. This was hugely comforting and made it super easy to leave him with her. I received photos while she was watching Siegfried and he looked very content. Absolutely, hugely, recommend having Brittney take care of your fuzzy kids when you are away and they can’t be with you!
We had a great experience with Wyatt as our dog sitter! He was incredibly flexible and communicative throughout the entire process, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He stayed at our home and was very respectful of our space. Most importantly, he treated our pups with so much care and attention—they were clearly comfortable and well-loved while we were gone. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Wyatt watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!
Breandan helped us with dog sitting in our home as a last minute request. He came by for a home visit first and our dog instantly seemed comfortable with him. Throughout the weekend he checked in with us, and he went above what was necessary giving Lenny all the walks and taking good care of him. We really appreciated Breandan being able to help us and would highly recommend him.
Annabel did a great job taking care of my dog! She was very prompt, thorough, and didn't require much for herself! She gave a lot of her time and efforts to provide her service to caring for my pet whenever she was available. Her availability was good in terms of only working part-time and going to school part-time. Therefore she had a lot of time on her hands to give to my pet. She did whatever I asked of her and communicated very well. I arrived to my home in the condition it was when I had left it. My dog was happy to see me and seemed to be happy, overall. So I am happy that Annabel was there to keep her company and take care of her when I was not able to. Her rates are very reasonable! She is a very humble and down to earth person, someone who you can trust and depend on. I will definitely call on Annabel again, in the future, to take care of my dog in the comfort of my home when I am away. Thank you for your services!
Scott is the best dog walker we’ve ever had— our dogs look forward to his visits & he goes above & beyond to take care of them. He is responsive, reliable and able to juggle the needs of both of our dogs, it’s so lovely to have someone we can count on. If you’re looking for an amazing dog walker or dog sitter, Scott is the best!
Katherine is great! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and a cat in our home. She is very detailed and thoughtful when it comes to the care of our boys. We appreciated the questions she asked, and the updates she gave us while we were away. Thank you once again for taking such good care of them! We would not hesitate to use Katherine again.
