Cheryl has been taking care of our dog Kona and our home for over a year now when we vacation. We couldn't have asked for a more kind, loving and responsible person. Kona is content and happy when we return home and the house is just as we left it. During this stay Kona had some medical issues with several new medications. Cheryl's confidence and experience helped ease our concerns and Kona was back to her old self when we returned.

Adriana helped me a lot with dog sitting. She would come over to watch my dog when I went out of town for business. I had a boxer that had a hurt leg and she cared for her very well as if it were her dog. My dog loved her. Every time my dog saw Adriana coming to the doorstep she would get so excited and not bark (she barked with most people). I knew that I could trust Adriana to watch my dog every time I left for a business trip. Highly recommend!

Chase stayed at my house for five nights with my two dogs. During our meet and greet, I knew he would be a good fit because he got down on the floor with my dogs immediately. One senior dog requires medication thrice daily and is difficult to feed. The other dog is young and has a lot of energy. Chase sent me photos and updates daily and left my house very clean. I highly recommend Chase and plan to use his pet-sitting services again.

Leo was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have two senior dogs and one of which does not warm up to people very often and she loved Leo! He took them for walks and send me cute photos of them! He also administered antibiotic eyedrops for one of my dogs twice a day, and he cleaned and monitored the area for me. He went above and beyond! I came home to a clean apartment and the dishes that I stored their fresh food in for the week were all clean. Would highly recommend Leo for any dog needs!

I highly recommend Mike to come to your home and take care of your pets. I was gone for two weeks and he made sure my dog was safe, healthy and happy. I will definately be asking Mike again in the future.

Lydia did an incredible job caring for our golden retriever while we were away for a few days. She always communicated clearly with us and checked in regularly to let us know how he was doing. Lydia is very trustworthy and kind, and left our house in great condition. I recommend her highly!

Isis is my girlfriend, we have been together for going on 8 months, she is a very trustworthy person especially when it comes to animals. I’ve never met anyone in my life who loves and cares about animals as much as she does, if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animal baby she is the best person to do so.

We have never left Rumba alone overnight with anyone else before, so it was a breath of fresh air seeing that he did amazing with McKenna and we were able to go out of town! They got along perfectly and will definitely be asking her to hang out with Rumba again! 🐾

Robert has a love of dogs beyond anyone I’ve ever known! He greets dogs with gentleness and enthusiasm. His love of all animals is known to everyone around him. He’s also timely, respectful, and keeps his commitments. He follows directions well, learns fast, and is extremely reliable. He is a perfect candidate for dog/pet care.

This was the first time leaving our new rescue dog and we were a little nervous about how he would handle it, but Jessica was terrific. She had great questions during our first meet n greet and was super flexible with our last minute travel schedule. She texted photos of our pup throughout our trip and kept us updated without us ever having to ask. She kept the house tidy, took our dog on walks, kept him clean, and our dog seemed super happy when we got back. Jessica has a calm, responsible demeanor and is obviously great with dogs. We will definitely be booking her for our future travel.

Grace & Anthony were so patient with my special needs dog. By the middle of their stay, my dog warmed up and even slept with them which is very rare :) their communication was frequent and their photos were reassuring that my dog was having the time of his life with their company and care. Highly recommend!
