“Nala was well loved and cared for, as well as my other small critters that just needed a little checking in on. I loved seeing pictures from all of the adventures of the daily walks and felt completely comfortable with Samantha doing what she needed to do! 20 out of 10! Would highly recommend!”
“Ash house sat our goofy pack of 3 dogs and 3 cats for 4 nights/ 5 days and did a great job, especially as it was our first time away from our younger 2 pups, one of which was a little anxious with separation the first 24hrs. Our pack was fed and got lots of cuddles and playtime and our elderly dog got her meds and care. We received much appreciated updates and photos daily while we were gone and would highly recommend having Ash watch your 4 legged companions.”
“Queenie was great! My pup is a nervous guy but he seemed so comfortable with her and was well taken care of. She sent multiple video and photo updates daily which put me at ease.”
“Julissa is amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. She kept us very informed about her stay and our fur-babies. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ace did a fantastic job with our busy puppy! She kept us updated and sent many pictures of our happy dog. The house was left in great condition! We would certainly use Ace again any time and recommend her 100#. Thank you, Ace for a great job. You put our minds at ease.”
“Annina was amazing! She took such great care of Emma—attentive, responsible, and clearly a true animal lover. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Emma came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend Annina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”
“Great communication while I'm away, both cat and dog are happy and healthy when I return!”

“Donna house sat and watched Indigo (our cat 🐈⬛) for 12 days and she was absolutely wonderful, she kept us updated and sent us pictures. Indigo isn’t really a people person, but when we did the meet and greet he seemed to attach himself to her. And when Donna stayed with him it sounded like they just clicked. Donna kept the house tidied and she even shoveled the snow that we had gotten in mid April. I would highly recommend Donna to watch indigo and our house in the future. In one word she was fabulous.”
“Amber is AMAZING. I have 4 large dogs with all different personalities and she handled them all. She was in constant communication, would send videos and pics. It's so hard to find a trustworthy dog sitter but I felt 100% comfortable with her and my dogs love her. She truly went above and beyond!! And left my house cleaner than how I left it!!”
“Alissa is always welcome in our home and does a great job with Pixie, making sure she gets her walks in and plenty of snuggles in between. She is dependable, and we appreciate that she asks questions if needed.Pixie and her family look forward to having Alissa’s help in the future 🥰🐶”

Minnie is always happy to see her and enjoys her times with Raina. Minnie has lots of anxiety but never has any problems when she is with Raina! I appreciate all the care Raina provides.”
“I wish I could leave a horrible review so that I can keep Alyssa all to ourself, But she was amazing. Prompt, photos, videos and updates. I was beginning to get a little jealous. We will definitely be using Alyssa's services agin. She’s really good with bossy dogs too. Like our Bailey.”
