1. David L.

“David was great. We used his service for a day while we were skiing with the family. We have two dogs and one is a 32 week old puppy that is a little anxious. David contact us and let us know has was anxious and we suggested a few strategies that seemed to work.”


2. Eric K.

“We recently had Eric come over and check in on our dogs while we were out of the country and we couldn’t be happier with his services! When he first came over to meet us and the pups, he brought a notebook and was very thorough in making sure he had all the details he needed. While we were out of town, he provided us with updates and pictures every single day! Our dogs loved him and it was so great knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Eric for any of your pet sitting needs!!”


3. Cam L.

“Cam once again was an outstanding house and dog sitter! Communication is always excellent, and Cam treats our pup and our home with great care. We couldn’t be happier!”


4. Mo F.

“We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!”


5. Julie-Anne D.

“Julie-Anne was an excellent dog sitter. She communicated very well. Sent photos & gave us up dates. She stayed at our house & gave our dogs love & snuggles. We will use Julie-Anne again.”


6. Jennifer B.

“Thanks to Jennifer, we went away for the weekend and didn’t have to worry ONCE about our dog or our apartment! She gave us plenty of updates and photos, and was so caring toward our pup—infact she even went above and beyond and got her a ball since we had mentioned ours went missing recently. How thoughtful! Honey was so happy and calm when we returned. Thank you Jennifer!!”


7. Jen H.

“When we met prior to the booking our two dogs took to her immediately. Jen stayed with them for a week. She sent photos and videos which we truly appreciated as we knew our girls were given the best attention while we were away. This was our first time away and leaving the dogs with a stranger. Turns out Jen was more like a family member. We would definitely contact Jen again for any future sitting needs. Thanks Jen. We and the girls loved your time with them. Lou and Nancy.”


8. Charlene H.

“Xul and Sura the huskies were recovering from kennel cough and Charlene took care of them! She is the best! When we came back after a week they were almost healed thanks to Charlene! They love staying with her!”


9. Zakeba H.

“Zakeba was tentative to Picard's needs and had a natural calmness about him. Picard felt comfortable upon me leaving, and I felt he was in good hands for the last stretch of his parent's trip. He was on time, responsive, and I felt as though Picard was already listening at the first exchange, which is definitely saying a lot. Thank you again Zakeba!”


10. Jay R.
“From the very beginning, Jay has always provided excellent communication, care and reliability. They have a calling for dogs, truly. Jay really took time to get to know my baby Charlie! They’re best of friends now, it’s the sweetest thing! Charlie is quite energetic, and Jay matches her energy every time! Since walking with Jay, Charlie has had a significant change in behavior and overall happiness! I could not thank Jay more for their work. We appreciate you, Jay!”


11. Sam D.

“Sam came through at the last minute to house sit during a birthday celebration after another sitter canceled. Not only did he save the day, but he provided even higher quality care than we could have imagined. Our 6 month old puppy adored him from the moment he walked into our apartment. He asked great questions before we left and within minutes of being gone she was snuggled up with him on the sofa. He provided fun and informative updates that put us at ease while we were away—allowing us to fully enjoy the night. Sam is now our go-to sitter. We will certainly book his services in the future. Highly recommend for knowledgeable, playful, and attentive care for your pet.”


12. Emily E.


“My partner and I have never used a dog sitter, so at first we were really nervous to have someone stay in our apartment. But let me tell you, Emily left us feeling so relieved after we met her. She took such great care of our Penny. She gave us 2 updates, and didn’t mind me checking in to see if Penny had eaten yet. But we received 2 updates morning and night, which also included lots of happy pictures of Penny. If you need a dog sitter, I highly recommend Emily. Penny is definitely excited to see her again soon. ?”


13. Brenna M.

“Brenna was amazing with us, our dogs, and our house. She agreed to meet us on short notice and we immediately knew our pups would be in great hands. She left the house neater than she found it. She updated us throughout the trip with messages and pictures. We are excited we met her! We’ll definitely be calling again.”


14. Charlotte C.

“Charlotte was an excellent cat sitter! She watched my two cats for a week and had no issues at all. I greatly appreciated all the pictures and updates from her stay and would happily choose her for future trips. Thank you!”


15. Nicholas C.
“Nick is an incredible care giver for animals. He loves all animals and they love him. He provides a caring atmosphere and is always thinking about what is best for them (this can be play, but safety too). He sees each animal uniquely and treats them as individuals. As a certified dog trainer he has a range of experience with different breeds. Nick has a special way with all types of animals, from goats to house cats. I HIGHLY recommend him!”


16. Emerie P.

“Emerie was awesome. She in my Siberian husky Miley Rose went for walks went to play in parks and got to live at home where she’s happiest. I will definitely look for Emerie to watch Miley on my next trip.”


17. Jacqueline W.


“Jackie was absolutely amazing, I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. We have two Siberian Huskies that can be a handful, but she handled them with such ease. Jackie was communicative and sent enough pictures and updates where we felt comfortable and informed, but gave us enough space where we weren’t bombarded about the dogs the whole time we were away. I honestly didn’t worry about my dogs for even a minute from the moment we left, which is a first for me. We came home to two tired pups and a super clean house! I’d highly recommend Jackie to anyone I know.”


18. Shana M.

“Shana was great to work with! She met us in advance to learn about our routine and our 3 girls took to her immediately. We came home from our trip to happy puppies and clean house.”


19. Elizabeth S.

“We’ve used Elizabeth twice for extended dog sitting for our two young active dogs (2yo and 6months) overnight in our home and couldn’t recommend her more. Because she is a remote employee she works from our home during the day, taking breaks periodically to walk, feed and play with the pups. In the evening she unwinds with the dogs and stays overnight in our guest bedroom. This arrangement has been great when we are out of town and I would recommend it for anyone who prefers their dings stay in their home while they are away.”


20. Kelsey L.

“Kelsey did a great job housesitting with our cat Sasha while we were away for the weekend. She arrived on time, sent updates (with photos) a few times a day and was always quick to respond. The last time we left Sasha with a sitter she was stressed out and didnt eat while we were away. However, Sasha played, ate and used the litterbox as usual with Kelsey. We also came back to a very clean and neat home. We will definitely be using Kelsey again!”
