1. Miguel T.



“Miguel took excellent care of our German Shepard, we came home to a happy dog! He is kind, professional and consistently sent us picture updates to give us peace of mind. Will definitely rebook Miguel in the future!”


2. Zoe K.

“Zoe stayed with my Dachshund for two days while I was on a work trip. She was excellent with Samson and completely attentive to our needs. She sent pictures and practiced excellent communication. It was truly a piece of mind to have her help. Her and samson became great friends and we look forward to using her services again:) Thanks Again, Zoe!”


3. Olivia S.

“Olivia was great! Sent pictures of my furbabies and did a great job with them. Will definitely have her watch my three dogs again in the future.”


4. Kristina F.

“Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.”


5. Karen D.

“Karen is one of the most kind, caring people I have ever met! She treated our pups and cat with so much love. This was the first time we’ve been able to really enjoy a vacation in a long time without feeling worried or guilty about leaving our pets. We loved the daily pictures and updates! Honestly, I think my dogs are sad because they miss Karen and Clover! Thank you so very much for treating our pets like your own!”


6. Kara P.

“Kara was amazing with my girls. This was the first time leaving them with someone outside of family and she made me feel really at ease. I cant recommend her enough.”


7. Genie K.


“Genie was Ah. Mazing. She sent us pictures of and updates on our doggos everyday, and brought treats and toys to keep them happy. She was even able to walk our 110lb Great Pyrenees. She went above and beyond to keep the house clean (e.g wiped the big doggos paws after going outside, cleaned up our little senior's accident) and managed medication. Genie's communication was so thorough and professional. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND (to my detriment 'cause I'm worried y'all will book her up and she won't be available for us next time ?)”


8. Averie R.

“Highly recommended Averie to anyone, especially people with dogs with separation anxiety! Averie worked great with my girl, who is fearful of most people, and by the end of Amara and Averie’s first time together Amara was very comfortable with her. Averie also was super knowledgeable and was able to give me tips to start working with Amara on her separation anxiety. Overall, the experiences I’ve had with Averie this far have put me at ease knowing I have someone I, and Amara, trust for future stays.”


9. Melissa S.


“Melissa was amazing with our 2 little dogs! They loved her from moment they met her. She sent me pictures throughout the night to keep me updated. One of our dogs needs medication throughout the day & she was able to give him his meds no problem. We will definitely use her services again! Thanks Melissa!”


10. Kaycee P.

“Kaycee gave my fur baby so much love and was fantastic about walking him. Jax loved it and loves her—you can tell she loves fur babies! Kaycee is dependable, trustworthy and kept me updated with cute pictures of Jax on his walks and at home. I was always excited to check my phone. Thank you, Kaycee and I’ll definitely use you again! Jax misses you already😊😊😊”


11. Adam G.

“Adam was fantastic! He lavished our dogs with attention and lovin's just as we hoped he would. They quickly took to him and were comfortable enough to nap on him. The house was just as clean as we left it so that was nice to come home to. Would recommend to anyone ?”


12. Fabian L.

“Fabian has a calm energy who really loves animals. Thank you for watching Morpheus, my handsome, senior blind Pit Bull.”


13. Dominic B.

“Dominic is amazing! He stayed with our pups over Christmas while we were away visiting family. He’s super responsive and communicative and took great care of them and our home! We’ll be booking with him again!”


14. Riley P.

“Riley was amazing with our animals. When she came over to meet us and our dogs, she took thorough notes to make sure nothing would be overlooked. While we were away, her communication was above and beyond. When we got back from our trip, the house looked great, sheets were washed and our dogs were happy. I will definitely be reaching out to Riley anytime I need someone to look after my dogs again!”


15. Anna B.

“Anna did an amazing job sitting our 2 dogs! She was timely to respond, kept our home clean, and took excellent care of our pups. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”


16. Lindsey R.
“Lindsey is so very sweet and patient and most importantly responsible. I trust her with my fur babies and they love her too! She can care for our poochies any time! 🤗”




17. Diana G.

“Diana was great! We were nervous leaving our dogs as we’ve never left them with anyone but family, and she made us feel at ease right away. She sent photo updates, and answered any questions I had very quickly. Highly recommend!”


18. Dominic P.
“My dog Rumble absolutely loves Dominic. Whether he is going for a walk, getting his nails trimmed or getting a bath, he just loves being with him. Dominic really cares for dogs and has the drive to do anything he can to help and take care of them.”


19. Mariah C.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mariahand the care she provides for animals. Her love for all animals is deeply genuine and shines through in everything she does. Whether it’s taking the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, going out of her way to make sure they’re comfortable and happy, or simply offering them loving companionship, Mariah treats every animal like her own. She’s incredibly responsible and dependable, always showing up with a smile and a calm presence that animals naturally gravitate toward. I’ve seen her go above and beyond more times than I can count. From making late-night check-ins, hand-preparing meals for picky eaters, and even sitting with anxious pets just to reassure them they’re safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Mariah is that rare kind of person you can trust wholeheartedly.”


20. Lily S.

“Lily was amazing! She sent messages and photos throughout the day letting me know how Noah was doing. I did not worry at all while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone that is need of a great dog sitter. I will be using her again in the future.”
