Amy did an excellent job watching our dog Buddy and our home. She was very thoughtful with her questions during the meet and greet and very responsive throughout. Our house looked great when we got home. I would highly recommend

Jackiellen has been perfect for us every step of the way! She's an excellent communicator, flexible and accommodating, kind and considerate. She made the whole process super easy and worry-free. And maybe most importantly, she has a very natural connection with our dog and cat, from the first moments they met. We felt super confident leaving our animals in her care and will absolutely call her again. She asked good questions to be sure she was clear on everything needed. She took great photos and sent just the right amount of updates while we were away. She took great care of our home, leaving it even neater than she found it. Honestly, I can't recommend Jackiellen enough.

Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!

Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.

Josh was a fantastic dog-sitter and went above and beyond making sure our dog was happy while we were gone. He also shared plenty of updates, photos and videos. He was very quick to respond to texts and we will definitely ask him to watch Odin the next time we need to.

I'm so glad I found Abby to watch my dog, she is absolutely the best! My dog is very shy and he warmed up to Abby instantly. He had so much fun playing and cuddling up with her and going for fun walks on the trail. I felt so much more at ease on my overnight knowing he was under Abby's care. She is gifted with animals and a wonderful person and I give her my highest recommendation <3

Bryan is just what I have been searching for in a dog sitter! I have a complex crew of 3 rescue dogs, all different ages with some minor typical rescue pup issues. At our meet and greet it was clear my dogs trusted him, and after their weekend together even my more challenging and slow to warm up pittie had given in! He’s great with them and was awesome with communication and updates, a very respectful house guest and the best dog sitter! We will definitely be using his great services again soon!! Thanks so much for taking such great care of my fur babies!!

Thank you, Lindsay! We could tell the dogs were in good hands from the first meet and greet, and that was confirmed with the daily updates and pictures where our fur babies looked so happy and relaxed. We really appreciate it. We have two dogs and a cat, all of whom would probably not do well in a boarding kennel situation while we are out of town. Lindsay seemed to tune into their energy and reservations right away and clearly has experience with dogs other than the perfectly behaved kind. She stayed at our house with them and communicated with us frequently so we knew how things were going. Lindsay left our place tidy and clean and we are so grateful to have found her! Thanks again, Lindsay!

Elizabeth house/dog sat for us on short notice due to a family emergency. It was her usual outstanding service with a clean house and happy dog! She even endured the March '17 blizzard without complaint. I am so grateful for her help.

Daniel did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and the house for 3 days. One of the dogs was sick and needed several medications which he stayed on top of. Communication was also top notch and he left the house clean and organized. Will definitely ask him back next time I need a house sitter!

Katey Blevens was my pet sitter for several years. I had some very old, very sick animals. She was always professional and was very good at caring for my old, ill animals. When I got a younger dog, she took him to the dog park, on long walks and to play dates and training classes on her own, with my permission, of course. We all miss her because she was so dependable and loved our animals as if they were her own. She is 100% trustworthy. Your pets will thank you!

Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.

Madilyn was great with our two anxious pups! (and chickens) She went above and beyond to care for our animals while we were out of town, and made us feel very comfortable by sending updates throughout her stay. We appreciate how professional and reliable she is! Would definitely trust her with our animals anytime. Thanks!

In a word, Savannah has been "GREAT" with our precious puppy. We would leave town for a few days at a time, and Savannah would stay in our home and provide the same kind of love and care to our dog, that we would. At no time were we concerned about our dog's well-being, particularly because our dog had a special diet, and a long list of medications that needed precise, twice-daily administration. I would recommend Savannah COMPLETELY, and without reservation.
