“Victoria took good care of Charlie for 9 days. Keep me updated with photos. She only had one pet, our Charlie, on her apartment. We had a bad experience leaving Charlie with other pets in the past, coming back home very sick.”

“Our original sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. I contacted Stephanie less than 24 hrs in advance, and she was able to accommodate our stay. My dog Loki can be very timid at first in new environments, but with time was able to open up within Stephanie’s home. She makes sure to send daily photos, updates, and also will take your dog for daily walks. I felt extremely comfortable having Loki there, and would book again in the future!”

“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”

“Bella was so great with my pup Gino. She sent so many photos and updates while I was away and he came back to me happy and healthy. I will definitely be a return customer and can confidently recommend her to others!”

“Lynn and her husband were absolutely amazing! Lynn kept me constantly updated and sent a bunch of photos. Coco loved their huge yard! It’s clear they treated her like their own. I hope to book with them in the future!!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my anxious dog with Laura. She sent pictures and updates and really seemed to enjoy having my dog in her home for the week. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Maddie and her baby Banks are great! The times that I have used her to watch my puppy, she has been very accommodating and flexible with my schedule. Banks is a sweetheart and loves my 8 month boxer puppy and plays with her all day. Which is great because by the time I get her, it takes her a couple of days for her to recover and if you know boxers, they have a lot of energy! Maddie is highly recommended, not only is she reasonable in price, she is caring with animals and has great communication skills. I will continue to use her!”

“Chelsea and her son did a fantastic job of taking care of our Murray! She was great with the updates and Murray seemed like he made himself right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chelsea and plan to user her again in the future!”

“Sharii B. is the BEST dog sitter ever. Our fur baby Tiffany loves ❤️ going to her home and spending time with her. She loves hanging out in the yard and soaking up the sun and in the evening, the cuddles 🥰”

“Recomiendo 100% a Mariana, tiene un excelente acondicionamiento para los perritos, sentí confianza desde el primer momento, nos mantenía informados de cómo estaba mi mascota por medio de fotos. Si necesitan un lugar donde dejar a sus mascotas no duden en hacerlo con mariana.”

“Erika goes above and beyond. My two golden doodles ran right up to her and were so excited to see her - and it was the first time they had met her! Amazing house with a great backyard! They had so much fun. Erika is super communicative and sends frequent photos and updates. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!”

“Stevie and Richard were the ideal pet sitters for my Cooper. They provided a comfortable home environment and much love so that he hardly knew that I was gone. When my returning flight was delayed they worked with me to find a solution that would work for both of us. I would not hesitate to use them again the next time I'm in town. They provided me with regular feedback and pictures on how Cody was doing and their 6-month-old daughter Athena is precious as well!”

“On the first meet and greet, my dog was comfortable with Ada right away. She walked him around the block and it’s as if my dog had been with her before. Ada was so calm and loving with my dog and that meant a lot, because my dog gets very anxious, but with her he was so relaxed. Ada sent us videos and photos of our dog often, reassuring us that he was doing great. I highly recommend Ada and plan to rebook her again for our dog. Thank you so much Ada!!! We appreciate you!”
“Rachel was great and took awesome care of my dog! She works from home so she was there at all times and even took him out to the dog park. If you’re leaving your pet with Rachel you are in good hands!”

“I was very pleased with Haley's care of Mika. When I left her, she was having a bout of collapsed trachea and coughing a lot, so I was a bit worried. Haley administered her medicine, and she hasn't coughed once since I brought her home. Besides that, Haley was very business-like about the details of having Mika and her stuff ready at the time I was to pick her up. I especially appreciated the photos and updates.”

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

Ada was everything Kylo and I needed and more. Her experience was evident as Kylo deals with anxiety, I felt so reassured through check-ins and pictures. I don't think I have ever felt this relaxed first time leaving Kylo with someone new, but Ada is without a doubt our new go-to person

Juliette is so kind, friendly, and courteous. She is a blessing to work with and she is the best at what she does. She took great care of my cat while I was gone and he was so happy. She will be my go to pet sitter and I recommend her to everyone looking for one. Thank you for being so sweet Juliette!

Kevin & Thais are amazing pet sitters!! They have a spacious house & yard that made our pup feel at home while we were away. Plus, we got numerous pictures every day so we knew he having fun and getting plenty of love & attention from his temporary family. We will definitely use them again!

Our dog had the best time with Taylor and playing with her dog. She was extremely kind and thoughtful, and knowing we had had a previous bad experience with another pet sitter she went over the top to help soothe our nerves. Taylor is very professional and responsible, and I would absolutely lose her again.

Stephnia took such amazing care of Ozzy and Zoey while we were away for over a week! From the start, she made them feel right at home, and it truly showed. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easier to be away from them without feeling guilty. When we picked them up, they were happy, clean, and clearly well loved. It was such a great experience all around, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Stephania again. Highly recommend!

My pup loved her time with Virginia. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety to the max, but was calm and relaxed the whole time she was with Virginia. She sent daily photos letting me know my pup was well cared for and loved. Can't recommend Virginia enough.
