1. Jasper M.

“I don't know where to begin - Jasper was a phenomenal sitter for my pup, Hershey. Jasper made time to meet Hershey beforehand her sitting days to ensure that each of us would be comfortable with the arrangement. Over the course of the week I was away, Jasper made sure to keep me updated about everything that was happening with Hershey by sending messages, and pictures throughout the day everyday. I appreciated Jasper’w positive attitude, patience, and willingness to work with Hershey through her anxiety and anxiousness from being in a new environment and around a new person. There is no doubt in my mind that Hershey was well taken care of. Jasper is the perfect sitter if you're looking for someone who is going to spend time with your dog, give them attention, send you updates/communicate, and be flexible and willing to work with you and your schedule as well as emergencies that may arise. I highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again! - Tynesha (Hershey's Mommy)”


2. Sierra Y.

“Sierra has dog sat in our home several times and it’s always been a fantastic experience. She’s a great communicator, provides daily updates/pictures and follows any guidelines given. Our pups love her.”


3. Vinnie N.

“Vinnie is a fantastic sitter! He stayed with our dog Andy while we were gone for nearly 3 weeks. He sent lots of photos, daily updates, and went above and beyond staying with Andy during Halloween and Diwali celebrations since Andy is afraid of fireworks. He took great care of our house as well. Knowing Andy was in good hands with Vinnie allowed us to fully relax on our trip. We recommend him 1000% and will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Monique was wonderful. She stayed at our home and cared for our two older dogs and one cat with very little notice when we had to make a last minute trip out of town.
