“Amy clearly loves cats, and we fully trusted her with our two boys. Also she did a great job taking care of our house and plants while we were away.”
“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”
“Rachel was great and our pets loved her. She gave regular updates and was very responsive and adaptable. Would definitely book with her again.”
“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!”
“Hello! I'm a friend of Ava's, and she came over to visit me and my partner the day before I was supposed to bring home a 4 month old kitten. The breeder informed us at the last second, however (while she was eating lunch with us), that we would have to pick him up a day early. This was an issue for me, because I needed to be gone for 5 hours the next day at my niece's birthday party, and I didn't want to leave my new kitten for that long within 24 hours of bringing him home. Ava very generously offered at that moment to stay the night and watch our little baby Pishi while I was seeing my niece the next day. Not only that, since we didn't expect to bring him home early, we hadn't finished cat-proofing the apartment yet. Ava not only offered to cat sit at the last minute, but she also helped us prepare the apartment to make sure it was a safe and clean place for Pishi to arrive. All this is a testament to how caring and thoughtful Ava is, not only as a friend but as a lover of animals. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby boy, and Pishi LOVES his Auntie Ava. I am certain she would treat anyone else's pets with the same level of care as Pishi was so lucky to receive so early in his time with us.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Emma house sit and take care of our beloved dog, Tobias. From the moment we met Emma, we knew Tobias was in good hands. Her warm approach and genuine love for animals shone through. During our time away, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which greatly eased our minds. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Tobias. Emma's attention to detail and exceptional care were so impressive that we didn't hesitate to book her for another house sitting right away. Highly recommend Emma for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter!”
“Leigh was absolutely wonderful with our old girl! We will definitely be using her again for any future needs. Our girl had a great time and Leigh followed all of our instructions as our old girl does have some needs. Thank you so much Leigh!!”
“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”
“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”
“Prompt communicator, required little instruction. Appreciate the help.”
“Alana was wonderful - she’s responsive during the booking process and followed all the notes we went over during our meet and greet discussion. I have an 11 month old whippet who is a little nervous to be left with a new person, but he warmed right up to her! Alana was very patient and gave lots of updates. Would definitely use her sitting services again.”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, doves, turtles, bunnies, and even a bat in recovery. I rescued my last two dogs back home, but I lost them before moving to the U.S. I miss them every day, so now I pour all that love, care, and goofy joy into every pet I meet. As an interpreter, I manage my own schedule—so pet sitting fits right in! I’m flexible, reliable, and can plan visits, walks, or overnight stays around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or keeping their routine steady, I’ve got it covered. 🐾 In your home, I care for pets like they’re my own—gentle, loving, and respectful of their routines. I keep their space clean, their bellies full, and their tails wagging (or purring) with joy. 🐶🐱💛
“Sara watched our two pups at our house for the weekend and did an amazing job. One of our dogs is a little skittish and she easily bonded with her. She followed all of our instructions, left our house spotless and was very respectful of our home. We would absolutely use her as our dog sitter again!”
“Eveline saved us with a last minute booking before New Year’s Eve! We were relieved she could help us out again on short notice, as we really enjoyed the experience of working with her (per the other review!)”
“Lena was a wonderful caretaker for my dog while I was away for a week. She is very responsive, sent regular photos and updates, and left my home in better condition than I gave it to her! She also was diligent in asking questions and ensuring she was able to provide the best care possible for my dog. I will very gladly have her watch my dog again!”
About: If you’re reading this, call me Stina! 😸 I have been a cat owner my whole life. I love ‘em all—friendly, shy, mean, aloof, cuddly; I will meet your cat where they’re at. I don’t have as much experience with dogs, but am comfortable around them, and am happy to walk, jog, and provide belly scritches to your dog. 🐶 I work mid-shift, so I can meet your pet in the mornings or in the evenings. Happy to make time on the weekends as well! I am very conscious of animals’ signals and respect their needs. If they want space, it’s okay; if they want cuddles and playtime, we’ll do that! It’s a privilege to meet new animals, whatever their personalities may be.
“Margo watched Bagel for a week, and I know I left him in good hands! She was caring, attentive, and communicative throughout. I'll definitely book her again the next time I need someone to watch Bagel, and I'd recommend her to anyone in need of someone to care for their pet.”
“Alesandra was a big help while watching my dog last minute! She was easy to communicate with and I know my pup enjoyed her company! Would definitely book her again!”
“Devin did such a wonderful job dogsitting for us over the weekend! She handled everything perfectly, was very responsive, and most importantly the dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. We would gladly ask her to watch them again. Thank you, Devin!”

Darlene was absolutely wonderful. She is responsible, caring and attentive. She provided us with updates and was very response throughout. Would have her pet sit again without reservation!
Margo watched Bagel for a week, and I know I left him in good hands! She was caring, attentive, and communicative throughout. I'll definitely book her again the next time I need someone to watch Bagel, and I'd recommend her to anyone in need of someone to care for their pet.
Bradlie was wonderful! It was super easy to schedule a meet and greet, and she was great with our dog for the short time they spent together. We came home to a very happy puppy!
Anna took great care of our cat and dog while we were away! She was sweet and communicative, and she arrived on time for the in-person meet and greet before the trip. We came home to a clean space, happy pets, and appreciated the daily photo updates. Would definitely book her again!
Repeat customers and both I and (much more importantly) Izzy (my GSD) are big Eveline fans! She is always wonderful: responsive, professional, reliable and very skilled and adept with handling an array of dog needs and behaviors.
Kennady was so attentive to Rex and Lily and provided such great updates! It was clear even at the start of the meet and greet that they would be at ease in Kennady’s presence, and their happiness in every photo update during the stay was evidence. Our home was spotless when we got back and we are already planning to rebook her for our next trip away!
Eve recently house sat for us and took great care of our two 4-yr old kitties. She was great with daily updates and pictures and was proactive with questions. We returned to happy kitties and a clean home. We’d definitely use Eve again!
Sara was amazing with our pups! We have 1 who's quite shy and she was patient enough to get him out of his shell. The pups loved her and she did a fantastic job.
Frank loved his time with k. Very communicative, sending lots of pics and taking care of him when there was a thunderstorm. We’ll definitely be reaching out to K for future bookings!
Elise was an outstanding sitter. Really communicative and accommodating, and I could tell from her updates the effort she was putting into keeping Kyrie engaged and comfortable. Came back to a happy, healthy dog and the house even cleaner than I left it. Would absolutely have her watch Kyrie again!
Jordanne was fantastic! My dog loves her. She’s very communicative and just an all around great person. We’ll be coming back to her!
Haley was absolutely wonderful with Izzy. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, made sure Izzy has plenty of snuggles, enrichment and play time. Took her for long walks, followed specific training protocols we use for Izzy on leash and even provided impromptu first aid with a perfectly wrapped bandage for an old injury to ensure Izzy would not exacerbate it. She went above and beyond to ensure Izzy’s comfort.
Shea was fantastic! I asked her to stay at my home to care for my cat, Zeema and pup, George. She came ahead of time to meet both of them. She is kind, caring and respectful and took excellent care of my pets and my home. She gave George nice long walks and sent pictures. I would definitely trust Shea in my home and to care for George and Zeema again!
Rowan was so great with my dog Cosmo! She replied super quickly and was very accommodating. Would recommend.
Sarah was polite, prompt, and even able to accommodate some minor changes of plan with short notice! Tala had a great time with her and we would be happy to book again in the future.
Kelly was great! Very communicative while we were away and took great care of our dog! We will definitely use her again.
Purba did such a great job with my extra spunky Frenchie! She was very communicative and easy to work with, and my pup was very well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!
Justin was wonderful to deal with- smart, responsive, responsible. The pets seemed to like him a lot. I would definitely book Justin again!
Paige was very good with our sometimes challenging dog. She took the time to get to know him and was able to bond with him ahead of time which made the stay go smoothly. We got regular updates and pictures, and she was terrific with the house too. Thank you, Paige!
