1. Kayla F.
“Kayla was great! She was on time, easy going and send pics of my dogs while we were away. She house sat and dog sat for us for 4 days/3 nights. Highly recommend!”
2. Michael S.
“Michael was so great with my anxious dog and elderly cat. I could tell the first time we met how calm she was around him. Wonderful communication throughout the week while we were gone with texts and pics as requested. Came home to everything in place and two happy, clearly well cared for pets. He was also super considerate about our home- brought in packages, rubbish bins, and even ran a load of laundry and dishes. Very thoughtful. Highly recommend using this great pet sitter, and we plan to do so in the future ourselves.”
3. Erin M.
“Erin has taken care of my two dogs countless times and has always been extremely responsible and attentive to their needs. She has great intuition about dog behavior and can accommodate my dog’s special needs (being extremely nervous). My dogs love her like family. I never have to worry about my dogs when they’re in her hands!”
4. Raechel P.
“Raechel is one of the nicest, sweetest, caring, hardworking, honest, reliable, and all around wonderful people I have ever known. Her LOVE for animals started at a very young age. We were unable to have pets when she was younger, so she used to walk our neighbors’ dogs and spend hours playing with them as well. She also read to dogs at our local library through a program called "Paws For Reading", which allowed her to further interact with animals (especially dogs). She did eventually get a beta fish and was very excited to finally have a pet that she could love and care for. Growing up, Raechel’s LOVE for animals only increased. Once she visited a stable with a friend and while she was interacting with the horses, all of the dogs there flocked to Raechel and surrounded her; each patiently waiting for his/her turn to get hugs and rubs. Raechel has her degree in agriculture and is looking forward to obtaining her veterinary degree as well. If you love your pet (family member) and believe they deserve the best love and care you can provide, your obvious choice is future vet and AMAZING person, Raechel! p.s.(She has also adopted a very precocious and special tuxedo kitty by the name of Forrest)”
5. Jessica F.
“We HIGHLY recommend Jessica! She is so sweet and genuine, and was fantastic with communication before, during, and after our trip. She went above and beyond with our fur babies! We have a highly energetic dog and she contacted us to make sure she was doing everything possible for him. She took him on tons of walks and communicated with us about getting some new toys to calm him : ) She even went to the pet store when Amazon wasn't delivering in time. She played and cuddled with our cat as well. She left our house immaculate. We were more than happy with her care of our pets and our home - again, highly we highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to have her house sit again!! <3 <3”
6. Kyle C.
“Kyle was great with Jeffrey. Jeffrey is sick and needs a lot of care, which Kyle managed beautifully. He took good care of our home also. We would love to have Kyle back again!”
7. Christina C.
“Christina loves all animals but especially dogs. She is reliable and friendly and has an upbeat and positive attitude. She has walked, feed, and cared for my senior dog many times and I know my dog is always in good hands. I am at ease knowing she takes such good care of my Winnie.”
8. Dillon V.
“I have an energetic 4 month old puppy and Dillion was able to tire her out!”
9. Mike L.
“Mike is great with our dogs. He is reliable and always shows up on time. He took care of our older dog while we were away, and everything went really well. Our dogs like Mike a lot.”
10. Evon G.
“Evon has cared for multiple pets for years. The pets truly adore her and attach to her quickly. She is compassionate, responsible and any pet owner lucky enough to have Evon as a pet sitter can relax knowing their fur babies are in good hands. Evon is experienced in recognizing medical and common health issues as well and always puts their safety first.”
11. Andrew & Taylor P.
“Andrew is a pleasure! My furbabies were very happy having company all day. We will Definitely be using Andrew and Taylor again.”
12. Michelle A.
“Michelle clearly loves animals and goes out of her way to take care of them. Our dog was the beneficiary of multiple daily walks, and our cat, a recent rescue got lots of love and attention. Michelle is a good communicator and kept us close to our pets with timely pictures and videos. Michelle went out of her way not only to take care of our pets but to look after our home. She is conscientious and trustworthy and we look forward to engaging her again in the near future. .”
13. Jaylynn C.
“Trustworthy and professional dog sitter. She provided regular updates with photos, maintained a clean environment, and followed all care instructions. It's evident she genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Will definitely book again!"”
14. Mea D.
“Mea is the sweetest and most caring person I have ever met. Whenever I need assistance with my dog he gets so happy when he sees that he will be in her hands. She is also very responsible when it comes to time management. Mea is more than someone who wants to help assist your pets. She will give them the love and affection you would want your pet to have when your time is a bit tight.”
15. Erinn M.
“Last minute trip and Erinn responded quickly. We were delayed getting home and she came back to take care of our animals . Very responsive. Communicates regularly. Will be using her again.”
16. Stephanie G.
“Steph is Absolutely Amazing!! my young black lab Remy can be a quite a challenge and now I think she loves Steph more than me. 😄😄😄”
17. Alexandra J.
“Alex is the absolute best! My puppy, Felix, adores her for good reason. The love, care, and attention she gives dogs is amazing. It's easy to see why her puppy, Miley, is such a great dog. I couldn't recommend Alex more. 11/10.”
18. Christina Y.
“Christina has taken care of my family dog multiple times and she always shows so much love to our dog. Christina goes above and beyond to make sure our dog gets the care and attention while we are away on family trips.”
19. Karol P.
“Karol Perez has been my go to dog sitter for the past 2 years. She has such a big heart and a soft spot when it comes to animals, especially dogs. I gave her written instructions for overnight stays, and she took care of my babygirl perfectly. I am active duty military, so when I go out to sea for some weeks at a time I know I am leaving my dog in trusted hands. I would recommend her as a responsible dog caregiver.”
20. Stefanie A.
“Stephanie was outstanding. First, she met with us to ensure a good fit for our cat. She provided examples of her responsible and reliable character as well as expectations. She provided pictures and videos almost everyday as well as feedback. Truthfully, I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing she was giving my cat the love and attention he needed. She is a “cat whisperer”.”
