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!

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!

Amanda’s care for my senior golden retriever was loving and gentle. She was attentive, accommodated his routine and encouraged him to overcome a few things he is very leery of. She took excellent care of my home, leaving it clean and neat. I would highly recommend Amanda.

I had a great experience having Tyler watch my big Malinois boy! Her communication was top-notch. Despite one of the buses she needed to get over to my place failing to show up, she still arrived in time for me to head out the door on schedule, due to how early she headed out herself. She gave Ash plenty of things to do and he had a great time. Would happily have her watch him again!

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!

Jenna was wonderful! From the moment we began corresponding, she was attentive and knowledgeable and friendly. She was so patient and gentle with our senior pup, and she made us feel so relaxed knowing our dog and our home were in such good hands. Jenna went above and beyond in so many different ways - making sure our dog got all of her meds, not an easy feat; finding creative ways to encourage her to eat when she was being finicky; communicating regularly with pictures and updates, and not hesitating to reach out with any questions or concerns. Jenna left our house spotless, like she hadn't spent over a week there, and her attentive touches to our home did not go unnoticed. I'm so grateful to her for making my trip as relaxing as it was. Jenna feels more like a friend than a dog sitter. She's trustful and kind, and I can't recommend her enough!

Kellye provided great care for all my 'fur babies.' She went above and beyond, visiting us before the booking and even staying late on the day of my return. She managed my senior dog’s complex medical and dietary needs with ease, all while keeping the house clean and the pets happy. I highly recommend Kellye and would absolutely trust her with my pets again. Thank you, Kellye!

These guys were really marvelous. Very nice people who truly love animals and took such amazing care of my nervous little dog. Maisie warmed up to them super fast during our meet-and-greet. They were very patient with her; she is lovely but just scared of everything. They sent lots of photos and updates, and Maisie looked super happy with them. It allowed me to really relax on our vacation, knowing Maisie was being truly loved and cared for. Can't put a price on that!! I already booked them for our next trip. They are super responsive, left the house immaculate, and went above and beyond. Really A+++
