“Jack was spectacular! We are so grateful for such a great experience this weekend. Our dog, Ted, was not just well taken care of but so happy from Jack’s visits. Better than we could ever expect.”


4. Julia L.

“Julia was great at caring for our pups. She did an hour long drop in and made sure they had some time outside and our pup was not in his kennel while my wife was working. Thank you for taking care of them and helping us out.”


5. Viva L.

“Absolutely wonderful! Viva is attentive, kind, considerate and takes my puppy for great, engaging walks! My puppy loves her and enjoys the walk break while I’m at work. Viva takes pictures and videos of my puppy that I love receiving!! 10/10 would recommend her for any dog walking needs :)”

8. Jayson M.

“Jayson is awesome. I very much looked forward to the detailed descriptions and pictures after each kitty visit. We knew our cats were in good hands with how kind, patient, and thorough Jayson is. I think I made a comment at our meet and greet about every review being 5 stars… as I add another 5 star review. :) Thanks Jayson!”


9. Carrie C.

“We left our 1 year old dog and cat in Carrie's care. Our little puppy instantly felt comfortable with Carrie at the very first meet and greet. After interviewing over 6 people prior, we instantly knew that she was the one to care for our girls. The daily pics we received showing our babies healthy and happy made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation away from home. We would definitely recommend Carrie and will continue to use her in the future :).”


10. Andrew L.


“We couldn’t be happier with Andrew as our cat sitter!! He was incredibly thoughtful and took such great care of our cat, Apollo. We felt completely safe and comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. 10/10 would highly recommend Andrew to anyone in need of a cat sitter! 😊”


11. Madison C.

“Another smooth weekend of drop-ins with Madison! We'll continue to rebook and would recommend due to great communication and professionalism.”


12. Carla H.
“Carly is wonderful pet care provider. She loves all animals and is very kind hearted and caring towards their needs. She always makes sure that your dog gets the attention and play time that they need so they can enjoy their time while you're away. She is patient, compassionate and is very responsible. Even if you need her for a short time period, your dog will quickly warm up to her. All around, she is an outstanding dog caregiver. One of the bests out there!”


13. Devon K.

“Devon was wonderful with Gizmo! She made sure he was fed and safe, and took time to play with him and give him lots of love while I was away so he didn't feel too lonely. She sent great pictures from her visits too! I would hire her again in a heartbeat and can't recommend her enough. If you want someone to take care of your pet's emotional needs as well as physical ones, Devon is perfect!”


14. Laura L.
“Laura is an animal lover who I have trusted with my fur babies on countless occasions over many years. She is professional, dependable, honest, and I highly recommend her!”


15. Madilyn G.
“Madilyn has worked at our farm on and off for over 5 years. She is always willing to communicate and do the job. Beyond that she genuinely loves animals. Here she took care of feeding, cleaning, watering, some basic vet care of almost any farm animal you can think of. I would highly recommend Madilyn to pet sit for you, she will care for your animal as if it were her own!”


16. Annie G.

“Annie was great, sent us updates everyday on our two cats. They seemed very happy and content when we returned home. Everything went smoothly. Would not hesitate to ask Annie to catsuit again in the future and would definitely recommend!”


17. Maggie B.

“Maggie is awesome! Before I left, I warned them that they probably wouldn’t see much of my cat Fern, as she’s wary of new people. But not only did Maggie make Fern feel safe enough to come out of her hiding spot, they also got her to play with them and get some pets! I was pretty nervous leaving Fern for a few days, but after Maggie’s first check in with her, I knew she was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie as a pet sitter, and I hope to use their services again in the future!”


18. Ann L.

“Annie is the best! She took great care of our dog, Hank. He loves going on walks with her, and we appreciate being updated while we’re away. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dog walker.”


19. Ryan M.

“Ryan has always had dogs in his life, whether his own or those entrusted to his care. He loves them and they love him. They know he is always up for a long walk, playtime, or a cuddle—it’s heartwarming to see how they interact.”


20. Lauren M.

“While on vacation our young pup wouldn’t stop crying when she was left alone in our beach rental. Lauren was able to help watch her the very next morning. So responsive! So sweet! So punctual! I can’t say enough good things about Lauren!”
