1. Crystal & Jadon K.
“Crystal is an exceptional young woman in every way. She knew I was in a spot and agreed to do a last minute sitting job, even though she was having a hospital procedure the same day and the job was nearly 30 minutes away with traffic. She clearly didn't feel terrific -- yet still managed to take the dogs out three times in one evening! She was a last-minute substitute for my original Rover sitter who was MIA for drop off in Connecticut, where I live. So instead, he dogs had to join me on the six-plus hour ride to a wedding in PA. I'd found a dog-friendly hotel, and Crystal agreed to sit there (even though it was a dive!) If ever there was a reason to move back to PA from CT, it would be Crystal. Upon seeing her, it was wiggle butts all the way. The dogs immediately began doing the happy happy joy joy carpet dance belly up on their backs! Often this kind of unbridled affection means they just met a good-hearted sucker (or you've got jerky in your pocket). Au contraire! Crystal did give them modest treats, but she was strict (well, stricter than me) and they obeyed her (more than is typical for my terriers). She clearly has a way with animals, and people, too. She's a lovely person to talk with, and super-smart. I knew she had a chihuahua in her care. I'd told her in advance that Liam (one of my terriers) doesn't always like other dogs and offered to bring a gate, but because we didn't have a pre-booking meet & greet so she could scope Liam out, she left the chi with her son rather than risk drama, knowing that should there be an issue, I might not be able to answer the phone (I was the best man). I was pleasantly surprised when I got back (two hours after expected!) not only that Crystal was courteous enough to wait, but that the chi wasn't there. In my experience, even good sitters can presume owners of small fluffy dogs are being melodramatic when you mention there might be a dog-aggression issue -- especially when said dog is crazy about people. They reason that maybe you let them get away with it but it won't happen when they're around or if it does, they can handle it easily. True enough, but you're an adult human and Liam's only 20 pounds. Believe me, it's not pleasant for the dog he took a dislike to and terrier-ized. Crystal never considered bringing the chi -- she wouldn't risk emotionally traumatizing one of her other charges just for convenience. Yay, Crystal! I don't know what else to say. She did everything right. Took amazing dog photos (she should SELL them -- much better than I've ever taken). Gave them their food, as instructed. Sent updates, even though I couldn't answer. Even the hotel staff loved her. (Despite the hotel being a dump, the staff was superb and knew class when they saw it.) All I know is, if Crystal wants to use me for a reference for anything, anytime, she's got it. She's amazing. If she has one fault, it's geographical -- she's not my next-door neighbor.”

6. Lexie M.
“Lexi was exceptional. Kept us updated, sent pics and played with our Great Pyrenees. She was very kind and personable. On our initial meet and greet she she’d a lot of questions so she could be well prepared. She was a delight to work with. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!”
7. Amber P.
“Amber was absolutely amazing with our 11 month old puppy and kitten and our older cat while we were away for a week! She sent daily updates and pictures on everyone and house-sat as well, we came home to a tidy home and happy pets! Her boys came along some days and managed to wear down the Labrador energy! She followed all of our instructions to a tee and we are so very pleased at the professionalism she showed until the very end of our trip. We will definitely be using her services again! Many thanks for aiding in the discovery of our pets' new best friend!!”

“We have had Jenna pet sit for us numerous times and she was wonderful! We have 3 golden doodles and a 14 year old Maltese she was great with them! They loved her. She made sure my Maltese had her pills in the mornings and fed them, played with them and let them sleep with her which is what they’re used to. We were away for 2 weeks which is the longest we’ve ever left them and they were great when we got home! My dogs are my babies and I wouldn’t leave them with just anybody. I give her 5 stars you can trust her with your pet she loves animals and has a kind and caring spirit!😊❤️🐕🦺”

“Alyssa always does a great job watching and walking our dog Lola, a seven year old cavalier King Charles spaniel. Lola is like a kid to us and having a responsible person with her is extremely important. We never worry when Alyssa is watching or walking her. You can tell Alyssa really enjoys taking her on walks. We would highly recommend Alyssa for anyone who is looking for someone responsible, trustworthy and caring to walk their dog.”
