“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
“Maya and Griffin LOVE Sofia as do I! She takes excellent care of them as well as our home. Very respectful of our place, totally trustworthy, and very dependable. I'm so thankful to have her as our dog sitter.”
“Our meet and greet with Kymber and her husband Chase went great. She put us at ease and we felt confident in her ability to watch our high maintenance Golden Retriever, Rocky. Kymber took Rocky to her house to play with her 2 dogs and it felt like she was treating him like one of her own. Kymber also had to give medication to our dog and she did fine with that too. My husband and I would definitely recommend her and we will be calling her back in the future to in house sit with our boy. Kymber is sweet and was great with Rocky.”
“Teresa was fabulous! I got home after being away for 10 days, (which felt like a year!) and my home and my cats were wonderful! Although they were happy to see me, I could tell that they'd been well taken care of in my absence! I highly recommend Teresa!”
“Kristen is awesome, neighbors stopped me to comment on what a great job she did & how wonderful she was. She communicated well & gave updates & pictures. The house was immaculate. Would use again.”

“We appreciate that Lexi could come stay with our pups at our motel room while we attended a concert for a few hours. She did a great job and sent pics to us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone in/staying in the Spokane area. Thank you Lexi!”
“Ysalys was great! Animals were well taken care of, and so was our home. She was super responsive and willing to also help out with some home related things as well (putting out the trash, getting mail) that was super appreciated.”
“Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!”

Brenna is an incredible dog sitter! We have two very senior dogs and one somewhat senior dog, and she was magnificent with them. She is very caring and compassionate, relentlessly attentive to detail and truly cares about your animals. We are so grateful for her help! We cannot entrust our animals to just anyone and she was a jewel and a wonderful blessing to our family.
