“Natalia was an amazing sitter for our girl Morley! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, it was so clear that Morley was having a great time on her own vacation. I highly recommend Natalia, and she will be the first person I contact when I need pet sitting in the future! Thank you Natalia! 💕”

7. Jade I.
“If you need a sitter for your pet don't look for anyone else but Jade!! She made us feel at ease with our meet and greet and is very professional. We were nervous about leaving Maisie with someone but she started sending pictures and videos almost immediately and put us right at ease. We didn't worry the whole time we were gone. Jade is our go to sitter for Maisie from now on!!!!!”
8. Phillip H.
“Phillip was agreeable to a meet up and was waiting for us with treats, which I appreciated. He communicated clearly and asked about my dog’s needs. His hours are flexible. Drop off and pick up were seamless. During my dog’s stay he messaged me the first night and by day 3 I hadn’t received any updates, so I texted him. From then on he updated me every 2-3 days unless I reached out earlier. Received a few pictures of my dog the first week, which increased after I requested more. Phillip was receptive of my requests. My dog got home in good shape.”
9. Gayle F.
“Gayle is the absolute best! She sends lots of update, pictures and videos and is very flexible with owner’s needs. My dog is so excited to see Gayle and her dog Sitka, he just runs in her house, he doesn’t even look back to say bye to me 😢🤩😊.”
10. Kaci S.
“Kaci is the best! I travel for work and personal business and unfortunately I can’t take my pup all of the time. When I know my pup is happy to go to her front door, I know she’s safe and in good hands. It’s always good for animal social interaction.”
11. Destiny S.
“Destiny, took great care of Jax while I was away. She communicated how he was doing and even sent pictures of him 💕. I will be using her when I leave town.”
12. Tess K.
“Tess did an amazing job watching my 2 pups. Their needs were met, she was super sweet and understanding and willing to do any accommodations they needed. And kept me in the loop while we were out of town.”
13. Justin C.
“Justin took great care of Gavin”
14. Jenneh W.
“From the moment Cooper trotted into her care, it was clear that Jenneh was in a league of her own. The daily updates, brimming with heartwarming snapshots, were more than just pictures; they were a window into Cooper’s joy-filled days. It was as if our furry boy had enrolled in the most nurturing of kindergartens, where the ‘teachers’ are as devoted to their charges as we are. The level of attention and care provided was unparalleled. Each photo conveyed the message that Cooper wasn’t just being watched—he was being cherished. The detailed reports, the playful moments captured on camera, and the evident bond that formed between them, all spoke volumes of her commitment. Jenneh didn’t just watch over Cooper; she elevated the very essence of pet sitting to an art form. For that, we are immeasurably grateful. Our trust was well-placed, and our hearts are full knowing that when Cooper is with her, he’s experiencing the next best thing to being home. Thank you for changing the game in pet care and for giving us peace of mind. You are, without a doubt, the best of the bests!”
15. Tawna & John P.
“Tawna and John did an excellent job watching my very anxious pup. I went out of town very last minute for three weeks, and they took great care of him and his special needs. They were very flexible about what worked best for Tazz and were aware of dog behaviors. I felt confident that he would be in great hands and was shocked at all the photos I received of Tazz hanging out with other dogs as calm as can be! Great people and great space for dogs of all needs!”
16. Sharla C.
“I just wanted to hop on here and say Sharla is amazing I needed a last minute sitter for my dog and she took her in for me for 2 days in a row, easy to talk to great service and communication my dog had a blast which I was nervous as it was her first time going to someone house she didn’t know and Sharla took her in like one of her own and treated her the same way I’ll be definitely going back and using her services.”
17. Christina G.
“Christina is wonderful and took excellent care of our dog, Dolly! We enjoyed the texted photos and videos of Dolly while we were on our trip and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well cared for!”
18. Taylor P.
“Taylor went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and entertained! Great communication and sent pictures/videos! I loved working with Taylor!”
19. Jennifer F.
“Jennifer was excellent at watching my german sheperd dog for a few days while I was out of state! She sent pictures and gave consistent updates on how my dog was doing. My dog, Ellie, had a great time and was right at home!”
20. Mady F.
“Mady was amazing. This is the first time we leave our dog with someone other than family. It was scary for us because we were leaving out of state for a few days. Mady stayed in constant communication, sent photos and updates every couple of hours. It was an amazing experience. Thank you Mady will definitely recommend her to anyone.”
