Victoria did an amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. Could not have asked for better care while I was away. She made a special trip back to my house to let them out again due to my flight not getting in until midnight. Appreciated her communication while I was gone.

Thank you again Lori...my girls were well cared for, which of course eased my concerns on our mini road trip. My girls, all 3 of them appear to be very comfortable with you. We will use you again.

Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.

Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.

We've had several pet sitters in the past at various rates, and Megan has done the best, absolutely worth the price! Very proactive in providing updates. We had a Google doc with the pets schedules and likes/ behaviors. Meghan is awesome and followed it all excellently! Their schedule worked out for her to be with them during the day so she could stay at her place overnight. Our pets love Meghan and she helped put our minds at ease while we were away. 10/10 highly recommend.

Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

Summer did an amazing job. This was our first experience with in-home care and it was really reassuring to know that Bama was getting good care. She noticed if there were any issues, worked with me when things came up, and, most importantly gave her love and attention when we weren't there. Her vet tech training gave me peace of mind since Bama is an older dog. She sent pics and videos, which I really appreciated. I would definitely use Summer again if the need arose. Thanks, Summer!

Katlin is great with our two greyhounds! She was flexible with our changing schedule and consistently on time. Our old boy tripped on the patio step and got a bad scrape; Katlin handled the emergency well and kept us up to date with the situation. She'll be my first ask next time we use Rover!

Sydney was so great with our two large dogs! Sydney was already working a full day interning for BPZ, but she modified her schedule so she could help us out. She was easy to work with and asked questions when needed. I believe she's very trustworthy and has a genuine love for animals. She sent several updates during the day (even a couple pics), which brightened my day and assured me the boys were in good hands. I would definitely have Sydney back, and would consider longer stays in the future. Thanks, Sydney!

Sophia was great! She stayed with Tiffany while we Al were out of town for the holidays and when we got home Tiffany was so happy and calm. I’m always nervous leaving our senior girl with anyone, but Sophia sent us updates and pictures and made sure everything went smoothly.

Nadia watches my 2 dogs and two cats when we are out of town and let’s them out for us a few times a week. Nadia walks them and feeds them for us. Nadia has taught our dogs how to sit, stay, heel and fetch a ball. Nadia is a sweet pleasant girl and loves and cares for pets so well. She truly will be a wonderful person for your pets. Melea Q
