1. Allison E.
“Allison did a great job caring for our 13-yr old black lab at our house while we were away. She was very accommodating to our old dog’s needs.”
2. Lisa B.
“Lisa was communicative and responsive about Pepper and the two appear to have got along fabulously. Like I don’t think my dog missed me at all. I felt really comfortable knowing she was taking care of my dog in my home. I plan to request her services again very soon.”
3. Abbie K.
“Abbie took very good care of our two puppies. Marty and Machiko liked her a lot. Abbie pays good attention to detail and always kept us updated with pictures each day. We'd definitely use her again in the future!”
4. Ava H.
“Ava house sit for my senior golden retriever for 4 nights. She handled the feed/medication and walk schedules with ease. Ava sent daily updates (with amazing pictures). I have already scheduled her for more. Thank you, Ava, for all of your attention to my senior pup.”
5. Sabrina & Daniel S.
“Sabrina and Daniel house sat for my miniature Australian Shepherd Rosie. Rosie is 5 years old and while she is a sweetheart with her family, she is somewhat reserved with people she doesn’t know well. Sabrina and Daniel read her correctly almost instantly. They won her over with patience and a soft and gentle approach and maybe a few treats. ? They made sure she had all of her favorite things while we were gone: walks, play time, sunbathing, cuddle time and overnight company. Sabrina and Daniel kept us updated with texts and pictures which we very much appreciated. Although it was a holiday (Easter) and I would have understood if their time was limited, they were generous with their time and attention to Rosie. The house and yard were just as we left them. I highly recommend!”
6. Lydia L.
“Lydia was a fantastic dog sitter! I already reached out to her for a second day! She was professional and kind, sent wonderful update photos and most importantly, took great care of our dog, Smalls. Smalls doesn’t always warm to people quickly, but it was clear thats she liked Lydia very soon after they met. I would recommend her to anyone”
7. Tiara W.
“Tiara was fantastic! She house sat for us while watching our 11 year old dog, Gatsby, and 11 year old cat, Zelda. Tiara was communicative and did everything we asked. She was kind and it was clear when we got home that our pets were happy. We really appreciated her flexibility with us during times when we were unsure when we would be home (due to inclement weather). Highly recommend! Thank you so much :)”
8. Maddie A.
“Maddie did another five-day house sit for us again, talking good care of our old cat and energetic dog! She was great (as always) about working with our timing needs (even adjusting as we arrived home a bit earlier than expected due to unexpected flight times). She always treats the house and our beloved pets with care and respect, and this house sit was no different. Thanks Maddie!”
9. Olivia H.
“Oliva was fab! Responded to my last minute request very promptly and was professional and easy to communicate with. My kitten still has a lot of energy and she handled him like a champ lol”
10. Kara K.
“Kara took excellent care of our 2 cats and dog over a long weekend. She stayed at our house and left everything clean and well taken care of. She was in constant communication with us and we would absolutely use her again!”
11. Dana L.
“Dana took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She stayed at our house and took good care of our home too. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did great with him and took him on walks and played with him. Dana left our home in great condition. She provided updates and pictures, which we really appreciate. We would use Dana again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thanks Dana!”
12. Tyler T.
“Tyler took great care of our bunny and our dog! A great houseguest as well, and kept things organized and brought in mail. Really appreciate her!”

16. Aileen L.
“The Rovers I depended on pre Covid moved away and I got used to just being at home with Madison. Aileen is amazing with Madison. Madison knows her as “her people” now and Madison’s mom was able to get away for a day of being around people without any worries. The fact that Madison didn’t scream. Or care really that I left made me have a better day. Thank you!”
17. Tony D.
“Tony provided excellent care for our older and "set in her ways" Golden Retriever. Tony sent many updates and wonderful photos and heartwarming videos. He asked great questions and took excellent care of our home. I would highly recommend Tony for house and pet sitting.”
18. Mandy B.
“Mandy took great care of my pup! She was so kind and reassuring at our meet and greet. She was prompt in responding and sent such good pics! I would book her again in a second!”
19. Kaitlyn B.
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She was responsive and communicated so well while I was on a 3 day trip. Koa was happy and safe when I returned and I received regular updates from Kaitlyn. Would definitely contact her again for future trips :)”
20. Jerilyn S.
“Jerilyn is amazing! I’m super nervous leaving my French bulldogs with anyone overnight as they can be A LOT. Medications, food allergies and special diets, seasonal allergies, and one is in diapers. And I also work from home so they are used to our routine. Jerilyn took such great care of them for almost an entire week while we were out of town. She followed their routines, sent daily pictures and updates, and snuggled them a lot. Sometimes when they are stressed - one of them (Elvis) can take days to get back into his routine. But no challenges at all upon our return! We came home to two very happy and well cared for pups. We highly recommend Jerilyn.”
