We recently had Eric come over and check in on our dogs while we were out of the country and we couldn’t be happier with his services! When he first came over to meet us and the pups, he brought a notebook and was very thorough in making sure he had all the details he needed. While we were out of town, he provided us with updates and pictures every single day! Our dogs loved him and it was so great knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Eric for any of your pet sitting needs!!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received while I was away over Christmas! Nevaeh went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and cat were well taken care of. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home, which is always a huge relief. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much!

We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!

Colin took care of my rescue pup, Annie, a black lab mix with special needs, for an extended stay after a previous sitter had to cancel at the last minute. You could tell right off what a pet lover he was. He asked many good questions at the meet and greet, was punctual and handled Annie’s energy well on a leash. Colin sent me pictures and multiple daily updates on how she was doing. Giving her daily meds, tennis ball play times and long walks to help with her anxiety were part of a daily routine. I came home to a tired and happy pup. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone needing pet sitting services! Jain & Annie

Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!

Linda is very passionate about animals - she doesn’t just look after them, she LOVES them. Bentley and Gracie (Boston Terriers) stayed overnight with Linda. Linda regularly sent us photos , videos and messages. My husband and I were blown away by Linda’s exceptional customer service. I will definitely use her again.

Susannah did an excellent job house sitting with my three elderly cats. They aren’t easy, given their age and “litter habits- or occasional lack thereof, but Susannah obviously was kind and gracious to them. She also took great care of my home. She’s at the top of my list next time I go away.

Leeann did a great job taking care of our 9 month old collie for one night. She communicated well and sent pictures to update us throughout her stay. Our dog seemed very comfortable with Leeann. Our dog was in a happy and calm mood when we returned home. Leeann left our apartment very tidy and clean as well.

This was the first time Jay stayed at our house, and she did an amazing job! One of our pugs is quite the diva, but Jay handled her perfectly. She stayed at our home for four nights and five days, following all of my care instructions like a pro. Her communication was excellent, she kept our house just as we left it, and most importantly, she took wonderful care of my babies. There were a few small hiccups and a learning curve, as expected, but Jay quickly adapted and mastered everything. I would absolutely recommend Jay and will definitely be booking her again for future travels. Thank you, Jay, for taking such great care of Googi and Skylar—and for the thoughtful pup reports at the end of your stay!

Sam took wonderful care of our 2 dogs that both required medication and extra attention. She kept in close contact with us throughout our time away. We lost power for a stretch and she took this in stride and kept us up to date on the dogs and the house. We will definitely plan to have Sam come look after the dogs again.
