CJ was great with our pups! He came on time, was very communicative, and our pups warmed up to him quickly. Would love to have CJ watch our pups again! Thank you again CJ!

I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough! He stayed with my dog during my wedding weekend and went above and beyond in every aspect. Not only did he take exceptional care of my dog, but he also looked after my home with the utmost responsibility. Stephen provided extremely thorough updates throughout the weekend, giving me complete peace of mind during a busy and important time. He was incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail. I will absolutely be using him again—he’s an outstanding sitter!

MJ was awesome! She went above and beyond in keeping me in the loop with my two pugs. My dog Bud was so comfortable with her and this is huge as he struggles with anxiety and being around new human/animals. I love how he quickly warmed up to her. Highly recommend MJ!

We just had Austin stay with our Golden retreiver for the first time, and we and our dog had a great experience. Austin met with us before the stay, asked great questions and got to know our dog. He sent great updates and pictures while we were away, and our dog and our home we so well cared for. I had some major flight delays returning home, and Austin took it all in stride and stayed longer than anticipated with our pup. Highly recommend!

Kellie has a really good energy with my kitties Mr. Big and Lulu. Very attentive to them, they love paying with her. She's also got great attention to detail whenever I'm traveling she always follows up on whatever notes I leave for her. The kids have started to run over to the front door to pur when she shows up.

Alondra has pet sat for our 70 pound Doberman many times. We trust her wholeheartedly with our crackhead of a dog, Storm screams when sees her (she gets that excited). Not only does she do an excellent job watching our dog, she leaves your home exactly as you left it. I 100% recommend her to anyone with a pet that needs some love and care while you are away.

We are so grateful that Yaho was able to take on our booking last minute! She made the process smooth from the start, taking the time to meet with us online, ask thoughtful questions, and really get to know our dogs’ needs. During the stay, she went above and beyond—keeping their routines consistent, giving them plenty of love and attention, and sending us regular photo updates that put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic, and to top it all off, she even brought our trash cans back in! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Ciara was among the best caretakers I have ever worked with! She helped us out big time in a major pinch after another provider flaked over a holiday weekend. She was timely, attentive to our pets needs, very communicative with frequent updates and took great care of the home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring pet sitter!

Trina is an absolute gem. She cared for our pup with kindness and love, and put a great amount of time and effort into getting to know him and us before our trip. It put me at such ease knowing he was in her care. Beyond happy to have met Trina and am so excited to have her care for Chip again.

Leilani cared for our dog and three cats over Christmas and did a wonderful job. Our dog is very elderly and has special needs, including twice-daily medication and specially-prepared food. Leilani was patient and understanding and sent regular updates, so I was able to relax and know he was in capable hands. Leilani took great care of our home and left it perfectly clean. We would happily have her back again!

Trinity was punctual, easy-going, communicative, and kind. My pup, Shannon, who has separation anxiety and is leash-reactive, can be a handful unless his environment is well-managed. While house-sitting, Trinity followed instructions perfectly, administered medication, and sent helpful text updates. She also kept Shannon calm throughout. I'll gladly re-book in the future.
