1. Courtney R.

“Courtney was great. We got real time feedback and pictures which really gave us peace of mind. So great to know Bella was well taken care of!”


2. Isabella M.

“Isabella took care of our German Shorthair Pointer, Bremen, at our home while we were on vacation in Hawaii. She took him on regular walks on and off leash. She fed him and provided companionship. She gave us regular updates including pictures which helped us feel at ease. She was available for check in phone calls if needed. When we returned, Bremen was relaxed and looked great. We would definitely ask Isabella to take care of our dog again.”


3. Stephanie R.
“Stephanie will always be my go-to person for watching my fur baby! Stephanie is reliable, responsible, caring, and so loving towards my Lilah. She always pays such good attention to detail and follows every request, whether it be administering treats to my pup at a certain time or walking her for a certain distance. I'm always nervous when leaving my pup with pet sitters, however, when I leave Lilah with Stephanie, I never have to worry. She sends loads of pics and videos daily of Lilah on her walk, eating treats, or just lounging in bed. If Stephanie has any questions or is unsure of something, she doesn't hesitate to call me. She is also very respectful of my home, which is important to me. With Stephanie as my pet sitter, I am able to enjoy my vacations or time away, knowing that Lilah is safe, well taken care of, and loved! Lilah also loves spending time with Stephanie!”


4. Angelo F.

“amazing dog sitter, our boy was happy and not even remotely anxious like he usually is when we leave. It’s clear he really cared and we couldn’t ask for anything better!”


5. Alesandra P.

“Really grateful to’ve found such a great sitter! Super communicative and of course most importantly, great with our dogs. Felt safe leaving them and our home in her care.”


6. Hayley B.
“In addition to parenting two dogs of her own, Hayley works with many dogs (and other shelter animals) every day, and she does it with love and fun and passion. She is conscientious, reliable,and empathic. Your dogs will be well-loved and respected in her care. Plus, she's got a great personality that you will love, too. Thumbs up!”


7. Sammantha S.

“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”


8. Catherine M.

“Catherine was very caring towards Stevie while we were away. She texted with concerns, was willing to help however she could and sent updates and pictures throughout the week.”


9. Melissa T.

“Melissa was everything we could have asked for in someone responsible for our pups and home while we were away. We have two dogs, each with their quirks. It was clear the first time Melissa met them that they were going to be well-cared for. It was equally clear that our home was going to be in good hands. Communication with Melissa while we were away was easy, and she sent us periodic pictures of the pups that made us smile. We also returned later than expected (by hours, not days), and she generously stayed later to make sure the dogs weren't alone without being able to go out too long. Melissa is personable, responsible, patient, and easily managed our very different dogs. When we got home they were happy, healthy and our house was in great shape. Next time we go away and need a house sitter, we would be delighted if she is available again.”


10. CeCe F.

“Excelent service, now I know who would take care of my family pets when I am away. My dogs and cat where really comfortable with CeCe from day one. I am really happy with the service and the follow up pictures she sent me while I was away. She communicated with me at all times which I appreciate. Also my house was well taken care off.”


11. Maria H.


“Maria H. provide safe and consistent care for our 12 year schnauzer mix in our home for a week. She stayed with our dog overnight and ensured she had a fun time while we were away. We returned to a happy, calm dog and a tidy home. Thank you Maria. We will hire you again!”


12. Haley D.
“Haley has been coming to our house every week for the last 7 years to medicate and play with our dogs. Pancho is a very reactive dog, and Haley is fantastic with him-calm and patient. She loves our dogs like they are her own. She’s always happy to come over if we can’t be home for pill-time. She’s the only person I trust to care for our dogs when we go away in the summer. I can’t say enough good things about her! I could write a book. Anyone would be lucky to have her to care for their pets.”


13. Hayden G.

“Collin and Hayden were great! They met us a few days before and our dog Leti loved them. I showed them around the home and our usual dog walk route, and they arrived promptly at the appointed time. I received photos of Leti being all happy throughout the day, and when I came home Leti loved them so much, she jumped up to give them full face licks of joy! I would happily book them again and recommend them to anyone else. As the parents of two dogs themselves they really know how to take care of dogs and make them feel all the love.”


14. Victoria V.
About: I have grown up around animals all my life. From guinea pigs, to parakeets, hamsters, and many more. I have experience working in a kennel, and as of now, I have 8 dogs at home and I share a 1 year old puppy with my significant other. I am currently a nanny throughout the week (Tuesday through Thursday) but have availability other days for drop ins, walks, feedings, boarding, and other services. I have a fenced in backyard, I live on a private road with a cul de sac, and if your pet is not well around other animals, they will be in a separate area. I also am totally open to pets laying on my bed and furniture.


15. Brant J.

“We were so lucky to get to work with Brant the first time we left our rescue pup, Rhett, with a sitter. Brant was extremely helpful, professional, caring and responsive. Rhett took to him right away, and we felt fully confident and at ease while away knowing that Rhett was getting great care and lots of snuggles and belly rubs. We got regular updates from Brant, which helped us feel connected and kept us in the loop, and he treated our home with care as well. We are already planning to work with Brant again and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for help with their pet!”




16. Erica J.


“Erica did a fantastic job house-sitting for my dog this weekend! They seem to have gotten along really well and I got the perfect amount of communication and pictures from Erica over the weekend. I came home to a healthy and happy pup and bonus, a tidy house as well! She truly went above and beyond, washing the sheets on the guest bed she used, watering my plants, and all kinds of stuff. I can't thank her enough, we definitely look forward to working with her again. Thank you Erica for taking such good care of my fur baby for me!”


17. Monique M.
“Monique was super with my dogs. I have 2 large Aussies and they can be a hand full. She handled them with no problem at all and they were very happy and content when they got home. I would highly recommend her.”


18. Caroline G.
About: I grew up having dogs! My family had the sweetest golden retriever growing up. She loved going for walks and loved meeting new people. We took care of her through an injury and arthritis which made walking challenging. My family got another dog who is a giant mix rescue with a very different temperament. She is terrified of new people and hates the mailman but I have worked with her to interact with others and work through some of her fears. I have also spent a lot of time with friends and family dogs and have dog sat a few times, too. I am looking for summer care options as I will have free time since I am a full-time teacher. I would be able to help out during the day. I am a reliable person who takes care of people's property. I will follow all instructions left by owners and do everything I can for their fur babies. I can walk, feed, and clean up after pets.


19. Mary Kate P.
“Mary-Kate gave my family and I a wonderful, but most importantly secure experience. From the first phone call, to the first in person meet, she radiated such a trustworthy and loving way of being. Have one conversation with her, and you will know exactly what I am referring to. Apart from her trustworthy and courteous nature, she is amazingly punctual and reliable. A true professional, Mary will always answer phone calls and texts, is more than willing to work with different schedules and takes an obvious but respectful pride in her work. I would and have recommended her caregiving abilities to my friends and family, and anyone that knows me knows I would never recommend something that is not top notch! I highly recommend this caregiver to anyone seeking a polite and sincere young woman to help out with our furry friends.”


20. Lili E.
“Deneen is an amazing pet sitter. I cannot recommend her enough! She took great care of our home while away on vacation. She kept us updated so we enjoyed our vacation without a worry. My fur babies were spoiled and didn't seem to miss us at all in her care. I look forward to working with her again.”
