“Nichole was fantastic and accommodated a booking on short notice. She was great with Bruce and made sure to follow up with regular updates. We will definitely book with Nichole again in the future!”
2. Marie H.
“I cannot say enough good things about Marie. She is thoughtful, communicative, caring, and trustworthy. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town and kept us updated throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend Marie‘s services!”
3. Tori E.
“Highly recommend Tori for you pet needs. She is extremely prompt in her responses. She sent pictures of the pets on her arrival to our home and then daily. She even sent a video. Our dog can be very nervous around new people but took right to Tori, putting our minds at ease while we were way. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
4. Rachel R.
“Rachel watched our two boys at our house for the weekend. We have an older dog that requires some more attention and care and she was extremely attentive and treated him so well and tending to his more specific needs. Our younger doodle has a lot of feelings and I could tell when we got home he was extremely relaxed and comfortable despite it being the first time someone he didn’t know watched him for the weekend which shows how much of a dog person Rachel is for our needy dog to feel comfortable! She also left our house in better shape than we left it. She was very communicative and sent pictures of the boys and status updates regularly. I would highly recommend Rachel to care for your dogs!”
5. Holly J.
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
6. Nicole J.

9. Robin & Ahmed A.
“Once again, Robin and Ahmed exceeded my expectations. My cats adore them which is evident from the many pictures they send me while I am away. They left the house in tip top condition — would hardly know they were there for a week. I highly, highly recommend them! Your babies will be safe and well cared for and your time away worry free.”
10. Mara S.
“Mara was our beloved dog walker for our family for many years! Because we knew she grew up with dogs, she immediately made us feel comfortable trusting our fur babies with her. She took the time to learn the personality of each, and took that into account when walking them. Our dogs were always excited to see her when she came !”
11. Carrie M.
“Carrie was great! She was accommodating, communicative, and clearly loved by our two dogs, who she took care of over the holiday. She gave meds and walked them daily, sent photos, and snuggled them. She also kept the house clean and was considerate about taking the garbage out and starting the laundry. I would recommend her!”
