Can’t say enough good things about Summar. I feel completely confident leaving town knowing that she’ll be taking great care of my dog and my home. Her communication and care are 5 stars.

Nick quickly responded when I reached out. We met ahead of time and he was great with my dog. He sent me daily photos while taking care of my dog. My dog was happy and well cared for while I was away and my house was left in good shape. I will definitely use Nick again.

LOVE Tara. My good little boi could NOT be in better hands while I’m away. He even got a little crown, which he surely appreciated , as he knows he is Augie, Prince of the Earthly Chows and Radiant Golden Spacepuppy. Your home and furry family members will be in excellent hands with Tara!

We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.

About: My mother used to train dogs when I was younger so I’ve been around dogs ever since I was born. My older brother has been taking care of dogs and boarding for years and I help him out with his process Right now I’m taking a break from school so I am available everyday! When I go back to School my schedule will remain mostly unchanged. I respect unfamiliar pets personal space until they get used to me, when walking dogs I am very observant of my surroundings making sure there is no danger. I typically let out my dogs 5 times a day for around 20-30 minutes when I was younger I loved to go on walks as well sometimes for over an hour.

Kymberlee is very responsible and professional. She housesat for me and looked after my dog over the weekend, and I was very grateful for her capable demeanor and experience, especially because my dog had a recent injury and needed extra attention. She left my apartment in much better shape than she found it, and she dropped everything to help after I realized I’d left my ID at home while I was traveling. She is truly a class act, professional individual, and I highly recommend her.

About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡

Highly recommend! Rachel did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our dog and cat. The animals loved her! Our lab, Bella, actually seemed to miss her for a few days afterwards… Rachel was responsible, reliable, and did a great job communicating and sharing daily photos. She followed our instructions and the house was well taken care of as well. We’ll definitely hope to use her again!

Fantastic sitter! Frankie is a newly adopted rescue who is still settling in and can be a bit of a terrier goblin, so I was nervous about leaving her. Isabel was calm, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. Frankie was happy and relaxed when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Claire was easy-going, attentive and responsible, despite having to take a final exam during the days when she was house sitting. She was always flexible about meeting up before the pet sitting began. She kept my beloved dog and cat alive and well while I was out of town, which was my main priority. But she also paid attention to their moods, appetites (or lack thereof) and individual needs, which I greatly appreciated. My place was so clean when I returned, it was almost as if she wasn't even here! Thank you, Claire!

Brenay took wonderful care of my senior Pomeranian, Mickey, while I was away for a few days. Mickey has a few special needs due to his age, and she was very attentive, patient, and caring with him throughout the stay. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including using his stroller on walks and checking on him during the night to make sure he was comfortable. She also sent me updates and photos, and it was clear that she treated Mickey with a lot of kindness and affection. On top of that, she took great care of my home as well and left everything very clean and tidy, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely trust her to watch Mickey again in the future. Thank you again, Brenay!

Julie was the best sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home to watch our beloved pup for almost two weeks. She provided updates every day, great photos, followed all instructions, coordinated with our neighbors, and left our home nice and clean. On top of that, we left for our wedding, and she even joined our Zoom so our pup could be a part of the wedding. Julie is a gem and recommend to anyone!!

Nuraini is the absolute best!! She was available last minute when I needed a dog sitter and came in and loved my dog like her own! She’s very communicative sends plenty of pictures of your fur baby to keep you up to date and she even sat and played with my dog after walks and check ins! I would book Nuraini everytime I need a sitter she really cares about animals and did what she could to make sure my fur baby was comfortable and warmed up to her. 100000/10!!
