1. Katharina M.

“Katharina went above and beyond for us she came into a house with no power for 2 days. My rescue gave her a hard time as he was already stressed from the hurricane. She turned that around in no time and had him snuggling with her. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch our dogs!!!!!”


2. Janelle M.

“Janelle saved the day for me this time around. I have used her a couple of times before and she has been great. This time I was out of town and the other sitter I hired didn’t show. My poor babies had been home for far too long. I reached out to Janelle and she made it to my home so quick. And covered the weekend. I am so super grateful.”




3. Nicole & Raymond W.


“I always stress about leaving my dogs with anyone and this was our first time leaving our dogs with someone who wasn't a family or a close friend and it was the least stressed I have ever been on a trip. Nicole sent us detailed updates about the pups days and made sure to include information that a pet parent would want to know like that silly little back and forth rubbing my dog Briggs does against the couch, sent adorable pictures, and gave my dogs lots of snuggles. I could tell when we got home that the dogs had just as good of a time as we did. Highly recommend!”


4. Maureen T.

“Maureen was wonderful with my little Daphne. She sent photos and provided updates on how she was doing. She was a happy little girl. Thank you.”


5. Hailey C.

“Hailey was amazing with our boys! She always communicated with us. The videos and photos she sent daily showed how happy our boys felt, and they looked just as smiley and goofy as when we were home. Would absolutely use here again.”




6. Barbara B.


“We are over the moon happy with the house sitting experience from Barbara. She was just what we have been looking for to take care of our "special needs" boxer. We received lots of pictures and there was great communication between us. Our family is very satisfied! Thanks Barbara!”


7. Debora S.


“Thank you Debora for taking care of our pups! She was super patient with our moose, who can be feisty with other dogs. She kept our dogs happy and safe!”


8. Linda S.

“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”


9. Stephanie W.
“Whenever I need help watching my pups Stephanie is always there to help. She took pics and fed and walked them when I wasn't home, she is such a life saver! You could tell by the pictures they were very comfortable with her too which made me feel good they were in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”


10. Ethan A.

“Ethan was an absolutely amazing sitter. He watched my dog Baboo in my home while I was gone for the day. He made sure that my rather anxious pup was well cared for and comfortable while I was away! Can’t wait for the next time I need a sitter. I definitely recommend Ethan and will be booking him again. Thanks Ethan!!”


11. Paige H.

“Paige was awesome taking care of Tinkerbell who just had cataract surgery. It was a pleasure having Paige watching over her I highly recommend”


12. Alanna B.
“I can’t recommend Alanna enough as a pet sitter or dog walker! Her love for animals is unmatched, and she has an incredible ability to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for. Alanna is patient, dependable, and has a natural connection with animals that puts even the most nervous pets at ease. Her friendly and reliable nature makes her a joy to work with, and you can trust that your furry family members are in the best hands. Whether it’s a quick walk or an extended stay, Alanna will treat your pets as if they were her own. She’s truly one of a kind!”


13. Vanessa T.

“Vanessa was amazing with my pup. She even helped me find someone else when we realized I had only booked for a day before I was going to be home. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I highly recommend her”


14. Vanesa P.

“Vanessa and Paula worked great as a team! They came to visit Skylar the night before I went out of time, took her on a walk, and was there right on time the next morning. I was able to go out of time without a single worry. Paula sent me the cutest pictures and videos while I was away. There was one small hiccup with my key, but even then she figured everything out on her own without any additional stress to me. Highly recommend! My dog and I were both happy”


15. Samantha G.

“We had Samantha stay at our place for the weekend to watch our pup Scout. We felt very comfortable having Samantha take care of Scout after the meet and greet & Scout seemed to really enjoy the weekend together. I definitely plan to have Samantha watch Scout any time I travel in the future 😊”


16. Destini C.

“Destini was amazing caring for my dog Callie!! I got lots of photo updates and Callie seemed to have a lot of fun!! Definitely will be using Destini in the future!!”


17. Valentina L.
“Valentina was WONDERFUL! I have a very high maintenance pit bull that is a big baby. He is afraid of everything and everyone and cannot stand to be alone. He is so excited every time he sees Valentina because he knows he's going to get all kinds of love, fun walks, treats, and sometimes gets to go to the dog park. We have hired a few dog walkers but Charlie wasn't comfortable with them like he is with Valentina. She's like a dog whisperer! I highly recommend Valentina to anyone looking for someone special to look after their fur baby. She's an amazing person and will love your pet like her own.”


18. Shelby B.
“I'm Shelbys neighbor and I have a dog and 2 cats. I go out of town for work alot and she minds them for me. I've never had an issue with her or my pets whenever she watches them. Has even taken them to vet appointments for me when needed, like I said I'm out of town alot.”


19. Gabriela W.

“Gabriela was absolutely wonderful for my kiddos. I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. And I would highly recommend her to anyone who loves their dog(s) and cat(s).”


20. Mia P.

“Mia is a wonderful dog sitter! She takes very good care of them, especially the older dog who takes a lot of medication. I never worry about them when Mia is here.”
