Danielle took such good care of my little Pug. We went on a trip for 4 days and it was so refreshing not having to worry about him one time. She’s truly great!

We’ve been using Hannah for a few months now and she’s the best! Super reliable, communicative, and always attentive to Azul’s routine. He has separation anxiety so there’s a few extra steps involved in his care, and she’s always so thoughtful about handling everything. It’s such a relief having someone dependable we can trust with him :)

Corie’s care of our four dogs and tortoises was excellent - she’s a compassionate, thoughtful petsitter who made sure that we were kept updated about our pets’ wellbeing throughout our time away from home. We look forward to having her take care of Bear, Louie, Gigi, CloClo and our tortoises in the future!

Noah is fantastic! He dog sat for us for over two weeks and we came home to a very happy dog and spotless apartment. He was communicative the entire time (sent a picture and text update each day) and was event able to accommodate a last minute additional day when we weren’t able to get home the day we originally planned. Highly recommend Noah and will be booking again!

Korrey did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd Quincy and hound mix Sydney while we were on vacation for a week. Sydney is a little skittish towards new people, but she warmed right up to Korrey - he has very calm energy. Korrey administered several medications for the dogs and also picked up the dog poop in the backyard. He followed all instructions, sent a few pictures, and I never had any issues getting in touch with him. I was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about our pups at all!

The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sarah was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. We've had some terrible experiences with sitters over the years, so we know (and appreciate!) a good one when we find one. From my first interaction with Sarah, she was responsive, professional, and very pleasant. She took excellent care of our 3 dogs and older cat. They are a cute crew- but a lot of work! Sarah made it look easy, and she left our home in great shape too. Highly recommend!

Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.

Angela took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were away for the weekend! From start to finish, she was extremely responsive, polite, and completely respectful of our space. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay with detailed check-ins and sent plenty of wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while away. It was clear our pup was happy, well-loved, and kept right on his routine. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier or more trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Angela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their dog!

We hired Lesly for a two week house sitting for our dog Junie. Since this was a long stay we needed someone that we felt we could trust and Lesly did a great job! She sent us photos almost everyday and was very fast with her communication. Despite the long stay our house was clean and organized when we returned. We would highly recommend Lesly for looking after your pets.

Karachi is a terrific dog sitter. She works from home so she is with Colby all the time. He loves that. She takes him for walks and has won his trust. She also is kind to us. She changed the bed and washed the sheets and towel for us. And she left the house as clean and tidy as we left it for how. We are grateful!

We had a fantastic experience with Diego! He took great care of our energetic 7-month-old golden retriever, Rhys, during a three day house sitting. The communication leading up to and during the sitting was excellent. He was even willing to book a drop-in visit beforehand to meet Rhys and talk through some of the care instructions, which we really appreciated. Diego asked how often we wanted pictures and updates, and sent them on schedule as we discussed. Rhys seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked him up. We highly recommend Diego and will definitely book with him again if we can!

Sarah was a wonderful overnight sitter for our senior dog. It is obvious that Sarah loves dogs and that she has a huge amount of experience with pups of all ages, including dogs like mine that require daily medicine. Sara is very conscientious and carefully reviewed my written instructions before I left to make sure she was providing the care (from food to walks) that I was requesting. She also sent updates and photos while we were gone and left my house quite tidy. I was very pleased.

Elizabeth was AMAZING!! I cannot say it enough. She put me at so much ease leaving my sweet senior 13 yr old pup which is hard to do because I know he requires some patience and grace but she gave him so much love and care and sent pictures and updates throughout just as promised. She was very respectful of our home and left it very tidy. Would hire again and again!!

Halle watched our Pomeranian over the weekend at our house and she was fantastic. Our dog has anxiety and requires daily medication, which Halle handled well. She did a great job gaining the trust of our little Pom who can be difficult and hide away from strangers when we are out of town. She also left our house cleaner than we left it and was super communicative all weekend with updates and pics! Will definitely have Halle watch her again :)

We could not have asked for a better sitter than Summer! She took wonderful care of our baby boy, Willy, while we were away. Summer was exceptionally responsible, communicative, and attentive. The photos and updates she sent gave us complete peace of mind—it was clear from every picture that Willy felt comfortable, relaxed, and truly happy in her care. When we returned home, he was calm, content, and in great spirits. We appreciate Summer’s dedication and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!
