1. Christine & Felipe C.

“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”

“Laura was very easy to work with, prompt, and friendly with our puppy!! She was very patient with him & he loved her presence!”

4. J T.
“J took great care of our pup for nearly a week, making sure she got plenty of walks and outdoors time through rain and shine, hot and cold. They kept us updated throughout each day with photos and videos too, so we always knew Pandora was safe and happy.”

6. Matt D.

“Matt was amazing and so good to my dogs! Great at communication and sent me lots of updates. Highly recommend Matt and I will definitely be using him in the future.”




7. Elizabeth W.


“Absolutely AMAZING. I rarely trust anyone, ever. I never leave my fur babies with anyone I do not know and I feel like I have known Elizabeth my whole life. She is just THAT amazing!! She provided us with updates and lots of pictures which we sincerely appreciate since we have never left our fur babies for the holidays! 13 out of 10 would recommend and we cannot wait to use her again very soon! I mean, come on, she is the best of the best and if this review doesn’t get you wanting Elizabeth to watch your fur babies then what’s wrong with you!? We absolutely love her and so do Brady and Apollo! ???”


8. LaShanda H.

“Shanda is the best! Attention to detail, communication, cleanliness, all of it was great. She filled in on very late notice but came prepared and took care of everything. The boys loved her and she handled everything they threw at her. And she took great care of the house. We will definitely have her back next time we need a sitter.”


9. Sidney D.

“Sidney was responsible & took excellent care of our home and pups! She sent updates and took care of all tasks- we came home to a clean home & happy dogs”


10. Sierra N.

“Sierra was great with my two cats Sandy and Jon Jon! She sent pictures daily and left our apartment clean. I was a little worried because Jon Jon can be scared of new people but he warmed up very quickly. Sierra is great!”


11. Alicia A.

“Ali was great! She kept me informed of anything out of the norm. It is so nice to finally find someone I can actually trust with my dog/home. I look forward to using her in the future. Thanks Ali!!!”


12. Taylor R.

“Taylor did an excellent job house sitting during the holidays! We got lots of videos which were very much appreciated. Will love to hire her again.”


13. Misha Z.

“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”


14. Luna G.

“Luna was absolutely wonderful! have two older animals (dog and cat) both whom have very detailed instructions for their routine throughout the day and Luna did not miss a beat. She house sat for me for several days and left my house in better condition than what I left it. Will definitely use her services again and can’t recommend her enough”


15. Tiffany L.

“Tiffany is fantastic! Our girls (Lennon + Mink) loved their time with her. This was our first experience leaving them with someone they didn’t already know and Tiffany was the perfect sitter. Not only was she already communicative from the get go, but our sweet pup got gnarly hot spots the day before we left for a long weekend and we were heartbroken to leave her with an open wound and a stranger to tend to her. Tiffany was wonderful having to adapt last minute and make applying topical ointment a part of her routine with Lennon while we were gone. She monitored Lennon closely and updated us regularly. Not to mention our cat absolutely loves her. Tiffany will be our go to sitter from now on!”


16. Christina L.
“Christina is the best and my beloved pup, Charlie, loves her!!! I am very cautious with who I let take care of Charlie since he's a senior with a heart condition, and simply because he's my favorite, but I trust Christina wholeheartedly! Charlie loves her and runs to her to ask for his cuddles and butt scratches! Christina is very aware of how important our pets are to us and is very good at making sure that they are well taken care of and LOVED!”


17. Katelynn S.

“Katelynn is the best!! Kind, communicative, and so easy to work with! I felt so at ease having her look out for my dog. Will definitely be booking with her again!”




18. Shanna M.


“Shanna was fabulous with our pets and home. There were daily updates with pictures. Everyone seemed so happy and comfortable right away. Will rebook!”


19. Taylor H.

“Taylor is so great with our dog Wilbur. She is an excellent communicator and follows directions to a tee. Our house was in excellent shape when we got home!”


20. Daniel C.

“Daniel took exceptional care of our two dogs. He was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. I felt at ease from the moment we dropped them off, and Daniel continued to make me feel so throughout their stay. I highly, highly recommend him!”
