1. Elijah Gipe B.

“Aliyah knocked it out of the park!!!! I have an anxious girl who can be protective with some real "stranger danger" and was worried about finding a dog sitter who could form a bond with my girl to allow me to go out of town to visit relatives. Aliyah approached her in an unassuming demeanor and after a brief meet & greet, I was able to leave them alone to fetch ball and get to know each other. Aliyah agreed to make a 2nd trip to my house before I left town for a "test drive" to make sure things would go smoothly when I actually had to leave town. They formed a bond at that point and I left town a couple days later and my girl was wagging her tail & following Aliyah around on the first night. She cuddled up in bed with Aliyah and everything went AWESOME. She exceeded all expectations, I felt totally comfortable, and will definitely ask Aliyah to dogsit for me in the future. She sent me tons of pictures and stayed in regular contact with me throughout the stay. THANK YOU for giving me peace of mind and taking such good care of my timid anxious furbaby <3”


2. Victoria & Jacob K.

“Tori was excellent with Rallie. Looking forward to future sitting visits.”


3. Jane M.

“Our dog Max loves when Jane is his dog sitter! She always sends us updates and pictures while we are away. We are able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about our pup when she is staying with him. She is the best and we are so thankful for her!!”


4. Mitzi C.

“It was a pleasure to have Mitzi pet sit at our house. It is obvious that she loves animals and they were very comfortable around her. Mitzi kept us updated with text and pictures all weekend. We would definitely ask her again in the future and trust her with our furry family!”


5. Saren C.

“Saren is a lovely and kind person. She took great care of my elderly dog and my goofy puppy. Dogs were happy and my house was spotless when I got home. I will definitely ask her to watch the boys again”


6. Kaitlyn N.

“Kaitlyn sends daily photos of my pup Betti lounging, cuddling, and sunning. In other words, content. I had a stressful time getting home with several delayed flights and missed connections. Kaitlyn was understanding and supportive and stayed beyond the original booking time to ensure Betti was okay.”


7. Meredith H.

“If you are looking for someone to love your pets the way you do, then Meredith is perfect for you! We had her for a meet and greet and both dogs AND cat loved her ! I left written instructions and went over them with her beforehand and she followed everything perfectly! She is reliable, and has no problem reaching out with questions, and we are thankful to have found her.”


8. Jessica W.


“Jessica is amazing - she was able to roll with some weird stuff that came up and helped me out a TON! I have already booked her for my next trips!”


9. Reyna M.

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”


10. Alexandra L.

“Alexandra was a SAINT! I have a Pom puppy with bad separation anxiety but Alexandra took spectacular care of her and Margot had a great time. She took great care of her, left the apartment as she found it, and even changed the sheets on the bed since I was getting home late. My neighbors texted me to let me know she was doing a great job and thought she was super nice. I’ll 100% be rebooking the next time I have to go out of town— thank you so much for loving my baby like one of your own!”


11. Alyson H.

“Alyson did absolutely great with my dog Louie. She’s definitely made Louie feel really comfortable. I enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout caring for my Louie. Will definitely book again.”

13. Caitlyn P.
“Caitlyn is a wonderful pet sitter. She’s been watching pets for many years! She has a watched my pets before and I would trust her with them anytime. It doesn’t matter who’s fur baby she is watching but you can guarantee they’ll be taken care of like they’re her own.”


14. Willow S.

“Willow was great with our greyhounds. We booked Willow to watch our pets for the day while we were out for an extended period of time. He was flexible with arrival /departure times, attentive to instructions and his calm demeanor was exactly what our two needed. We will be calling on Willow in the future to watch them again when the need arises.”


15. Shannon W.

“Wow. Shannon is wonderful. She is a professional pet sitter who is caring, thoughtful, and empathetic towards your fur babies. I can’t say enough positive things about her and how she cared for my 3 pets. She does work in a pet clinic and it shows in her care of your fur babies. She also took care of my house and treated it with the same respect that she would her own. I highly recommend her.”
