“I can’t thank Denise enough for the exceptional care she gave my two blind, elderly Chihuahuas while housesitting for me. Leaving them is never easy, but Denise’s warmth, patience, and deep understanding of their special needs instantly put me at ease. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and I could tell my pups were safe, calm, and truly loved. Denise went above and beyond—not just making sure their routines were followed, but giving them the gentle affection and attention they need to feel secure. I returned to a spotless home and two very happy dogs. I wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. She's a rare gem!”

Her attention to detail extended beyond pet care - she maintained the house immaculately and took the initiative to launder and remake the guest bedroom. Regular updates about our dogs' well-being gave us complete peace of mind during our absence. Based on this experience, we wholeheartedly endorse Jena as a trustworthy and professional pet sitter!”

20. Bailey N.
“Bailey is a phenomenal pet sitter who made me feel like my pup was in safe hands. She is reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile. I have an anxious dog who gets overwhelmed in new environments. She was able to take him on a field trip to a park and was considerate of his needs in stressful situations. She sent updates every day and I could see how comfortable he felt with her. I would definitely recommend Bailey if you are looking for someone to watch your fur baby❤️”
