“Amber is an excellent communicator and very respectful. Our 2 dogs love having her over to watch them and the house. We're thankful to have someone like Amber we can trust them with.”

“Caitlyn stepped in at the last minute to watch my dog. She was very responsive and kept me well informed about my dog's status. I'll definitely be calling on her again!”

“Elena has been great with my two girls. She knows how to bring their playful personalities out and has command and authority when needed. She is gentle and respectful at all times and sends the best doggo action pics I've seen in a long time. She's an amazing human and has the perfect energy for my two wiley pooches.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our little Roxy. She is a fear reactive foster and Stephanie handled her patiently, perfectly, and lovingly. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos. Trying to find the right person to watch our girl with very special needs was critical. Stephanie was the perfect fit for Roxy and our situation. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing couple! From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were not only cared for, but truly loved while I was away. They sent frequent updates and the sweetest pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind—something I haven’t felt in a long time when leaving my dogs. It was clear they treated my pups as if they were their own, paying attention to every little detail and making sure they were happy, safe, and comfortable. Their communication was excellent, their kindness was genuine, and their dedication was obvious. For the first time in a long time, I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in the best hands possible. If you’re looking for sitters who go the extra mile, look no further. I am beyond grateful for the care they provided and we have already booked out our year with them again!”

“Naomi did such a wonderful job with our dog! She stayed in our home with Nellie for a week and kept Nellie company, exercised her, provided great updates, and tended to our house as if it were her own. We are so appreciative to Naomi and would most definitely hire her again!”

“August is an amazing sitter! Our ladies are old and not the easiest. A couple of hiccups occurred and August handled them just as we would have. We got communication every day with photos and our ladies were relaxed in every photo. We were able to enjoy our vacation with no stress about our dogs, which was wonderful! Our home was left in impeccable shape. We will definitely book with August for any future needs (as long as he's available). We couldn't have expected a better experience!”
“Vincent was great! I have some high maintenance dogs and he killed it. Very communicative and I came home to a spotless house! Thanks for great service Vincent !”

“Jaidyn was so great! She was communicative, kind, punctual, and very understanding when I made abrupt changes to our booking. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
“Abby was wonderful with our three dogs!! We have one very old lady, one energetic puppy and a very shy puppy. She was able to care for all of them and had great communication with us the entire time we were away!”
“Emily was awesome with Zeca! It was our first time using River and it was really helpful! She was updating us every day with pictures and arranged with a friend to have him when she had to work full time!”

“Took great care of our high-energy dog and 2 cats! Wonderful communication & updates throughout. Absolutely hope to continue having Ashlyn’s help looking after our little ones when we travel!”

“Eliza was amazing. The kind care she gave to my pup - Sebastian - was perfect. He hated to see her leave. She was very focused on making sure Sebastian was well cared for.”

“Suzy was amazing, super kind and caring for the dogs. Very communicative and just all around awesome to work with, she also sent us some photos of our pups! Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you Suzy!”

“Jeremy was beyond helpful. I was out in a little bit of a pinch when my previous house sitter canceled the day before our trip. In the chaos of that Jeremy helped calmed my worries. He was easy to talk to, showed up on time and was very communicative about my dog through out the stay. I cannot recommend Jeremey enough for helping watching my dog on such short notice and with such great care!”

“Elizabeth was great! She was very organized, reliable and communicative. Sent pics while we were gone. Dogs , cat and house were well cared for upon our return. Would recommend highly!”

“Caroline was great!! She took excellent care of my dogs! This was my first time with the house sitting service and I’m so glad it was with Caroline! She was great to communicate and send pics and my pups had a great time with her!!”


“Landon is the man! He did such a good job with our senior dog and our crazy cat. They seemed very content when we got home. If he had questions about something he would ask rather than assuming, which was great! The house also looks immaculate! We are definitely going to reach out to Landon in the future!”

“Mira is super kind, patient and accommodating. She came and visited us ahead of time so we could meet her & she could meet our pack. During her care, one of our dogs had a situation where she had to bring him to our vet while we were out-of-town & she didn’t even hesitate. She is a Dr starting her first year of residency- I strongly suspect she’ll be a wonderful doctor!”
