“Sara was wonderful and took great care of my two pups and my house. She went above and beyond and I so appreciate finding someone I can trust with my fur babies! She was also really flexible when I had to add days on short notice due to a family emergency. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Racheal was an excellent sitter for our pup, Coco ! We could tell from the start that he liked her very much! Racheal sent us several messages and photos while we were away. We appreciate that very much. She also left our house the way it was left. Racheal will be for sure our number # 1 sitter next time we have to go away. Thank you Racheal from the bottom of our hearts.”
“Sydney is such a gem! She's quickly become our first contact whenever we're going to be away - she sends lots of photos of our pups playing and snuggling and it's obvious how much care she takes with them. She also leaves our home absolutely spotless and is always quick to respond and take note of any little random loose ends that inevitably pop up. Thank you so much Sydney!”
About: Although I've been a cat person all my life, I've also always loved dogs. Recently my family members have been adopting dogs into their various collections of pets, including a Manchester terrier who has decided I'm his second favorite person (besides my mom, and I can't blame him there!). I've absolutely loved the opportunity to care for him when my parents travel a few times a year, and will absolutely bring that same level of enthusiasm to caring for your pup! I'm primarily self employed, as well as doing gig work, so I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the care they need on a schedule that works for you! I'm most often available on weekdays, as the gigs I do usually fall on weekends. I'm very interested in learning your pet's personality, and taking the time needed to get them comfortable with me. I'm particularly good at "cat language", but am dedicated to learning "dog language" as well. I'd also love to hear from you about your pet's likes, dislikes, preferences, and anything else I should know to give them the best experience possible!
“Ellie did a great job watching my high anxiety pup! She also was very respectful of my house and left things very clean. I would definitely have her back to watch my girl.”
“Courtney is absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend. She provided the best care for my pup and took good care of our home. Courtney is a thoughtful person, great communicator, and talented photographer. She will be our go-to person moving forward. Feeling very grateful our paths crossed.”
“Melissa was great with our cats. She obviously loves them and our shy guy even came out for her on the first day. The house looked great when we got home and she was communicative during her stay. ☺️”
“Eunice was great watching our two dogs while we were in Italy! She kept in good contact, and left our house cleaner than when we left it! We are glad to have found a great sitter for future trips!”
“Grant was absolutely wonderful with our high maintenance, reactive Frenchie Fudge, who has medical and behavioral needs. He was super patient, detail oriented, and loving with Fudge. It was such a relief having him in such good hands. And he left our home spotless! I recommend Grant without hesitation and we'd love to have him sit again.”

“Natalie did an amazing job at communicating with us with updates and pictures everyday. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how our fur kiddos were doing. We will use Natalie again to take care of our three fur kiddos again!”
“Jenae stayed with Iris while we were out of town and we had a great experience! She was super responsive and communicative and flexible when Iris last minute needed to be give some medications while we were gone. Would book again!”
“Kate is amazing!! Our cat was being very difficult and Kate hung in there and brought her around!!! Thank you Kate for your diligence!!! Thoughtful, kind, caring and someone who I could trust in my home and with my baby.”
“Lucas was an amazing housesitter/dog sitter! This was our first foray into house-sitting, and Lucas has sold us on this for sure! Our dogs (who can be a handful) loved him, and we got daily updates. I can't recommend him enough!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in the home and provide dog sitting/walking services to friends and family as needed! Want to expand my care to others! I’m on summer break before starting grad school this fall! So I’ll be around to help as much as you’d like me to be! I will create a safe environment for your pup while I’m in their space and treat everything that I’m doing with care and respect.
“Maiz was great! Our dude was happy and chill when we got home and the videos we got when we were gone were much appreciated. Great communication and would highly recommend!”
“Erica was excellent! She took care of my dog on my wedding day. She arrived on time and my special needs senior dog loved her. I didn't have to stress at all about my dog during my wedding, Erica did a wonderful job and kept me updated with photos. Will definitely work with Erica again!”

Nadiia is the BEST sitter! We have 4 cats and a dog that most would consider high maintenance due to a high energy level and some anxiety/trust issues. Nadiia does a superb job taking care of everyone while we are away and has formed a special bond with our "crazy" dog. She has done both drop in visits and housesitting while we are out of town. It is a much more enjoyable vacation when you know your pets are being so well taken care of while you are gone. She keeps all the routines the same for them, no matter how goofy the routine. We love Nadiia! :)
Megan was so nice! Extremely friendly and instantly made me feel reassured my 4 cats would be in good hands 🥹 our apartment was spotless when we came home and all the kitties got a good brushing. I love that she provided updates and super cute pictures, but made sure to check what our preference was for frequency since we were on a work trip and would be fairly unavailable. Super thoughtful! Highly recommend Megan although I wish she could cat sit only for me 🤭
Melissa was fantastic with my boys and I really appreciated her communication. Charles is diabetic and she handled his BG testing and insulin shots wonderfully. Mancy demands a lot of TLC, and Melissa delivered. I came back to a clean home and healthy kitties — I already have another visit booked!
Eunice did such a wonderful job with watching my buddy! She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating to my dogs needs and my travel plans. She was great at sending pics throughout the stay, took him on walks daily, and left my house spotless!! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to use Eunice again in the future!
We’ve used Aliye twice and love her! She’s great with the dogs and both gives them a good amount of outdoors time and snuggles. Our pups are always content when we get home, and we love knowing that they’re well cared for. That she is a great house guest is a plus.
If we could leave a higher review we would - Nikolaj has house sat for us twice. Each time he was stellar with communication and pet sitting. What’s even more impressive is that our oldest dog, doesn’t give kisses to just anyone -the exception being Nikolaj, which means he has the “seal” of approval. Our house is always well looked after and we are confident in Nikolaj ability to watch our dogs!
Katie is highly communicative, friendly and we felt so good on our vacation knowing our pets were in good hands. This was our first time leaving our puppy behind, and Katie provided lots of updates and continued his training while we were gone! Our cat also fell in love with her, and we could tell he was feeling so relaxed in our absence.
