4. Mattabesett S.

“Maddie was fantastic. We currently have three dogs of our own plus a foster dog. When we met with her the first time, she wasn’t hesitant about the fact we have 4 dogs. She is mature, pleasant, and has an easygoing demeanor. We wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again to tend to our dogs.”


5. Dajon S.

“Dajon is absolutely AMAZING! We just moved into our new condo and the first time we were leaving Styles as well as the first time we used Rover. In viewing all of the pics Dajon sent, Styles had a great time and we were worry free! Dajon is timely, dependable, and a great communicator! We will definitely use him again!!”


6. Regan W.

“Regan did a great job. Even my cat showed up for her, which is unusual. My cat Spats, usually stays hid when strangers are around. Minion loves everyone so I know they were well taken care of. I recommend Regan and will use her again if needed.”

“Thank you, Gabby, for taking such good care of our Siberian Huskies. I was very nervous to leave my girls, especially our 10year old who was just diagnosed with cancer. We needed a weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary and just to relax. You set our minds at ease with photos and consistent communication. I hope my 6-page manual book wasn't too much. LOL. We are looking forward to having you dog sit again. Khaleesi and Freyja say Woooo Woooo.”




13. Savannah R.

15. Kaelin B.

“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”

“Kam watched our two dogs while we were away for a weekend. We greatly appreciated the photos and periodic updates, as well as the excellent communication beforehand regarding feeding and medication schedules to maintain our specific routine, particularly for our dog, Rizzo, who can be a little more anxious at times. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them, as well as our home! We look forward to Kam caring for them again soon!”


19. Kelly C.
“Kelly is my go-to for pet sitting when I travel! For reference, I have two dogs and three cats. Evie (dog 1) was abused and has challenges with people, and Kelly has been the only pet sitter who’s been able to gain Evie’s trust making Kelly a lifeline when I need to go out of town! My other dog (Eddie) is a very energetic lab who requires lots of attention and activity and Kelly is up for his antics as well! Kelly removes all the guilt from me traveling because I know my dogs are in great hands. After Evie had a tooth removed Kelly was also able to give Evie her pain medicine and antibiotics (as you can imagine getting a formerly abused dog to take pills isn’t easy). On top of that, she also cares for the cats alongside the dogs and has pet names for all of them by now. She plays with them and gives them all the love. Kelly is also quite the pet photographer in the making! I love getting pics of all my pets while I’m away knowing they are being well cared for. Can’t recommend Kelly enough for pet sitting, she genuinely loves all animals and is great at communicating with me which gives me peace of mind. Kelly is always my first call when I need my pets cared for!”


20. Courtney M.
“Courtney loves animals as if they were her own. Courtney takes the extra time to make animals feel welcomed and at home with her. She does an amazing job at making animals feel love and comfort! Animals are her passion and she has a natural way with them!”
