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.

Violet was great with our dogs. They can be a bit high maintenance and she took that on with grace and understanding. Would highly recommend Violet and will be using her again!

She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.

Kyle did a great job caring for Bear. He took Bear on walks, played with him outside and sent wonderful photos to me while I was gone. I will definitely ask Kyle back to watch Bear.

Jora was a great pet sitter. I had to make an urgent trip overnight across the country and booking was fast and easy. Then meet and greet. Then they watched the house and puppers while I was away. I am very grateful for this service. Thank you!

Lynne was wonderful. She responded quickly and scheduled time to come meet us, the pups, and get all the information about their needs prior to our trip. She stayed with our dogs for 5 days and was great with both of them, including our senior dog who has a number of medications and dietary needs, and shared daily updates and photos of the pups and was respectful of our home. We will definitely book her again, if she is willing!

Kathryn took great care of our boy, Punch! She came to meet us on short notice and right away we knew our fur baby would be in good hands with her. She arrived to the sitting on time, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and followed all instructions. We will definitely be booking Kathryn again for future sittings!

I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!
