1. Susan R.


“Susan completed two consecutive drop-in visits over the weekend for our young kitty. She sent updates and pics each time and I was never concerned about our cat’s well being. She looked happy and healthy upon our return :). Do not hesitate to reach out to Susan.”


2. Jennah M.

“Amazing with the pups. We have one who is a little finicky and she was able to get him to corporate. She took her time with him and I was so appreciative of her efforts! Send lots of photos and cares for the dogs like her own!”


3. Jamie E.

“Thanks for taking such good care of our Allie! She was in such good spirits when we came home! Jamie did an excellent job of checking in with pictures and updates. Our black lab Allie was happy spending time with Jamie during her stop-ins. She even brought our mail and packages in which was greatly appreciated.”


4. Kilie A.

“This was our second time booking Kilie for our two finicky cats. She was totally on top of things, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Having someone we can trust, and who’s so easy to work with, makes us feel much more comfortable traveling away from home, even just for a day or two. Thanks again, Kilie! We’ll be booking again soon!”




5. Georgianne C.

“Georgianne was absolutely phenomenal! She communicated very well and kept us in the loop with every visit she made! Our dog loved her and we will absolutely be using her again! Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a kind person who’s very good with your fur babies!”


6. Valeria P.

“Val is absolutely wonderful! She's trustworthy, prompt, and thoughtful. Most importantly, she took fabulous care of my shy and nervous kitty when I was out of town. Val sent me the cutest photos during each visit, and my cat loved Val right away--always a good sign! I'll definitely be asking her to catsit the next time I need help.”


7. Adriana B.

“As always, Adrianna is always a great help and good friend to our pets. Her messages and photos are always comforting when we can’t be home with the critters.”




8. Ali P.
“Ali is an amazing walker and sitter. She always arrives with a smile and takes the BEST care of my dog Bella. She goes above and beyond when it comes to her care, often taking extended walks or running her to vet appointments. I trust her completely when it comes to my home as well. She has stayed repeatedly, without issue, and I would welcome her back anytime. She is clean, always in communication with me while I'm gone, and most importantly, Bella is happy and healthy when I return! Your pup and your home would be in excellent hands with Ali.”


9. Hayley R.

“Hayley did an excellent job with our two pets. She did well to ask the right questions to ensure she had everything covered. She also gave regular updates for the drop ins and maintained great communication through the entire process.”


10. Rachel L.

“Rachel was very kind and attentive to my dog & I felt very comfortable having her check-in on him from the first day they met. She was always been very prompt and reliable.”

“August did a wonderful job caring for our girls again! They got lots of love while we were gone, which makes it easier to travel knowing they are in good hands.”


12. Kaleigh J.

“Kal took excellent care of our cat Oliver while we were out of town. They were extremely prompt with visits and communications, sent us lots of pictures and updates, and even accommodated an extra visit when our flight home was cancelled. They went above and beyond in caring for Oliver, and he was completely comfortable with them. We highly recommend Kal and will be requesting their cat sitting help again!”


13. Nicholas M.


“Nicholas went above and beyond in taking care of my cat! He sent me friendly messages every day along with the photos and it was clear he really cared.”


14. Jimmy S.
“My dog, Bailey loves it when Jimmy Shah comes to feed and walk her! Bailey can be a challenge for non-family members because she is a blind older dog (15 years old) but Jimmy handles her with care and respect.”


15. Hannah M.


“Hannah was excellent! From the first meet and greet through the two drop-ins. I appreciated her prompt communication and follow-up. We will be looking to book her in the future!”


16. Kendra P.

17. Rachel Z.
“If you're looking for someone to love and take care of your dog the way you do look no further. Rachel is a bright sweet animal lover. She will not only be there when you need her to, but she will also take care of your friend and spoil them the way that they deserve! Give her a shot you won't be disappointed!”


18. Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”


19. Darian H.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Darian H as a dog sitter. She has watched over my dog Chandler on several occasions when I’ve gone on vacation, and each time, I’ve felt completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Darian has an innate ability to connect with animals—her patience, warmth, and genuine affection for Chandler shine through every time. She doesn’t just look after him; she engages with him, making sure he gets the right balance of playtime, walks, and rest. What stands out the most is how much attention Darian pays to Chandler’s individual needs. She remembers the little things—like how Chandler likes his walks in the morning or his favorite toys—and she adjusts her schedule to make sure he feels comfortable and loved. I’ve always come home to a happy, relaxed dog, and it’s clear that Chandler enjoys her company as much as I do. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet with the same level of care and affection you would, and I trust Darian completely to look after Chandler as if he were her own. I can’t recommend her enough!”


20. Hannah M.

“Hannah was great! Communicated with me well. The dogs seemed very happy in the photos she sent and when I got home from work. Will definitely rebook”
