“James was absolutely amazing! He house sat for us while we were away in Europe, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our Rosie. He sent us pictures and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was so clear that he and Rosie quickly became best friends. We came home to a happy, well-loved pup and are just so grateful for the care and attention he gave her. We feel incredibly lucky to have found James and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby!”

“Cj is wonderful. He is kind, professional, responsible and thorough. We couldn’t be more grateful. Cj took care of our elderly Simon and our house for three days. He sent updated photos of himself during walks and meals, which gave us peace of mind. We definitely recommend Cj to anyone who wants their pets to be in the best hands. We are planning our next trips to call Cj again. 😃”

“Vivian is an absolute gem - book her and you won't go wrong! We can't say enough good things about Vivian. She stayed at our house for over three weeks while we were away at our daughter's wedding, and she took care of everything like it was her own home. Organized, responsible, and clearly cares deeply about animals - she is a genuine dog whisperer. Our dog Duke absolutely loved her. He's usually a bit particular about new people, but Vivian won him over almost instantly and kept him happy, comfortable, and on routine the entire time we were gone. The level of care and communication throughout the three weeks gave us total peace of mind during our big family event. And as if that weren't enough, she baked us cookies for when we got home - an incredibly thoughtful touch that really says everything about who she is! Top notch, first rate, A+++. We'll be sure to book Vivian for our trips going forward and we recommend her without reservation.”

About: Hi, I’m Dawn and I have been a pet parent for over 25 years to rabbits, guinea pigs and 4 dogs with 2 of them of senior age. All 4 dogs were raised since they were puppies and they are currently based in my hometown with my parents when I moved here. My intuition and experience allow me to provide your pet with the best care and most comfortable environment away from home, so rest assured that they are in good hands. Let’s chat! I’m mostly available during weekdays from 7am to 12 midnight and certain weekends. Date and timings can be further discussed if you require my services. I have a balcony at home and have space available for your pet to roam around freely if needed. Happy to chat more to see what else you’ll require

“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”

About: I have trained puppies with tremendous success over the last 45 years for the specific purpose and task required in accordance with the particular breed. They are an interictal part of my daily existence. I thoroughly enjoy their devotion and accompaniment. Dogs love to be around me. I love them. When I do home care for dogs I reassure them that all is the same in their environment. They feel save and secure. They relax.

I would highly recommend Vivian! She was thoughtful to keep me updated with photos and comments on the state of my elderly dog. She is experienced and was attentive to my detailed instructions. I appreciate her going the extra mile stripping the bed and straightening everything up before I arrived home. Thank you!

James was AMAZING!! we were a little nervous to book a 5 day sitter for our new, 13 week old puppy but felt immediately comfortable with James! He offered to come in person for a meet & greet before even booking the sit and came by once more before the sit dates so our pup, Otis, could get familiar and comfortable with him. During the sit, we were put completely at ease because James sent updates and pictures every few hours so we never had to question if everything was OK back home. Otis was a happy, healthy, and well behaved boy when we returned and honestly missed his new friend! James even went as far as letting us borrow his dog carrier for a while because he noticed Otis’s had a small rip. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we will 100% book him again and again!

This was our first time using a pet sitter in the home. Ian lived up to the stellar reviews! Our animals were well cared for and loved. Even our very reticent cat loved Ian. We thought she would just hide- but Ian had her purring! Our house was left in perfect condition. Our senior dog received 3 walks per day and lots of love! After a long journey home - it was wonderful to be greeted by 2 very happy and well cared for pets and a sparkling clean house. I’m so happy we found Ian!

Kate was a life saver! When our normal dog sitter couldn’t make it last minute, she was around on very late notice (like 8 hours) to help watch our dog for the weekend. She sent plenty of updates, was very timely, and kept our place spotless. Would absolutely book her again!

Amanda was absolutely wonderful with Scout! She kept us updated throughout the entire weekend and went above and beyond to make sure Scout was happy and comfortable. She even handled a little tummy trouble and changing the sheets on one of our beds without hesitation. She also took Scout to her family’s home so she could run around in their big backyard, which was completely above and beyond and so incredibly thoughtful. It was clear throughout the weekend how much love and affection she gave Scout. We would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a sitter. She is kind, trustworthy, thoughtful, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again!

I have never left our crew for this long before, and Hadil made me feel very confident to do so. She is a smart, caring, and resourceful woman who shared updates and kept everyone happy and safe while we were gone. In addition to the cats, she also cared for our barn animals as well. My elderly in-laws, who live on the property, enjoyed visiting with her as a person and told me that I most definitely made the right choice!

Marina was amazing taking care of our dog! She communicated with us throughout her time caring for our dog and made sure we were kept in the loop with a lot of pictures. Marina followed our care instructions perfectly and gave our dog extra attention and care right after we left because she was a little anxious.
