“Andrea is fantastic! She watched out two dogs and our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She sent many photos and was very communicative, which we really appreciated, and she was so sweet with the dogs. I can tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would love to have Andrea back the next time we travel!”
“Diane is always the best with our senior, snuggly dog! She is our first sitter we contact when we are headed out of town. Diane consistently communicates, makes sure our dog is well cared for, and has gotten to know her silly personality. We highly recommend Diane!”
“Allison - amazing as always - Emma is a challenge, but always seems so chill with Allison - so wonderful knowing we can trust with our little pandemic diva - Thanks, Allison!”
“Sarah is super sweet patient communicative and professional. my Zoey has some issues adjusting to someone new in the house and sarah was very patient with her and communicative with me. I will book her again and I’m sure Zoey will be grateful.”
“Perniall was great with the dogs. Patient with our one dog who is a bit barky to new people in the home and we successfully had no accidents from our puppy for the day”
“Callie was professional and very reliable with updates and communication. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Odin was happy and comfortable with Callie. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be booking again.”
“Jillian watched our two dachshunds for a weekend and she was fantastic - friendly and easy to communicate with, very punctual. We are looking forward to having her watch them again!”
“Lindsay was very accommodating. She came to visit ahead of time to get a lay of the land which I very much appreciated. She took great care of Mitzie who was fed on time, walked and pop-breaker on time. Everything was great. I’d hire Lindsay again for sure!”
“Renee is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. She takes the time to learn your pet, and applies her experience to help them thrive while you’re away. She was consistent with communication at every step as well, and incredibly trustworthy. My pup warmed up to her right away!”
“Maiya was so great and took really good care of Lucy while we were away for the day! She gave us regular updates and helped Lucy as she is working through some anxious behaviors since Lucy can struggle with some separation anxiety. She made us feel so comfortable and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Where do I even begin? Kat was fantastic from our very first phone call where we talked for 45 minutes so that I could get to know her and she could hear about my two senior pups and all their quirks. We haven’t left our dogs with anyone in years because they have so many needs that it’s hard to leave. Their many, many medicines and beginnings of incontinence were no issue for Kat. I knew they were going to be in great hands. Kat gave our dogs so much attention and care— they were spoiled while she was here with bones, walks, baths, and cuddles. They were also rarely, if ever, left alone while they were in her care. She’s very attentive. Not only that— but she CLEANS. I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I was to come home to a home that was not only clean, but even cleaner than how we left it. With two older dogs and a toddler, it’s hard for me to find time to clean everything to the level I want. Kat deep cleaned things in my bathroom that have been on my to-do list for months (all unprompted)! Despite my telling her not to worry about cleaning the poop in the backyard (because we had gotten behind and hadn’t cleaned any of it during the winter), she cleaned all of it and our yard looked pristine. She did laundry in addition to everything that got dirtied by my dogs’ accidents. She’s easy to work with and will take amazing care of your pets and home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Cheryl was terrific! She stayed at our house and she and Maggie got along great while we were far away for 12 days. She sent regular pictures and updates, so it was great to have a worry-free vacation. All was well at our house when we returned. We would have Cheryl come again.”
“Destiny is a gem! She is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She took great care of Eevee as well as my home. After a tiring work trip, I came back to a pristine home and a happy pup. It was reassuring to know Eevee was under great care since I don’t often leave her. I would highly recommend Destiny to anyone.”
“Ashley is amazing! Rigby (my dog) even told me so! She was super communicate about what they were up to. He had a blast, hanging out and cuddling. It was a great time for Rigby and I hope it was a great time for Ashley. I would highly recommend her.”
“Elaine was wonderful and very communicative. She was very patient with my shy little boy. I was able to focus on work knowing he was in good hands and getting regular updates. She was very accommodating with my delayed flight as well. Little Bruce would love to hang with her again!”
“Sariyah is my most trusted walker. She always gives me timely updates and does careful little things like leave the TV on the squirrel channel for my dog. She even added extra cuddles and comfort during a storm. I can always count on her to give quality care to my dog.”
“WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALEISHA!! Our dogs loved her the minute she came to meet them. She is Very communicative, thoughtful, friendly and sweet.
