1. Colleen J.

“Colleen took great care of our 3 dogs and the house. We had a meet and greet ahead of time and reviewed the dogs' "personalities" and how a few particulars about their care should be handled. We left all of this in print for her review as well. She sent daily pics of the dogs relaxing or playing and several texts about getting to know them. She had even won our most skeptical/slow to warm dog over before we boarded our flight to leave. Highly recommend!”


2. Taryn T.

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


3. Roxanne H.

“Our anxious dog was very well cared for and loved during our absence! Roxanne communicated very well with us and left our home as if no one has been here. I recommend her and will use her services in the future.”


4. Stephanie W.

“Stephanie is amazing! My pup is anxious and requires someone who respects her needs and boundaries. I appreciate Stephanie’s dependability and trustworthiness with my high maintenance pup - she genuinely cares that Pepper gets love and care while I’m gone.”


5. Kaci M.
“Our dog can be a little anxious with new people but Kaci was so patient and let Lucy, our dog, warm up to her slowly. Thanks, Kaci! We will definitely be repeat customers!”


6. Rachel K.

“Rachel was responsive, communicative, and great at letting our shy pup warm up”


7. Elizabeth S.


“Elizabeth did a fantastic job talking care of our dog and watching our house. We hope to use her in the future. I would highly recommend Elizabeth!”


8. Kate S.



“My 2 dogs were very happy with Kate. I was able to enjoy my visit and know they were loved and cared for. She followed any instructions I left to the T.”


9. Amber D.
“Amber is a kind and caring pet owner and lover. Every animal she interacts with is met with love and respect, and usually a couple treats! Amber has been caring for animals her entire life and the rabbit, cat, and dog that live in harmony in her home is evidence of her level of care for the animals in her life.”


10. Jody L.
“Jody did a fantastic job with our dogs! Very communicative and took great care of them and our house while we were away. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”


11. Bryan S.

“Bryan was great and very responsive and friendly. He took great care of my home and dog.”


12. Kylie N.


“Kylie took wonderful care of our pug while we were out of town. He was clearly loved, treated, and snuggled in our absence! Kylie sent regular updates and photos. She is responsive and responsible. We will have to use her for any future trips. Pug approved!”


13. Abigail v.

“Abigail was amazing! She took great care of Milli and had outstanding communication.”


14. Mirette Z.

“Was timely and present with the doggos! They’re like children so all you can hope is someone will show up and love them while you’re away like you would! Will definitely use her again :)”


15. Nathan G.

“Nathan has taken care of my dog over a weekend on multiple occasions. My house is always as I left it and my dog is very happy. He was also able to help accommodate some last minute directions for taking care of my dog. I was able to enjoy my travels without worrying. I highly recommend Nathan, he is very professional.”


16. Maria N.
“I can say that he takes care of the animals as if they were babies she dedicates a lot of patience and effort to them for their care Her love for animals makes them love her very much”


17. Rylee S.

“I absolutely love me some Rylee! So attentive to my 2 Big Babies! I have referred her to another family member to house sit in a few months. I am glad I met this wonderful human! I will continue using Rylee every single time I travel. Book her before I do! Ha!!”


18. Harley E.
“Harley has done pet sitting for me on several occasions. Two of my three cats are still very fertile and don't like being around other humans!! They both warmed up to her and allowed her to pet them. If you think this sounds like nothing, you would be wrong. The cats were rescued and did not get the necessary human contact at that young age. They clearly felt safe with her. They great her when she arrives by meowing to her and rubbing up against her legs...again this seems like nothing but my cats don't warm up to other people so quickly. I wish she was still close to me so I could have her pet sit for me. She is a wonderful, caring human, and was quickly accepted into my cat pack!! I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and wonderful person.”


19. Chantelle T.

“I hesitate to say how amazing Chantelle is because I want her to always be available when I need her! But she is truly the BEST when it comes to house sitting and taking care of our furry guys. We know they are in great hands when she is with them - she sends texts and photos to update us so we don't worry about a thing. We are so grateful to have found Chantelle!”


20. Reuben R.

“Just had Reuben look after my two senior dogs, good meet and just returned home from my four day trip. Received photographs of dogs throughout trip with updates. Reuben did a great job looking after my two dogs, would not hesitate in using him again. Looked after my place as well as looking after the dogs. Highly recommend Reuben to anyone looking for walking or sitting!!!”
