1. Ashley O.

“I cannot say enough good things about Ashley. Truly. My husband and I are pretty anxious doggie parents, and finding a dog sitter for our new rescue pup has made us overall pretty nervous. But Ashley provided consistent updates, met with them beforehand, and made us feel so so so calm about our time away. She’s also just an extremely kind human. I would give her 100 stars out of 10 if I could!”


2. Damian H.

“Damian was great! He was very attentive and respectful of all of our pets’ needs. One of our dogs got sick while we were away and he took wonderful care of her and informed us of everything we needed to know. I felt bad he had to deal with a sick dog but he was very understanding, caring, and patient with her the entire time. I would definitely recommend Damian and we’d for sure have him return to our house as well!”


3. Jillian E.


“Jillian was great! Communicative, caring, responsive...she sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on all the goings on around the house. Would recommend her for anyone, and will definitely use her services again!”




4. Jacob & Natalie P.

“Meet and exceeded our expectations, Jacob has the experience we required and was very good qith our fur babies. Our boys loved him right away which is unusual and Jacob was very attentive to there needs. Will use Jacob again for sure!!”


5. Brittany T.

“Brittany is simply just wonderful!!! We appreciate the great care and patience she showed to our baby, Gracie. She also took perfect care of our home. We are looking forward to seeing her again for another stay in April. Thanks so much for all you did.”


6. Leigha A.


“Leigha is amazing! You can tell that she really is a dog person at heart. We got daily updates as well as pictures often! She even taught our youngest dog to shake! It was great peace of mind leaving them in the comfort of their own home as my older dog is a bit anxious and doesn’t do well in new places! We will be returning clients of Leigha!”


7. Cory G.

“I could rave about Cory all day! Cory was hands down the best pet/house sitter we have ever had. He watched my two dogs and one cat for our new years trip. He followed all instructions and requests to the letter, he always kept me up to date about everything, sent all the photos, let me know if he had to leave the dogs for more than a few hours, and just was an all around pleasant person to interact with. I did not need to follow up for and updates like i usually do and my chiweenie, for once, did not gain 2-3 pounds while i was away but actually seemed like he was in better shape when i came back. I would 100% recommend Cory as a petsitter to anyone who asks. It is clear that he absolutely loves all kinds of animals and will treat your pets like his own when you are away.”


8. chloe b.

“Chloe was amazing with my boy Malai. She house-sat him, walked him and cared for him very well. She is also punctual, arrived a few minutes before the booking time, which shows her great work ethic. I would love to have Chloe care for Malai again”


9. Kenneth D.

“Kenneth was very friendly and my dogs loved him! He was able to come last minute to house sit which was super helpful and a huge relief”


10. Anna S.


“Anna was fantastic for our first 2 night stay with our Bella. She was great at sending updates and pictures while we were away. Bonus that she even did the bedding and put back together on the last day. Will use again… and again…”


11. Maggie S.

“Maggie was amazing! First time with Maggie and we would no doubt go back to her again. Our little dog is a rescue and has some trust issues but Maggie was super patient, knows how to be around dogs and our little one warmed up to her quickly. Maggie also sent us pictures throughout our trip which I thought was very comforting. I would highly recommend Maggie and I thank her so much for taking such great care of our dog.”




12. Jennifer J.


“Jennifer was wonderful! My three dogs didn't even seem to miss me when I came home. I could tell they were taken care of and loved while I was away.”




13. Kristi D.


“Kristi communicated well and had a great intake process which I was impressed by. She left my house clean and well taken care of. Thank you, Kristi!”


14. Hailey N.

“Hailey is the BEST! She was incredibly flexible with us as we were traveling for medical reasons and didn't know the exact dates until last minute. She took great care of our fur baby and home, sent lots of pictures, and is very communicative. We felt like our dog got her very own staycation while we were away! 10/10 recommend!”


15. Taylor M.
About: I have grown up helping to take care of family pets, as well as watching them and other pets for friends and family members. I have done anywhere from week-long stays to just pop-in visits. I am currently working part-time while home for a couple months. I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s overnight or just daily walks! I always want to make sure the pet(s) is comfortable when I am entering their space. I know animals are typically pretty regimented (like us) so I want to make the transition of you being gone smooth.


16. Taylor S.
“Taylor cares for my fur babies like they are hers. So much so they do not want to leave when I arrive to take them back home. She has truly made them know they are home and loved. Even on short notice, she can be trusted and depended on to respond and open up her home to accommodate my babies. Book her!! Your babies will thank you!!”


17. Madyn S.
“I used madyn as a dog caregiver when my family and I went on vacation. We have two German Shorthaired Pointers, and they loved her. She took our dogs on daily walks, potty breaks, and consistent playtime alongside her feeding them. I would highly recommend her as she was very thoughtful and caring with our dogs.”


18. Monika D.

“Monika did a great job house sitting and watching my fur kids! Left the place spotless and my pets were well cared for! Recommend her for sure”


19. Tamar C.
“As everyone knows it's not easy to take care of animals. Let alone dogs. Its very demanding and requires an exponential amount of patience and care and I can confidently say that is Tamar. She had an instant loving connection with my cat who struggles with anxiety severely with new company. She continuously shares funny stories about her experiences with her own dog who is the best groomed, and behaved dog I have ever met. Its almost like her and her dog are a pairing set together haha! She has been trusted numerous amounts of times with others animals and you don't leave your fur baby with just anyone. She takes time out of her day to anything she can for any animal she meets whether it is hers or not, including offering some of her own pets accessories for other animals in someone else care to be well taken care of. She cares and she cares deeply. This is the right person to trust with anyone's animals. I believe that whole heartedly.”


20. Destiney B.
“Destiny sits my elderly cat. Feeds him, playtime, and just some company for 30 minutes. She does good work. Good kid! Thank you. Hi j”
