“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“Brye did a great job and her care of our boys was very appreciated.”
“Would definitely recommend! Very responsive and was available last minute for my dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was great with administering his medications. My dog is super anxious so it’s hard to find someone he is good with and he did great with her!”
“I can't recommend Linda enough as a pet sitter! She took such great care of our two dogs, Zoey and Wally, and our cat, Pepper, while we were away. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she’s not only professional but also genuinely loves animals. Zoey and Wally got plenty of playtime, and attention, and Pepper was well pampered too. Linda made sure to send us regular updates, which gave us peace of mind the entire time. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we came home, and we could tell they’d been well cared for.”
“Sarahs care for our dog is always 5 star and I will book her again and again. Not only is she wonderful with animals, she is reliable and trustworthy as well.”
“Tiffany was incredible and so so helpful. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Wendy sat for my dog and cat while I was away for a week. My animals are older and have some health needs, and my dog tends to be anxious. Wendy has a gentle approach to animals and she earned the trust of my shy dog! She took excellent care of my pets while I was away and she provided me with photos and updates. This reassured me enough that I could enjoy my trip! She’s the best.”
“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”
“Joseph and Meg went above and beyond by helping me out last minute, being incredibly accommodating, and remaining completely professional even when my pups were acting up. I am so grateful to them for taking care of my boys! I was really impressed by the way they stayed calm and positive and kept in touch. It was my first time leaving both dogs with a sitter, so their updates and pictures helped ease my nerves and assured me that the pups were in good hands while I was gone. Since I have 2 dogs, I also really appreciated that they come as a pair. It worked out well so that each dog got plenty of attention. By the end of the stay, my dogs had relaxed completely, and I felt confident that they were comfortable. I could not have asked for more. Trust me, if they could handle my crazy pair, they will take good care of your animals! I highly recommend this sitter! ”
“Scout watches our dog every time we go out of town during the week and weekends. She always gives our girl all the running and playing until she drops, and even stops in for a starbucks pup cup on occasion. We always look forward to pictures and video updates. We know our dog is well cared for and loved.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”
“We are so happy we found Erin! She is very reliable and kind... the pups were in good hands and we were able to have a nice weekend away knowing that our babies were being well cared for. Will be booking again!”
“Rihanna is absolutely wonderful!! She went above and beyond in her care for my fur babies and my home. Even got them treats and maintained our home while I was gone. She was very responsive, kept me updated throughout the day and even sent pictures and videos. My cat who is usually skirmish of strangers, warmed right up to her. She was an absolute blessing that allowed me to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about anything.”
“I cannot recommend Brittany enough as a cat sitter! She was absolutely incredible with our cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Not only did she keep the space spotless and organized, but she also made sure to give our cats plenty of love, attention, and playtime. She was incredibly responsive to all my messages, keeping me updated regularly with pictures and details of how the cats were doing. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness really put my mind at ease while I was away. It's clear that she has a true passion for animals, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and diligent to take care of your pets, look no further!”
“Colleen was great! She recently stayed with our two dogs for the weekend. They were happy when we got home and didn't seem to miss us. Colleen sent lots of pictures and updates. We have already booked her for a week next month while we are away on vacation.”
“Sunnie and Maisie love having Victoria sit for them! And so do we! Maisie has always been a troublemaker but Victoria expertly takes care of her. Sunnie is an older dog who justs likes to sit with people, and Victoria is so accommodating to both different personalities!”
“Jennifer is quite an animal lover. When she comes over to play or walk my dog, she always makes sure to give my cat some love and attention too! All of my animals love her, and it’s obvious she loves them too. She’s a natural and definitely has a soft spot for furrry friends :)”
“Finding someone you trust can be difficult. Jaime loves dogs and all animals. She’s the first person I would trust to care for any of my pets!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Ally! Ally stayed in my home and watched my nervous chihuahua for 11 days. She responded perfectly to my dog's needs and he clearly became comfortable with her during the stay. She updated me daily with pictures and videos and was very responsive and flexible. 10/10 for sure!”
