1. Emily G.

“Emily is a very trustworthy sitter who took great care of my Effy. She is a timely communicator and took down a detailed account of her time with my pet (as Effy is a struggling with a health issue), which I greatly appreciated. On time, and flexible.”


2. Andrew N.


“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”


3. Coty C.

“We have two large, high maintenance dogs and one is a puppy with some health concerns. Coty took great care of them! She even gave them their meds and special diets and all! We are going away again in a few weeks for 5 days and I'm so glad we can rely on Coty!”


4. Olivia V.

“Olivia was wonderful with the overnight stay with our Lacey. Lacey seemed calm and less anxious in our return. She pointed out the treats for Olivia to give her, too. We’re all wrapped around Lacey’s paw! Thanks so much Olivia!!”




5. Donna C.


“Donna is outstanding. Of all the people I had contacted she responded right away and throughout working together over several weeks was also very responsive, PROACTIVE and professional. I never had to “chase” Donna down or wonder if she was coming! She was also fantastic with my little Maltese. I really hope Donna will be available should I need her again!”


6. Ella V.

“We recently used Ella for the first time. During her stay our dog needed immediate care due to a bladder stone blocking his urinary tract. Ella did a great job recognizing the signs, communicating with me, and taking our dog to the ER. We are lucky she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure he received the care he needed.”


7. Jason A.


“Jason was great - he was kind enough to meet our dogs before his stay and took care of them while we were gone for a few days. Our home was spotless upon our return. Thanks, Jason!”


8. Cole W.

“Cole watched our dog for a night at our house and was fantastic! Our dog, Shibobo, is a large, mischievous sheepadoodle, and he did great with navigating Shibobo's quirks. Cole was very responsive and kept us updated during the visit. Shibobo clearly enjoyed his time with Cole. We highly recommend Cole to anyone!”


9. Daniel C.

“Daniel was such a fabulous dog sitter. He took wonderful care of my dogs. In fact I think they were sad to see me come home because they liked him so much. He provides lots of pictures and was great at communicating. I will absolutely use him again when I have to go out of town.”


10. Nik H.

“Nik takes excellent care of his pups. He takes them on long walks, and plays ball with them at the dog park. They're joyful, healthy, and well trained dogs. My pup is always very excited for play dates with Nik and his pack, she comes home happy and exhausted. There are few people I'd trust to watch my pup, and Nik is one of them. His attention to detail, kind nature, and patience will put your mind at ease, you can trust that he will keep your pet safe and happy. I highly recommend Nik as your next sitter!”


11. Gretchen K.

“Gretchen was super sweet and nice! She sent me pictures whenever I asked for them and I came home to a very happy doggy! She even hand sketched a beautiful picture of my dog Daisy!”


12. Ankur G.

“Ankur did a great job looking after our cats while we were away. He communicated often and I was completely relaxed knowing he was in charge. I’ve already booked him again for our next trip.”


13. 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.”


14. Taylor S.

“Taylor was amazing with our Lucky! She stayed at our house with him for a week, sent updates and left the house spotless, even washing towels & linens! She even cancelled her Friday night plans when our flight got delayed by hours and stayed late with him! It’s obvious how much she cared for him which gave us so much comfort enabling us to get away! We are so happy we found her and will definitely be using her again :) thank you, Taylor!”


15. Mia E.

“Mia stayed overnight at our place with our dog, Penny, and did an amazing job. She sent updates and photos, took her on walks and potty breaks and asked questions when needed. Penny had great time and Mia was super communicative and fun to work with. We'll definitely haver her back to care for Penny again!”
