Oli is wonderful! Our pups need special care (one is a blind tripawd and the other wears shoes for all outings) and Oli did an excellent job caring for them - keeping up with all of their special needs, medications, and of course giving them lots of love.

First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.

Kayli did a wonderful job taking care of our girls while we were out of town. She provided regular updates and pictures and reached out when she noticed one of our dogs was chewing at her paw. It was just some mild irritation, but I appreciated her paying close attention to our dogs and letting me know there was a possible issue. I'd use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Amanda was fantastic. I feel secure in leaving her with my dogs. She followed their schedule and gave them a lot of love and attention. My home was just as I left it when I returned. She is intelligent, personable, and dependable. I plan to use her for my trip in September. I can now go on my cruise knowing everything will be okay at home. I highly recommend her.

I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.

Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

Rachel was amazing! She helped with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend, and both dogs (and our cat) loved her and were so excited to see her. She stayed in communication with us the entire weekend and sent great pictures with updates. She followed all the instructions we left. Both dogs have terrible separation anxiety, but they didn’t seem to miss a beat while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!

Lee jumped in and helped housesitting my dog and cat while I was out of town. He was great! I got daily updates with photos (always appreciated). My cat and dog were both well loved and well taken care of. He was quick to respond and always asked questions. Would definitely have him watch my fur babies again when I'm out of town!

Laney is very sweet and was a great communicator before and during our trip. Her pup, Cannoli, is a sweet girl and our boys enjoyed spending time with them. We’re so glad that we found someone that could stay with our boys and provided a stress free experience!

Alexander is a super responsible and friendly person. He’s one of my best friends and I have seen him care for his new puppy, Rocky, during 2020. I saw how he was very diligent on feeding, training, and playing with Rocky during his early puppy years. Alexander has always loved dogs and I think he would be a great person to take care of anyone’s dog!

Gabriel is great! He took excellent care of my two older cats—one of whom requires twice-daily medicating—while I was away. He was responsive to my texts, followed all the complicated instructions I left and was super responsible. I would definitely use his terrific help again and highly recommend him to other pet lovers in the area.
