“Rayann helped us out in a pinch which allowed us to go on our vacation. She is very responsive and communicated with my other sitter for a handoff, as my other sitter had to go out of town. I appreciated her being willing to coordinate and be flexible. Thank you Rayann!”

“Molly was the BEST! She watched my 11 week old Airedale terrier puppy who was very much still at a needy and annoying age, and she was amazing. So attentive and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest and was a great teacher & playmate for my puppy. I would 100% recommend her!!”

“Dianne and Mackenzie were great dog sitters. They picked him up at my house when the snow was over a foot deep, and dropped him off. They sent pics every day several times a day, and Sammie looked so happy! They brushed him a lot, and insisted that they give him their own treats that I didn’t need to bring my own. They were very communicative and it seemed like sammie got along with their dog and was doing very well over there. Id definitely use them again! So glad I found them last minute before my surgery. Thanks again!”

“I highly recommend Emily! My dog is 100 pounds and has some separation anxiety but did great with Emily! He got along great with her pup and even seemed to miss her dog when he left. She walked him daily and sent pics daily. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate pick up and drop off times with. He’s stayed with her twice so far and I will definitely have Emily watch him again in the future.”

“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”

Mary was fantastic! I have an extremely anxious dog (he gets nervous at anything he isn’t familiar with). She did a great job of making him feel at home and has two dogs that played really well with him. She gave us daily updates on our dog and he seemed very comfortable when we picked him up. We will definitely be booking with Mary again!

Yodie had a great weekend staying with Rayann and her family! Rayann was easy to get in touch and communicate with. She ensured Yodie had everything he needed and got all love and attention he needed to feel comfortable while I was away. Would definitely recommend Rayann and will be reaching out again when I need a sitter in the future!

I had such a wonderful experience leaving Baelfire with Olivia! She was incredibly kind, polite, and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated and was caring and attentive with Baelfire. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pet with someone new, but I felt comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾❤️

This was my first time using Katie and I was a little skeptical about finding a "new" person to watch my dog while I was out of town. However, Katie made the process very easy and she sent numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. It put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using her again. Buckeye (my dog) was well taken care of while he was with her.
