Priti was very communicative and gave regular photo updates. She followed all of the instructions I left very well and was very understanding of the dog’s reactivity. After a weekend away, my dog was in a great mood so I know he was well taken care of!

Erika immediately made a great connection both with Ember and myself, and her gentle, sweet treatment of my dog immediately established that Ember would be her priority while she stayed with my dog. She sent pictures and videos and provided feedback throughout her stay with Ember, demonstrating both her high level of care for my dog but also understanding that this trip was the first time I have left my pup with someone new since the pandemic. Erika put my dog first and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to stay with their beloved pet. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Dara housesat our two large dogs for a long evening while we went to a concert! The dogs immediately warmed up to her and we came back to two happy, resting dogs. Dara communicated so well with us from the planning stage all the way through to the end. I really appreciated how detail oriented she was when asking about routines, safety, and each dogs’ likes and dislikes. She also seemed genuinely excited to hang out with our dogs. She managed our dogs who both have some behaviours (one food guards and my foster is not good on a leash) beautifully. I will definitely book her again.

Kim is the BEST! She took such wonderful care of our anxious pup. She went above and beyond and took care of our dog recovering from a minor procedure that we had to schedule pretty last minute. We felt so comfortable with her, and we’re so grateful for her taking such great care of Dougie!

Jessica did a great job through a challenge with my dog who broke into a cat food bag and had bathroom issues as a result. She went above and beyond sending my rug to be cleaned. Communication was great and she took good care of my animals. Both dog and cat seemed very happy when I got home. I would highly recommend Jessica.

John was great taking care of our dog during a weekend getaway. He kept us updated throughout our time away, promptly returning messages. He has a very calm demeanor, which likely helped our dog (who can be anxious) promptly warm up to him. He left our house tidy and clean. He does have a regular full time job during the week, so you may wish to arrange for additional dog walking to ensure your dog is not alone for an extended period Monday thru Friday.

Stacey was amazing with my doggos. One of the pups had only been with us for a few weeks so was a bit more rambunctious, but she was so patient and loving with him. She sent us videos and pictures daily. AND, she left our home tidier than she found it. Can't recommend enough, will definitely rebook with Stacey.

Shane is not just a devoted dog dad to two charming corgis; he's an unwavering advocate for animals. His love transcends boundaries, and he consistently goes the extra mile to ensure their safety, wellbeing, and, most importantly, their happiness. Shane's commitment to showering them with love and undivided attention is truly commendable. A genuine lover of all creatures, his compassion and care make him a standout guardian for our furry friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane for his exceptional dedication to the welfare of animals. 🐾 #AnimalAdvocate #DevotedDogDad

Susan did a great job taking care of our Lincoln. She was professional and reliable in picking up and dropping off Lincoln at daycare. We appreciated the pictures she sent us. She kept us notified of her departure/arrival time and was willing to be flexible in her schedule. We will definitely request Susan's services again.

About: ***I have a petsitting profile with over 27 reviews on Trusted Housesitters that I am happy to pass along if you’d like to verify my experience! Please feel free to ask for the link! I am a former professional nanny and house manager with a decade of work experience with caring for families’ most precious treasures: their children, pets, and homes! I loved my job and I take pride in being able to bring a sense of comfort, care, and love into other’s homes. Despite this, I have decided to pursue other passions of mine, so I am now a location independent digital nomad working in marketing so that I can balance my love of travel (so that I can work from anywhere) and meeting new people (including furry friends!) Ultimately, I know I miss being able to provide care while on the road, which is why I am pet/housesitting each place I stay in. I have now completed seven sits across five countries and have loved every minute of it! My goal is to continue doing what I love by offering a nurturing hand to other’s fur babies/homes while seeing the world. I look forward to meeting you soon! I also have a full profile complete with reviews on trusted housesitters and lots of character reviews through Airbnb that I am happy to send to you if you’re interested in moving forward with a booking. Please reach out to request. I am a digital nomad currently in DC so I will mostly be working from home - meaning your kitty/pup will get all the attention they desire! As mentioned above I have a decade of experience managing my clients homes and pets as well as 6 months of direct petsitting experience on Trusted Housesitters. I regard your space and fur babies with the utmost respect and take care of them as I would my own space. I keep an open line of communication for all questions and updates, and follow your pets routines as instructed to insure their comfort.

Sam has watched our two dogs many times. He always gave both of them the attention and care they needed, especially with our oldest. Our oldest dog is 11 years old and requires eardrops and the occasional medication. Sam had no issuing administering them.
