1. Diana & Jeremy P.


“Jeremy’s wife Diana came to sit our 5 month old puppy Henry while we were out for a long day. She has such great energy and he took to her right away. She kept him happy and active, even on a doggy play date. He definitely got all of his energy out and it was nice to know he was in good hands while we were out. We’ll definitely book again!”


2. Peter B.
“Pete has always been reliable, kind, flexible, and professional while watching my pets. Very few people I've met have this level of dedication and commitment to providing the best possible experience to me and my animals - highly recommend this caregiver!”


3. Mckenna W.

“Mckenna is FANTASTIC!!! This was the first time we were leaving our little kitty for so long, (over two weeks) and I was nervous! But Mckenna set all my concerns at ease. She sent daily photos and videos, watered my plants, and left the house in perfect condition. FIVE STARS!!! I highly recommended Mckenna for all your pet sitting needs!”


4. Brianna F.
“Brianna is a close friend that I met through work a few years ago. We immediately became friends, I saw she was a thoughtful person with a positive outlook. She is kind to animals and people alike. Brianna enjoys hikes in nature, boating and caring for her variety of plants. She is a friend I can always count on. I would absolutely recommend her caring for your loved pets.”


5. Shelby R.
“I highly recommend Shelby. My pets adore her and are always so happy to see her. It makes me feel good to know when I am away how excited they are for their outings with Shelby. She gives them so much attention and texts with updates. I trust her 100% to take care of my furr babies!”


6. Kerri E.

“Kerri was great! The animals loved her! She updated me and let me know how the animals were doing frequently which I really appreciate! Thank you so much!”


7. Helena D.
“Helena has taken care of my cat and rabbit multiple times while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with her services. My cat absolutely loves her, and it’s clear that she has a genuine affection for animals. Helena did a fantastic job, providing them with the care and attention they needed. Because of her, I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worries, knowing that my pets were in the best of hands. I highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated petsitter!”


8. Skylar S.
“Skylar has had a few family dogs since birth. She was always loving and took care of them. She loves to go for walks and hikes with them. Skylar has taken our dog to the vet when necessary. She would take care of your fur baby too!”


9. Tim T.

“Tim IS the best dog sitter a dog parent could ever ask for. My dog has the best time with him!! They went for tons of walks, he took them to play with other dogs, and to the dog beach so my pups had a blast!! He was also communicating with me throughout the whole day. Seriously, he is the best, your doggie would love him!!”

“Toni was so fantastic watching our dog and house during her week stay. Very communicative, respectful, and I know our Molly was in great hands! Peace of mind for when you’re away from your home and fur baby :)”


11. Angelique C.

“Angelique and her boyfriend Pete were excellent! I needed help with my sweet little kitty who does not like to be alone for a last minute trip out of town, and Angelique and Pete made me feel super comfortable, sent lots of snuggle photos, and took care of my house and my little lady perfectly! Looking forward to continuing my relationship with them for future house/pet sitting needs! Would highly recommend this duo to any pet owner.”


12. Diane H.
“Diane has watched our beloved diva, Freya, many times. I’m hesitant to let Freya stay in boarding because she gets anxious when stuck in a kennel all day. When she stays with Diane I know she gets the physical and emotional care she needs. I always put my trust in Diane to take care of Freya because of Diane’s sweet heart, patience and peaceful nature.”


13. Jason B.

“Jason and his fiancee Leah were amazing with our dogs, including our new dog who is by no means the easiest! Will definitely use him again.”


14. Sara W.
About: Well, just like cats, I've always had dogs since I was very young and I've had very large dogs like Rottweiler, Doberman, even small puppies I'm currently working part-time some days in the mornings others in the afternoons so I have time to walk the pets but if it's about staying with them I have no problem going to be with them I am currently offering a walker service and to be able to take care of him at home. In my house I have two dogs and a cat they all get along, I have their separate rooms their large beds because my dogs are big and my cat is always with me so sometimes she sleeps with me or in her bed I give them homemade food like barf with some cookies


15. Alena G.

“Alena was amazing with Falkor and the cats! She sent regular updates and videos. Highly recommend her if your looking for trustworthy and great with animals.”


16. Lisa G.
“This is a great option for your dog to be loved and spoiled. We just needed 2 days. She was especially caring and loving of dogs as if they are her own. She had great knowledge and understanding of the care needed. Most importantly our doggy was happy and and comfortable.”


17. Leah S.
“Leah has been watching Dakota for me for 4 years now and is the best!!!! Dakota loves her and I love being able to go out of town without worrying about if she’s being taken care of properly. Leah is the only person I trust to watch Dakota, I cannot recommend her enough!!!”


18. Andrew E.

“Andrew stayed in our house with our two dogs. He left the house very clean, took care of minor things like trash day and was very friendly and respectful. The dogs were happy to see us when we returned but they also were playing with Andrew - they really liked him. He sent us pictures of our pups cuddling and happy out for walks.”


19. Vivian S.

“Vivian is one amazing dog sitter! Koda loved her instantly. The responsiveness and reliability was refreshing as it hasn’t been easy to find a good sitter. She didn’t even let a crazy May snowstorm stop her from showing up! She’s also very sweet and respectful. You can tell right away that she’s a dog person and I felt like Koda was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


20. Mary M.
“Mary has been one of the best dog walkers we've had. Our boxer, George, always gets so excited to see her, and she ensures he has a fun and enjoyable walk every time. It's such a relief knowing we can trust her to take great care of him, whether we're at work or need extra help on weekends. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
