1. Darra R.
“Darra, as usual, was amazing! We let her know last minute that our car had just been diagnosed as diabetic and she made an extra trip to meet with us and learn how to give his injections and was so easy to work with and flexible. Highly recommend!”
2. Natalie D.
“Natalie is the absolute best! We always feel comfortable with her staying with our 5 fur babies and she handles their idiosyncrasies flawlessly! Thank you Natalie!”
3. Marcela D.
“Marcela and her husband Airka took really great care of our two cats and puppy while we were out of town for the weekend. They all seemed to warm up to them pretty quickly and were comfortable the whole time. We had a couple hiccups from miscommunication, but Marcela did everything to correct it and kept an open line of contact with updates and pictures all weekend. Our house was left the same as we left it, nice and tidy. Would book again in the future!”
4. Khishana S.
“Khishana spent 4 days at my home with my dogs. She took great care of them. They were happy and healthy when I returned. Khishana was very good about responding to me and asking me questions if she had a question about their care. She also took very good care of my home. I will definitely be asking her to care for my pups again!”
5. Michelle G.
“Michelle did a great job house sitting with our clingy pit mix.”
6. Jessica L.
“I know when Jessica is staying with my senior dog and spunky cat that they are getting her full attention, which includes regular and thorough communication, medical oversight, play and stimulation, and the love and hugs they're used to. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
7. Laura C.
“Laura was fantastic dog sitting our two dogs. She sent updates everyday and asked questions. We appreciated how calm and knowledgeable she was when she met our dogs. We would absolutely book with her again!”
8. makenzie b.
“Makenzie did an incredible job taking care of our 2 nervous dogs while we were gone on a 10 day trip. On the first day one of our dogs got sick and Makenzie was on it, rushing her to the emergency vet and taking care of everything. Then our neighbor was giving her a hard time and she was calm and communicative. I couldn't be more grateful for how well she took care of our dogs and our home. We are so glad that we found her and will be having her watch our dogs again in the future. Highly recommend.”
9. Melany A.
“So happy to have found Melany. She did a great job taking care of our senior pup. She also stayed at our home and took care of the plants too. So glad we met you Melany! And so is Trevi!”
10. Nancy L.
“Nancy did such a wonderful job with our dogs, Beaubien and Ames! She was super responsive, shared great photos and took excellent care of out home and pups while we were out of town. We would definitely book with Nancy again!”
11. Alexander P.
“This was the third time Alex stayed with our 2 rather high maintenance adult cats. He is interested in getting to know their personalities and needs and keeps us posted about how things are going which is so helpful when traveling far away. We were gone for 4 nights and came home to calm and well cared for kitties. Thanks, Alex!”
12. Laurie R.
“This is my second booking with Laurie. She is great. She sends updates and pictures. She is very considerate. My place is always clean when I get home.”
13. Jasmine S.
“Jasmine stayed at our house with our dog for two nights. She arrived right on time and kept the house very neat. Brownie wasn't too anxious when we got back so I know he was well taken care of!”
14. Brooke S.
“Brooke was a wonderful sitter! They came by a few weeks in advance to meet Bruno. It really helped because I couldn’t be home when they arrived but they knew their way around the house and Bruno was excited to see them! Brooke shared tons of photos and updates and communication was great. They also made sure the house was cleaned and in great shape for when I got home. We hope to work with Brooke again!”
15. Peter V.
“Peter is wonderful with our dogs! He’s dog sat them a couple of times and already knows them so well. Love his updates while we are gone too.”
16. Traisaun L.
“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”
17. Carol N.
“Carol was very thorough and communicative! I loved receiving photos throughout the day while she took care of them. We would be happy to book with her again!”
18. Regan M.
“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
19. Kirsten S.
“Kirsten is such a delight! She has taken care of our puppy multiple times, and just watched our pup after she had surgery. She was great with making sure that Millie (the aforementioned pup) adhered to all of the veterinarian's recommendations and asked great questions in how beat to care for Millie. We will absolutely use her again and can't recommend Kirsten enough!!”
20. Jonathan H.
“Jonathan did a wonderful job taking care of my little ones! He always shared lots of pics with me to update me and took my dogs for many walks! Also left my apartment in perfect condition from when I left him caring for them and I strongly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
