Brian was an excellent dog sitter/house sitter. He kept us updated on our pups activities and let us know immediately when one wasn’t feeling well. He was very respectful and punctual! Would definitely book again!

Alex was truly amazing at caring for our fur babies, I would give 100 stars if I could!!! We felt so comfortable with him in our home and loved the update photos we received throughout the booking. Alex is super trustworthy, and I could tell my pets adored him!! So relieved that we found someone we can trust to provide excellent care (:

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.

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.

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.

Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!

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!!!

Diamond was really great with my babies. Even my yorkie, who is very shy. She took excellent care of them. She came to the house which was extremely helpful and allowed the pets to be stable in there own comfort zone. I highly recommend her for the care of your pet. My dogs are like children to me and I am very confident that I will be utilizing her services again. Very dependable and trustworthy! "A"plus care!

Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job looking after my sweet Essie Mae. Her communication was excellent with lots of texts, pics and updates. It was very obvious, especially from ome of the pics, that Essie truly connected with Kelsey and loved having her as her care taker. We'll definitely use Kelsey again!

Denim is great! My Sofia is very nervous with new people and Denim was so patient with her, letting her take the time she needed to warm up. Denim was also great about texting me to ask questions and provide updates on how Sofia was doing, which really eased my mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Denim for your pet-sitting needs.

Margaux stayed at our house to watch our Pittie and this took such a weight off our shoulders, knowing that our girl was safe at home, comfortable, and well taken care of. Margaux also took excellent care of our home and we couldn't have been happier to have her. Thanks again for everything!
