Michael was fantastic. I could tell that Merlin liked him right away. The fact that Merlin took a long nap and played while Michael was sitting for him the very first time says a lot. Usually Merlin will freak out and stare at the door. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone. He’s a dog whisperer.

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of Cody! Cody has anxiety and she was very patient with him until he warmed up to her. She sent lots of picture updates and even help me straiten up my kitchen. She is a very nice and trustworthy person. I will definitely request her again!

Benn has been a vital help to me and my pup. Shows up ready to not just take care of your pet but willing to work with them and help based on their needs. Frankly he doesn’t charge enough for the level of care. :)

Alia was a great overnight sitter for our two dogs (35lbs and 60lbs). She was able to handle them in a pretty dog-packed apartment building and on walks. Both of them enjoyed having her over and warmed up to her quickly.

I was VERY anxious about leaving our little french bulldog 9m old puppy alone for a week and a half of vacation - Shanique truly put me at ease. She is incredibly kind, very thoughtful, and importantly, Pepe seemed immediately comfortable with her. And boy does she have patience because our little guy is a ball of nonstop energy and has plenty of behavioral quirks :). We will definitely ask Shanique to come back to watch Pepe for future trips!!

We were very nervous to leave our 12 week old puppy alone for the first time. Nia was very communicative and sent us many pictures of CeCe. She kept her entertained and occupied and comfortable. Would love to book again.

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 ?

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!

Mathilda has been nothing but AMAZING. My sweet doggo esco absolutely took to her right away- she sent me tons of photos and videos and kept in touch throughout my whole trip. Hopefully she will be available next time I couldn’t ask for a more trust worthy and caring at home sitter for my fur baby !

Maddie was incredible with Vespa, my 3 year old foster dog! Maddie was incredibly sweet and caring with Vespa, and Vespa felt so comfortable with her that she curled up next to her, which she never does with new people. Maddie was excellent with communication ahead of the dog sitting and during, and I really appreciated the updates about how she was doing. 14/10 would recommend and would have over again!!
