Highly trustworthy, competent, non-smoking animal lover.
Jinnie took great care of our cat Suki and they became firm friends during her stay. Jinnie was communicative and organised prior to the visit which helped. She was friendly and we had some lovely chats when we returned home.

Joyful, well-employed, traveler in the “best half” of life!
Lisa was a total rockstar, taking over for the last leg of our multi-month sitter extravaganza. She was super organized, showered the pets with love, and left the house looking better than it did when we first moved in. Highly recommend, and would love to have her back any time. Thanks Lisa!

Jennifer was amazing! She is very kind and easy to communicate with - and obviously a great presence with animals. She left my home in better shape than she found it! Not only did she send me funny regular updates about Patches and keep the place impeccably tidy, but helped me stay on top of some issues that cropped up. Plus, she left Patches with some great new toys! Definitely recommend Jennifer!

Paul was friendly and kind and we were lucky to have him spend the weekend with Peanut! He arrived prior to us leaving so that we could show him around and introduce him to Peanut. He had read through all of our care instructions and it was clear he takes great pride in caring for pets and doing what is best for them. We’d love to have him back!

It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Happily retired and loves travel and pets.
Michelle was a great house sitter and Daisy was well taken care of. She communicated well (even changed her flight home to make things easier), kept the house clean, and Daisy was very happy. Would definitely invite her back in the future!

Fiona took excellent care of all four of our animals. She sent us pictures regularly and was communicative with us both before the sit and throughout the week that she house sat for us. The house was very clean when we got back and all the animals were happy. I highly recommend Fiona.

5 Star Rover Sitter to take skills worldwide.
Erica was an absolute pleasure! She was incredibly attentive and sent updates and photos of Disco throughout they day. She left my place clean and better than I found it and Disco was acting normal and calm when I returned…a sign of a great sitter! This was my first sitter through Trust House Sitters and I put up the listing on short notice and am so glad I chose Erica :)
It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Made appt a month ago for bath & hair cut. Go in & told i just scheduled for bath, which i know wasnt so. Wanted to reschedule me. They decided to get SOMEONE to groom my dog. When i picked her up her cut was very nicely done, but she had NOT been bathed. She still stunk & toenails were still real long. Paid $85 for haircut! And no bath! Guess this area needs a new reputable dog groomer.
What a shock! Never had a problem with them before. We have been taking our dogs here for the past year to be groomed every 2-3 months and boarded them also. Called to get a grooming appointment and were told we were "not regular customers and would have to be put on a wait list". I guess us common folk will have to find another grooming and boarding location.
Love the staff, they love all the pets! Always enjoy bringing Lainey here for baths and boarding. They always have a smile for you and take great care of your fur baby. I love her smelling like blueberries!
The staff here care for your pets like they are family. I have been taking my pet family there for 15 years. I have had them bathed, groomed, and boarded. They have reasonable prices and my animals love them back.
We have boarded our dogs here for at least the past ten years, beginning when we moved to the area. I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is always kind and helpful. Some friends have commented that they are too expensive, but to know that our pets are well cared for is worth a few extra dollars.
We always have a great experience here.Our dog loves it.
They are so great with my dog (bo) he loves them there they really listen to everything you tell them recommended.
I've been taking my dogs there for years!! Great people who do a great job.
This place is wonderful. They treat our dogs like they are their dogs. We have our dogs groomed here as well, and their boarding services are top notch. They came highly recommended to us and now I Highly Recommend them to you.
Both of my doggies love this place. They come out smelling good and looking snazzy. (They are boys). Highly recommend
We take our dogs here. Staff is so kind and great with my dogs! They will even go out side to trim my boy dogs nails due to his afraid of everything and weight is over 100lbs lol
Super nice staff easy to do business with an most importantly I trust them with my pet we board her there and they take very good care of her send me pictures and updates I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else 😊 …
Awesome staff! Great grooming! And our doggie, who I might add is 75lbs thinks he was the king going here. He was pampered and loved on, and was able to take his security blanket aka dog bed and favorite toy for his stay. The staff kept us up to date on how he was doing and even did glamor shots of him. Absolutely would recommend this place again for our doggie. This will always be his home away from home.
Great job on my Sophie! She tends to be very cranky when having her facial hair or nails cut and they always have her looking good!
They're wonderful people and take great care of our pets. We boad and use their grooming services. Our pets will go nowhere else.
Amazing prices, fantastic staff, and you can really tell they love and cherish every pet that comes through their doors.
My animals love Jen and her staff,highly recommend!
Our dog had always been traumatized after grooming sessions. Took her to Jen today, Piddles came home relaxed and happy! And her cut was exactly what we ask for! Thanks Jen & crew!!!
Great care and communication as well as super fair pricing for by dogs!
Took our Buster there for first time. Jen was great, Buster looked great and great price. Would highly recommend.
I was worried getting ready to go on vacation about where my dog would stay and have fun and be safe without being kenneled all day, I contacted Brayla because I had seen her Facebook page and seen how happy every single dog looks! She kept my boys for 4 days and gave me updates every single day along with pictures of my goofy boys! They had so much fun and made so many new friends, definitely will be going to her again!
I am always hesitant about leaving my bulldog anywhere because he is high maintenance (lazy but high maintenance) Brayla took such great care of my baby. She sent me pictures to let me know he was ok and adjusting well. He has been there a couple times for boarding. When I go to get him, Brayla always hugs his neck and talks so sweet to him. Makes me feel like they bonded. I highly recommend Spark N Bark.
Amazing place! My two dogs went for boarding and had the best time! The owner is wonderful with my girls and treat them like they are her own. My boxer usually does not do well around other dogs or new places, so I was extremely nervous boarding her for the first time, but she absolutely thrived here! She ended up socializing and interacting with all kinds of other dogs. The owner was so understanding, accommodating, and helpful especially when I had a family emergency and had to extend their stay another few days. My girls will be back boarded and day care at spark-n-bark! 100% recommend!
Our fur babies were welcomed into Brayla’s home with open arms and lots of kisses. We felt extremely comfortable leaving both of them with her the for the weekend. She kept in touch with us by sending pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated. It is always nice to see them happy and playing. We will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend her.
Brayla has a heart of gold caring for all her clients dogs, she truly treats them as one of her own. Daycare--my dogs come home happy and exhausted after spending the day here! Boarding--My dogs did great while under Brayla's care. She communicated often with pictures and general updates. She followed all instructions with their eating and medications.
We have struggled with many places to board our big guy Bacon. He had the best time here last weekend and will be coming back many many many times. Brayla sent us pictures and kept me updated on how he did with other animals and how his health was in our absence as that has been an issue with other places not keeping us informed when issues would come up. He had an amazing time, and was even given a little baggie of yummy treats for the road, will definitely be recommending spark n bark to my friends and family.
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Brayla and her sweet husband were to our fur baby Brandy. We were so apprehensive leaving her. Brayla shared pictures and videos of our baby and you could just see the love and joy. We were even afraid she wouldn’t like being back at our boring house after bringing her home…..Lol. I highly recommend Brayla. She’s the best. What a great feeling it is to go away on vacation knowing your precious fur baby is loved and taken care of. ❤️‼️. Karen and Bill Needy.
This pet sitting service has been nothing short of perfect for me and my husky. I have taken my puppy here for several months now about 3 times a week & would take her everyday if I could. Anytime we have had unexpected situations and need to leave our dog here, we have been able to and were welcomed with open arms. Brayla has done such a great job & will make sure your animal is happy all the time. I HIGHLY recommend!!
My pup Bowser LOVED going to Spark-N-Bark! He will definitely be going back when we need daycare again. He is a high energy dog and was wonderfully worn out by the time I picked him up everyday. It was super good for him. The owner was super nice and even adjusted her drop off time to work with my schedule. Amazing. Bowser can’t wait to go back! ❤️
Goose LOVES going to daycare!! He’s been going here since he was 3 months old and Brayla has watched him grow up and has loved him ever since. She treats all of the dogs like they are her own! She is always contacting me about how Goose is doing there and sends me tons of goofy pics of my sweet boy! 10000/10 recommend.
