Natalie is awesome. She watched our senior cat and gave him meds and he even came out of hiding to greet her. Plus kept our crazy doodle happy. Lots of feedback and pictures. Booking her again before someone else beats us to it!!

Ian was really great! Cormac has always taken a minute to warm up to people, but I did not expect him to take several days. Ian was amazing and patient with Cormac, he really did not push and made sure to communicate with me and make sure he was doing best by Cormac. Honestly, my only expectation because of Cormacs shyness was that he kept Cormac fed and walked. But Ian still went above and beyond, my first walk with Cormac was probably one of the easiest post sitter walks that I have been on. Without having to be told it was obvious that Ian followed all of cormacs on leash protocol. Could not have been more happy.

I cannot recommend Primrose enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my dog. Not only was she incredibly attentive and loving with my pup, but she also did my laundry and left my apartment spotless. I came home to a clean, cozy space and a very, very happy pup. In fact, my dog was more excited to see Primrose than me when I walked through the door—which says everything you need to know about the bond they built over the week! It was clear they'd become best buddies, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Primrose also sent me adorable daily photos and updates of Lil while I was gone and was incredibly responsive. If you're lucky enough to book her, do it—your pet (and your home) will thank you!

Mason was so wonderful with our senior dog. He stopped by twice—once for a meet and greet and once the day of the sitting to review the loads of information needed to appropriately care for our dog. Mason communicated multiple times per day, never hesitated to ask a question when needed and always let us know our dog was in safe hands. Our house was left in great condition and we came home to a happy pup. Would highly recommend Mason!

Dale took great care of our older dog who stops eating, refuses to go outside and withdraws when we are away. Dale watched her for 3 days and was patient and kind. She was able to coax her out for potty breaks and short walks. She was calm with our dog, who responds well to that. Dale was great with communication too. Thank you Dale!

Marriah is simply incredible at caring for high-needs pets. This was my first experience using an app for an overnight in-home house-sitter for my 14yo yorkie. Our dog has a strict prescription diet for cushings disease and requires gentle, attentive and near constant care. Marriah was professional, cheerful, patient and supportive throughout the 8 days she stayed with our little old lady. I was amazed how Marriah hand fed our dog and got her comfortable and eating again even while she was moping and sad from being left behind. Marriah sent so many pictures and updates on how our girl was doing and I felt so safe leaving my smallest family member in her hands. She is worth every dollar and I would recommend Marriah to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate caregiver for any kind of service from walks to overnight care. We will definitely ask for her again!

Olivia is amazing on every level! She is professional, knowledgeable and is an excellent communicator. She is extraordinarily caring with our dog Ellie, who has had a number of health issues and suffers from separation anxiety. Olivia has worked with Ellie after knee surgery, managing Ellie’s limitations and medications with great care. Now that Ellie has recovered, Olivia has worked with Ellie on her anxiety issues by inventing games and bringing puzzles to distract her. To top it off, Olivia is an excellent photographer! We always get lovely photos of Ellie’s time with Olivia. In other words, Olivia is a gem!
