1. Clarissa D.

“Clarissa did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! She did a quick meet and greet a few days prior to our scheduled overnight stay. This helped to ensure our pets were familiar with her and to review the feeding & potty break schedule. During the stay Clarissa sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated with how everything was going. It was so nice to have that extra sense of ease while we were away. Highly recommend booking with Clarissa if you want a professional and reliable sitter to take care of your pets that will also treat them as their own!”




2. Johana M.

“Awesome! I had Johana stay at my house for the weekend and came home to a clean house and happy animals! Will definitely be using Johana again! She gave me peace of mind while away from my babies”


3. Scott T.

“Scott was absolutely wonderful both with our Amos, and our home. We got plants of photos and updates for Amos’ activity and daily happenings, and Scott was quick to respond if ever we needed anything. Scott must be a dog whisperer of sorts, because our Amos had zero issues with us leaving (he ate, did not pace at all, settled and napped per usual, and slept all night, and even cuddled with Scott!).. which is exactly what we were hoping for! We 100% would recommend Scott and will be relying on him again for any of our house/pet sitting needs.”


4. Crystal G.


“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Crystal! She took such wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our Frenchie while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and she treated our pup like her own, giving us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily, which made being away so much easier. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!”

7. Scarlett M.

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”


8. Hampton S.

“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”

14. Andromeda M.
About: I’ve had 2 family dogs a poodle and terrier. I now have 2 pitbulls a brindle and the other is a big pit mixed with lab that was rescued :) I work remotely and have plenty of free time for myself. I’m looking for extra work to save money and thought this was the perfect opportunity since I love dogs! I have been an athlete as a kid and now I weightlift and do tons of cardio so walking dogs will be more like a fun activity for me to do and I enjoy watching my pits playing.


15. Kayley L.
“Kayley lives for the animals. All she wants to do is make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. Honestly the animals in her home are probably taken care of before she takes care of herself.”


16. Renee F.

“Renee is wonderful! My 3 dogs instantly loved her and she was great about sharing photos and updates while she was house sitting with the pups. 🐶 She is courteous, prompt, and I look forward to booking with her again!”


17. Gypsy G.

18. Matthew M.
“Matthew has cared for our very active Aussie and our cats on several occasions, including extended trips. He is super courteous and accommodating. He lets us know how the pets are doing and sends pictures of them. He is great with the animals and they really like him. Highly recommend!”
