“We loved working with Bryan! Bryan is responsive, fun, caring, and knowledgeable. He sent photos and videos twice per day and kept us up to date on our pup's activities.

4. Ileandra W.
“Ileandra was so great during our meet and great, interacting with Chico and asking questions about his personality, routine, and exercise. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel he was in great hands. While I was away she did send updates and pictures and Chico seemed to have a great time getting to stay home and hang with her. Thank you!”

13. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”
14. Daniel C.
“Daniel was awesome! Very kind and kept us up to date on how things were going at home the whole time we were away! I would absolutely recommend him and would book him again in a heartbeat to take care of our pup!”
15. Liesel B.
“Liesel was awesome with Hermie. I'd recommend and trust her 100% to watch and house sit your pet. Liesel provided day-to-day updates and was able to manage his medical condition when it popped up. I could tell from the updates that Hermie was comfortable in her care. I also came back to a clean home so I appreciated that, Liesel! Thanks again!”
16. Andrew C. T.
“Andrew did an excellent job house sitting our dog and cat. It was the first time my husband and I had hired a house sitter and we very much appreciated the work and time he put into putting us at ease. We found him to be trustworthy, honest, very responsive, and kind. I was also grateful to see that he understands both cat and dog behavior (an uncommon characteristic, I've found!) and let our fur babies get used to him in their own time. I hope to book with him again in the future!”
17. Grace K.
“Grace was awesome! I would give her 10 stars if I could. She was great with both my dog and very old cat who was also sick during the stay. She helped with his meds and was very attentive. Winston loved hanging out with her and was very content when I got home.”
18. Le'Yana O.
“Le'Yana has been a lovely and reliable dog sitter for our family. She is responsible and really loves our dog. Our 2 year old lab is always excited to see her!”
19. Lisa K.
“I had an unexpected emergency trip pop up. My dog, Gracie is elderly & is on several medications & needs a little bit of extra care & patience. Lisa is very kind & compassionate & her love of animals is obvious. Gracie loves her & whenever I need help, I’ll call Lisa.”
