“Jon was so great! He communicated consistently and cared for my cats and dogs as if they were his own. I loved receiving daily pictures and hearing how everyone was doing. He went above and beyond with his care for our pets and our home.”


7. Kirsten L.


“Kirsten was a great dog sitter to our Jade. She had great communication with timing and during our trip. We will definitely choose her again!”


8. Katrina D.

“Katrina is a true animal lover who was great with my hyper 45-lb hound mix Sage. She's been on a couple of walks and one overnight housesit. I trust her to keep Sage (an unpredictable bolter when spotting squirrels) safe on the leash and reliabily show up for each walk, even accommodating last minute schedule changes. Katrina took good care of my house while we were gone and even picked up some bone shards that could have been a choking hazard. To top it all off, I got a selfie of Katrina & Sage snuggling in bed. Sage will be looking forward to her new caretaker's return soon.”


9. Molly M.

“Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!”


10. Anya G. S.

“Anya is a kind and thoughtful sitter! We really appreciated their help and I know our dog did too. Sent lots of pictures and updates.”


11. Sasha M.


“Sasha did a wonderful job of keeping our anxious munchkins happy while we were away all week. It was so nice to get regular updates about their day and not have to worry about anything. She also left our house pristine, and was always easy to reach.”


12. Rafaela Y.

“Great communication! Lots of photos and walks, Cocoa had a great time and I would definitely book again!”


13. Faith F.
“Faith would make an exceptional fur baby sitter or walker because she is a warm, animal-loving person who grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and gerbils. Faith has a lot of experience taking care of her own pets and is a kind and careful person who is very aware of her surroundings. This attention to her surroundings coupled with her warm and nurturing personality will ensure any pets she cares for will be kept safe and made to feel loved.”




14. Marlita M.

“Cannot say enough! Marli was wonderful. After meeting the first time, we knew Bowie would be in great hands. Regular updates throughout the week and came home to a very happy dog! Would 100% recommend Marli to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much”

16. Radha G.

“Radha was great! She took good care of Willie, and would would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Tara was fantastic! I couldn’t believe how attentive and wonderful she was to my pup. Winston is half blind and a senior, but Tara was able to accommodate all of his needs and was incredibly gracious and kind every step of the way. Winston loved her and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone, and Tara allayed all of my concerns. Fantastic work!”
