Maria was great and sent lots of pictures to update me on my pup while I was gone. My pup seemed happy and well taken care of. Everything was super clean when I returned home which is always a nice bonus.

Katelyn was super flexible in watching my pup Ran’na last minute. Ran’na takes time to warm up to strangers but loved Katelyn immediately! I will definitely be rebooking Katelyn next time I need someone to keep Ran’na company.

Jenna is great! I had her for the first time for our dog and cat and she stayed for in house sitting. She sent many photos and even kept track of meal times and walks (without us asking). I would absolutely book again!

Kiera was amazing! She was able to help us out with a last minute dog sitting, and our Piña warmed up to her so quickly! She sent us pictures of Piña throughout her time dog sitting, which was awesome. We will definitely be rebooking with Kiera 💓

Olga and I are lucky we met John. He came over several times before I left town to walk her, getting to know Olga and the house. It was clear from the way he interacted with Olga and the questions he asked that he knows dogs. I learned a lot from him! I appreciated his regular updates and the sweet pics and vids he sent while I was away; great to know she was enjoying her house and routine. And enjoying John! I look forward to working with John again and highly recommend him for walking and house sitting.

Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!

Benjamin was wonderful with our two older dogs! We booked him relatively last minute for a trip but it turned out to be a great thing. He was very accommodating to our dogs needs and kept us posted on their status so we had nothing to worry about. He was also a very respectful house guest and kept the place tidy and neat. We would absolutely have Benjamin watch our dogs again and I think they would like that too!

Tori is a great dog sitter. She clearly communicates her schedule, shows up on time, sends great updates, follows care instructions (complicated for senior dogs), and treats our pups like gold. We’re very grateful. Thank you, Tori!

Sophie cat-sat for my kitty CJ, and she did a fantastic job. Sophie stayed at my apartment for 8 days, and she and CJ got along swimmingly. She sent me daily photos and updates and was very thoughtful and sweet. I look forward to having Sophie watch CJ again soon!
