“As soon as I met Skylar and saw how fully engaged and professional she was, I was immediately put at ease and confident in her abilities. Skylar came highly recommended, and has proven herself to be extremely trustworthy and impeccably detailed. She has looked after Ziggy for the past 5 years, and regularly stays with him in my home for multiple nights. Skylar is respectful, diligent, caring, and incredibly creative and thoughtful. I am not always happy to leave my adorable pup, but I am always assured that with Skylar he will have full attention, lots of love, structure, new adventures, and an excellent Instagram story!”

“We are so lucky to have Skylar in our lives! She is loving, compassionate, and responsible. Marco and Skylar have the absolute best time together and his reaction when he sees her says it all. When Skylar watches Marco we have the rare ability to truly relax as we know without question that Marco is in the very best of hands. Skylar adapts seamlessly into Marco’s schedule and Marco is able to hang out with his best friend all day without having any change to his routine. Skylar not only takes the very best care of our pup, but she also takes such great care of our home. Skylar has given us the ability to travel worry-free, which is priceless. Skylar is so special, she is truly one of a kind, and we feel so fortunate to have found her.”

“Skylar has been with Brooklyn since she was a tiny pup and we constantly say that finding Skylar was, and continues to be, life changing. We can’t even count the number of times Skylar has watched B - both overnights and for day sitting - and every single time B is the happiest pup and we are able to enjoy our time away because we know she is in the absolute best hands.
Skylar loves B in a way that we thought only we could! Brooklyn is showered with love, attention and positive reinforcement from the moment Skylar arrives and she is always sad when Skylar leaves! Skylar is so in tune with what Brooklyn needs and never misses a beat. If anything seems off she immediately reaches out to us to make sure all bases are covered. Skylar also knows all of B’s little quirks and caters to her needs. We always joke that B loves Skylar more than us and that Skylar is definitely her best friend!
Booking Skylar when we are away has become a number one priority for us because we really don’t want to leave Brooklyn with anyone else. Not only is Skylar so amazing with B, but she is also incredible to us. Her communication is so on point and her detailed updates are so comforting and appreciated. We don’t have a single worry when Skylar is watching B - and she always leaves our home spotless. Skylar is one of a kind and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives!”

“Skylar, aka our Mary Puppins, is simply the best! We don’t worry at all when we leave Riggins with Skylar because we know he’s in the best hands. When planning our last vacation, we booked Skylar before booking our trip. Skylar knows our dog’s quirks and behaviors just as well as we do and she goes above and beyond when catering to his individual needs. She is so experienced that she can handle any doggy situation or training that comes her way and is always willing to give endless belly rubs and snuggles. We honestly believe Riggins lives his best life when he’s with Skylar and he’s definitely in love with her! All of the dogs she cares for are beyond lucky. She takes care of pups as if they are her own. Skylar is an amazing gem and we are so lucky to have found her!”

“Skylar is THE BEST. She has been our go-to petsitter for over 2 years (several stays) and it’s hard to find enough words to describe how truly amazing she is in every regard. We have a 55lb Bernedoodle named Barnaby and he is an extraordinarily valuable member of our family. It is priceless to have such total peace of mind knowing Barnaby is in Skylar’s hands when we’re out of town. We don’t worry about him for a second because he’s with Skylar. We trust her completely.
Skylar is a true professional — she knows everything about how to best care for dogs — she knows healthy normal behavior and she knows when something’s off (and knows how to deal with it and will communicate accordingly). But additionally, she pays perfect attention to every detail specific to Barnaby’s care (diet, medications, etc.) and is incredible about compassionately dealing with any curve balls that come up (like Barnaby having a 24-hour stomach bug that had Skylar outside with him multiple times throughout the night). She makes caring for Barnaby her absolute priority, which I think is probably rare for many petsitters who tend to take on other high-demand work while petsitting.
Skylar is also a wonderful communicator — both when it comes to the booking and confirmation process, but also when it comes to daily routine updates about Barnaby when he’s in her care (we know we can count on an update in the morning and at night; and when anything unusual comes up — like a stomach bug!).
Skylar takes incredible pride in her work as a caregiver of pets and it shows — she’s so credible, so reliable, so responsible, so trustworthy, so lovable —— AND SHE LOVES DOGS — like, REALLY, REALLY loves dogs. On top of all of this, she’s the perfect houseguest and is an absolute treasure of a human being in general.
We *highly* recommend Skylar. Please feel free to contact us if you have any additional information — we are her biggest fans and feel incredibly lucky to have her in our orbit.”

“If you want pet care that feels like a caregiver from your own family, then you need to work with Skylar. She deeply cares for Ben Franklin as if he were her own.
We have been blessed with Ben Franklin, who we do not really like leaving behind on trips, but when he is with Skylar, we feel reassured that he too, will have a loving and fun adventure. Her extreme attention to detail to his schedule, his eating habits, and his walking behavior, is incredible. She is very patient and kind with Ben Franklin, and he definitely takes advantage of the special treatment. We also know Ben Franklin really looks forward to his visits from Skylar (as we can see his smile and tail wagging in every video sent to us). We honestly believe her daily affirmations help with his overall demeanor and the way he interacts with her. She is trustworthy, respectful of our space, and provides timely updates, which puts us at ease and allows us to enjoy our vacation without stress.
Skylar is also transparent and communicative about any challenges that may arise during the duration of her care with Ben Franklin. Due to our consistent communication, Skylar is very knowledgeable about Ben Franklin’s demeanor, which allows for more personalized and high-quality care during her stay with our pup. We are very grateful to have found her and be able to work with her.””

“As new dog owners/overprotective dog parents, it took us a while to settle on a pet sitter. We tried the on-demand apps, various pet sitting services, and tried coordinating our work schedules around caring for our pup, Babka. It wasn’t until a neighbor recommended Skylar that we finally found our match. Skylar allows us to breathe a huge sigh of relief anytime we travel. She’s warm, knowledgeable and patient, and has exceeded our highest of expectations. Skylar sets the gold standard. Can’t recommend her enough.”
— Irvin S.
“Skylar is truly one of a kind! She’s been with our Bozie for 3+ years now and we adore her. She has taken him to the vet when we’re not available and even stays with him so he’s not scared; best of all, she is trustworthy enough to leave in your home with no second thought that your pup and home are in good hands. I truly feel that if Skylar takes care of your pet you’re lucky to receive her unconditional love and service.”
— Jessica B.
“Skylar is an amazing person, with the biggest heart, filled with so much love for her animal friends. My little wolf loves her and enjoys every moment in her care. She takes attentiveness to a whole new level. When Skylar is with your pet you will have no worries, the love is real. I would give her more than five stars if I could.”
— Marsha W.
“Skylar is the most caring and knowledgeable pet sitter I’ve ever known. She doesn’t just walk dogs and feed cats; she bonds with them, playing, hugging, hanging. I used to dread leaving my animals when I traveled; now I tell them “Skylar’s coming” and everybody’s happy. More than that. My dear cat passed away while I was out of town at an unmissable family function. Skylar stayed up with him all night, talking to him and caressing him, telling him he was loved. When he passed, she cried as hard as we did. A truly loving soul who’s also perceptive, intelligent, talented, empathetic, and super-responsible. Highly recommended.”
