1. Mackenzie W.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
2. Jessica D.
“Jessica is amazing! She communicates with us regularly while on the job and keeps us at ease that our dog is in excellent hands. And our dog loves her!”
3. Sarah Beth C.
“Sarah Beth took such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates that are detail oriented and straightforward. She is sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. We have boarded or had dog sitters before in the past, but they were by far the happiest we’ve ever seen them this time around. Our home was also in great condition upon return. Really, we would give her a 6/5 if we could. We will definitely be using her in the future and if you’re a natural worrier like me, you will be able to rest assured with Sarah Beth.”
4. Allison G.
“Allison stayed with Maisie for four days in my home and it was an excellent experience. She provided daily updates and photos. Maisie was a happy girl! And my condo was in perfect order when I returned. Probably better than the way I left it. I will definitely ask Allison to come and stay with Maisie again. I have complete confidence and trust in her.”
5. Yasmin M.
“Yasmin was amazing with my dog Susie! I had total peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of. Great communication and so kind! I’ll definitely use her again 😊”
6. Lori G.
“I was nervous about leaving my baby with anyone, but after our meet and greet I was very comfortable leaving Bella with Lori. Bella immediately connected with Lori. I will definitely have her stay with Bella again.”
7. Elliana C.
“Oh my gosh - our fur babies and feather babies were so happy ! So well taken care of ! We received photos all weekend and I so appreciate she kept in contact all weekend . She was so kind she even cleaned up all our pups hairiness 😂😂😂 everyone was fed , watered and were all relaxed and happy . She even contacted me when a storm came through and she had them all tucked in and snug as a rug . My life has changed with this little sweetie and I would love to have her play with our babies again !!!!”
8. Traci T.
“Traci was awesome! Jovi loved her and Jovi is picky. Traci sent lots of updates while she house sat and watched our dog for a week. She was all we could hope for and more. Came home to a clean house and wash done on everything Traci used. Top notch and we highly recommend.”
9. Sarah P.
“Sarah was excellent with our dogs! She provided multiple updates everyday and sent a lot of photos. Very responsible and good with our dogs keeping them comfortable and on their daily routine in the our home. We will definitely use her again.”
10. Lauren T.
“We have booked with Lauren a couple times now and she is just absolutely amazing! We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dog, definitely recommend her!”
11. Abby S.
“Abby was great for the few days that she watched our dogs. We had a semi newly adopted dog and she did well with the two doggos we had. They loved her!!”
12. Alisa C.
“Alisa was great. She was very helpful and responsive in all communication. She seemed to figure out our dog’s little quirks naturally. We loved the pictures and updates she sent. We came home to a happy dog and a well kept house.”
13. Sheri T.
“Sheri was absolutely awesome with Rocko. This was my first time leaving him since his adoption, so my anxiety was through the roof. She made it a wonderful experience and I was able to enjoy my trip.”
14. Jen C.
“Jen house sat for a long weekend and she was great. I was nervous to leave our dog Barry but she came over for a meet and greet and he loved her immediately. She was very responsive and sent cute pics everyday. Barry seemed well cared for and Jen left our house in great shape. We will definitely call Jen again!”
15. Olga B.
“Olga was there for my cat when she was just a couple of months old. She helped with her potty training, hectic kitten shenanigans, and socializing her. Additionally, she was a major help when my cat had kittens, one of which developed worm problems and required extra attention and love. Olga showed nothing but love, care, and support for my cat. Outside of that, I have seen Olga care for a pitbull dog who she considered family and made sure that the dog had the best care and met all of his needs.”
16. Nejra V.
“Nejra loves pets! She is very playful with Luka and gives him lots of love. She cares for him a lot and is very responsible.”
17. Tiffany S.
“Wonderful experience again. Dog was well cared for.”
18. Megan K.
“Megan was available on short notice and took great care of our dog, Ruby. Very communicative and left the house in great shape. We will be using her again!”
19. Sara H.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Sara H. as a caregiver for your furry baby. She provided exceptional care for my giant schnauzer, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Sara is not just a pet sitter; she genuinely loves and understands animals. Her own furry baby is a testament to her dedication—extremely well cared for and loved. You can rest assured that your pet will be in the best hands possible with Sara. She’s attentive, loving, and treats every animal as if they were her own. Your furry companion will be safe, happy, and well-cared for under Sara's watch.”
20. Madison S.
“Madison has been available when we have needed her to watch our puppy Finn. Finn needs a slow feeding bowl due to eating to fast and she has always been able to use that without question. She sends picture and video updates, without them being requested. I would recommend Madison to help care for your pet.”
