“Allie did a great job taking care of our shy little Maggie. It is obvious she is very caring in the much appreciated pictures and updates she sent while staying with pittie. Our house even seemed cleaner when we returned than when we left! We look forward to booking Allie again soon!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter! Cedell truly went above and beyond for our girl making sure that it was normal routine, although we were gone for over a week, and sent tons of daily updates through video and lots of pictures as well. She also left the house very clean for us to come back to after our vacation. THANK YOU Cedell! We can’t wait to use her again in the future 😊”
“Allison is a fabulous Pet Sitter. Lacey and Loislane just love when Allison comes to pet sit for them. She gives them lots of love and attention. I get lots of pictures as well. Allison is trustworthy and reliable. If you are looking for peace of mind when having to leave your pets, I recommend Allison for the job”
“Bryce had great communication, and he was able to sit for us on short notice. He took great care of our fat cat, Kevin, and he left our home in great condition. Kevin expressed that while he was generally extremely displeased at our absence, would tolerate another visit from Bryce, and he would even consider sitting by Bryce at a comfortable distance.”
“Hannah was so sweet with our 3 pups! You can tell she treats others pets the way she would her own. She is amazing with communication! We will DEFINITELY be using her skills again!”
“It was so great to have Alan staying at our house with our animals while we were out of town. It was nice to get daily updates and photos to see how everyone was doing. He took excellent care of our pets and our home and we will absolutely use him again next time we go out of town. You can’t go wrong with Alan when choosing a pet/house sitter.”
“Maria is an absolute delight!! She took such amazing care of our little Renzo. She kept in touch with me and sent pictures of our little pup. Renzo doesn’t warm up to people very easily but he bonded with Maria within minutes. She is so caring and gentle. We were so pleased with Maria’s exceptional service! Thank you!!!”
“Cindy is a fantastic sitter and we have tremendous peace of mind knowing our furrball Gus is in good hands. We will definitely continue having Cindy sit for Gus and highly recommend her :)”
“Ro is exactly what we weee looking for! Treated our crazy fur babies as if they were her own. Lots of love and attention with pics and videos. We will definitely keep her as our go to person sitter 🐾☀️”
“Leslie is truly the best pet sitter out there! She is 100% reliable and has been nothing but amazing every time she has watched my fur babies. I completely trust her to give my animals the best care possible and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an exceptional pet sitter!!”
“Cassady is great! Very kind, punctual and keeps you informed as to when she’s on her way. Sent a photo a my Lilo while she was watching her. I’m definitely scheduling Cassady for another date with Lilo!”
“We had Megan house sit with our two dogs for a short weekend getaway and have nothing but positive things to say! We enjoyed the daily photos and the updates on how the dogs were doing. It was wonderful knowing Megan was taking great care of the dogs and a relief to know we didn’t have to worry about them. I would love to have Megan come and stay again! Thank you!”
“Michelle was super fab with our two adult “pups” Sadie and Champ. She sent photos and kept us updated regularly. Michelle is super reliable, dependable and you can see she has a true love for animals (especially doggies!). Sadie and Champ were very well taken care of and we highly recommend Michelle. We will definitely request her again!!”
“Mariah sat my dog Morgan for several days while I was out of the country. We did a meet-and-greet a couple of weeks ahead of the booking and Morgan was clearly comfortable around her, which was a good first impression. Mariah maintained great communication during the sitting, with text messages, photos and videos. Morgan won't eat from his bowl if anyone else (other than me) is in the immediate area, but Mariah shared photos of him eating from his bowl while she was standing close by, which showed how calming an influence she had on him. Overall, I'm very happy with how the sitting went and would book Mariah again.”
