1. Kyle J.
“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”

“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”
3. Anna B.
“Anna stayed at our house for a week to dogsit our American Staffie. He was a very sad boy the first couple days we were gone and by the time we got back, he was so sad that she had left that he refused to get out of the car when it was time to go for his first walk since she left. She took him for two walks a day, even had to bathe him when he rolled on a dead fish, and sent pix and texts to keep us updated. Now she’s one of only two people we call when we travel. Our dog loves her and we know that we can trust her to love on him while we’re gone and take great care of him!”
4. Carly S.
“carly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups and my older kitty. my pups are high energy and high velcro so they need to walk about 6 miles a day and a lot of cuddle time, she was more than happy to take care of their needs. carly sent a lot of pictures which i really appreciate and was on time for all of the check-ins we discussed. i’m a helicopter mom so i always like more messages and updates but she did a great job, i look forward to booking with carly again!”
5. Keaton C.
“Keaton always takes wonderful care of our "kids" and our home. Even our shy kitty Diana felt comfortable with him, and our dog with separation anxiety always feels better having him around. Thanks so much, Keaton!”
6. Emily D.
“Emily is the best! She’s stayed at our place with our dog and cat multiple times and we’ve had the best experiences each time. Emily even sent me a picture and update here and there throughout our trip. When we got back it was clear they were happy and well taken care of. 🥰”
7. jordan g.
“Jordan was so great!!! She took great care of Cooper and my home. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos. I would absolutely use Jordan again!”
8. Steven K.
“Steven was great. He took excellent care of four animals. He kept in close contact with us throughout his stay (even providing us an update on a tree that fell in our neighbor's yard during a storm). Our animals and home were well taken care of, and I would recommend Steven to anyone.”
9. Robin L.
“Robin’s reviews speak for themselves. She took care of our pup and home for 6 days. We got daily pictures and updates, and came home to a happy girl and spotless apartment. We would happily book with Robin again! :)”
10. Amanda M.
“Amanda was incredible with our dogs. She was so communicative which we really appreciated and we knew our dogs were getting a lot of attention and love. We will be using her again!”
11. Egon P.
“Emily did a fantastic job as usual! Neko was very relaxed when we got back from our trip and the apartment looked exactly how we left it. I cannot recommend her enough!”
12. Ryan G.
“Ryan was awesome. He took excellent care of our dogs and cat and was so mindful of the fact that my older dog has some anxiety. When we got home our pups seemed happy and not stressed in the slightest. I would not hesitate to book him again and I appreciate how communicative he was during our time out of town. Thank you Ryan!”
13. Amber C.
“What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!”
14. Rita D.
“Rita a such a sweet and responsible dog sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and sent me cute pics of my dog to reassure me everything was great. Communication was spot on and our pup seemed very happy!”
15. Ana R.
“This is the second time I've booked Ana to house/dog sit and could not be more pleased. She truly is an animal lover and took care of my two as if they were her own as well as maintaining my house. I HIGHLY recommend Ana, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Ana you're the best!”
16. Steffan S.
“Our dogs loved Steffan! We were able to fully enjoy our weekend away knowing they were being so well taken care of! We appreciated the updates and will definitely be reaching back out to Steffan for our next trip!”
17. Cindy S.
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
18. Kayla E.
“Kayla took excellent care of my dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and the house was super clean when we came home. Would definitely book with her again!”
19. Kristin M.
“Kristin was great with our dogs. They were both really shy at first and hesitant but warmed up quickly. She did everything expected and more.”
20. Cassie M.
“Cassie was AWESOME with my dog Terror. She sent me daily photos, she kept my space clean without my asking, she made me feel so so comfortable having a new person in my space with my dog. I will definitely be using her again next time I’m out of town and would recommend her to anyone and everyone ?”
