I couldn't be happier with the care Ryan provided for my Shiba, Nori. Shibas are known for their sensitivity, and Nori responded exceptionally well to Ryan, bonding with him immediately during our meet and greet!! Ryan's ability to handle and bond with a challenging breed with ease was impressive. He understood Nori's needs and quirks, and ensured that Nori felt comfortable. Ryan kept me updated frequently, took excellent care of Nori, and my apartment looked great upon my return. Ryan is very professional and caring, I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable dog sitter!

Keon did such a great job with both of my dogs. One of my dogs is a bit anxious and is overly attached, so Keon offered to come over earlier than his scheduled time to ensure the doggo was comfortable. Both of my dogs have two totally different personalities, which gives me a bit of anxiety when I travel. But Keon made my time away a breeze - will definitely use him in the future.

Mary was an amazing pet sitter. I had never been apart from my dog for more than a night before and was feeling a lot of anxiety about having four days away from him. However, Mary sent so many photos and updates and responded so promptly to my questions that I felt able to enjoy my time away.

Shanique is a complete professional. She watched my dog for a week on relatively short notice. She needed minimal instructions - she just just knows good dog care. I asked her to help me work on my dog’s barking and I swear even that has been better since I got back from my trip. My dog even found her sheets before I washed them and snuggled into them! I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be making Shanique my go-to.

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

I could not recommend Jess enough! She was given a pretty challenging task (our 4 month old puppy ?) and she truly went above and beyond to care for our pup Evie and also implement things we’ve been training her! She sent so many pictures and gave lots of updated which put me at such ease. She also left our apartment extremely clean and organized after her visit - even washing the items she used which was so not needed!! It truly felt like i had a close friend staying with Evie and we’ve already rebooked her for our next trip ?

Ann Marie watched our two lab mixed rescues...1 and 2 years old..for a week while we traveled to my daughter's graduation. She was great! Lots of walks everyday, she sent pictures daily and wasn't afraid to text with questions. She looked after the house for us..everything we needed to enjoy the in-person graduation we thought would never happen! I would highly recommend!!
