Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.

Brittany did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town! She gave me frequent updates and sent adorable pictures and it was so nice to go out of town and not worry at all! Highly recommend her!

What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!

Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend

Anna was extremely communicative and provided consistent updates while she watched my two pups during an out of town trip. I could tell through every photo and video she shared that the dogs were very well taken care of and comfortable. I would definitely book Anna again for future requests!

Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.

Violet is a fantastic sitter! I have been wanting someone to stay at my home so that my dog and cat aren't separated when I go out of town. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I almost don't want to leave this review because I want to keep her schedule free for my trips!! Thanks Violet.

Bailey was an amazing dog sitter. They made sure to keep in touch with updates and pictures of the pups daily, greatly appreciated! I came home after being gone several days to very happy content pups, mail brought in and a very tidy house. I highly recommend Bailey and look forward to having her dog sit again.

Amanda is amazing! She’s stayed with our animals twice now and we’ll keep booking her anytime we’re out of town. The animals have always been so well cared for and our house perfectly clean. She was super flexible when we left town last week amidst the water debacle and had to stay at another location with our animals. She’s very communicative and always sends updates with pictures throughout the day. We can’t recommend her enough.

JP was amazing. She took great care of our little dog. She communicated with us throughout our time away sending pictures of our dog. Abbey, our little chihuahua, actually seemed to miss her when we were back home. That says a lot! We would not hesitate to recommend Jp, and will book her again in the future.

We had a great experience with Rachel staying in our home with our dogs. We booked her a few weeks ahead of time and she was quick to coordinate our meet and greet. Even despite the gap in time between the M&G and the start of the sit, she reached out the day before to confirm her arrival plan. We really appreciated knowing that she was on top of things! Our dogs loved her and looked so happy in the photos Rachel sent. We appreciated her regular communications and that she treated our home like her own. We would definitely use her again!

Robin watched my Oliver for a week while I was in Ireland, couldn’t have been more perfect! She stayed at my house with him, walked him, checked in a couple times a day and sent pictures. My house was immaculate upon return. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely have her watch my dog and home again!!

Drew is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to dog sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care he gave my high-energy pup, Winnie! Drew clearly has tons of experience watching dogs, and it shows in how effortlessly he managed Winnie’s boundless energy. From long walks to playtime, he made sure she was happy and well-exercised, even sending me daily updates with photos of her wagging tail and goofy grin. Winnie can be a handful, but Drew handled her with so much patience and love that I could tell she adored him. It’s clear Drew has a natural talent for caring for dogs, and his reliability and attention to detail made being away stress-free for me. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced dog sitter. Five stars aren’t enough for Drew! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
