She sent pictures and updates everyday and kept me up to date on how they were doing. It’s nice being able to relax, knowing our pets were so well taken care of! Hinter is our go-to for pet sitting and I’m thankful to have found her!”

“Wow Brianna was AMAZING! She stayed with Pepper a few days after her spaying and noticed an unusual symptom and was willing to rush Pepper to the vet to get checked out. She sent us lots of updates and I could tell Pepper was very well taken care of. Highly recommend, can't wait to use Brianna again!”

“Katie stayed at our house to watch our dog while we were on vacation and did a fantastic job. Katie provided daily updates and pictures and was great to work with.

7. Hannah S.
“Hannah was absolutely amazing! We left our two pups at home with her for 8 days and never once had to worry!! She is definitely a dog person and played with our puppy and loved on our older dog. I don’t even know if our dogs had a chance to miss us!”
8. Machalah M.
“Machalah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (one who is a senior) & cat while we were out of town. She regularly sent picture updates; my fur babies obviously received lots of TLC. Machalah also left the house very neat. Will definitely use Machalah’s services again.”

11. Megan K.
“Megan took care of my 3 dogs and house sat for me while we were on vacation the past 10 days. She sent me beautiful photos and I could tell my babies were being pampered and well cared for. I told her she could bring her own dog too, and the four of them became fast friends- Remy especially is gonna miss Hadley! Came home to happy dogs and a sparking clean house, everything was perfect. Megan was friendly and responsive to questions. I’d definitely book her again! If you need a fun, caring dog sitter, Megan is the one!!”

15. Sierra T.
“Sierra was an excellent pet/house sitter. She went the extra mile to make sure all of our critters were well taken care of. Photos were a plus to give us the piece of mind everything was okay. Will certainly be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Cheryle and Henry are the best! I didn’t worry at while they watched our little girl during our trip. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
17. Emilia B.
“Emilia is loving and kind to all animals, big or small! She has had dogs her entire life, and she welcomed a cat into her home a few years ago. She and her family have also fostered many dogs, so she has experience with different temperaments and special needs. She has good knowledge of how to care for pets and is dedicated to their well being. I highly recommend her!”
18. ryker m.
“Ryker did an excellent job of house sitting our little zoo for a week. He was responsive and gave us updates throughout his stay!”
19. Aelish C.
“We love when Aelish stays with our dogs. She worked hard to (successfully!) earn the trust of our anxious/timid boy and seems to be loved by our high energy girl. She also left our home cleaner than we left it! She’s our go-to when we have to travel.”
20. Hannah K.
“Hannah is an excellent doggie care giver!! I have an older dog in meds and a younger dog that involved a lot of fetch!”
