Meagan was excellent with our 2 cats. We went on a 2 week vacation and Meagan was flexible with our house sitting schedule. She sent awesome updates and we were at ease that our cats were happy and healthy for our entire trip. From the get go she was communicative and attentive. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!

We recently used Sabrina & Daniel’s services while we went on a 10 day vacation. They were incredibly communicative, punctual, and friendly. They also left the house cleaner than they found it! We felt at ease knowing that they were caring for our dogs. We received daily updates with multiple photos. I will definitely book with Sabrina & Daniel again and recommend them to any other pet owner!

Caleb loooked after our 7-month old Golden Retriver puppy and pet rabbit for 4 days and did a fantastic job! He spent tons of quality time with the animals (lots of walks and time playing outside for the puppy, and pets for the bunny) the house was spotless when we returned home. We would recommend Caleb and will certainly look to book him again when we have a need for a house sitter!

Mandy was the most amazing pup and cat sitter! She was so professional and was the best to have while on our long two week trip. Our pets were just as happy when we got home as we had left them and the house was in perfect shape. We will definitely be recommending and using her again!

Allison did an amazing job watching for our dogs, who are starting to get old. Our bigger dog (husky/malamute mix), has bad separation anxiety and reactivity and she had no problems giving medication and taking care of him. Both of our dogs have high energy and she did a fantastic job taking them out. She also did a great job taking care of our house while sitting for the week we were gone. Very friendly and understanding, highly recommend!

Adrian was a wonderful companion to Kiska during our trip! He sent great updates and took him on long walks every morning. Kiska is an anxious boy but Adrian had a very gentle energy and handled Kiska really well. Our home was left in great condition. Our other Rover cancelled last minute and Adrian was able to come for a meet and greet right away and is clearly very capable with animals. Would definitely hire Adrian again!

My kitty and I are lucky to have found Margaret during this hot weather. She made sure my kitty was cool and comfortable, running my window AC and looking after the house. She was patient with my shy kitty and was great with communication, answering my questions and sending photos. Margaret provided a lot of relief from stress, knowing someone responsible was there to care for my baby boy.

Signe did an amazing job with Maverick. She provided regular updates, communicated possible unusual behavior with Maverick (his periodic nail chewing is unfortunately normal 🙄), brought in mail, left the apartment cleaner than I left it etc. all without my request. Maverick got tons of exercise and got to explore new places, which he loves. Highly recommend and hope to book Signe again in the future.

Nadine is everything you’d want in a dog and house sitter: kind, thorough, caring, thoughtful, and diligent. Upon first meeting her, my reactive dog was completely at ease and warmed right up to her. That told me just about everything. When we returned from a long vacation, our house was in order but more importantly our dog was very well cared for and happy when we got home. Nadine is simply wonderful!

Noah watched my three dogs for four nights. My pitbull has serious anxiety and can be a little unpredictable. Noah knew how to behave around more difficult dogs and was endlessly patient. I felt comfortable leaving them in his care after our first meeting. My dogs couldn't have cared less when I got home which is certainly an indication that they got plenty of attention while I was gone! Noah kept in touch regularly and sent me lots of pictures. I'm very excited to have found a pet sitter I can trust with my dogs and my home.

Ian helped out to cover dog sitting for Ellie very last minute and was such an excellent person for her. He was able to meet on late notice and get to meet Ellie--especially as a dog with more anxiety he definitely knew how to take care of her and be gentle/give her the space she needed to get acclimated. He was very communicative and took great care of Ellie and the space. Definitely would have him watch her again!
