“We've used Matthew more than once for petsitting our 4 fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats), and will continue to do so! Very good communication and super punctual. We got lots of updates to show how much fun our pets were having with him.”


“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”


“We were so happy with the care Emily and Veronica provided for our pups while we were away! From the start, they were thoughtful and proactive, asking great questions like how to wipe the dogs’ paws with all the rain and mud, and making sure they had all the info they needed to keep our pets comfortable. The updates and photos they sent were such a relief as our dogs looked so happy, relaxed, and clearly in great hands. It gave us such peace of mind while traveling. We’d absolutely love to book them again in the future!”


“Soleil was caring and compassionate with my pup. She sat with her and rubbed her tummy. She communicated with me many details about my pup which was reassuring while I was away. She kept my home in order and followed everything I asked.”


“Stormy was an absolute joy to have watch our dogs! Our house looked spotless, everything was so clean, and the dogs were well taken care of! We will 100% be asking Stormy to stay with our dogs again in the future!”


“Roxanne was so great with my little pup. She sent me photos and gave me updates throughout my trip and it felt great to know Macchiato was in good hands. Roxanne dog sat at my place and left it immaculate when she left. I'd definitely have Roxanne back again.”


“The ladies were absolute angels with our babies for the weekend! I cant say enough amazing things. They handled our baby on crate rest perfectly and both pups and cat were happy and relaxed. Thank you again!!! They miss you all ready!”


“Jessica was fantastic watching Bucky for me while went to the movies. Both Bucky and I have separation anxiety so I wanted someone with him. She took excellent care of him, playing with him, making sure he ate, and even walked him twice. She was very sweet and professional I will book with her again jd”


“Samantha is amazing! So much so that we schedule her before we schedule our trips. We have dogs, cats, foster dogs and ball pythons and she is experienced with them all! She has no hesitation to contact us with questions, follows instructions to a T, and alerts us if anything is off. She is also an amazing house sitter and makes sure things are clean, orderly and that the pets didn’t make too much of a mess. If she can’t watch my pets, we simply don’t go. I would pay an arm and a leg for Samantha’s services just to feel comfortable while I’m away. I’ve had sitters in the past that have neglected my animals and ghosted my animals for 24+ hours. Never again! Samantha is our one and only!”


“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”


“Bella was very friendly, provided great care for the critters (while they provided her entertainment lol), and kept the house just as we left it. Would definitely use her again!”


“What can I say about this stellar young man? Dogs don't lie and my timid pointer took to him quickly and my big female GSD was in love. Braydon is the best! Kind, considerate, firm but loving with my two fur babies. He kept me up to date with pics and videos and left my home so clean. He's amazing and I'd recommend and rebook any time. Next time now that I know what he likes, I'm going to have special snacks for this guy! He is the best sitter I've had in years!”


“Attentive, communicative and responsible. Dogs were in great care and appreciate all the communication we received. Really appreciate the care he took with our two babies.”


“Hannah was incredible from start to finish. Our girls felt completely at ease with her in our home, and her warm, attentive presence made a lasting impression. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. Hannah was attentive to every need, ensured plenty of outdoor time, and genuinely cared for their well-being. We couldn’t have asked for better , 10/10 experience. Professional, thoughtful, and absolutely recommendable!”


“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”


“Christina was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond with the updates and pictures of my baby. She did in house sitting and I would never know someone even stayed at my home. She respected my space and make sure my baby got all the love!! Will definitely be re-booking!”


“She was an absolute gem. I had a last minute trip planned, and I had to make arrangements for my two high maintenance dogs. Erica house sat for me last minute and did amazing with my two huskies. When I got home, my huskies were tired (that’s an impressive feat on its own), and my house was clean of husky dust. She definitely didn’t have to sweep and whatnot but she did! I would book her again in a heartbeat.”


“Victoria was super responsive and took great care of our dogs, plus lots of pictures and updates! She also left our house in great condition, even after all the rain. We will definitely be hiring her again!”


“Kailin was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and really seemed to enjoy my animals! I definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
