1. Kaitlyn N.
“She scheduled a meet and greet, asking the right questions. She watched my dog during the holidays and made sure to be with my anxious dog during times of fireworks, and gave me daily updates and pictures. Left my apartment in mint condition!!”
2. Kyra C.
“Kyra was great with our dog and cats! This was our first pet sitting experience and now we look forward to working with her again. She really went above and beyond with our older lab mix!”
3. Ross B.
“Ross did a wonderful job housesitting and watching our pets. He took our dog on daily walks and gave her lots of attention. He sent us updates and pictures to show how she was doing. He gave time and attention to our cat as well and also sent pictures of him. The house was tidy and neat, just as we had left it. His care for our house was also excellent! We would recommend Ross to any pet owners who want the extra care and attention to their pets and assurance that they are being well cared for. We know our pets were left with a caring and responsible sitter which gave us a peace of mind while away on a family vacation. We will be using his services again! Five star rating!”
4. Jenna S.
“Jenna was the perfect choice to dog sit our three dogs. On a scale from 0 to 100 I’d give Jenna 200%. Everything she did was above and beyond. She sent pictures daily of their progress. She was absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever hired. We will definitely be hiring her again! Thank you Jenna for taking such good care of Brooklyn, Carly and Gracy ann.”
5. Kimberly T.
“Kim's love and care for dogs is truly evident in everything she does. She kept me updated regularly while taking care of my dogs and always responded quickly to my messages. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands while I was away. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”
6. Joanna N.
“Joanna is the best! She stayed with our dog for just under a week in our home and took the best care of her. Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and requires medication and Joanna made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Sent lots of pictures and daily updates. When we got home, our house was spotless and just as we left it. We will definitely be using her services again!”
7. Allison L.
“Allison is fantastic! Not only did she communicate with me a few times a day with updates on my sweet older dog, she also helped my neighbor with a small emergency ❤️❤️ I fully trust her and I recommend her 100%.”
8. Owen S.
“Owen has watched both my dog and cat before, caring for feedings, walks and cleaning litter boxes. He is very meticulous with his care, ensuring he is doing everything correctly and doing his best to make my animals comfortable. He is gentle and attentive with my dog, who loves to see him and goes crazy to be with him. My cat can be extremely difficult at times and Owen is patient to give the cat his space but also care for him. 10/10 care and would highly recommend.”
9. Johnathon C.
“I've had the privilege of having John care for our 2 bully breed dogs and our aquatic turtles. I have also watched him care for other dogs of all breeds and ages. He has a calming, quiet, and loving presence that all animals seem to respond to. He takes his responsibility to provide a loving, and safe environment very seriously. He enjoys creating a special connection any animal in his care.”
10. Madison M.
“Madison was fabulous! I was so worried about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, but Madison recognized this, reassured me during our meet and greet and then kept me up to date during her stay. I will definitely be requesting her to sit for me again!”

15. Carson L.
“Carson and her husband Ty were absolutely amazing!! Everyday she sent updates, as well as lots of pictures so I could still see my furbabies. This was my first time having a pet sitter, and Carson really went above & beyond. They are extremely good at what they do; they are trustworthy, informative, kind, and overall the best sitters. I could not thank them enough for putting me at ease while I was away, and I would recommend them to anyone needing pet care services!”
16. Kiasia H.
About: I’ve helped taken care of dogs since I were 7 years old. I know a lot of things about them. Ofc everyone can learn from some but I know enough and alot. Your dog will feel like there at home. I’m a full time baby sitter and wanted to add dogs to my list of things I watch. I will have all the time to give them the love in attention they will need I have doggy toys. A big field in the backyard with an park for them to run around! And they are in good hands. I have a small yorkie of my own.
17. Gabrielle M.
“Gabrielle is very caring and compassionate for all animals, no matter what species. She takes time with special needs pets and treats them like her own.”
18. Grant G.
“I am pleased to recommend Grant as a pet sitter. Grant has provided excellent care for my 55 lb golden doodle Remi on multiple occasions. He has shown great responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine care for Remi. His reliability and the loving attention he has given to her has been truly exceptional. I have complete confidence in his ability to provide top-notch care for any pet, and I highly recommend him for any pet sitting opportunities.”
19. Brittany L.
“Brittany has been a reliable pet sitter for my wife and I for the last three years. We were referred to her by a close friend, who utilizes her services. Having tried three or four subpar sitters before, we were optimistic and very hopeful that we would finally obtain a good fit. Brittany did not disappoint. Our two fur babies mean the world to us, but can be a handful with strangers. Hamilton can be moody and nip at people and Gabriella is skittish and just shakes when nervous. Brittany almost instantly meshed with our two dogs. Hamilton has begun taking three medications in the last year, and Brittany has been on top of everything. The first two trips away I was cautiously concerned about them, but now I don't give it another thought. I almost feel like they don't even miss us when we return, because she spoils them rotten while we are away. Brittany is a top notch dog sitter and an even better human being. Our two pups like any dog, can sense when someone truly loves them and is gentle and kind. I can not recommend Brittany enough. I don't know how anyone could surpass her knowledge and genuine love for the dogs she chooses to care for.”
