1. Gabriella L.
“Gabriella did a wonderful job with our Aussiedoodle, Scout. We felt very comfortable with her in our home. She sent updates and pictures daily. I appreciated her keeping me updated on how things were going. When she came back to our house a few days later, to drop off something, Scout was excited and happy to see her. I would highly recommend Gabriella to anyone needing pet care.”
2. Linda K.
“Linda is the best. She was great with Biggie. She kept up his routine and allowed all of us to rest easy. We received daily updates and pictures and he was mostly snoozing - so we know he was resting easy.”
3. Stacey E.
“Stacey was excellent. Stepped in last minute on a Holiday weekend to take care of our boys. Even took the time a day before we left to come over and meet them, go over routines etc. Also, our boy Hugo got sick at the end of the visit and she cleaned up after him, stayed in touch with us until I arrived home to take over care. Thank you again Stacey! We definitely recommend you and will be happy to book you again!”
4. Kayla H.
“Kayla was so good with our dog, puppy and cat! They loved her and she was so great about keeping us updated with how they were doing. Thanks Kayla!!”
5. Joshua R.
“Both our dogs really enjoyed Joshua! He stayed at our home for several nights and sent us daily photo updates. I would recommend Joshua to anyone - We definitely will be booking with him in the near future!”
6. Erin S.
“Erin took amazing care of my babies while gone. She took pics and sent them and was always very very responsive.”
7. Ashlyn Z.
“Ashlyn was great, she is very responsive and sent us daily pictures and updates. Our puppies were happy and very comfortable with her. We’ll def book with her again.”
8. Ellis L.
“Ellis was great! We left her with our two small dogs for five days (ish) and she sent us plenty of pictures and was in communication with us the whole time so we didn’t worry. We came back to a clean house and happy pups. Will absolutely hire again!”
9. Ellie V.
“Ellie did such a good job taking care of our 2 Cavaliers (& our house!) while we were out of town! She was so responsive, and sent lots of pictures and fun comments that assured me they were all doing just fine together! This was her first time to stay with them, and I already have her booked again!”
10. Caitlin M.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Caitlin! My pup hurt her leg before our trip and Caitlin was super flexible and helpful. She kept me updated each day! We feel lucky to have found Caitlin and will definitely be asking her to watch Luna again!!”
11. Kayla O.
“Kayla did an outstanding job watching our fur baby Oliver! She made sure to update us with daily photos. She took care of our cat like her own. Highly recommend!”
12. Lisa D.
“Lisa watched our house and pets for a 5-day period while we were on vacation. She was exceptionally professional. She took Brooklyn out for a walk multiple times a day and even went to the dog park on the apartment property every day. Each time Lisa took our pup out, we received fantastic photo updates of Brooklyn playing and enjoying her walk. We knew that our pup was well taken care of and had her exercise and social needs met every day. We also received updates and photos of our cat, who is a bit more timid. When we returned, the house was in perfect condition. Lisa cleaned up after herself and went above and beyond by washing the food dishes and leaving the laundry (bedsheets) in the laundry area. Lisa is a fantastic sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone. The level of care and communication we received from Lisa exceeded any other sitter I have used. She truly went the extra mile to ensure our pets were happy, and our home was well taken care of. We felt completely at ease knowing that Lisa was in charge. We will definitely reach out to her for future house sitting needs. Thank you, Lisa, for your exceptional care and professionalism!”
13. Kristy F.
“Kristy Petsat my 2 month old puppy for 9 hours while I was at work. She was easy to get a hold of all throughout the day and took wonderful care of Pooka, cleaning up a few accidents, taking her on potty breaks, and staying around the house so she didn't have to be in her kennel for long periods. She even said Pooks played with her and got tired out, which is amazing because she's still quite skittish around people. I couldn't be happier with the care and highly recommend Kristy.”
14. Lori B.
“Thanks to Lori, we were able to enjoy a much-needed 10-day vacation knowing that our precious dog and our house were in her capable and caring hands. She came over twice before the trip to meet our dog and review all instructions. She sent photos of our pup multiple times each day! We highly recommend Lori!”
15. Haley K.
“Super communication and care of the pups! House was calm and clean when we returned. We were able to travel with an eased mind while she was there.”
16. Jonathan C.
“Jonathan was phenomenal! I use sitters a lot for work and don’t say that lightly. Ellie was nervous upon meeting since I didn’t introduce her (another sitter cancelled last minute). He waited patiently for her to adjust and she loved him! He also stayed later with her when my flight was delayed. I’m so grateful he was available. He sent videos and photos so I knew she was well cared for. I’d recommend him for your next stay and would use him again!”
17. Jennifer A.
“Jennifer was great. She really understood the needs of my pups and how they need to go out a lot. Everything was in order when we returned and we will definitely be repeat customers!”
18. Amina A.
“Amina was wonderful; great with communication, took incredible care of my pup and was very respectful of my home. I would HIGHLY recommend her!”
19. Hailey S.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am definitely a “dog person”! I love to keep them active and entertained by taking them out and about! I am very active and like to go on walks and runs with dogs, I am also comfortable and familiar with all types and sizes of dogs! I have a dog of my own & grew up with multiple dogs in my home so I also am familiar with handling and caring for multiple dogs at once. I am a recent graduate from KU and have a full time WFH job. As for availability, I am available during the day at certain times and am also available at night and on weekends. Due to my work from home status I’m very flexible! I can drop in in the mornings, at lunch and evenings! I also could even work remotely from your home if needed! I am able to do whatever is needed for your dog. I am familiar working with dogs who have medical needs, high energy, anxiety, etc. I would love to find a care plan that works best for your dog!
20. Soleil S.
“I highly recommend Soleil as a pet sitter based on personal experience. She gave the best care to my dogs and home on numerous occasions. Soleil was prompt in communicating, sent updates and if anything came up she was quick to let me know. I travel for work, so have had experience with numerous pet and house sitters and Soleil is definitely one of the top! I wish she still lived in the same town;) In addition to her being my pet/house sitter, she was also a member of my team in her college job. Honest, dedicated, hardworking and team player are some characteristics that describe her work ethic.”
