1. Destiny E.

“Destiny was the best! The pups loved her, was super communicative, and left the house spotless. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter. Will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter :)”


2. Andrew H.

“Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.”

8. Michaela A.

“Michaela was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog and my parent’s dog for a couple hours because we didn’t want to leave them unattended. She sent adorable photos of snuggles and play time with the pups. She was great to communicate with and seemed to be very comfortable around the pups right away. Would highly recommend!”


9. Jennifer R.

“We are so thankful that we found Jennifer! Not only is she highly responsive, but she was flexible when we found out we needed to change our start time at the last-minute and tack on another visit. She took great care with the instructions I provided as this was the first time we left our puppy for the night. She took her on long walks and sent pictures...It was so reassuring. She's very sweet and obviously has a great love of animals. We've already secured Jennifer for our upcoming long trip!”

12. Kimberly K.
“We have a seclusive kitty cat that’s easily scared. We were happy to have Kim come over to replenish food and water for our little boy. On the second day, he came out and greeted her, high praise! Very pleased with Kim’s help while we were away.”

15. Georgia D.
About: puppy safe home full of toys & treats Doogie door leads them out to the fenced in yard to run freely & play and then doggie beds to come in a rest when ready. I am working part time so I have plenty of time to play with and walk your fur babies. I make sure they stay on their schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for them to be able to run and play safely. In your home they will be taken care of just like if you were there.

17. Mercedes B.

“This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.”
