“Jayme is an absolute life saver! The most reliable attentive, kind and caring pet sitter we have ever had. Our two puppies and cat love him! We were in a pinch where we had to leave for the day and Jayme saved us with coming through in the clutch. I would give 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend and I highly always recommend tipping well with his very reasonable rates!”

“Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!”

“Kalani was absolutely wonderful for us and our two dogs (one senior pup and one very anxious younger pup). She has great energy and I felt at ease the moment we met her prior to our departure. We were so lucky that she was able to accommodate us last minute and was very quick to respond and coordinate with our plans. Kalani is very self sufficient, easy going but responsible and thorough. She communicated very well while we were away, providing pictures every time. I know that Eli and Pearl really enjoyed her company and attention and we would love to have Kalani back anytime!”
“Han ah did a great job with Peanut. She sent regular updates with pictures or videos. She made sure to follow our instructions on feeding and walking. I felt comfortable that Peanut was getting good care. I will hire her again.”

“We had a great experience with Annalee! She took wonderful care of our dog, Milli, and kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos. It was clear that Milli was happy and well cared for while we were away, and Annalee also left our house absolutely spotless. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and professionalism and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again in the future!”

“Jayne watched our two dogs for three nights while we were out of town. One of our dogs is anxious and takes some time to warm up to new people but Jayne didn’t bat an eye during the meet and greet. It’s clear she has experience handling a wide variety of temperaments and Winnie warmed up to her quickly. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. Grateful to have found a trustworthy person who seems to enjoy connecting with a variety of doggy personalities.”

“Russell was an excellent sitter in our home for our demanding cat while we were away for 10 days. He sent lots of pictures and asked good questions. It was super clear how much he cared about her well-being and loves animals. We would highly recommend Russell as a pet/house-sitter!”

“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”


“Paige was amazing! She’s a great communicator and asked plenty of questions during our meet and greet, and before we left. She provided great updates and sent lots of photos while we were away and we could tell that our boy had a great time while Paige watched him. Highly recommend booking Paige to take care of your pets.”

“Edmond did a great job keeping me upset with lots of information about what he and Hobbs did, sent me plenty of pictures and Hobbs loved him! Would highly recommend!”

“Taylor was fabulous! She watched our two dogs at our house for a week and took excellent care of them. She communicated well and left the house in pristine condition. Overall, a wonderful experience!”

“Isabelle was a great dogsitter over a long weekend. She’s always on time and is very communicative with updates and pictures! I would highly recommend for dog sitting or walks”

“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”

“Niani took exceptional care of our two pups and home. She was patient with our anxious girl and handled medications with no issues. Highly recommend her! She’ll be at the top of our list for future trips!”

Holly was a great Cat Sitter for my orange girl cat! She took care of my girl like her own and also seamlessly helped manage a problem with the AC while I was gone. What could’ve been a very stressful situation was totally manageable, thanks to Holly‘s hands on approach. Thank you Holly!

Karima stayed at our house for two full weeks to watch our dog and cat while we were out of town. She was great! Karima was very communicative and sent us photos of both pets every day, and kept the house tidy while we were away. We will definitely use Karima again, as we came home to very happy and chill pets who seem to genuinely miss her now that she’s gone!

Second time Carol stayed with our old dog. This time the dog got ill - Carol took her to the vet, made sure she got all the new meds set up, cared for her so well that the dog is bummed she is gone. I can’t imagine a more caring responsible pet sitter. She also communicated so well with us throughout it all. It’s hard to be away from a sick old dog but we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in such good hands.

Margaret is amazing at overnight pet / housesitting. Communicative, flexible and took care of everything! Definitely hit the jackpot with reliable, caring and consistent pet care. Our pup loves Margaret and knowing he’s comfy and safe when I’m away is the best feeling.

Dylan was great! She housesat for Bert and Wally over the weekend and gave us plenty of updates (we loved all the pictures and videos!). She asked questions about our care instructions which I really appreciated with our high maintenance/ reactive dog. We will be booking her in the future!!

Jillian was a communicative, responsible, and caring sitter for our cat while we were away for the week. Our cat is often shy at first but she took the time to help him get comfortable with her. She was easy to communicate with, proactively let us know her schedule, and sent lots of pictures. We would recommend Jillian and would work with her again!

Brianna continues to be amazing! I had to go out of town for work, and feel very lucky Brianna was available! My trio are picky; they're still adjusting to a temporary move to DC, and are more prone to hide than not. ALL of them came down to hang out with Brianna, and she treated them with care. Thank you, Brianna!

Paige was amazing! She’s a great communicator and asked plenty of questions during our meet and greet, and before we left. She provided great updates and sent lots of photos while we were away and we could tell that our boy had a great time while Paige watched him. Highly recommend booking Paige to take care of your pets.
