Vanessa and Kyla are fantastic! They were so good with my temperamental dog and great to work with. I had a last minute request for pet sitting that changed multiple times. Through all the changes, they were so accommodating. Focus was always on what was best for my dog. Thank you!!

Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.

Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!

We are so grateful for Jaina! She took wonderful care of BOTH my large pups on short notice. The minute my dogs arrived at Jaina's house for our meet and greet, they were sniffing every inch of space. Jaina was warm and welcoming, allowing them to run all over both floors of her home and explore her huge backyard. I could see she truly understood dogs and knew they would be safe and happy with her. Jaine provided my high energy dogs with lots of play, stimulation, and cuddles. She was patient and nurturing and provided me with updates, photos and videos. One of my pups was wailing and refusing to get in the car when it was time to leave Jaina's. What a wonderful experience!

I had to find a reliable sitter for my diabetic fur baby who had only previously been taken care of family members and were uncomfortable giving injections to him. So when I had the opportunity to go out of the country for a vacation, I researched sitters and came across Vanessa (and Kayla) - We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks before to see how my pup would be around them and he seemed comfortable with them and they as well. However, no sooner after I dropped him off to head off on my vacation, he started to have some problems. Vanessa and Kayla went above and beyond to make him comfortable as he was stressed and that probably made his diabetes act up. With frequent contact we all managed to adjust his dose of insulin which solved the issue and by report had no further issues after the first 2 days. Vanessa and Kayla gave me daily "pup-dates" with pictures while I was away which greatly put my mind at ease so I could really enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Vanessa (and Kayla) to care for your fur babies especially if you need to have someone comfortable giving injections and pills. Will definitely use them again

Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.

Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!

Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
