“Nicole was great! She was a trooper when my pup locked her out of the house! She was attentive and sent lots of updates and pictures! She walked him and threw the ball endlessly! Would definitely recommend!”
“Janelle was wonderful when dog/cat sitting for us! Attentive in every detail and provided as many updates as we needed. We will be booking again with Janelle! Highly recommend! Our dog was so happy when we returned and enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Trish was an excellent house sitter and took great care of our cat and dog. The house was just the way we left it. She gave our pup his meds everyday. She sent pictures and updates daily of the pets. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Erin was the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She kept us updated each day, was patient with our stressed kitty, managed the logistics of an house with multiple animals all with different care needs, and left the house clean at the end of the stay. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
“McKenna was wonderful! Not only did she take great care of my two dogs and two cats while we were gone for two weeks, but she also helped coordinate with my landlord while we were gone to get something fixed at the house. Highly recommend!”
“Ellie is so sweet and my dog, Barbara, loved her so much! Barbara can be a bit shy at first but Ellen got on the ground and played with her slowly and calmly until she was comfortable during our meet and greet. Her communication, attention to detail, and love for Barbara was such a relief while away. Ill call Ellen anytime I need help with Barbara!”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”
“Sunnie was fantastic! Our dog can be weird with new people, but he warmed up quickly to her and even let her walk him on the first day. She did a great job with communication and sent us lots of pictures. It was clear that she had thoroughly read my long instructions packet. We had a great vacation because we knew our animals were being well cared for!”
“Sydney is amazing! Our (rescued) dog is incredibly codependent and naturally anxious, so she does best to have someone with her when my husband and I are gone for an entire day - Sydney helped watched her, and when we came home our pup was nice and relaxed - a fantastic sign that she was well loved! We’ll definitely be booking Sydney again :)”
“Robin was great! My little fur babies were happy and healthy when we got home. I am very grateful for her attention to them :o) She also was exceptional with communication during our trip!”
“Ashlyn was great with my dog! He can be nervous and a little awkward especially around new people but he seemed to love her. I wasn’t constantly worried about what they were doing which allowed me to enjoy my trip more.”
“Nice was an awesome dog sitter for my pitbull! She was very responsive and kept me up to date with daily messages throughout the stay. I would highly recommend and use her again for future pup sitting! :)”
“Raislynn was great as usual, and took good care of our two dogs and home. I will happily book with her in the future and would suggest her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Alyssa handled our little anxious dogs like a champ. It was one of my dogs first times staying with a new person. They were both pretty stubborn but she still worked through it and gained their trust. She sent daily updates and pictures. I sincerely appreciate her for battling through their mischief! I would 100% hire her again”
“Stephanie is a very attentive and communicative pet sitter. She sent me multiple pictures and detailed updates throughout the time she spent with my boys, giving me peace of mind while being away. She dropped in as often as she said she would and followed directions. My pets were happy and healthy when I got home. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Couldn't be happier with Montana! Fantastic communication. Lots of photos and updates. This was our first trip away from our 10 month old puppy, and Montana made us feel totally comfortable and went above and beyond as a house sitter and dog sitter to make it all as easy for us as possible. Highly recommend Montana! Will definitely use her next time we travel. Thank you, thank you!!!”
“Niki was great with our dogs even though one of them hid for half the time she was with them. She always checked in with updates and pics of the dogs! We’ll definitely be booking with Niki again.”

Courtney was fantastic with our dog and two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. She took great care of our pets and even understood how to handle one of our more spicy cats! Will absolutely have her over again in the future to watch our pets!
McKenna was a great sitter for our 5 month old pup, Honey! She stayed with Honey for 3 nights and was a great communicator and sent pics and updates. I was never worried that she was going to dissappear. When we got back Honey was in a good mood and the house was in great shape. We hope to have her back next time we leave town. Thank you, McKenna!!
Miriam was the best sitter I've had for Gus in years! During our meet & greet, she brought her own questions about my home and her stay which felt proactive. Before her stay with Gus, we chatted about last minute questions and details, and she was flexible and communicative with me about her arrival time. During her stay, she was extremely communicative with tons of detailed updates and pictures of Gus, and I really appreciated that if she had a question about something, she didn't hesitate to ask. When we got home, our house was immaculate - she even vacuumed! Highly recommend booking Miriam to stay with your fur babies!
Eva watched our two large, active dogs in our home and was amazing! She sent daily updates and pictures, and our house looked exactly as we left it. Honestly, she could charge double for the level of care she provides. We came home to two very happy dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies and will definitely have her watch mine again in the future!
Gabrielle was great! She took care of my 19yr old cat who needs meds every 12 hrs, as well as my crazy energy 1yr old doxie and she was great with them both. Sent me pics regularly and took good care of the house while we were gone on our 5 day trip. I will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip and recommend her for anyone looking for overnight stays!
It’s been difficult for my partner and I to leave town. We have three doggies that are high energy and require a lot of attention. Isabel stayed at the house with the doggies while we were gone and took amazing care of them. She was communicative and would send photos of every meal and play time. She honestly gave us peace of mind while we were away so we didn’t have to worried about our little ones. I would definitely recommend Isabel to anyone needing a sitter and will hopefully be booking with her again in the future!
Jocelyn was absolutely incredible with our little girl! From the moment we met at the meet and greet until our time away from home ended we felt at ease! We got tons of updates and our home was cleaner than when we left. Marci had tons of fun with her we could tell as well. Thank you so much Jocelyn!
Vanessa was absolutely amazing—10/10, highly recommend, and I would trust her without hesitation to stay in our home with our pets again. She is extremely professional, communicates clearly and consistently, and both my dog and cat loved having her stay at the house. Vanessa came over for an initial visit prior to the booking and was wonderful with her introduction approach with my dog, which immediately showed her knowledge, experience, and genuine care for animals. Leading up to the stay, she was very communicative and thorough in confirming details, which I really appreciated. During her stay, we experienced a power outage in Boulder. Vanessa was incredibly understanding, flexible, and proactive, staying in constant communication about the situation. This gave me great confidence that both the house and the animals were being well cared for despite the circumstances. She sent multiple daily updates, which provided peace of mind while we were away. Vanessa left the house extremely clean and treated our home with great respect. It was obvious that everything—and everyone—was well taken care of. She did an outstanding job, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I would 100% rebook with Vanessa. Thank you for taking such great care of our animals and for the peace of mind while we were away.
I got lucky here. She deserves way more than this review + 5 stars! Elisiya is the absolute best and came in clutch during the holidays. She is very kind and thoughtful and will make sure your fur baby gets all the love and attention they could ask for. She does a great job keeping you in the loop and taking your buddy with her on her time off. She took care of our home, and she even made me food for when I get back! Although don't expect that kind of rockstar service all the time - wouldn't want her to get taken advantage of! Seriously the best sitter and person I could ever know!
Dakota did an excellent job taking care of our pups and our house while we were out of town over the holidays. Our younger chihuahuas has medical complexities that require 8+ pills over the course of 3 times a day, and Dakota was diligent and provided consistent updates. He kept excellent care of our place at home and left it in even better than we left it. We’re so grateful to have a trustworthy, caring person to trust with our pups.
