Lisa took care of our baby when we're out of town. She sent me regular updates which felt really nice. We were able to visit her place before booking to ensure our dog will get along with Missy. I will definitely recommend her. Thank you

Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!

This was our first time away from Stanley for more than a few days. Stanley seemed happy while we were gone and we felt better knowing he was well taken care of! He really likes Christy and Erkam!

Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!

Kevin watched our pug for six nights while we were in Hawaii and kept us updated with photos and fun stories. He made us feel super comfortable, leaving our furry family member. Kevin‘s dog Ricky is a big bonus. He’s a fun little guy and Sushi loved having a friend for the week. Can’t wait to book with Kevin again in the future highly recommend.!

Dog (Buddy) had a great time there playing with all the other dogs, got many pictures/videos! Rachael was very flexible with the schedule, including allowing me to pick up my pet ~1 hour later than expected. Great sitter if your dog loves to play and burn off energy with other dogs.

Such a wonderful and competent sitter. Jen and her family are the most heartwarming people and they go out of their way to care for your baby. You will not find a better sitter where your baby is treated as one of the family when you have to be gone! Ever! How lucky are we to have people like Jenevieve in this world?! So grateful. She acted like we were gifting her by leaving our crazy cat that we have had for a month with her. Carrie is the happiest and best version of herself I have ever seen after Jen’s care!

Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Rebekah was awesome! This was our first time using a dog sitter so we were a little nervous. We had a visit with her dogs and after a little while, we were comfortable they would get along ok. Rebekah was very flexible and responsive and sent us pictures every day. She truly took care of our dog and loved her like her own. She had so much fun, which helped us to relax and not worry while we were away. It was a great experience and we will definitely use Rebekah in the future and recommend her to anyone.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Kelsey was FANTASTIC with Sadie. She took the time to get to know Sadie before bringing her into her home. She made sure that she knew everything that Sadie may need or if there are any concerns that I had. She also took Sadie last minute which was super great for me. During Sadie’s stay, she sent me multiple videos and pictures which really helped me feel at ease, leaving my pup in her care. She’s very communicative and let I know what Sadie was doing throughout the day and when she was going for walks and how much she was eating. Sadie was very tired after her stay and I know that she enjoyed hanging out with Kelsey and her pup. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.

Lisa and Dennis were wonderful with Evie! They treated her like one of their own and sent thoughtful updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. It was clear they were paying attention to her routines, comfort, and personality. Evie got lots of playtime, enrichment, and snuggles, and came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely book with Lisa and Dennis again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive sitters!
