“Yuliia did an outstanding job taking care of our home and our beloved Wally, a 20 lb. Corgi mix. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated daily with thoughtful texts and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless—just as we left it—and Wally was in great health, clearly happy and well cared for. Yuliia’s attentiveness and genuine love for animals shone through in everything she did. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

14. Brandy B.
“Brandy was great with our 2 dogs. We were gone for 2 weeks and had 2 different sitters. I was worried about the transition due to only having 1 guest room & the changing of sheets but they worked it out 😁! Also had someone picking things up that kept getting pushed out; & our fridge went out 🤪. Brandy was not only great w/our pups but handled all the craziness so my worry went away 😊. Brandy communicated w/me throughout her time w/the dogs.”
