Hayley was communicative, attentive, and friendly! I already have her lined up for another trip we are taking, and I know she will take great care of Hermione, because she did a great job! My husband said Hermione might like her more than us!

Alessandria did a great job keeping my dogs safe and happy. I appreciate that she was able to be flexible on times as I wasn't sure with the weather if we were going to make it back on time. The house was left neat and tidy, and she helped prepare for a bad winter storm coming.

Karen is a superstar! The dogs loved her and so did we! Karen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors and personalities. It was our pleasure to have her watch Temple and Bandit over the weekend.

Brian sent messages with pictures each day to let me know how my labradoodle Pio was doing. Brian took excellent care of Pio and gave him pets and play as well as the required bathroom walks.

Meredith was great staying with my cat and housesitting for 3 nights! I got regular updates, both pics and video, and I could tell she liked hanging out with him, which was nice. Came home to a clean house. Would definitely (and hope to!) book her again.

Syndi is a very nice young lady who got along really well with our 3 dogs and 4 cats. She did overnight stays with our fur babies. Cleaned up after herself wonderfully. I felt very comfortable leaving my precious pets with her.

Cameron was amazing. My dog is very nervous and doesn't open up to anyone new, not even sitters I've had for years. As is her usual, I told Cameron she likely wouldn't even come out of her crate for him, but I got pictures of her playing tug, getting belly rubs, and lying by his side. I was astonished. Cameron checked in regularly and sent tons of pictures and videos. Highly recommended.

Not that I'd suggest doing so but Nick was able to take care of my two dogs on a one day notice due to a last-minute change in an out-of-town doctor's appointment I had to go to. He visited with me the day I reached out to him to meet the dog's and determine how best to meet their needs. He texted me a couple of times while I was away to let me know how things were going, and I feel very comfortable in letting him care for them again when the need arises - hopefully next time with more advance notice! Thank you Nick

Carol’s son stayed at our house and took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and provided frequent updates. We would work with them again and would recommend Carol and/or her family to others!

Avery was a phenomenal house and pet sitter for us! She took care of our dog, and three cats for the weekend, and I'd never had such peace of mind when leaving our fur babies. She gave an update per day, but was willing to give more if asked, and our house was clean and exactly the way we'd left it when we returned. We're definitely booking with Avery again!

This was our first experience using a dog sitter in our home, so we didn’t really know what to expect. Tionna spent a great deal of time with us at our meet and greet and answered all of our questions. She responded promptly to texts and sent daily updates and pictures of Riley. Everything seemed to go very well.

Monica is amazing! She has stayed at our house and watched our animals several times and she is very trustworthy and caring. She took care of our dog and cat over the Christmas holiday and gave updates multiple times a day. She is so good with animals, our dog gets so excited to see her! We could tell they were well taken care of when we got home. Thank you Monica!!!

Having a very senior dog, it is harder and harder to leave her in the care of someone else. Mary managed all of Sadie’s old lady quirks (and our puppy) with grace and humor. We highly recommend her caregiving and house sitting services!

Thank you, Kristen, for taking care of our challenging dog! Krisen was such a lifesaver in managing her care while we were away. She provided updates and helped Lyra feel okay about us being gone. I can't recommend Kristen enough!
