“Mariah did a great job taking care of Willow and our house. Her and her family were great and we felt so much less anxious knowing that our pet was in such great care.”
2. Aimee P.
“Very patient and caring with two elderly dogs and my German shepherd mix! Kept me updated every day and kept them active. Went above and beyond for the duration of the stay by taking great care of the house and I appreciate all the help!”
3. Elisabeth H.
“Liz is absolutely lovely and really took care of our Cosmo! She is respectful, attentive, and a great communicator. She asked great questions and made both us and Cosmo feel comfortable. Wonderful all around experience!”
4. Sophie P.
“Sophie was a cat sitter and house sitter for us, and I can't think of any area in which she did not prove to be excellent! She was pleasant and professional, her communications were good, she gave us daily updates on how our pet was doing, including cool pictures, and she left the house in better condition than she found it. We absolutely intend to use her again and would give her six stars if the rating system went that high!”
5. Jeanne F.
“We have known Jeanne for 15 years. She is honest and reliable. Jeanne has stayed at our home with our pets on multiple occasions over the last 6 years, for as long as three weeks. Everything has always gone perfectly, including and especially- happy pets! Jeanne communicates well and reaches out if she has questions or concerns. She is kind and loving with our pets and follows all food, treat and medicine instructions carefully. I highly recommend Jeanne to care for your dog(s)!”
6. Vivian K.
“Vivian is a delight. She quickly made friends with our little boy, Quincy. She took excellent care of Quincy and our home. I would not hesitate to request her in the future or to recommend her enthusiastically. She is a perfect fit for this job.”
7. Ariel B.
“We are so grateful to have found Ariel! Our dog and cat are "selective" and haven't been happy with other sitters or walkers we've tried. But they both adore Ariel! Ariel has walked our 100-lb dog many times, and we have also had her housesit. She is very responsible, dependable, and trustworthy. I'm a total worrier normally, but I never worried once during our last trip. With Ariel's background as a vet tech and doggy daycare worker, I know our pets are in the best hands while we're away.”
8. Gabriel H.
“Gabriel was fantastic! After several attempts at a house sitter and watching our two dogs, one of them large, Gabriel took the stress off of us during our vacation. Great communication, lots of pictures, and the house was well cared for. Highly recommend Gabriel!!!”
9. Jhian D.
“5 stars isn’t enough to express how great Jhian & Joseph are! Our pup got more than sitters, she got a family. A family that welcomed her as part of their pack. They genuinely put her needs first by prioritizing her comfort and care. They sent daily updates with pics and videos that brought us so much joy during our time away. She was literally SMILING ear to ear in every pic and wagging her tail in every video. Peace of mind for your pet and home while away is priceless. With Jhian & Joseph, your fur baby will feel like they got a vacation too! 🥰 I am so grateful and look forward to the next time!”
10. Samantha N.
“Samantha has been taking care of my dog Bailey for over 7 years. She's loving and caring and sensative to Bailey who gets a bit anxious when I'm not here! She's stayed over several nights while I've been traveling. She's always responsible and keeps me updated how Bailey is doing. Completely trust having her in my home and caring for my furry baby!”
11. Dorothy S.
“Dorothy was great with our rambunctious puppy! She followed safety precautions due to COVID. We got the cutest pictures throughout the day of Cora. Dorothy was respectful and took great care of Cora and our house. I would definitely recommend Dorothy!”
12. Kayle C.
“Kayle is one of the most kind, loving, and responsible people I know! She has an incredible way with animals and has taken exceptional care of both my cat and dog. Whether it's taking my dog on walks or making sure my cat is comfortable, she always goes above and beyond! There is nobody I trust more than Kayle to watch my pets!”

“Tyler and Sam were great! They took great care of our dog, were respectful of our home, and were very communicative. When we got home our dog was a happy boy and our house was spotless. Would be happy to book them again!”

18. Valerie C.
About: I raised my lagotto romagnolo from 12 weeks to 3 1/2 years when she died suddenly of horrible pancreatic cancer in March :( I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own, but I welcome the opportunity to get my fill of snuggles and walks/runs/hikes with other sweet dogs. My home is quiet and loving, and I’m very active. My partner has a 6yo 50% of the time. I work from home, up early every morning. On weekends, I like to be outside for longer walks/hikes/runs. Very tidy so don’t love a lot of shedding at my house. Backyard is fully fenced in and I used to leave the sliding door open for my dog during the day. My dog was crated until about 1.5 years, then I just left the crate door open - will do whatever the owner prefers.
19. Yaxeli T.
“Such a sweet and reliable girl. Came into town for the night and needed someone to watch my dog, was a little nervous not being from the are and all, but as soon as she walked in the door I felt at ease. She did such a great job! Would definitely use her all the time if I lived in the area!”
