“Emma was awesome!! She took amazing care of our boys while we were gone. Great communication and left the house just as it was. Would highly recommend!”
2. Kaitlyn H.
“Kaitlyn took such great care of my two dogs while we were out of town. She was a pro at meeting the needs of my senior girl. She was even willing to stay at our house so our dogs could be comfortable in their own space. Kaitlyn sent lots of photos and updates, and it was so easy to communicate with her before, during, and after her stay. I would definitely recommend her for any of your pet care needs, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was the first time we left our anxiety filled lab with a pet sitter. She can be a challenge, but Josh handled it with flying colors. Looking forward to more family trips now that we’ve found a great pet sitter.”

“We loved having Bri watch our dog! She is incredibly professional and easy to work with. She did a great job maintaining our dogs training and regular schedule while we were gone, sent great updates and left the house so incredibly clean which was so nice to come home to! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and my pup looks forward to having her back!”
5. Vickie M.
“I was so lucky to have found Vickie to sit with my two pups while I was on a long trip. I had never left my dogs with anyone before and was so nervous until I met her. She was so kind and met my pups ahead of time to make them comfortable. She was very trustworthy and I knew I could enjoy my trip knowing they were in excellent hands. I would recommend Vickie to anyone and was so thankful that she took such great care of them. She really went above and beyond and sent me updates just to see how they were doing. Thank you Vickie for everything!”

I would use her again and recommend her to anyone.”

17. Melli P.
“Melli was great dog sitting for me. My dog is sweet but difficult, with some pretty specific ways on how she needs to be handled outside, but Melli understood what she needed and did a great job handling her, keeping her safe, and keeping me informed throughout. Would hire again!”
18. Nasiya C.
About: I have a dog of my own. I potty trained her and I also taught her several tricks. She is a very active dog but it's nothing I can’t handle. I walk my dog 3-5x everyday depending on the weather. I also fill their water bowl and food bowl every morning. A few times throughout the week I go to the dog park. Everyone in my home including my dog is friendly when it comes to animals. We will treat yours like family because we are a very dog-loving family.
19. Leah R.
“Leah is an experienced pet owner to care for dogs and cats. She has cared for my grouchy old cat with love and my 4 yr old dog. She's responsible and trusting.”
20. Shaiane M.
“Shaiane has been watching my husky for over 6 months now. She is always easily accessible and sends pictures of my furry boy to show he is doing well in her care. I trust her with him and he absolutely adores her and her company when I’m away at work. She goes above and beyond for his care as if he was her own pet. I highly recommend choosing her as your sitter.”
