1. Christina S.
“Christina is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is kind, warm, responsible, a fantastic communicator… the list goes on. My family was away for a week from our elderly sick pup and our newer pup and she not only handled it well - she probably did better than we do! We will use her again and hope to see her again just because she’s that great!”

“Kim was absolutely perfect! She communicated very consistently while I was away & made a creative effort to get my anxious dog to eat when he wouldn’t. She also left a really cute card for me when I returned home. I felt like Tino was in very safe & capable hands. We can’t wait to book with Kim again!”
13. Anna A.
“This was our first time leaving our 4 and 7 year old dogs with a non-family sitter for a vacation. Anna was great to communicate with leading up to our trip and always replied promptly. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and sent us photos and updates during our trip which gave us peace of mind that all was well. She was also extremely conscientious about leaving everything nice and neat and even washed the towels and linens that she used and remade the bed. I would definitely use Anna again if the need arises and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog and/or house sitter.”

17. Mikaela B.
“Mikaela was great with Roadie. He looked like a happy camper when we got home. She was very respectful of our home and to Roadie. She even went a little above and beyond by remembering to move our vehicle on the day that our roof was delivered so they could get as close to the house as possible. We appreciated her staying in our home and taking care of our pup.”
