“We booked Kate for a weekend for our 3 dogs. She spent a bunch of time during the initial meet and greet and literally pet our dogs the entire time. We received short updates and pictures of our dogs looking really relaxed. Everything went well and we will be booking with Kate in the future.”

“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”


“Joan was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She sent us pictures everyday while we were out of town. She was a very good communicator and made sure that she understood Sophia's daily routine when she came for the meet-and-greet. When we got home the house was exactly as we left it. We would highly recommend Joan as a dog/house sitter!”

“Isabel did an amazing job watching my dog for a week. He was so happy and I got a lot of updates during the week. She also took good care of our home and left it clean and spotless. Will definitely book her again.”

“We have trusted Rachel to watch our pups multiple times and she continues to amaze us. Our puppies always look so comfortable in the pictures she sends us and are always worn out by the time we get home. We just got back from a 4 day trip and never had to worry. She’s the best!!”


“If you use Nate understand that your pets may not be as excited that you came home because they have had such a good time with him! Nate is a good communicator. He provides updates but also just special notes about engaging with each pet (we have 3 cats and 1 dog), which is really nice. In addition to treating the pets well, he also did so with our home. Thanks, Nate!”

“Lori was absolutely amazing!! She was super communicative and considerate of our and our pets needs while she house sat for us over a long weekend. The pets were so happy and healthy when we got back and she kept our house very clean and tidy for us too! I would very highly recommend Lori for any pet care needs!”

“So grateful to Jordan's thoughtfulness! Being apart from my pup is incredibly challenging for me, but knowing that he's being taken care of by someone who really understands and cares about dogs has helped alleviate so much of my anxiety! Jordan is very communicative about expectations and genuinely wants to know as much information as possible about pet and their unique needs/likes. Thank you so much, Jordan!!”

“Jylesha is amazing. She is communicative and works with you to make sure your pets are loved and taken care of. Whenever she stays over watching the pets she makes sure to clean up after herself so your pets are happy and the place is clean when you return.”

“Dawn did a fantastic job. Dogs were very happy and she communicated very well (photos and videos) even though I was without access to check. Will DEFINITELY use her again.”

“John was great! Super accommodating when I had a work trip. Odin seemed so happy to have a new friend. Would certainly recommend John and will be using him in the future! John you rock!!!”

“This was our second stay with Charize, 9 days over Christmas! She did great with ocasional check ins, sent tons of adorable photos, and most importantly, never got annoyed with my never ending requests. Our return flight was delayed by a day and at the last minute she was able to stay another night. Can’t recommend Charize enough!”

“Autumn is fantastic! Super responsive, friendly, and accommodating. We felt like our dog was in capable, professional hands while we were away. Couldn’t recommend her more”

“This was the first time we’ve ever left our dogs and our house to somebody we didn’t know, so of course we had our apprehensions, and Cayla went above and beyond for us. We had a family member cancel on us only 4 days before vacation, and Cayla was able to accommodate us and our dogs with only 3 days notice, after we exhausted all of our other resources. She was very communicative during her stay, updated us with pictures, and even fixed the bathroom vanity handle that I forgot to put a screw back in before vacation. We came home to very well cared for dogs, and a house that was cleaner than it was before we left. We are beyond satisfied with her services, and we would love to have her back in the future!”

“I was very anxious to leave my pup with someone because he’s only ever been watched by family and can be a bit sassy but Sarah took great care of him and I felt very comfortable with her watching him!”

“Truly amazing! We were able to book him last minute after our sitter fell through right before our wedding. He had all three of our pups with their varying personalities at ease. He had great updates and is an all around kind person. He’s exactly who you want watching your pets!!!”
