1. Katy M.
“I can’t say enough good things about Katy! She took amazing care of my 4-month-old puppy, and even though she’s a bit shy around other dogs, she really warmed up quickly. Her own dogs were incredibly friendly and helped put my pup at ease. After just an hour, Fiona was doing great with them! Her home is so cozy, and it’s clear she creates a loving environment for pets. My puppy had such a great time, and we will definitely be back. Thank you, Katy, for your wonderful care!”

7. Gabriela D.
“I have known Gabriela since she was a kid, and she has always been very responsible, not only with pets but with all aspects of her life. I have three dogs, and whenever I was going to be out of town or whenever I couldn't take them on walks because of work, I would have her do it. She deeply loves dogs, and she will care for them as they are hers. I have never had any complaints.”
8. Rebecca B.
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a long daytrip for work. She sent photos of him throughout the day and he really seemed to enjoy his day hanging out with her. Ozzy gives his stay five stars!”
9. Elliott & Jenna J.
“Always easy leaving Junebug with Elliot and Jenna, she is always happy there. Excellent care! Thank you as always!”
10. Christina W.
“I would trust Christina in all aspects of my dog care needs. From home sitting, walking, to boarding and everything in between. I have two dogs who are on the opposite ends of the age spectrum. Brooke is 10 years old and Ellie was 9 months when Christina was walking them. She was able to give both dogs the attention and specific care they needed for their ages. She walked my dogs 6 days a week from the office I worked at, and my dogs absolutely adored their time with her. She was always very punctual, upbeat, and so so loving towards my babies. I got sent tons of pictures from their walks and play time too! She truly cares and loves what she does and it really reflects in the care my dogs received from her. If I'm ever in the area again she will be the person I go back to!”
11. Melissa M.
“We’ve sent our puppy for “daycare” to Melissa a handful of times now. We can tell she really loves working with dogs and Finn loves his days there. There’s usually at least one other dog for him to play with, plus lots of attention from the people, so he’s in heaven. He comes home happy and ready for a long nap. We love the updates she sends! At least 1-2 cute videos/pictures every day.”
12. Reed & Natalie N.
“Natalie is incredibly self-possessed, which creates a sense a calmness around her that Greta reacted to right away. From all the updates she sent, I could tell my girl was relaxed and just being welcomed to be herself. It was clear from the photos provided that Natalie was getting right on her level and that Greta felt secure. I was late droping-off and picking up, but Natalie was so flexible, which I greatly appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greta get even more comfortable there, and it just felt like the right fit. I really trusted that Natalie would use good judgement if any issues were to arise, and they actually live a couple doors down from a vet. I could tell Natalie was confident in this role, my dog felt safe and cared for, and I could enjoy my time knowing that she was in capable hands. Greta was so calm when I picked her up, when normally she seems a little frantic to be back with me (even at my mom's)-- if you're looking for a chill place for your pet to feel at ease, this is it. Natalie also asked a lot of important questions when I dropped off Greta which made it clear she was thinking ahead and trying to create an environment that my girl could be happy in. I'm so appreciative of Natalie's considerate approach.”
13. Melissa D.
“A dog friendly house and yard ... And a playful friend dog! Our high energy Setter had a great time at her dog play date.”
14. Rosemarie D.
“Rosemarie has cared for my dogs before and was fantastic. She often sent pictures of my dogs while I was away which was wonderful and very thoughtful. Her dogs were great with my dogs which was nice. Rosemarie is always my first contact when looking for a pet sitter, she’d be a great fit for this.”
15. Ryan T K.
“Ryan is incredible! She loves animals and demonstrates that through the individualized care she gives each pet she meets. My Golden has a lot of energy and Ryan has met that with walks, games of fetch, and dropping in while I’m at work to make sure my pup gets the love she needs. Ryan has also been great with my cat, who can be more reserved. She was patient with him and gave him the space he needed at first. Now he loves to play and cuddle with her when she visits. I’m so glad I found Ryan and my pets are happier for it. I highly recommend her services. Your pets will thank you!”
16. Kelly E.
“Kelly is amazing with all animals. She provides caring and compassionate care. I would recommend her as your pet caregiver! She provides the best care and all animals love her!”
17. Sarah H.
“Sarah was so great with our boy. He came home exhausted and happy! She was so helpful when we were looking for a last minute sitter and sent updates while we were gone. We would definitely book with her again!”
18. Alison P.
“Absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s really great and our dog loves her. Definitely recommend”
19. Jordan M.
“Was a last minute booking and she was able to watch Mason for us and took great care of him. Would definitely use her again!”
20. Kathryn R.
“Kathryn is wonderful with our dog, cats, and rabbits! She is above all loving and enthusiastic about spending time with our babies. Our dog JoJo is usually very anxious with petsitters but when we return home after Kathryn babysits, she is always calm and happy. We can leave all our babies feeling certain they will be as well cared for as if we were home with them.”
