“Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.”

“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”

“Russell took such great care of our dog while we were out of town, and was by far the most communicative pup sitter we’ve had. He kept us updated on everything they were up to which made it easy to not have to worry about how she was doing. Would definitely recommend to others and book him again next time we’re going out of town.”

“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!”

“Jayme is a great house and cat sitter for us. He’s very communicative and conscientious. We love getting multiple photo updates of our beloved pet, who has completely accepted Jayme into his life haha. And we appreciate Jayme’s tidiness in the house.”

“Flor was such a wonderful sitter for my foster pup Betty and my house! She was incredibly communicative, worked to understand my dog's specific needs, and took really thoughtful care of my home. I would absolutely work with Flor again in the future!”


“N’Dia was amazing! I had a last minute all-day meeting and didn’t want to take my pup to daycare. I messaged N’Dia at 10 pm the night before and she responded promptly. She showed up on time bright and early next day ready to take on the day. Summer immediately liked her calm, bright energy. It was an instant connection. During their day together, N’Dia walked Summer for hours and took her to the dog park twice. When I got home, Summer was happy and tired. My apartment was clean, just like I left it. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. As a student at Howard, N’Dia carried herself with the upmost professionalism and was a true gem. I will be using her as my go to dog sitter going forward.”

She sent us pictures and daily updates. I also appreciated the good care she took of our house. I'm happy to hire Taylor again!”

“Stephanie was amazing! She was great with my reactive dog, and my shy cat warmed up to her right away. She even gave my dog a massage, which he absolutely loved. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Jordan was great with my pup! This was her first time sitting for my dog & I was admittedly nervous to leave for such a long trip. She sent updates a couple times a day with pictures which helped ease some of my anxiety. She was also super attentive and followed the care instructions very well. I'll definitely book with her in the future!

Flor was incredible with Mila! She sent us so many pictures/updates and it was clear how much she bonded with Mila. We were so grateful for the quality of care and had complete trust in her, especially while we were without service for several days. Flor also came back to walk Mila in a last-minute request when one of our flights was delayed. We can’t recommend her enough!
Madison spent a few hours at our home with our pups when we were in a last minute pinch due to our schedules and a pup recovering from an injury needing 24/7 supervision. She replied quickly to my initial message and arrived at our home early. She ensured she had all the info needed to care for our pups. Thanks Madison!

Emilee was an amazing dog sitter! She took care of our golden retriever Teddy in the middle of a heat wave on a holiday weekend, and we came back to a very happy dog. She is also so easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos and updates! We are always nervous with a new sitter but immediately felt comfortable with Emilee. She was the best!

Wow, we were so lucky to find Christina available on short notice to house sit our timid kitty, Georgia. We got lots of updates and we’re so relieved to see Christina win over Georgia and make her feel comfortable and confident, something that is tough to do with such a shy and scared kitty. We got updates, photos and videos and extra help watering our yard during this heat wave. We will definitely use Christina again!
