4. Honey T.
“I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.”

11. Vanessa R.
“Lucy had a great 4-night stay with Vanessa! She had a restless first night but then she settled in and became her cuddly self. (Lucy can be reserved with people, so it says something that she came out of her shell that quickly!) I appreciated Vanessa's daily photos and updates. She and her partner, Andy, live near a park and Lucy enjoyed visiting there. It was clear when we picked her up that Vanessa and Andy had treated her with love and care. I'd definitely use Vanessa again.”

14. Nicole S.
“I could not have asked for a better sitter! Nicole was amazing with my blue heeler who is very sensitive, high energy, and wary of new people. Nicole’s calm demeanor and extensive experience with dogs put my dog and I both at ease immediately. I especially appreciated Nicole willingness to meet up before we had booked our dog’s stay to see if they would be a good fit together. Nicole was always easy to get a hold of, and sent tons of pictures and videos of our girl every day out on walks to the beach and mountains and playing in her yard. I will absolutely be having her watch my dog again!”
15. Geneva K.
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!”

“Kara is amazing! She is kind, has great communication and our dog, Tessa, really seemed to like staying with her.

I picked up a happy and healthy dog today, and am so thankful for that!”
20. Svet L.
“Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.”
