“Lee did an amazing job caring for our dog and cat while we were away. She took great care of our home as well. We received regular updates and pictures throughout. 5 stars!!”
2. Marlowe M.
“Marlowe was great with our dog Boone and our cat Luna! We searched a long time to find the right overnight sitter for our 10 year old lab because we had not left him with anyone before. Marlowe is the perfect sitter for him! We came home to a very happy pup! Her attention to detail and level of care matched ours and we couldn't be happier to find a repeat sitter!”
3. Bryan G.
“Bryan was a wonderful house guest, he kept my mind at ease about leaving my pets at home through lots of updates. We came back to a clean home and happy pets. Would recommend for house and pet sitting!”
4. Oli L.
“Oli is wonderful! Our pups need special care (one is a blind tripawd and the other wears shoes for all outings) and Oli did an excellent job caring for them - keeping up with all of their special needs, medications, and of course giving them lots of love.”
5. Caitlin G.
“Caitlin house sat for us for 3 days and I don't think my younger dog, Hunter, wanted her to leave! He loves to play fetch and Caitlin kept him entertained! Everything was great while we were gone and the house was neat and clean when we got home. We will definitely be using Caitlin again in the future. I am pretty sure Hunter is begging us to go somewhere soon so she will come back!”

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”
7. Kim S.
“Kim was fantastic! I have an older dog with diabetes and she was amazing with him! She was respectful of our house during her stay, and took care of our animals as if they were her own. She provided plenty of photos and updates so I was assured of the good care she was providing!! Very much happy with her service!”
8. Chelsea J.
“Chelsea was awesome! Kiyomi is usually timid and cautious of people but warmed up to Chelsea quickly. We were gone for 10 days and returned home to a happy cat and well kept home. Will definitly be a repeat customer!”
9. Steven K.
“Steven did a great job keeping us informed and keeping our pups happy. He did a final energy burn in the backyard before leaving to help them stay calm until we returned. We will definitely be working with him in the future!”

“10/10 so happy we found Jojo! She was so great with our anxious dog and cat. She really took the time to stay with them and work with our dog until our dog felt safe! We are so thankful!”
11. Hope F.
“Hope was incredible with our two dogs during our family Va vacation. One of our dogs even had issues with separation anxiety, and Hope did awesome caring for our boy and easing my worries while we were away. She was also a great houseguest as we could barely tell anyone was staying at the house. She was so clean, and considerate- took out her trash and kept the house so clean. We’re so grateful for Hope, and impressed by her. She genuinely loves animals and it shows in how she takes care of them! Such a wonderful person and doggie nanny! 💕”
12. jordan g.
“Jordan was great! She communicated well. She was responsible and best of all my Bear loves her! He’s picky with people so the fact that he loves her speaks volumes! I would hire her again without hesitation.”
13. Sarah B.
“Sarah did an amazing job. I am extremely overprotective and type A about my pets and their schedule and she was amazing. She gave my pets a ton of affection, she administered their medications, she maintained our tidy home and we came home to happy pets and a clean living space, and she sent daily updates with pictures and videos like she said she would. She arrived on time and left at the planned time. We would absolutely hire Sarah again. Our dog is actually searching for her!”
14. Bailey H.
“Wonderful experience for Forrest and Rainbow! The care, love and attention that Bailey gave was perfect for our companion buddies. Will definitely use again when need arises!”
15. Victor S.
“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”
16. Jp B.
“JP was awesome! She was extremely communicative and laid back which was great for us. She came and met our dogs twice before staying with them which I so appreciated and was so patient with both of them. Both of our dogs have their own weird quirks and JP immediately made us feel at ease. We felt extremely comfortable while on our trip and she left the house spotless! Will definitely be rebooking her.”
17. Moises P.
“Moises was wonderful! He was available short notice, and really put my mind at ease, when some unplanned obstacles came up in work travel. He was very punctual, attentive, and communicative throughout the house sit, and obviously an animal lover as my pets took to him with ease. Would definitely recommend him in the future and book will book him again.”
18. Tess W.
“Tess was excellent, book her!!! This was the first time leaving our new baby only (10 weeks old) we were super nervous at first but Cali our dobie puppy loved Tess right away when she met her. I was hesitant at first due to Tess only having one review but after reading her bio I was comfortable, she has foster puppies before, and even worked at a shelter! She came and watched our Cali in our home as is extremely trustworthy! We will be booking her again for all our needs!”
19. Laura K.

20. Bree K.
“Sent pictures daily and seemed to connect easily with Smitty, who frequently is shy and withdrawn. Smitty looked relaxed and happy. Great communicative communication and very reliable. Will hire again.”
