This is my second time asking Melina to watch my babies while I was away for longer than I like. Melina is incredible! She’s a great communicator, all my fur babies absolutely adore her…she was even able to hang out with my slightly-less-than-feral kitty! I’m so happy that she’s decided to spend her days loving on critters, she’s perfect for the job! My pup started taking pills twice daily, since the last time that she watched him, and she was up for the job. He took them like a champ from her. I would highly recommend Melina for all your fur baby needs! She’s wonderful! Thank you!!!!

How to review dog sitting if you couldn't witness it firsthand? Actually, this one isn't hard. Kimberly provided both frequent photos and a written updates about our pup, which went a long way towards reassuring us during our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. And... when we came home, we encountered a pup who was happy, relaxed and thoroughly *not* traumatized. In fact, she was even more okay than when we'd leave her alone for a few hours while we were out. This spoke volumes. Thank you, Kimberly, for doing an excellent job of taking care of our pup!

Charlii is an awesome pet sitter! She has taken care of my two pups and one kitty many times now, and I can leave with confidence that they will be cared for with lots of love. She takes the dogs on nice long walks, reliably gives medication to my aging kitty, and looks after my home with care and consideration. All of the pets and I just LOVE her!

Hello everyone, I’m a really good friend of Kimberley. Every time we would hang out and willl be driving around every time she sees a dog in the streets she pauses and just admire the pets so much. Even when we hang out and walk around she would always ask if she can pet someone’s dog and every time she shows them love Kimberly voice will change into a cute little voice. Kimberly is a amazing with pets and she’s a amazing person.

Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!

Ruby is an excellent pet sitter who has taken care of my dog, Belle many times. Belle is always excited to see Ruby, which I think is great as Belle is very old and hardly gets excited for anything anymore!

Anais took excellent care of Rumple, made sure she had all the particulars and asked thoughtful questions to be prepared to care for our guy. She even dealt with an embarrassing lock out situation that was completely my fault with patience and grace. I eagerly recommend her services and will definitely request her again next time Rumple needs company. Your pet is in great hands with Anais.

I can’t recommend Janesta highly enough as a dog sitter! My yorkie, Scotty, is a low-key pup (post zoomies) who absolutely adores humans and lives for cuddles, and attention. Janesta was the perfect match for him, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. From the moment they met Scotty, it was clear they understood his mellow personality and need for affection. Scotty warmed up to them immediately, after being seduced by excellent behind the ear rubs. Janesta made sure he got all the snuggles and love he could possibly want, while also keeping him comfortable and content during the day. What really stood out was the way Janesta connected with Scotty. He drinks up their head and nose kisses and being babied by them. They kept me updated with sweet photos of him lounging around and gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. If you’re looking for a sitter who will shower your pup with love and treat them like family, Janesta is the one to call. Scotty and I are so lucky to have found them!

Honestly could not have found a better pet sitter! She really took care of our little crew like they were her own. We came back to stress free, happy pets, which for our needy little lovea isn’t always the norm. Joanna was beyond considerate and sent lots of pictures which showed just how well cared for they all were. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Christine stayed at our house and watched our senior dog for 10 days. She handled all of his quirks in stride, gave him his medication each morning, and checked in with us regularly. Our dog is 15 years old and does not like change. Christine was able to adapt to how he was doing to keep him comfortable and happy. It was so reassuring to have her taking care of our old guy, so we could enjoy our vacation.

Fulinag was amazing with our senior Golden Retriever, Daisy! He has arthritis and needs extra attention, but he made him feel right at home. He sent us daily updates with photos and made sure he took all his medications on schedule. The enclosed yard was perfect for his gentle exercise needs. We're so grateful to have found such a caring and professional sitter.

Lauren was excellent! She took great care of our two dogs for 4 days and shared plenty of updates with us the whole time, which we really appreciated. She spent a lot of quality time with them just hanging out, and gave our high energy pup lots of ball time to tire her out. We definitely recommend her!

Micah loves all animals so much! She especially loves dogs. Her dog Sugar is spoiled with attention and care. Sugar is a HIGH energy Wheaten Terrier and Micah has such patience with her. Micah also helped take care of my elderly mother’s dog. Her name was Babe and she was 15yrs-old with hip and vision issues. Micah would babysit her often until Babe passed on this year. I would trust Micah with any animal!

I’ve known Yeva for more than a decade. She is very kind to animals and she’s an awesome dog mom. She adopted her dog Willow after her previous parents surrendered her to the shelter. Willow had behavioral issues and she would bark on people and other dogs. Yeva insisted on keeping her and she devoted herself to training her and finishing her socialization. She had a lot of progress and is much more well behaved and friendly know thanks to the work Yeva put into her. If I were a dog person, I’d trust my dog to Yeva without a doubt.
