Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.

Emily is an excellent sitter. My little crew is not the easiest to handle. While my cat is incredibly entertaining, she's not exactly cuddly, she just wants to get into as much mischief as possible. My dog is a beautiful sweet boy with anxiety issues. He really requires the right energy or his anxiety becomes aggravating (he barks excessively, chews inappropriately and paces). Thankfully, Emily's calm demeanor helps put him at ease. Throughout her stay Emily communicated regularly with plenty of pictures to share. She left my home neat and clean. I will use Emily again without hesitation.

Sarah was absolutely delightful and such a help with my puppy. She made extra effort to be sure that my puppy was comfortable, cared for and had plenty of fun things to do while I was gone. I will definitely be using Sarah’s services again, and highly recommend her!!!

Dan was an ideal sitter — considerate, communicative, responsible, clean, responsive. What a nice person too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. We left our two cats and our home in his care for two weeks. We never had a moment’s unease, as Dan communicated with us regularly. We returned to find all in perfect order with thoughtful touches that welcomed us home.

Elise was amazing! She took such great care of Oscar and our house while we were away. From the start, she was super easy to communicate with and made us feel totally at ease about leaving Oscar. She sent us updates and pics while we were gone, and Oscar looked happy and relaxed—it was clear that he was in great hands. When we got home, the house was spotless and Oscar was his usual content self. We’re so grateful to have found Elise. We'd have her back in a heartbeat and would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

Chris was fantastic. She was very thorough with keeping our dog on his schedule and followed instructions to a 'T'. We had absolutely no issues. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was there to take care of Toby and keep an eye on the house. She was also very flexible— we missed our flight back from our trip due to weather and she stayed longer than our original arrangement. We will definitely have Chris over again. Plus, Toby adored her!

Joey did such a wonderful job watching our Sherlock! We were a bit nervous since we recently adopted him and he sometimes has some behavioral issues as he adjusts to his new environment. However, he was left in such calm and capable hands with Joey- he did such a good job walking/running him a lot and sounds like all went very well. Based on our convos before, Joey seemed to really “get it” and the needs of a dog still adjusting. We also loved receiving a ton of videos and updates!

Marcus is the sweetest; he is so kind and caring. He really went above and beyond for our pets, our home and our family while we were away. We had a lot of rain and Marcus walked our dog throughout the day so he could get enough activity without getting muddy in the yard. He was also patient and sweet to our very shy cat. My home looked better when we got back then before we left! Excellent communication as well! Thank you Marcus!!

Bridget was the best dog sitter we have ever had (that is saying a lot because we have had him for 11 years)! She communicates with us the whole time and sent a ton of great photos. Our dog has some special needs (arthritis and doesn’t love other dogs) and she handled it perfectly. We will book her for all future vacations and dog walks.

Ismy stayed at our home with our dog for two weeks. She was amazing in every way! Wesley (our dog) was walked several times a day and enjoyed lots of snuggles and playtimes. Ismy communicated with us daily about how Wesley was doing and she sent lots of pictures too! We will definitely reach out to Ismy again when we need a dog walker or a sitter. I highly recommend her!!
