1. Michael & Madisyn M.

“Michael and Madisyn are the best dog sitters we’ve had! We got daily updates on feedings, play time, walks and cuddles. The house was literally spotless when we returned. They’re communicative, respectful and most importantly, truly love and care about your pets. I highly recommend them for any services.”


2. Lauren & Ernest M.

“Both Miso and Tofu had an amazing time with Lauren! They looked well cared for and really happy. Highly recommend Lauren to watch over your beloved cats!”


3. Renee T.

“Renee did an amazing job house sitting for us when we were out of town for New Year's! Renee went above and beyond taking care of Elsker and Kody who were crazy excited to hear that garage door open and go for a walk at least 3 times a day!!! Every day we got a lot of picture and video updates of Elsker and Kody walking, sniffing and even observing a bunny!! Renee not only took care of our fur babies but also took care of the house: the trash was picked up on time and everything in the house was in order, just like we left it. We can't thank Renee enough for taking care of Elsker and Kody and of our house. We will definitely be using Renee's help in the future!”


4. Morgan L.

“Morgan is amazing! She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a week. Morgan was responsive to messages and sent daily pictures to let us know how our pups were doing. I would highly recommend her services and will be using her again in the future.”

7. Alexis K.

“Alexis was amazing! She was really easy to communicate with and always sent pictures and videos throughout our trip. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats so things can be overwhelming sometimes but she made sure everyone felt loved and got all the attention they needed. She really went above and beyond our expectations. The house was clean and everyone was brushed and happy. I definitely recommend Alexis for any house-sitting needs.”


8. Mariana U.
“I've known Mariana since we were in 6th grade (around 2012), and she has always been the first person I think of when it comes to a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Throughout the years, I've watched her show incredible devotion to her own two family dogs, always attentive and full of affection. Her passion for animals extends beyond her own pets—she's fascinated by all sorts of creatures, from sloths to capybaras. I have a cat and a dog myself, and whenever Mariana visits, she instantly connects with them, showering them with hugs, kisses, and endless attention. Her sweetness and care for every animal she encounters make her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter!”


9. Ali T.

“Ali was a great sitter! She sent me a picture of our doggies when she arrived and let me know how things went and how the dogs got along. She left our house just as good as we did. :) Thank you, Ali! We'll book with you again.”

16. Taylor W.
“In the time I have known Taylor, I have been blown away by her gentle spirit and her caring nature. She is someone that you will automatically feel safe with and comfortable around. Of course, this extends to how she treats and interacts with animals as well. You want to be sure you are leaving your furry friend with someone safe, reliable, and fun, which are all qualities that Taylor possesses. I would choose to leave my dogs with her in a heartbeat.”


17. Callista S.
“Callista's love for my sweet aging cat was so comforting. She was reliable and went above and beyond to show kindness to both me and Snowbell.”


18. Gigi N.

“Gigi did a phenomenal job! All my cats look healthy and happy when I came home. If the cats messed up the house, she’d let me know and offered to clean up after them. She communicated well and I received pics of my cats frequently. Above all, Gigi also went above and beyond for my old cat who is a fussy eater. He ran out of his favorite food and she bought more of that particular flavor for four additional days. I highly recommend her as a house sitter!”


19. Monica S.

“We had the most incredible experience with Monica! Our puppies loved her and she took care of our house as it were her own. Very excited to book her in the future!”


20. priscilla s.
“Rika had a wonderful stay with Priscilla. Priscilla has a large outdoor space which Rika adored running around and exploring with Priscilla’s four other dogs. Priscilla was a kind and an excellent communicator, Rika had an upset stomach for one of the days on her stay, and Priscilla seemed very genuine and made sure Rika was well treated and got back to good health. Also loved how Priscilla sent daily photos, videos and updates.”
