3. Evelyn R.

“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”


4. Sarah & Aaron B.

“Sarah and her family are true gems! They watched our beagle for five days who has very bad separation anxiety. Our little girl was well looked after, taken on walks, cared for during fireworks and loved playing with their sweet dog, River. Sarah kept us updated with photos which I really appreciated. Will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”


5. Asya E.

“Asia was fantastic with our dog. She communicated very well and he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We hope to use her again soon.”


6. James S.

“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”


7. Faith R.

“We were looking for someone to leave out super high separation anxiety dog with because we've not been able to go anywhere since our other dog passed. We did a trial run over night with two people and Faith was amazing with her. So we did a M-F and she seemed like it went amazing! Faith is probably the only person we trust going forward. Would recommend 10/10!”


8. Stephany B.

“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”




9. Ashley N.

“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of my Husky. She was very responsive over the phone and sent lots of pictures and videos. 10/10 would recommend. Very sweet person too”


10. Barbara L.

“Nero loved his stay with Barbara and Archie. Barbara sent updates and photos each day. Nero ate well and slept comfortably. I highly recommend Barbara and will book again.”




11. Thelma C.


“Thelma did another great job with our dog overvthe Christmas holidays. She sent updates and kept us aware of our senior dog’s antics. This is my second time I’ve used Thelma and I am very happy with her. I will definitely use her again ( if she’ll have us! )”


12. Marycarmen B.

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”


13. Frances B.
“I am fortunate to have found Frances care for my fur child rabbit, Chaco. She is a kind-hearted and deeply responsible pet sitter who has looked after my bunny during both short trips and extended absences. Frances is truly conscientious when it comes to animal care, she provides loving attention and always keeps Chaco’s living space clean and comfortable. She thoughtfully worked with me to set up an environment that closely duplicates my rabbits setup at home, especially important since my rabbit has lost some vision due to cataracts. Frances attention to detail and genuine compassion assures me that Chaco is in good hands. I highly recommend Frances to anyone seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and caring pet sitter. As a long-time pet owner herself, she truly understands the needs of animals and takes her responsibilities seriously.”


14. Lisa & Matthew W.


“Lisa and Matt are wonderful people with a beautiful fenced-in yard and a house that is set up very well for pet boarding. They have pets of their own, so our fur babies have new friends to play with! They also make a point of not boarding multiple owners' pets at the same time without asking permission first. We plan to continue utilizing their services.”


15. Brooke G.

“Brooke took fabulous care of our dog! She came to our home to pick up our dog, immediately showed that our dog would be in good hands, sent us photos and videos throughout her stay, gave our dog her medicine, gave her a bath, and even had a dance party. We will definitely put our dog in Brooke's care again.”


16. Christine M.

“Christine did everything we asked of her, and more! She was readily available for a “meet and greet” and able to adjust her schedule to our last minute request to keep our dog. She accommodated our senior (12 year old dog) in every way possible. She set up a separate eating space for him before we arrived. She took him on solo, short walks, lots of potty breaks in her large fenced in backyard, let him make himself at home on her sofa, gave him his daily meds AND sent photos to us throughout the four days he was with her. It was a perfect fit for our dog’s needs. I would recommend her and definitely use her again. Many thanks to Christine!”


17. Karen L.

“Karen is such a wonderful person and took great care of my dogs when we went out of town. Her love of animals really shows. I highly recommend Karen and I will definitely book her again for my next trip :)”


18. Lori M.

“Lori and Jim took wonderful care of our pups. Both were amazing, gentle, and loving with our two dogs. Lori was very responsive and thoughtful to send us frequent updates on our pups. We highly recommend Lori.”


19. Natalya Z.

“Natalya was kind and gentle with my pup.Provided a peaceful environment, sent photos and kept us updated. We were very pleased with the care our fur baby received and would be happy to use her services in the future.”


20. Katie A.

“Great experience. Our dog is very nervous around new people and this sitter made sure he felt comfortable and safe. I highly recommend.”
