“August is our favorite dog sitter. Roxy loves him. We added a friend’s dog to this visit and he did great with Maggie the lab too. He was kind when she had an accident in the house and clearly interacts with my dog and her dog friends the way I do when I’m home. August is communicative and does a great job. Highly recommend.”

15. Dayna B.
“I can’t recommend Dayna enough for pet sitting! She took exceptional care of my dog Dunkin and my cat Wheskers, and I could tell they both had a wonderful time with her. From the moment I met Dayna, I felt completely at ease knowing she would be watching over my pets. She is incredibly responsible, kind, and genuinely loves animals. Dayna went above and beyond by sending me regular updates, including photos and videos of Dunkin and Wheskers, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. She made sure to stick to their routines, and it was clear they were comfortable and happy in her care. Dunkin, who is a bit shy with new people, warmed up to her quickly, and Whiskers, who’s usually independent, was clearly content and well-looked after. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets like family, but Dayna did just that. I couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future. She’s truly a gem when it comes to pet sitting!”
