Krystle did a great job with my girl! She sat with my pup in my home for a short girls trip and I was able to enjoy without any worries. I got plenty of videos and pics while away to know they enjoyed their time together. She left my space spic and span and I'd definitely hire Krystle again. Thank you so much again!

William was highly communicative, responsible, and trustworthy for us as he houses sat for us for 6 days. He was also patient with our shy dog and made sure to put in the work to get him to warm up to him. William was frequent with walks and pics/messages to keep us in the loop. Hope to use William for future stays and definitely recommend him and his services!

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!

Jena provided exceptional pet sitting services for our two bulldogs. Her communication was outstanding throughout the stay, keeping us promptly informed of any concerns and proactively offering to coordinate veterinary care when one of our dogs experienced paw issues. 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!

We are so happy to have found David & Mabel. They stayed in our house and took care of our dog while we were away for 10 days. The house was spotless when we return and our dog seemed to have a very good time with them! They are caring, trustworthy, friendly, and communicative. We are definitely planning to work with them again in the future!

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❤️
