“Christina did such an amazing job watching my cats, what a blessing! My cats immediately trusted her from the start. She provided so many updates and great photos! The cats received so much attention from Christina and I could tell they had a blast. I appreciate the great care from Christina and will absolutely book in the future!”
“Zilalai is a 5-star pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cats and my home. I appreciate that she read the instructions and kept the pets on their usual schedule. Zilalai was also very reliable. She went above and beyond by handling a blizzard and an unexpected plumbing issue with ease. She also left the house tidy. I am hoping Zilalai can come back to cat sit again during my next trip. With Zilalai on the job, I can truly relax and know the pets and house are in good hands. Thank you, Zilalai! 😻”


“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”


“Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands. Thank you so much!”

“10/10 experience! We needed a last minute sitter for our pets and we are very picky about who takes care of them. Hsiao-chia took our long instructions with such grace! Our pets loved her and she made sure to check in with us - easing my anxiety lol. We will certainly use her in the future!”

“Anastasia is great! She is communicative, trustworthy, and even brought in a package for me. We could see through photos that Mocha loved Anastasia’s company and we knew she was being really well taken care of while we were away.”

“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was blessed to have grown up with a Golden Retriever, Hugo, and a Shih Tzu, Lilla. Both of those dogs were my best friends and I made so many memories with them. My love for animals allows me to offer personalized, attentive care with a focus on safety, companionship, and fun. I have experience working with small and medium dogs and am very reliable/communicative. Before each appointment, I always make sure to check in with each owner to find out more information about what the dog's specific routine and schedule is like. I am also very compassionate about animals and treat each client like they are my own pet. Lastly, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate any last minute changes. I am very fortunate to work remotely full time so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the day to go on walks and give the pups all of the love and attention they deserve. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood that is surrounded by parks and green space. I also live on the third floor of a three family home that has an outdoor yard. Your dog will be very safe and well taken care of in my home.
“Marcus was amazing - provided a ton of updates and pictures so we knew our dogs and cat were in good hands. Definitely will book Marcus again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”

“Katherine did an amazing job taking care of Rob and Jellybean! She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures so we knew both pets were in good hands :)”

“Julia took amazing care of my pup on my overnight trip! I got plenty of pictures and pupdates and she was very diligent in letting me know how things were going. We will be very excited to have Julia again!”


“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”

“Kelly was easily the best sitter I could have hoped for (any other anxious pet parents out there?). She was excellent with proactively communicating prior commitments, and kept in regular contact throughout the Meet & Greet process and duration of housesitting. Before the start of booking, she had already read through our care instructions and was detailed and generous with the photo and video updates. I've never seen our two (admittedly undersocialized) cats adapt to another person so well; anyone would be lucky to have Kelly as their sitter :). Thank you again, Kelly!!”

“Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

About: Hello! I love animals so so very much and would never let harm befall them. I get "They're never this good around strangers!" a lot as well. I'm especially good with easily spooked pets I make and sell crystals and jewelry, so my schedule is flexible and I'm available during most "normal working hours" I'll have lots of time for your pets We have a fairly spacious apartment with a backyard for hosting, and if I'm petsitting at your house I'll follow your instructions to the letter
“Rachael once again took great care of our 3 dogs for us. One of our dogs this time was sick and had a potty accident. Rachael notified us and was so understanding. She cleaned up the mess and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. Thank you Rachael!”
“Maddie provided a safe loving environment for my little dog, Lucia! She also went beyond just taking care of her by sending me daily updates & photos- which made me very happy since this was the longest I'd ever been away from her. Maddie also helped out with moving cars due to some ongoing street work requiring them to be moved while I was away. Highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”

Jules was awesome!! Our dog Archie is high energy and Jules did a great job, he was a happy boy when we returned. Our apartment was left spotless — always nice to come home to. Jules was super responsive and we could rest easy knowing Archie was in good hands. Highly recommend working with Jules!

After a long 10 vacation with some twists and turns, Traci was always communicative, accommodating and highly professional, not to mention just a lovely person. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. During our trip, our dog unexpectedly became sick with vomiting and diarrhea, and she remained calm, composed and compassionate, including middle-of-the-night potty breaks and keeping us informed throughout. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and tremendous peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and recommend her without hesitation.

Ilse was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious dog while I was out of town. She handled my dog's reactivity well and gave her lots of care and attention. Ilse was communicative and flexible and I highly recommend their services. I will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!

Alex took great care of our Goldendoodle puppy, Charlie! He was very attentive to her schedule, our house training efforts, etc. It was also clear that he really loves dogs and shows them great affection. And he’s a great communicator — very responsive when we were trying to schedule this housesitting and also during the visit by sending pictures & videos.
10/10 experience! We needed a last minute sitter for our pets and we are very picky about who takes care of them. Hsiao-chia took our long instructions with such grace! Our pets loved her and she made sure to check in with us - easing my anxiety lol. We will certainly use her in the future!

Anne was great with our dog Rusty. She provided daily updates on how Rusty was doing and great communication to do a walkthrough before the visit. Anne stayed at our home while watching Rusty and everything was neat and tidy when we returned. Would definitely recommend Anne to watch your pet
Carmen was great with our dog, Ruby! We were traveling internationally and the frequent updates and photos from Carmen gave us a lot of peace of mind. We would highly recommend Carmen to anyone in need of a dog sitter and plan to book her again in the future!
Kurt took excellent care of my girl Scout while I was away for work. He was accommodating of my last-minute booking request, wonderfully communicative before and during the sitting, and gave Scout lots of love during the sitting. Kurt thoughtfully set-up a stroll with us in advance to meet and get acquainted with Scout and asked great questions to ensure she'd be comfortable while I was away. He also mindfully asked about and honored my communication and check-in preferences to ensure I didn't worry about Scout while juggling some busy days. I could tell Scout had a great time with Kurt given how relaxed and happy she was upon pick-up and a little sad to say goodbye to her new friend! I highly recommend Kurt to anyone looking for a dog sitter and will definitely be using his services again on my next trip away!

Paige took amazing care of our dog and two cats while we were away for 10 days. She sent us regular updates and pictures and worked with our fussy cat to get him to eat his wet food! We felt completely comfortable and so grateful to be able to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our pets were in such good hands!

Anna did an amazing job with Heidi! Not only did she maintain Heidi’s weekly schedule with drop off and pick up from doggy daycare and bedtime snuggles but Anna also kept our little pup safe and comfortable during the stressful 4th of July fireworks. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
