Lavinia went above and beyond to take care of our fur baby. She was extremely attentive, caring, and patient. She sent us regular updates with lots of photos, so my husband and I were not worried about our dog at all. Our dog opened up to Lavinia so quickly, which is very rare and we appreciated that she took our dog on long walks even in rainy days! She also kept our house very clean. We would book her again without a doubt whenever we need to be out of town!!

I'm so thankful that John was able to care for my dog, especially during the holidays! John was very respectful and kind; trying to maintain my dog's daily routine while we were away. My dog can also be a bit difficult in warming up to strangers and with other dogs, but John was great at understanding and working with Wally's behavior. Would recommend John's services at any time!

Nisha is absolutely amazing. We were out of the country for about twelve days and I was super stressed out about what to do with our two fur babies. She is incredibly professional, came to the meet-and-greet with thoughtful questions, and we discussed ahead of time what to expect. Nisha provided an update at the end of each day that let us know how the kitties were and if anything of note had happened. There were a few times when she reached out additionally with questions and once to let us know that one of the kitties had thrown up (but then gave us further updates on their eating and playing habits). She provided lots of pictures and it was clear that the fur babies were being played with and cared for. When we came home, everything was clean and in-order. The kitties were happy to see us but not in a way that made me think they had been starved for love and attention, more of a "oh, it's you again!" kind of way. All in all, it was a great experience, and I think both humans and cats would be more than happy for Nisha to come stay again!

I felt very secure in leaving my dog with Ona as my first big trip away from her for 2 weeks! Ona was communicative, caring and flexible to meet everything I was needing while away. I returned to a very happy dog! Highly recommend her services!

I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat. Without me asking she made sure my high energy dog was mentally stimulated all weekend, she made him kongs and even used her own items to create mentally stimulating activities. Don’t hesitate to book Emma , you won’t be disappointed

I would definitely recommend Candace and her boyfriend for your pet-sitting needs! I have two hounds, both special and unique in their own way. One is calm and well-behaved and the other is very outgoing, nosey and not very well behaved. They were able to handle my two dogs with ease and had some great recommendations for me. It was the first time I had used a non-family member as an overnight pet sitter and I was very pleased.

Jessie is outstanding. She had a calm demeanor and a very trustworthy attitude. She sent us several pictures of our dog, letting us know that all was well. Our home was in great shape when we got back from our long weekend vacation. 5 stars!

Jasmine is amazing! She stayed an entire week with our 3 dogs. She sent daily updates and took great care of our house. Our dogs were very well cared for and it made our vacation stress free. One of our dogs has a lot of separation anxiety and she was able to handle him easily. We will definitely be using her again.

This is the second time Emalee has cared for my dog Gretta and she is so great with sending updates, I know that Gretta is well taken care of when Emalee comes to stay. She was also very flexible, and respectful of my home! I’ll book with Emalee anytime I have dog sitting needs again!
