1. Hannah J.


“Hannah was EXCELLENT with both of my dogs. One is a rescue who is very fearful of new people, however, she wasn’t afraid of Hannah at all. They got along wonderfully and my dog sat on her lap within a few hours together and I quickly got a photo of them cuddling together. Hannah also did great with my older dog who is at the end of life. Both dogs were happy and unphased when I returned home. I would 100% recommend Hannah and plan to book with her again!”


2. Jordan K.
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! He took care of Sloan (my dog) as if he was his own. This is something I look for as Sloan is the most important thing to me. Jordan is gentle, reliable and efficient. It's very obvious he's a big animal lover. Highly recommend!”


3. Maciyah D.

“I can't say enough good things about Maciyah! She took care of my dog Vader and did an absolutely amazing job. From the moment I booked her, her communication was top-notch. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending plenty of pictures and videos. Maciyah’s genuine love for dogs really stood out. I felt completely at ease knowing Vader was in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her again.”


4. Randi K.

“We loved having Erin come take care of Nina. She came over to meet Nina beforehand, handled the list of medicines our dog needs, and was responsive to photo requests while we were out! Thanks again.”


6. Chloee P.

“Chloee was amazing! She kept me up to date multiple times daily, walked my dog despite her being very very slow, and made sure all my pets meds were given on time and accurately! I felt very comfortable the whole time I was away (which is rare) and came back to happy pets and a clean house!”

9. Ashton B.
“Ashton is a phenomenal, caring pet sitter. She’s trustworthy, communicative and will care for your pets and home. She watched our 3 cars and dog when we went on a last minute trip over spring break. Delighted she was available and willing to stay in our house for 6 nights/7 days. Home was clean and tidy, she went above and beyond to ensure kitchen was clean, bedding removed from the bed, and the house was locked up. Felt completely safe with her, and know our pets loved her based on the photos she shared daily. Highly recommend!”

13. Kayla V.

“Kayla was awesome. She took great care of our two cats and our house. She’s a good communicator and and kept us informed during her stay.

15. Erica T.

“Erica took great care of Charlie while we were on a family vacation out of state! The photos she sent truly showed just how comfortable he was with her!”


16. Stefania V.
“Stefania is my childhood friend and I cannot emphasize enough the strong connection she has with animals, specially with dogs. She was raised in a household where dogs are an important part of the family so she has a lot of experience taking care of them. She’s very empathetic and loves making friends with any dog she sees so dogs on the streets follow her, and those of friends and family love hanging out with her the most. She treats all the dogs as if they were her own and she’s the favorite of all the dogs she gets to meet!!”


17. Erik M.
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”


18. Dalonna B.

“she did great with him!, i would’ve loved to see more pictures throughout her time with him. but overall great experience!”


19. Natasha R.
“Natasha is AMAZING! She has watched my cat numerous times when I had to travel for work and when I was on vacation. Her understanding of the complexities of cat behavior is truly remarkable. My cat is quite temperamental, hard to read, and always stressed when I am away. Natasha has always managed to handle her to the point that now my cat has really taken to her-something that does not happen often! Highly highly recommend Natasha for your pet care needs!”
