1. Oli L.
“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”
2. Anna B.
“Anna stayed at our house for a week to dogsit our American Staffie. He was a very sad boy the first couple days we were gone and by the time we got back, he was so sad that she had left that he refused to get out of the car when it was time to go for his first walk since she left. She took him for two walks a day, even had to bathe him when he rolled on a dead fish, and sent pix and texts to keep us updated. Now she’s one of only two people we call when we travel. Our dog loves her and we know that we can trust her to love on him while we’re gone and take great care of him!”

“carly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups and my older kitty. my pups are high energy and high velcro so they need to walk about 6 miles a day and a lot of cuddle time, she was more than happy to take care of their needs. carly sent a lot of pictures which i really appreciate and was on time for all of the check-ins we discussed. i’m a helicopter mom so i always like more messages and updates but she did a great job, i look forward to booking with carly again!”

“This is the second time I've booked Ana to house/dog sit and could not be more pleased. She truly is an animal lover and took care of my two as if they were her own as well as maintaining my house. I HIGHLY recommend Ana, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Ana you're the best!”
17. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
18. Le'Yana O.
“Leyana would be a great sitter/walker for anyone's pet-kid! She has had animals all her life and enjoys them to the upmost. She's very reliable and hard working and most of all Le'Yana will love your pet-kid like her own!”
19. Harlee J.
“Harlee was absolutely wonderfully with my cat! My cat is shy around new people and Harlee was so patient with her! She is so sweet and i highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
20. Alexander S.
“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”
