1. Amie F.

“Amie was fantastic! Our crew loves her and she went above and beyond for us during flight delays and uncertainty about when we’d get home. We highly recommend her!”


2. Sophia C.

“Sophia was amazing! She was exactly what we were looking for. Our pups are used to getting multiple long walks in per day and she definitely made sure they were nice and tired & happy! She stayed overnight at our house too and left it in great condition. She was also very prompt in her responses and sent a lot of updates/photos, which was much appreciated. We are already discussing future bookings with her!!”


3. Lillie R.

“Lillie is awesome with our sweet and sometimes willful pittie Flora. It's always reassuring to know our pup is in such good hands! And we come home to the house looking even better than we left it, so that's a nice bonus.”


4. Elizabeth J.

“Elizabeth is the best! Clear communication before, during, and after. Our little old rescue is kind of needy and is always happy when we return.”


5. Emma G.
“Emma treats our dogs like they're her own. She's very considerate of our wishes and goes the extra mile to make sure our dogs and cats are well cared for. Would recommend 10/10”

7. Bethanie P.

“Bethanie was just perfect and so caring with my overly active puppy. I was able to get out and escape the puppy blues knowing my puppy was well cared for.”


8. Morgan M.

“We had Morgan housesit with our 2 large dogs for nearly a week. Leading up to our vacation, Morgan was very communicative and was able to come over to meet our dogs and get a quick tour/overview of our place. While we were gone, I received several updates from her with pictures showing that our pups were happy and healthy. And when we returned home, I could tell it had been well-cared for as it was as spotless as we had left it! I can't tell you what a relief it was to be able to let our pups stay home with lots of love at home rather than having to drop them off at a kennel. I will be keeping Morgan on my list for future trips and will happily recommend her to family and friends who need her services!”


9. Sydney A.

“Sydney was amazing! She was available on short notice and treated our dog like her own when we went out of town for a long weekend! She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos. Highly recommend her for pet sitting!”


10. Jenny C.

“Jenny stayed with our dogs while we were on vacation. We had a meet and greet with her before we left and our dogs instantly were at ease and comfortable with her. She gave them love and affection while we were gone and they loved every minute of their time spent with her!!! She checked in often and sent lots of pics to let us know how our boys were doing. I highly recommend Jenny and would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!”


11. Jennifer B.

“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Bruce! She scheduled a meet and greet several days before her first time with Bruce. She arrived promptly and asked all the right questions to confirm to me that I—and Bruce!—were in good hands when she would be taking care of him. Jennifer is pleasant, communicative and very reliable! I definitely recommend her to you! And, I’ll be using her again! THANKS!”


12. Alicia B.


“Alicia is the best! We recently moved to the area and had a pre planned trip so I was nervous leaving Rori in our new house, but Alicia made me feel so calm with lots of updates of how Rori was doing. She really goes the extra mile to ensure your pet’s happiness. So great to know we have a wonderful new pet sitter in our new home! Thanks Alicia!”




13. Caitlin C.
“I always recommend Caitlin to my friends who need a pet-sitter or dog-walker! She is always so kind, loving, and gentle with my dogs. Caitlin has experience working with dogs of all breeds as well as cats. She uses positive reinforcement and best practices to make sure your furry family members feel cared for and safe. Caitlin follows instructions left for her by pet parents and can be trusted to be punctual and consistent when caring for pets. Caitlin is communicative with pet parents and is always happy to share text updates, photos of your pet, and videos of your pet with you if asked. I highly recommend Caitlin!”


14. Brigitte M.
“It was always stressful for me to find a reliable and respectful person to watch my dogs, till I met Brigitte! Brigitte is incredible!! She is amazing with my 3 large dogs, and loves them like they are her own!! My mind is always at ease while I’m out of town when I have Brigitte looking after my dogs! She provides an unmeasurable level of comfort and trust that is essential to my peace of mind when I am away from my dogs. Because of her, I can always fully enjoy my vacation or be present for my work trips without worry! From walks to puppy snuggles, she does it all! I cannot recommend Brigitte enough!!”

17. Keira E.
“Keira was a major help with my pup, Poe. My dog's normally slow to warm up with other people, but Poe took a liking to Keira immediately. Put a smile on my face to know my dog could be cared for by someone he actually feels comfortable around (a rare thing for my dog, as he's generally anxious about new people.). Definitely would recommend Keira for anyone with doggy care needs!”


18. Abby S.

“Abby was a last minute find and was wonderful! She was really great at communicating before and throughout her stay with our two dogs. She sent photos and we could tell our dogs were really happy with Abby upon our return home. We’d be happy to have Abby back to our house to watch our pups again.”


19. Reegan L.
“Reegan has always taken amazing care of my animals. Very loving and compassionate towards all animals I have seen her interact with. I highly recommend her to take care of your animals.”


20. Audrey S.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about two years and my mother, Elizabeth, is a certified veterinarian technician and I would shadow her at her work area as well as help her foster pets. Also, I’m majoring in health science to become a veterinarian. I’m working part time and I usually only work on Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday but if you let me know ahead of time, I can rearrange my schedule for your preferred times. I can bring certain things if need be. Such as toys, leashes, dog food, etc. All you need to do is let me know if there are certain things you need or certain things that are against your rules.
