1. Hadija B.
“Hadija was great! She put our dog at ease right away and was very thorough and communicative and checked in with us as needed. She also provided updates and photos as requested. She was very low maintenance and easy to work with! We would highly recommend!”
2. Kimberly M.
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with our pup, Buddy. We knew she was the dog sitter for us when she showed up and took meticulous notes in a little notepad. He loved her and she went out of her way to bring him to both of our wedding parties and made him wear his doggy tuxedo. We are so grateful to Kimberly - she made our wedding and pictures very special. Actually in the process of booking her for next weekend too.”
3. Lauren E.
“My cats are indoor-outdoor cats and can be shy with strangers, so they can be challenging for a new sitter, but Lauren did a fine job of keeping track of them and making sure they were safe and fed. She even managed to snatch a few photos to send to their worried mom! 🙂”
4. Svetlana E.
“We were in desperate need of someone we could trust to watch our anxious rescue pup, Piper, during our wedding weekend. Lana was extremely patient with both Piper, and my husband and I, even agreeing to meet us several times before the stay to get us all comfortable. She sent numerous pictures and updates, which calmed our nerves so we could fully enjoy our wedding. Thank you Lana for taking great care of Piper, we will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need someone to dog sit Piper in the future.”
5. Dulce L.
“We had Dulce come to our place during the day and stay with Bruno while I was away for a few days. She was so good with my boy he absolutely loved her! She walked him twice a day for a good while and played with him and gave him lots of cuddles! Highly recommend considering her to take care of your fur babies! She’ll be the first I reach out to in the future! Thankyou for everything!”
6. Elaine P.
“Elaine is great with pets! Dogs naturally love her and her family jokes that she is a pet whisperer. Growing up with animals, Elaine has a knack for making animals feel safe and loved.”
7. Mike W.
“Mike was so great! He came in clutch last minute, was communicative and I can tell our girls were well taken care of! We would definitely book with him again, and we highly recommend him!”
8. Daniela A.
“Tipper seems content and happy. Daniela was able to adjust her plans, as we ran into some problems while away, and was even willing to be here an extra night if we would have needed her. I am very thankful for her willingness to help given our difficult personal situation. We would be very happy to have her back to stay with Tipper at another time.”
9. Brittany T.
“Brittany was amazing with our girl! She send updates with pictures and videos! She even hand feed our girl because she is super picky with her food! Thank you so much Brittany!!!!”
10. maria v.
“Maria has been one of the best cat sitters I’ve had! She’s very kind and sweet—you can tell she really cares about your pet and is mindful of any details to ensure they are cared for 💖 she shared very clear communication, updates, & the cutest photos! 2x a day. She went above and beyond what was expected, keeping my home well-maintained and SO clean. I returned from my trip feeling relaxed and at ease, with my cat happy and as if I had never left! ☺️ I highly recommend Maria’s services to anyone in need of an incredible sitter ✨ I would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could!!”
11. Carla P.
“Unfortunately, I had to cancel in the last minute, but I appreciate that Carla was ready to come and take care of Tipper.”
12. Kim T.
“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”
13. Maeve R.
“I cannot recommend Maeve enough for her incredible care of Bean, our redbone coonhound! She has a calm, confident approach that puts Bean at ease. Redbone coonhounds can be a handful with their high energy and strong hunting instincts, but Maeve handled every walk, play session, and snuggle with enthusiasm and expertise. She even created a Bean Song to sing to Bean, since Bean sings her (and all guests) into the house whenever she arrives. After Maeve cares for Bean, she is happy, well-exercised, and content, and Maeve keeps us updated with thoughtful messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Maeve also takes excellent care of our house - bringing in the trash and packages, picking up after herself, and starting the dishwasher before she leaves on her last day. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further than Maeve! Bean can’t wait for their next adventure together!”
14. Coral H.
“Coral was dependable and supplied daily pictures and updates of our dog Dean. Dean bonded with her and we are grateful for her support. We would definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her.”
15. Emma K.
“Emma was fantastic! Our pups had a great time with her and we would highly recommend her. Will most definitely be using her in the future!”
16. Amanda C.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our 2 pups while we were away for a week. She sent me pictures during the week and always kept me updated. Amanda is very responsible and I would highly recommend her. I will be using her again for sure.”
17. Katherine & Molly M.
“Katie did a great job taking care of my cat and apartment while I was gone. She was also very cheerful and easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to another pet owner”
18. Vanessa L.
“She’s really cool and knows how to care for your pet”
19. Lindsay S.
“When I leave my dog with Lindsay I always know she’s in safe hands. My dog takes time to warm up to people but is always so excited when Lindsay visits! It makes going away a little easier when I know my pet is with someone we trust.”
20. Nicole M.
“Nicole would be a great caregiver! She is capable of handling any pet that you need help with. She does a great job at taking care of the pets in her won home and will treat your furry family memeber like it was her own.”
