“Clement was the first house shower I’ve ever booked for my Pepper, and he’s the best! Pep took to him right away and with his daily updates, I felt very comfortable during my week away. I’ll be booking him for my next trip!”


2. Austin G.

“Austin did a great job with my senior kitty. I came home to a calm and content cat. Good communication throughout. I'd recommend Austin for sitting services, for sure!”




3. Jessica S.

“Jessica is so amazing. She was fabulous before and throughout the stay keeping us informed. She was totally organized & professional. And when we got stuck in a hurricane and couldn’t get home, she handled everything and made my life simple by ensuring my dog was well taken care of for TWO extra days.”


4. Carol S.

“Carol was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our puppy, Teddy, overnight for a few days, and Carol really put our minds at ease very quickly. She cared for Teddy like he was her own. We got regular updates with photos of Teddy looking like he was having a great time. I think he was a little sad to see her go! She was such a pleasure to interact with for us, too. We will definitely be contacting her again the next time have to be away from Teddy! Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience, Carol!”


5. Joel S.

“Joel took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation for a week at his home. Joel kept in touch with us all week at let us know how our dog was doing. Our dog played and went on walks he was very well taken care of. I highly recommend Joel, he treats your dog like his own. We were very happy and will definitely have Joel take care of our dog again!!!”

“Renee is prompt and communicative. We felt she loved and cared for our dogs. We will definitely be asking her availability for future trips and would highly recommend her to others.”


7. Christina M.

“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”

10. Rachel S.
“Rachel is trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and overall amazing! She is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and time he needs to want to be friends. And she is understanding and loving towards our demanding, sometimes chaotic, old-man cat who receives regular meds every couple of days. She even cleaned his ears when he got an ear infection right before we left for a trip. She is great at sending photos and checking in regularly, and I know I never have to worry when she is taking care of them. Rachel is one of the very few people that I trust my pets with!”

“Chelsea and John are amazing! They took such great care of our pets and we’ve never felt more comfortable with someone taking care of them.

They went above and beyond and we can not thank them enough ☺️”

We will certainly look forward to seeing you again in the future.”

16. Ciarrah M.

“Ciarrah was a great match for my two pups. Great communication and sent updates with pictures throughout the time she watched them. Even did a meet and greet before hand to make sure they were compatible and I was comfortable with her staying in the house. Highly trusted and would recommend.”




17. Carrie Q.

“Carrie was great with my dogs. She made sure to follow all directions and made them very happy while I was away for a week. She took amazing care of them and walked them often. When I arrived home she had made my apartment as clean as it was when I left and had the guest room stripped of sheets and any towels, which made my vacation and arrival home very easy. She is super nice and easygoing. Got along with my neighbors wonderfully. Definitely will hire her for summer weekends and any other upcoming trips!”


18. Angelica V.
About: For 12 years I have professionally volunteered and fostered dogs. I have always had dogs growing up and a wagging tail makes my whole day! I am comfortable caring for any size dogs, any age and dogs with anxiety. I work from home so you can be sure that your precious pet will have constant company and supervision. There is always time to play and snuggle! I have a basement that I can keep your pet separate from my dog and cats. I have a fenced yard for frequent potty and play breaks! We have couches and beds for the pets and they get free roam if you’d like of the entire basement. If they prefer a more confined area, there is a bedroom in the basement and can easily be set up to accommodate a furry friend.


19. Kerri G.
“Kerri is a wonderful and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. She is responsible, attentive, and ensures pets feel safe and happy. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable caregiver!”


20. Naomi F.
“Naomi has a heart of gold and loves every type of animal. She has cared for my dog on several occasions and has loved them as if they were her own. She is very attuned to the animals and seems to know exactly what they need at any given moment. She follows instructions to a T. If you want your pet to get all the love while you are away, hire Naomi. She will also look after your exotics also. She never met a snake she didn't love!”
