1. Aurora R.
“Had a great experience with Aurora with my two pups. Good communication, on time, pups had a nice time. Would definitely work with her again.”
2. Katie T.
“We had last minute plans and Katie came to our rescue! One of our dogs just had a minor surgery and one was full of energy - and both were well taken care of during our day trip. Thank you!!”
3. Travis M.
“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”
4. Tina B.
“We had Tina meet our dogs to make sure she would want to do it. We have a needy Bulldog and a protective Mix. By the time Tina left our house, the dogs were great with her. She sent pictures and updates on the dogs daily and everything they were bothering her with, they bother our family with when were home. So we knew the dogs were comfortable. We will definitely seek out Tina in the future.”
5. Lexi L.
“Wow, just wow. Lexi is beyond amazing. She went above and beyond while taking care of my boys and leopard gecko. Daily updates and communication made us feel at ease while out of town. We have one dog with an ACL tear and is pending surgery, she was comfortable with his meds and didn't hesitate to ask questions to make him as comfortable as possible. We had a fair amount of snow when we were gone and she even shoveled for us even though we arranged someone to do it. She goes above and beyond to make the owners as well as pets very comfortable. We will book with her again.”
6. Salem E.
“Salem did a great job taking care of my two dogs. They stayed over at my house (cared for the dogs in my home while I was gone multiple days) and left things in good shape. They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”
7. Tonisha A.
“Tonisha has taken care of our pups before for drop in visits and walks. This service was for overnight and as usual, she did an outstanding job! My pups love her so we know they are always well cared for:)”
8. Kooy B.
“Kooy was so gentle and patient with our very nervous and wary dog. He has an excellent sense for canine body language and took wonderful care of our cat, fish, and our home, too. Highly recommend him!”
9. Kim K.
“Awesome with all the dogs. Kim did a wonderful job looking after our 3 babies, took them for a nice walk and fed them in the morning before leaving for work.”
10. Zachary S.
“Zachary went above and beyond from organizing a meet and greet before pet sitting to ensuring my house was clean when I came home. He took great care of my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Zachary again.”
11. Anna O.
“Anna did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and cat. She sent us regular updates and pictures, including the cutest picture of our dogs by the Christmas tree! The house was looking good when we got home too. Thanks Anna!”
12. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie took excellent care of our 4 year old poodle, bonding with him immediately and taking him on nice walks and keeping him happy while we were gone. She even brought her own long leash so he could run around at the park while she made sure he couldn’t take off. Very kind, conscientious sitter!”
13. Leah B.
“Leah was great with my 2 dogs and 2 kitties. They liked her and wanted to nap on her and play with her. She sent a couple pictures while we were gone which is nice for my kids to see. The house was neat and tidy when we got home, which I love, as I left it that way.”
14. Annmarie S.
“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”
15. Willem A.
“This was our first time using Willem for house sitting, the boys were very happy when we got home and everything was in order. We are very happy and will be using him again!”
16. Tessa D.
“Tessa was great at communicating with us and always responded quickly. She took our pup on walks and played in the backyard with him. She stayed overnight with him and we couldn’t be any happier. Would highly recommend for others!”
17. Lily B.
“Lily is fantastic! She’s great with our shy dog and so sweet to have brought him a new toy and bone! She left the place clean and was extremely flexible with us. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would.”

“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”
19. Caden K.
“Caden is the most caring and empathetic person I know. He has a warm and approachable vibe that draws people and animals to him. Children especially feel safe with him. His patience and desire to teach is evident in his constant interest in learning himself”
