1. Meredith G.


“Our guys were in great hands, we haven’t let them with a new person in a long time and they seemed like they had a good weekend! Dexter can be particularly difficult so I’m happy he got along with Meredith and she sent some super cute pics of him being a good dog!”


2. Milo W.

“Milo was so great with our babies! He was really responsive and all of them were so happy when we got home. Our cat had surgery a week ago, and we felt very comfortable leaving him at home under the care of Milo.”


3. Alyssa F.

“Alyssa did a great job watching my senior dog. She sent regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciated. I also felt at ease since she has so much experience with pets and wants to be a veterinarian. I definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch my dog in the future.”


4. Ashley L.


“Once again, Ashley took amazing care of our fur baby! We love the pictures she shares and how she makes special treats for Marley. Highly recommend and would use again in a heartbeat!”


5. Emma F.

“Emma house sitted for us for a couple of days and took care of our pug Cookie. Emma was very communicative and thoughtful of Cookie’s needs and respectful of our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates to keep us informed while we were away. We definitely look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Emma!”


6. Sarah F.

“Sarah was the best!! Our dog was so comfortable with her and it was great to have the peace of mind of having a responsible sitter while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and videos every day and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy. We will definitely rebook with her for our future trips!”


7. Taylor W.

“Taylor was great with our cats! He made sure they were comfy and cared for. We have an especially nervous one, and Taylor made sure he was eating well.”


8. Chace D.

“Chace kept our very active and needy Huskies well cared for and engaged. He kept us updated with text messages and did a great job cleaning up (even though he was told not to worry about it) the mud that they consistently track in. The house and the dogs were well cared for and we already have plans to book him again.”


9. Brittney H.
“Brittney was such a delight! She was super communicative and made sure that she knew all about my dog’s different needs when dog sitting. She even checked in with me while me and my hubby while we were on vacation! Brittney told us that our dog Pal, was doing great and taking his medicine he needed to. Brittney took care of my dog, Pal and I will be using her again if I go away for a time or need some extra care for my dog!”


10. Ashley C.

“Ashley is a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter. She asked questions and kept in touch with me. I will definitely hire her again!!!”


11. Heidi L.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility with all sorts of breeds so I am experienced in dog language. Not only that but I’ve grown up with animals my whole life! I will always make time to make sure your pets stay on their schedule. I work a few days a week, my shifts are at most 6 hours long. If I will be coming to your home it will be like you never left, I can do whatever their schedule is. If in my home I will do everything in my power to make them feel at home.


12. Kylie L.

“Great job taking care of our dog!”


13. Andrea B.

“Andrea did a wonderful job with my dog as a house sitter. She was responsive to Zora's needs and gave me as much information as I wanted while I was away. I whole-heartedly recommend her as a sitter!”


14. Katie F.

“Katie is amazing! We have worked with her several times and she is a favorite sitter. She is really communicative and always takes great care of the house!”


15. Jacqueline W.

“Jacqueline did a great job with our new puppy”


16. Megan W.
About: My family has had a dog for the past 8 years and I have had my own shelter dog living with me full time for over a year now so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working on obtaining a new full time job in the area! Until then I am free pretty much anytime and I will update my schedule once things change but for now I would love to dog/cat sit, drop in or walk/run your pet! I currently have 3 dogs on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day!


17. Ayda P.

“Ayda did a great job of keeping me informed of how my pups were doing and sending pictures of them daily while I was out of town.”


18. Lillian E.

“Lillian did an amazing job! It was great knowing that my fur babies were loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be looking for her again on our next trip!”


19. Carli K.

“Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!”




20. Kate G.

“Kate did a great job taking care of my girls while we went on a weekend trip. I tend to worry when I leave my animals but the entire weekend I felt like they were in good hands. She gave me thorough updates and even checked to make sure we got home alright.”
