“Cassie was so wonderful to work with! She was excellent with our dog who is extremely wary of strangers- he takes a long time to warm up and she was totally patient and won him over which is no easy task! She sent us photos and updates everyday. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“Shennan was very responsive and attentive! She loved my two doggies and kept them company. Shennan was very respectful of my space and kept things tidy. Watson and Patty loved her!”

“We have two dogs, and they both have some quirks (including one dog that barks for awhile before warming up to a new person), but Ian handled them with a lot of patience and care. He also kept us updated with some pics. I would definitely recommend - I felt at ease on vacation knowing they were in good hands.”

“I felt so relaxed with Rebecca watching my kitten and bunny! My pets were clearly comfortable with her and she sent lots of pictures. I’d highly recommend her, she’s a very communicative sitter who clearly cares about your animals.”

“Jeannie is wonderful! She provided such great care for my fur babies while I was going through a difficult time and put me at ease while I was nervous of leaving my pups. She provided such great updates with pictures and videos reassuring me they were getting plenty of love and attention. Jeannie also went the extra mile to go to the store and get my dogs pumpkin and rice when they had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Jeannie and will continue to book with her because I am at ease when having to travel without my fur babies. Thank you Jeannie for your excellent care and communication”

“Zhanna was wonderful—communicative, thoughtful, and patient. Even dealt with my alarm going off during her visit with grace. My dog loved her and had a fantastic time—will definitely be rebooking for the future!”

“Carly was great. She stayed in our home for week and took care of our pup. She kept us updated throughout the booking. Our pup was happy and well taken care of when we returned. We would recommend Carly and will be booking with her again!”

“Michaela was great! The dogs were well cared for and the house was in great condition! One of our dogs is very high energy and strong, and we trusted Michaela to handle her. We will happily ask her to care for our pups again!”
“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”

“Elyse did a great job caring for our very young, 1-year old lab. It was the first time the pup was left alone and she was a nervous wreck. Elyse walked her, played with her, and calmed her with loving care. Can’t thank Elyse enough !”

“Alexis is your one-stop-shop for pet needs. Our dog Nala needed a sitter relatively last minute and Alexis was there for us. She is attentive, engaged, and shows the utmost care and respect. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Alexis provides the gold standard of care and you and your furry friend can rest assured your experience will be nothing but amazing”

“Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!”

“Sarah was wonderful! She was communicative, offered to do a pre-sit visit to meet my dog and tour the home. I received photos, daily updates, and I never once felt worried while I was away. If you’re looking for a professional, tidy, pet-loving sitter, she’s IT! We hope to have her back soon.”


“Veronica and her daughter are both amazing- so responsive and I feel comfortable with them taking care of both my beloved dogs. I have already texted friends highly recommending!!”

“Molly is a AMAZING. Stranded at the airport due to the weather and flight cancellations she was able to stay extra days. So helpful and flexible. Lots of great pictures/updates of the dogs relaxing in their environment at home. We have been booking with Molly since 2020 and absolutely recommend her. She is trustworthy and takes exceptional care of our pets and home.”
“Cat did a beautiful job caring for my pets. My cat and dog both seemed happy and well taken care of when I returned home. Cat was communicative while I was traveling. I’d absolutely book her again.”

“AMAZING sitter! We had Jenny watch our pets for a week while we were out on vacation. I left care instructions and she followed them to the teeth! One of our dogs got sick and Jenny took the steps to make sure both her and the house were taken care of. Would hire her again for sure!”
“Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!”

Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Maya and our two cats while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. Molly took Maya on several long walks and gave all of our pets plenty of attention, love, and care. It was clear from the photos and updates that our pets absolutely adored her, and when we returned home they were relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Andra and Russ took great care of our house and of our two dogs while we were out of the country for a week. They were very communicative and provided updates on how the girls were doing during our trip. We highly recommend them and will use them again for dog sitting.

Jessica was so helpful in getting the care my pup needed while we were away! She took her to the vet and ER on the first day of care and stayed with her on our behalf. ( she started showing symptoms of illness the night before her stay.) Jessica also made sure to send lots of pictures of our other pups and keep us informed on how things were going. The girls were happy to have her stay with them! We are so grateful for Jessica’s attentiveness to our girls!
