1. Brian E.

“Well done Brian. Very easy to communicate with and intentional with his interaction with we humans and our cats. Shared photos during our absence from home and asked questions along the way to show his engagement. Will hire Brian again in the future.”


2. Yvette S.


“Yvette was a wonderful pet sitter! She stayed with our young Golden Retriever named Rosie for two nights at our place in University Place. Yvette took the time to have a video call and come over to meet Rosie before our weekend away. Right away, it was apparent that Yvette loved dogs and Rosie adored her. Yvette was consistently responsive, provided photos and updates, and easy to trust as house/petsitter. We'll book her again, for sure!”


3. Alyssa S.

“Alyssa was very responsive and adaptive to our pet-sitting needs. We are grateful to have had a good first time experience with her as a pet sitter”


4. Lisa P.


“We cannot say enough good things about Lisa. She recently watched our little crew in our home over the Christmas holiday. We have a high-energy and sometimes very mischievous, Dalmatian puppy and two kitties. She kept everyone happy and healthy! She sent frequent updates and we had excellent lines of communication through-out her stay. It gave me peace of mind to know that they were all doing well (and that our puppy wasn't driving her too crazy :) Even though we didn't request or expect her to clean, the house was in perfect shape (maybe even better than when we left) when we returned. Notably, she was wonderful enough to stay extra days on short notice when we got stuck in a literal blizzard and could not get back as planned. I cannot tell you what a relief that was while dealing with everything else. My husband and I said many times through-out the trip that we were so happy to have found Lisa. We absolutely would not hesitate to book her again. (Emmitt, Dondi, and Quill approve of this message!)”


5. Kelsie J.


“Kelsie took great care of our home and our German Shepherd, Tigger, while we were out of town for 6 days. We will be booking her again for sure. Tigger can’t wait for us to go on Vacation again!”


6. Callan M.


“Cal was so good at keeping me updated while I was gone, and sent me the cutest pics. I felt like my dogs were safe with her, and she left the house immaculate. I will use her whenever I'm gone!”




7. Erin F.

“Erin came to our home and stayed with our furbabies while we went to Mexico. She was truly amazing with them, which put us at ease being away from home knowing they were in great care. She provided us with updates and photos throughout her stay. Cooper loved the walks she took him on. And Sasha loved her fun in the sun. We are so appreciative of Erin and the care she provided them. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Erin!”


8. Norma F.

“Norma was an absolute dream come true for me and my pups. I hav a big young and small older dog, both were taken care of past expectation. They both got plenty of walks appropriate for the each of them, and the house was always picked up and packed away safe for my boys whenever alone. Not a thing was left forgotten for care, and I was blessed with so many cute photos of my babies during the sitting. Norma kept me comfortable and confident with the boys in her care and always made sure to let me know how things were going. I cannot recommend her enough! Your dogs will be so so very happy! :)”


9. Romy S.


“My experience with Romy was wonderful. When I came home from leaving my Angie for the first time, she wanted to sit on Romy’s lap! The photos and adventures Angie had were clearly happier than her real life! Romy is a fabulous house/dog sitter! We will definitely use her whenever possible!”


10. Paul G.

“Paul did a great job house and pet sitting my dog, cats, and chickens. Quick responses and peace of mind. Everything and everyone was well cared for.”

“Emily was wonderful. The pups were well taken care of and house was so clean when I got home. She let me know how they were doing and sent pics.”


13. Sarah M.

Her love for animals is evident in the way she treats them—with patience, warmth, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to ensure both pets and their owners feel at ease. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, Natalya is the perfect choice!”


16. Adam S.

“Adam is amazing. My pets were well taken care of and the house left in very good shape. My dog went on several adventures around town. Adam took lots of photos and kept me updated everyday in my pets. It’s wonderful knowing they are in such good hands while away.”


17. Kristen B.

“Kristen was fantastic. Our often initially shy cat bonded with her right away. She sent lots of updates with pictures. Our house was totally clean. I would highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”


18. Val M.


“Valerie was great while we were away. She did more than we asked and our babies were much calmer than they usually are when we get home. Highly recommended!”


19. Natalia R.

“Natalia was AMAZING! So sweet to my pups, let them warm up to her at their own pace, and sent me updates/pictures of them daily!”


20. Jailyn S.
