“Casey was very sweet and polite. She took excellent care of all my boys. She kept in touch and sent pictures. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Our dogs are older and have known medical needs, but Jessica was not deterred from taking care of them. Unfortunately our worst fear came true and one of our dogs had a medical crisis while we were out of the country (no one’s fault, just the dog’s health declining). Jessica escalated to us and took our girl to the vet office on two separate days to get her medical care. She work with our vet and learned to give our dog new medications to manage the situation. Aside from rising to the occasion of medical crisis, Jessica sent us tons of photos and updates of all the dogs (which we greatly appreciated). It is difficult enough to find a sitter who is competent in taking care of older dogs with medical issues, but Jessica exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank her enough.”

“Kennedy is amazing ? She was wonderful with my dogs and cat. Very communicative, friendly, open, and reliable. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kennedy for loving my babies!”

“Amber was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs!! She kept us very updated with pictures and messages and even checked in with us on a potential medical issue. They both need oral medication and she was comfortable with that and made sure they had what they needed. We loved having her take care of our pups and felt confident they were safe and happy with her! We’d recommend her to any other families that need someone to love and care for their pets while they’re away!”

“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

“It is honestly hard to put into words how great an experience I had with Lois without sounding hyperbolic. She was a perfect guardian of my home, my kitties, and my anxious heart. I'd never left my kitties for even a night, and I'd never used a sitting service but was offered the chance to visit my son in the Netherlands for 3 weeks and I couldn't pass it up. I just needed to feel at peace with how I left things at home. Lois was wonderful. She came over early for a meet and greet, and it was immediately obvious she is a kind, intelligent, and gentle person. I have two cats from a horrible hoarding situation who have taken years to feel safe, and they both took to her immediately! My stray, who came to me barely weaned, took a while but even he came around (he is scared of the cars going by the house). She took notes! (Something I always wished people I trained at work would do) Lois and I chatted a bit fairly frequently via a chat app, and she always sent what she called "proof of life" pictures, all of which were so dear. (One was of the kitties waking her up one morning. Such a typical thing in my home, and its normalcy was what made it great. That, and someone just waking up having the presence of mind to grab their phone and record this little domestic scene!) In our chats, just by the way she talked about my kitties it was VERY clear she'd quickly picked up on their personalities, quirks, and needs. The very language she used talking about how they were doing made it obvious she was talking about my kitties, and not just generic kitty language. And she left my home cleaner than I left it for her. While this is not the highest bar (lol) it was so nice to come home after 3 weeks, and an entire day of travel, to a clean, sweet smelling home with clean sheets on the bed! And a bowl of grapes on the counter to snack on (yes, I mentioned grapes and string cheese in our meet and greet. She listened!) I enjoyed Lois. I enjoyed our chats over and above talking about the kitties. She was clearly comfortable and cared about guardianship of my odd, quirky little house. Coming home I would not have known someone stayed here except that my cats were just as happy, fat, and sassy as they were when I left. I would recommend Lois without reservation. I feel like I have added a person in my life that I know I can count on if I need her, and if I ever need someone to care for my kitties it is really nice to know she is there. The comfort and peace she offered while I was on my magical adventure with my son was priceless. Thank you Lois!”

“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”

Molly E.

“She does a great job, our pets are always well taken care of, and our home is always in order when we get home. This is the second time she has stayed at our home to watch our pets! Highly recommend her!”

Amber L.

“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”

Tammy W.

“Eric was great! He took great care of our snuggly beagle and our home. Chester was at ease with Eric and we could tell that he got all the treats and affection to which he is deservedly entitled. We will definitely ask Eric to sit for us again on our next trip.”

Anthony B.

“Susanna is simply wonderful at caring for my two special needs dogs. They are a lot of work, and she handles it with true consideration and love. She is calm, understanding, and experienced. I highly recommend her.”

Been very fortunate to also live in a complex with a park & plenty of space, my doggy is now 14 (ish) so her days look different than when she was a puppy. As far as my clients home I just try to stay as close I can to the routine of the animal and what’s “normal” for them and comforting them while owners are away. And maybe a few extra treats

“This girl is AMAZING!! Couldn’t recommend her more to anyone! She saved my butt and at the very last minute watched my pup! She has a super sweet and bubbly personality, and was really good with my pup! She’s great with keeping you updated and providing pictures of your animals, and was very understanding with my last minute situation. She’s left my apartment better than I left it! Seriously go with her she’s amazing!!”

“We rely on Glenn to come to our home to walk our dog when we go on trips. He is very professional and I trust him. He regularly sends photos so I know my dog’s being cared for. We lucked out as he was the first sitter we tried on Rover. We wouldn’t think of using anyone else!”
