2. Georgette K.
“Georgette was fabulous! It was our first time leaving our 1.5-year-old Cavalier with someone and she was so patient with our questions/texts. We got updates the entire week we were away and came home to a happy, well cared for dog. Her great reviews/5 star ratings are the real thing!”

5. Joseph V.
“Joseph is fantastic. 11/10 went above and beyond to make sure our pup and the house was very well taken care of. He really understands the dogs and puts our mind at ease while we're gone.”
6. Kristin M.
“We left our separation anxious dog Wilma alone with a “stranger” for the first time and she did so well with Kristin after just one meet and greet! Kristin was on time, great with updates, and was comfortable giving my cat blood pressure meds which can be intimidating! We’re so happy we found Kristin for our wedding weekend.”

“Adam took such great care of our boys so we could enjoy our trip out of town! We are thankful for his communication, professionalism, and kindness towards our dogs and house! We highly recommend Adam!”
8. Roland S.
“Roland is great on every level. My dog, who is normally shy with new people, loved him upon meeting. He took great care of our dog and cat. Communication was good while we were away. Appreciated the pics and updates. Would book him again.”
9. Ismy S.
“This was my second booking with Ismy and Corey, and once again, they were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of my cat, Fox Fox, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It’s clear that they truly care about Fox Fox’s well-being, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They even left the place spotless and made sure Fox Fox was comfortable before they left. I highly recommend Ismy and Corey to anyone in need of reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitters. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future! Fox Fox will miss them until next time!”
10. Miranda B.
“Andi was fantastic! -- excellent & easy communication in advance and thru the stay. My dog and house were well cared for. Fun photos. My dog can have a lot of energy outside and I felt like he was in great confident caring hands. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
11. Sofia G.
“Sofia is a fantastic pet sitter! We felt super comfortable with her in our home and caring for our 2 dogs. She stayed in contact with us throughout our trip and the pups were well cared for! Will book again!”
12. Kaitlan P.
“Kaitlan was amazing!! She went above and beyond for our kitties. She took the time to understand their routine and little quirks, and even got our shy/spicy guy to warm up to her! She was super communicative and responsive throughout, and we felt so at ease leaving our boys and home in her care. We can’t wait to hopefully have her again soon!”
13. Nicole A.
“Nicole is wonderful! It is obvious how much she loves animals. Very nice and very professional. One of our dogs is a very traumatized rescue and he let her pet him, put on His leash and take him out in the yard. FYI-our dogs are 100+ Alaskan malamutes. I will definitely have Nicole come and pet sit again. Highly recommend!”
14. Hailey T.
“Hailey took great care of our sweet Andy. He was happy as a clam when we returned home from our trip and we really appreciated the peace of mind we had leaving him in Hailey's care. She is an excellent houseguest as well and left our home perfectly tidy. Thank you Hailey!!!”
15. Annie B.
“Our kitty was so well taken care of by Annie! We were able to fully enjoy our short trip knowing that she was keeping our cat fed and happy. Annie’s photos of our kitty were adorable!”
16. Melanie L.
“Melanie was wonderful! Great communication, our house was exactly as we left it and we had a happy happy pup! Would absolutely have her watch our pup again!”
17. Emma T.
“Emma was an indescribably amazing sitter! My pup is so hesitant to meet new people and usually doesn’t build trust quickly but warmed up to Emma almost immediately. Emma interacted so well with my guy Schmidt and was so communicative, sending pictures during the whole stay and updating me which brought me so much peace of mind whilst I was out of town. I felt nothing but ease with Emma watching my dog. I would wholeheartedly recommend you choose Emma to watch over your pet — you won’t regret it! Thank you so very much Emma!!”
18. Sonia R.
“Sonia did a great job with Finn! She kept in close contact and provided daily updates on how he was doing. She takes great care and and consideration to her approach and is clearly knowledgeable in her pet care. I will definitely book again!”
19. Shante D.
“Shante was great! She stayed with our beloved (and spoiled) pooch, and sent us very lovely photos. She was responsive and proactive to our requests. We felt that our Chickadee was in very safe and loving hands.”
20. Elizabeth J.
“Liz did a great job housesitting and taking care of our two cats while we were away! She sent lots of photo updates, and they warmed up to her right away.”
