1. Sophia R.

“Sophia was great! From first contact she was very responsive and easy to schedule with and continued to be very communicative. She sent daily updates and photos and it was clear that my kitties were very happy and comfortable with her. One of my cats is particularly shy, so when I received photos of him head butting her on day 2, I was really able to relax :). We arrived home to a clean home and 2 kitties who were very happy to see us and were clearly loved and well taken care of while we were gone!”


2. Vanessa A.

“Vanessa treated our pup and home as if they were her own. Our place was spotless! We are so happy to have found her and feel so comfortable leaving our girl in her hands again. Thank you so much, Vanessa!”


3. Omar L.

“Omar was fantastic! He communicated very well and my wife and I felt very comfortable while away knowing he was with the dogs. He was easy to work with and was willing to go above and beyond while we were away. Will definitely be booking in the future.”


4. Jesse M.

“Thanks for taking care of Baby Bear! 😸”


5. Cassidy C.

“Cassidy is an absolutely delightful caregiver! She was so responsive, and very diligent with keeping up with our puppy’s potty schedule. She was even able to make a connection with our elderly cat who is typically very shy. Our house looks better than we left it too! I can’t recommend her enough and I look forward to her staying with my babies in the future.”


6. Charlotte P.

“Charlotte took good care of our 9 years young, baby dog. He needed a special bath, medicines and ear drops during as part of his care taking. He was well fed and loved. I think they both became good friends while we were gone. She kept us updated with cute photos of them walking and hanging out together.”


7. Will D.

“Helped in a pinch when I had to leave town overnight for work. Will pitched in with very little notice and my boys were thrilled to see him.”


8. Amanda A.

“Amanda was awesome! Our pups loved her and we felt very comfortable leaving them with her. Handled unexpected thunderstorm with our anxious dog very well!”


9. Katherine W.
“Katie is wonderful with animals! Not only does she genuinely enjoy them, she is a caring and attentive. Could not recommend her more. She has watched my pet before and I have watched her while she has cared for other people’s pets. Your pet is in great hands with Katie!”


10. Alexa B.

“Alexa was a great dog/house sitter. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and the house looked great when we returned, and most importantly, our dog seemed happy and healthy!”


11. Abigail V.

“Once again Abby was incredible! I will definitely book with her again. The kitties are happy when I come home and the house is left spic & span :)”


12. Sarah H.

“Sarah was incredible. She watched our seven year old dachshund mix Nestlie on our wedding day and it was SUCH a relief knowing that Nestlie was in Sarah’s hands the whole afternoon and evening. She even came to pick Nestlie up at our wedding venue after we were done taking photos and then took her back to our apartment to hang with her the whole evening. Nestlie can be a little nervous and isn’t great around other dogs, but Sarah came to meet Nestlie a few weeks before she would be watching her and they got to know each other and all of Nestlie’s quirks! We would have her watch Nestlie again in a heartbeat!”


13. Liz C.

“Liz went above and beyond taking care of our two young dogs (including one young puppy) in our home. We’d gladly have her care for them again.”


14. Hannah R.

“Hannah is amazing and took such great care of my pets (dog and cat) and also the house and everything! She's a complete professional - very communicative, trustworthy and dependable and I will absolutely use her again to care for my pets. And, she also sent the cutest photos of the pets while I was out of the country, which I loved so much!”




15. Laura W.

“Laura was great with our rambunctious puppy and we will not hesitate to use her in the future”
16. Danielle P.

“Danielle was a pleasure to work with! She took care of our two year old border collie Luna for a week in our home, giving her plenty of attention and belly rubs. She was easy to communicate with and Luna loved her. I would recommend her services!”


17. jordyn w.
About: I started as an intern at an animal hospital and then later on became one of their hardworking employees! I always go above and beyond to make sure the animals there are comfortable and happy! So i'd happily say I have much experience with working with animals :) Im currently working part time at an animal hospital so I can definitely make time to attend to your pets needs! i’d be more than happy to help out and take care of your pet :) My home currently is not allowed any other animals inside especially since we have many cats that are shy and super sensitive to new animals, but that doesn’t mean I can always come to you and your home to petsit/walk your fuzzy little friends :)


18. Penfil P.
“Penfil rescued his dog Blake when he was just 2 months old. Penfil has always been great with dogs and is very caring of them and you can tell he truly cares for animals.”


19. Lauren B.

“Lauren took great care of the house and Greta. She was very communicative and a pleasure to talk to. We very much appreciate her time, efforts, and advice”




20. Ashley H.

“Ashley took great care of our lab. She brought her to run off leash and played and walked her every day. She stayed in our house and left it in superb condition. She was quick with responses and stayed in constant contact. I felt very confident leaving our pup with her, and will use her in the future.”
