1. Josette F.

“Josette watched our two GSDs in our home while we were away. First time having her sit for us and will definitely be rebooking! Communication was wonderful and she included daily pictures updates. Any issues that came up she was quick to ask, however, kept conversation to morning/evenings which was nice to not interfere with our trip. She left our home better than she found it I’m sure and our dogs were loved and well taken care of the entire time we were gone. Josette gave us real peace of mind while we travelled!!”


2. Erin F.

“Erin stayed with our 6 month old pup, Maple, last week while we were out of town. She took great care of our girl and was very communicative throughout her stay with updates about how she was doing. We appreciated that our house was in good hands as well and everything was extremely neat and well cared for. We are so happy to have found Erin and look forward to having her come stay with Maple again soon!!”


3. Brandi W.


“Brandi is extremely kind and sweet and our dogs were comfortable with her immediately, as were we. We were impressed by how responsive and flexible she is. She is already booked again for an upcoming weekend. Highly recommend!”


4. Patrick H.

“Patrick was awesome with our senior pups! He took them on lots of walks, which they loved, and made sure to give them plenty of cuddles. It was so nice to come home to happy pups. I also really appreciated how much care he took of our home— even got our trash out on the curb for us. Would definitely use him again for future petsitting.”


5. Rylee D.

“Rylee is a caring and reliable sitter - it made being away from my dogs bearable to know that they had such a great person taking care of them.”


6. Gabrielle M.

“Gabi was an amazing pet sitter! My boyfriend and I were away for a week, and she took such great care of our cat and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. One of the things I appreciated most was how many pictures she sent—it was so nice to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two very happy pets, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”


7. Tammy B.

“Tammy took care of our dog, our house, and my tomato starts all flawlessly! She is an excellent communicator and sent us pictures each day. Fabulous!”


8. Ava B.
“There is nobody I would rather have watch my dog then Ava Balda. She was incredibly responsible with my dog, and he is a handful. I would recommend Ava to anyone that needs their dog taken care of. The dog can be easy or tough to handle. She is also a very nice person.”


9. Whanadi S.

“Excellent experience with Whanadi and her adorable daughter. I could tell the minute we introduced the dogs there was an immediate bond. My dogs sensed comfort/kindness emanating from their two new best friends. I felt 100% comfortable giving my house/animal responsibilities to Whanabi and she did not disappoint. 5 stars all the way around! Thank you so much Whanabi and be sure you thank Aurelia for me.”

13. Michelle C.

“Michelle is the best! I always want to make sure the sitter is as comfortable with Riley as he is with the sitter. She was so comfortable and knowledgeable with senior dogs. My old guy has some quirks and she was so patient and loving. I am so thankful to have found her. Will definitely use her again!”

17. Victoria K.
“Victoria has cared for my cats and dogs for years any time I’ve needed to be away. All of my animals have different needs such as medication, supplements, varying diets, and medical needs and Victoria makes sure that each one gets that attention to detail that they get from me. Not only are my animals well cared for, but they are always so excited to see her again. Some of my favorite pictures of my pets are ones I received while Victoria is caring for them. Highly recommend Victoria as your trusted pet sitter if you are looking for high quality, loving care.”


18. Lauren D.

“Lauren did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs, especially my senior dog.”


19. Daisy R.
“Daisy is a trustworthy, kind, loving, and responsible person!! She has helped us out with our two fur babies several times and has gone above and beyond for them. We knew our babies were in good hands when she cared for them. Any client that has the opportunity to work with Daisy will be left happy. Your fur babies will be in great care with her!”


20. olivia r.

“Olivia was a super conscientious dog and house sitter for a 4 day vacation we just took. She sent daily photos of our two dogs, took them on walks as requested and administered a twice daily medication to one of them. She brought in mail and newspapers, kept the house clean and even let us know one of our dogs had a tick just hours before our return so we were able to take care of this immediately. We highly recommend Olivia and will use her services in the future!”
