“Colleen was definitely a God send, she took excellent care of our Great Dane staying with him during our 7day vacation. She went above and beyond making sure to send us pictures to reassure us he was ok. Duke will definitely be seeing more of her.”


“Arianna took excellent care of our home and our cat, Bella, while we were away in Vegas. Bella has IBS and requires daily medication, which Arianna handled confidently and with care—even though Bella can be a little stubborn! She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us peace of mind and let us fully enjoy our trip. We came home to a clean house and a happy, relaxed kitty. Arianna clearly has a natural connection with animals and was respectful, communicative, and reliable from start to finish. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Allysa was wonderful! She spent a weekend taking care of my dog and two cats and sent pictures of all 3 at least twice a day with very detailed updates. Two of them were on medication and she had no problems getting them to take their pills. I will definitely be booking with Allysa next time I need someone to watch my pets.”


“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“Skye was referred by a friend whom I put great faith in as a pet owner. I could not have been more pleased with the service she provided and the cleanliness in which my home was left when she finished. She stayed in touch and sent pictures that were very much appreciated. Hope to see her again soon!”

“I connected with Cara for a house pet sitting request for over a holiday weekend / work week. Cara was quickly to respond. She was enthusiastic to meet my 2 spoiled and special needs kittens. Her stay at my home went very smooth. She was responsible, respectful, clean and absolutely loved on my boys. I received frequent updates with photos. Once I returned, my boys were very affectionate and calm, tummies full and very well taken care of. Cara has a loyal following now in my household. We absolutely will be repeat customers again.”

Jade C.
“I've got a somewhat chaotic household—one energetic dog and two very opinionated cats. Jade did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions perfectly, gave my dog plenty of exercise and attention, and somehow managed to keep the cats from staging a rebellion while I was gone. I got photo updates every day, which was a nice touch, and she even took care of the litter box without me having to remind her. When I got home, the pets were calm, fed, and clearly comfortable—which says a lot, because one of my cats is famously picky about strangers. I’ll definitely be booking with her again next time I travel. Highly recommended for multi-pet households.”
