1. jessica k.
“Jessica was great!!! She stayed in our home while we went on a camping trip. We had very limited internet access but I felt totally comfortable with Jessica watching our two dogs, cat and the neighbor’s bonus cat who also visits. Everything went well and we will definitely rebook her!”
2. Shykala B.
“Shykala agreed to watch my dog at my home on short notice while I was away for the weekend. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule in order to do a meet and greet with my dog, who is anxious around new people. While I was away, she sent multiple updates, photos, and maps showing the routes she walked with my dog. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it and shykala had taken the trouble to strip the bedsheets and take out the trash. I will definitely be asking her to watch my fur baby again!”
3. Connie A.
“Connie loves my dog Lady! I feel so comfortable having her take care of her and my house when I am out of town. She was great with pics, updates and check-ins. I will definitely book with Connie again.”
4. Jenna S.
“Jenna did an excellent job caring for our two dogs, plants and home! One of our dogs is a puppy and can be a bit of a handful and Jenna managed him well, communicated with us openly, and sent such adorable photos! We will definitely ask her to sit again. THANK YOU, Jenna!”
5. Dani R.
“Dani did a great job of keeping me posted on how things were going and sending me photos of my fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Dani!”
6. Ciboney R.
“Ciboney was the sweetest house guest and took such good care of our elderly pup. He is a older and nervous but still thinks he is a puppy so boarding him at a friends or pet hotel doesn't work with his nerves. She was polite and helpful even when the power went out for a day. Don't hesitate to work with her!”
7. Justine B.
“Justine was very sweet and she and our Rita hit it off right away. She sent lots of photos while we were away and the house was spotless upon our return. Justine was a great communicator, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease leaving our girl with her while we traveled.”
8. Konnor T.
“Konnor was a great sitter! So easy to communicate with and was great with the boys during the initial meeting. The dogs were barely excited to see us when we got home so they were probably tired out, which we love! Thanks again, Konnor!”
9. Gretchen G.
“Gretchen did a great job with our two high energy pups. Plus when we got home our house was absolutely spotless. It was so nice to come home to happy pups and a clean house.”
10. Marykay B.
“Once again, Marykay took excellent care of my dog and my house. I am thoroughly satisfied with her services and highly recommend her. Her reliability and care provide peace of mind every time. Highly recommended!”
11. Jaime & Josh S.
“Jaime and Josh were very sweet with our pups and flexible in accommodating our travel dates. Both the dogs and the house seemed great when we got home! Thank you!!”
12. Kaitlin K.
“Kaitlin was amazing! Patient, present and loving with our pup. She communicated well and gave us confidence while we were away. Highly recommend her for house and pet sitting!”
13. Linnea K.
“Ro did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Roxie, and cat, Vegetable. Ro was very responsive and communicative and our pets were clearly well cared for while we were out of town. Thank you, Ro! We hope to book with you again soon!”
14. Anna S.
“Anna’s simply the best, she handles our slightly-silly pup with ease and is a great communicator. She cares for the pets as if they were her own, and isn’t that what we all want?!”
15. Laura A.
“Laura took great care of our two dogs, including some special quirks and medication. Really appreciate the good communication and regular updates!”
16. Gabrielle F.
“Our experience with Gabrielle, could not have been better. We could tell by her daily pictures and notes how well our two cats responded to her. She followed their care instructions to the letter and went the extra mile (which wasn’t expected) by cleaning up and washing/drying the sheets and towels that she used. It really looked as though we hadn’t left. This was a 12 day trip, so that’s saying a lot. We are so grateful to have found her and will try to reserve with her in the future.”
17. Sarah K.
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my dog when he was just a week post-surgery. She kept him calm, gave his meds, and provided the extra care needed. Looking forward to having Sarah back in the future!”
18. Rachel K.
“Rachel took great care of our pets, and I could tell they fell in love with her because they were smiling so big in every picture she sent! Would definitely choose her again.”
19. Tatiana L.
“Piper received such good care with Tatiana- she got walked, fed, loved and trained to help learn “quiet”. I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Tatiana knowing how attentive she would be throughout her stay!”
20. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte gave great care to our German Shepherd while we were out of town for three days. He was calm when we got home, so we know he got what he needed.”
