Jo was incredible and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was very responsive and kept us well informed on how our dog was doing. We would definitely have her watch our dog again!

We were so happy with how well Tracy did with our two cats. Our boy kitty, who has always been exceptionally shy around guests and especially sitters, warmed up to cuddle with her very quickly. Tracy was very respectful of our space too, which has an overwhelming amount of specialized gear. We returned home to very happy, comfortable cats, who wanted to cuddle immediately, something which never has happened with sitters that we've had before. Tracy also gave very detailed updates about the goings on of both our cats as well. Highly recommended and if we are lucky, we will definitely book with her again.

LaTamarra took incredible care of both my dog and cat as a drop in visit sitter. She came by 2-3 times a day while playing, walking, and feeding both of my fur babies. She sent frequent updates via texts, videos, and pictures. She was very responsible and I felt secure knowing that my pets were in good hands while I traveled. I highly recommend LaTamarra as a pet sitter and am grateful I found her!

Kody is wonderful!! She was so sweet and understanding with my rescue pups. They loved her and were very well taken care of. Even my shyboy, who sometimes won't let anyone put a leash on him warmed right up to her and enjoyed his walks. She kept in great touch with me, sending pics and updates so I was in the loop, and I came home to find them happy and calm. Thanks so much Kody!!!

Kat is an exceptional professional - the dog sitter of dreams. In addition to taking such excellent care of Nora, Kat truly accelerated Nora’s training in a matter of days, and taught us more about how to best care for our recently arrived beloved pup. You would be so lucky for Katherine to mind your pets 💜

Van was absolutely amazing with my Frenchie, Bruno. From the start, her communication was outstanding—she was very responsive and kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Bruno was well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I truly appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was throughout the entire stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Van again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and communicative to care for their dog.

Kit was walked, played with, fed and so well cared for, we’ll definitely be repeat clients! And the house was left spotless which is the icing on the cake after returning from a two week trip. She went above and beyond!
