1. Jocelyn S.
“I am so happy I found Jocelyn! My two small dogs had a blast and were so calm when I picked them up. She was responsible, communicative, kind and compassionate. As we all know, finding a person we can trust to take care of our beloved pets is invaluable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
2. Eve B.
“Eve was great with our pittie! He can be a nervous guy, but she was patient with him and he came home happy and healthy. Eve also noticed some hot spots on his feet and gave me a recommendation on how to treat them - truly above and beyond what we expected :)”
3. Barry W.
“Barry and his dog Shakka are just who we were hoping for. Our active dog seems to have had a really good stay. We got updates with pictures from Barry, that showed us a happy dog. We will be using him again when we can’t take our pup with us. Thanks Barry”
4. Julian H.
“Julian was great with our pup Tuna! Tuna was happy, clean and calm when she came back home to us. She seemed to have had a great time with Julian! Loved receiving the photo updates of how she was doing! Tuna is not always for everyone, but Julian did a great job with her and we felt really safe having her with him. We look forward to booking with Julian again!”
5. Maggie S.
“Maggie is the best sitter ever. I never had to worry when Pepper Jack was in her care. I hope she's doing well and we really miss her in NOLA.”
6. Pimmy D.
“Pimmy took such great care of Wally! She sent us pics daily of their fun outdoor adventures and I could tell he enjoying his vacation as much as we were enjoying ours. Truth be told, he may be a little bored to be home! Thank you Pimmy!”
7. Katherine M.
“Katherine took excellent care of my Parker! She responds very quickly, is flexible, and sent photos/updates during my time away. Will definitely use Katherine for future petsitting needs!”
8. Sarah & Peter B.
“I have use Sarah and Pete a few times now and they have been great hosting Peanut. I receive frequent updates with pictures and they treat him as one of their own. They have even created magnets with pictures of Peanut’s stays which has been a surprise and really fun. Can’t thank them enough and would trust Sarah and Pete to take care of your dog.”
9. Christine & Steven T.
“Christine and Steve are wonderful! They seem very knowledgeable about dogs, especially rescues. Jamie settled in very quickly and made new friends. I would use them again anytime. Really great experience! Thanks very much”
10. Anita G.
“Anita was great with my quirky little Yorkie. She was very understanding about his personality, and her home is really mellow which is great for a dog that's anxious when their owner is away. Her poodle, Fern, is very sweet, too.”
11. Shari G.
“Shari took great care of our two girls and that was no easy task. We have two forty-pound dogs who are very active and love to run around and wrestle with each other. Shari was kind enough to send us daily updates and pictures of how our girls were doing. When we picked them up after our trip they looked well taken care of and they were excited to see us. I highly recommend using Shari's services.”
12. Brittany K.
“Brittany is such a fantastic dog sitter! She was so loving to my dog for a 3 night stay, going above and beyond taking him on walks and loving on him. She gave me detailed updates throughout the stay. I am so happy I found her and will definitely rebook with her next time!”
13. Ashley O.
“So glad I found Ashley to watch my cat while I was out of town! She helpfully offered to do a meet & greet, she's clearly thoughtful and attentive with the pets she watches. I got regular updates while I was out of town and I felt comfortable leaving my cat with her, and I think he had a good time there. Definitely I'd recommend Ashley as a sitter.”
14. Dawn M.
“Beatriz loved her stay!!! She was accepted into the 4-legged and 2-legged packs. Dawn provided the most loving care for Beatriz and sent me frequent photos and updates. I plan to be a returning client.”
15. Lisa M.
“Lisa was great! My dog can get pretty sad and anxious while I’m away and he felt comfortable enough at her house to perk up, chill out and be his happy normal self. She took great care of him and followed his quirky list of directions well! Will definitely try to book her again in the future.”
16. Michelle I.
“Michelle took great care of Cheeky. She sent plenty of pictures where my dog seemed very happy/comfortable, and she even made a little scarf for her. I’d absolutely leave my dog with her again.”
17. Alea K.
“This was my second time having Alea watch my dog. She made sure to communicate daily with pictures and pupdates. She even offered to take him to the vet when there was a medical concern. She’s a great sitter and I will definitely continue to book with her!”
18. Saphara H.
“Saphara took great care of Pia for me twice in one week! I will definitely reach out again if I need care. It seemed like Pia had a great time 😊💗”
19. Holly H.
“Murphy's stay couldn't have been better - Holly was exceptional! She updated us daily with photos & notes - we could see Murphy was well cared for while we were traveling. We could tell Murphy would have been very happy to move right in with Holly's family. Thank you so much Holly for your kindness!”
