Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

The best pet sitter in town! This was my first time leaving him for more than a few hours, and I was very nervous he wouldn’t do well. My dog absolutely adores Matt and got so excited the first time they met. Matt when over and above with his services and even took him out for an extra walk each day. I got tons of pictures and videos of Buddy having the time of his life! It was so nice to see Buddy having so much fun. If you are looking for someone to drop in for your dog Matt’s the person to go to!

Maria gave me the peace of mind when I was traveling and my dog refused to go out. She handled my difficult dog with care and handled it perfectly. Thank you Maria!

Madison was so patient with my cat, Potter. He's a little shy but she gave him his space & he loves her! So thankful to trust someone so kind & thoughtful with Potter.

Amber was so friendly. She is a true animal lover. Knowledgeable. Reliable. Goes the extra mile. Flexible. Communicative. My cat connected with her and warmed up to her already in the meet and greet. I highly recommend Amber.

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Emilie was amazing, she kept me updated with not just the care she provided for my cats, but also generally how they were doing (they seemed nervous at first but really opened up to her). She was so sweet with them and she took the BEST and silliest pictures of them. This was my first time ever using a pet sitting service and I’m so glad Emilie was so kind and accommodating. Definitely recommend her!

Danica was an amazing Rover for our dog! She was super responsive and sent the cutest photos. She gave extra care to our dog during a storm and kept us updated on how she was doing while we were gone. Our dog was well cared for and entertained the whole weekend! We will plan to use Danica again in the future!

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Alexandra is an amazing pet sitter! She recently looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a more caring and responsible caregiver. Not only did she ensure that my cat's basic needs were met, but since my cat is a very active kitty who needs a lot of attention, she also took the time to play with her and give her the attention she needed! She also made sure to keep me updated with very cute pictures of my cat when I was missing my cat most, and her communication was very consistent and reliable so I was never worried. I also trusted Alexandra to take care of my pet because of her various experience fostering animals in the past. I know that she has had experience fostering a variety of animals with different personalities and needs, and has provided a loving environment for all of them. She truly cares about these animals, and it really shows. I couldn't recommend anyone better to take care of your pets!

Carolyn did a great job watching my sweet cat, Lucy! Carolyn came beforehand for a meet & greet, - she took notes and asked great questions to be best prepared for the visits. Every day I received several pictures and a sweet message about how they spent their time together. By the end of the week, it was clear Carolyn & Lucy had developed a friendship. It was such a relief to know Lucy was in great hands while we were away. Thank you very much. We will definitely book again in the future!

Paola is wonderful! She sent me photo updates and took the best care of my animals. She carefully monitored how they were doing and let me know with each visit. When my dog did not want to go outside on her visit, she took him out for a short walk to make sure he went to the bathroom. Paola truly knows how to care and connect with animals. I hope she is available in the future for all my pet care needs.
