“Seth was great! He kept in touch with me all the time I was away. The dogs seemed to be happy and well cared for as was my home. He cleaned up before my return, in fact when I got back I could hardly tell that anyone had been in my home! My dogs are hugely important to me and I'm at home with them a lot, so knowing there was someone spending a descent amount of time with them each day while I was away made all the difference to me being able to relax on my vacation.”
“My pets absolutely adore her and her actions also show how much she loves being a caregiver in my absence. Thank you Han! I can come home knowing Max was loved. Thats’s priceless.”
“Josh cared for our two dogs and our cat while we were away for an extended weekend family event. We got regular updates with photos of the girls clearly enjoying themselves. We came home to happy pets who we could tell had been well cared for while we were gone. Will happily book again for future needs!”
“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”
“McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!”
“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”
“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“Ajia is amazing! We utilized her as a house sitter for the first time. She was very responsive, our dog (who can be timid at times) loved her and she was very clean and respectful of our space. Highly recommend.”
“Jennette was great. Prompt, provided detailed updates of our dog’s behavior each day and sent pics. put us at ease that our old but sometimes anxious pooch was well cared for. Would definitely use Jennette again.”
“Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️”
About: Being a mom to two cavachons for over ten years has made my heart warm to animals of all kinds. Prior to being a dog mom, I always looked after neighborhood pets on the weekends. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am free most mornings and evenings. I enjoy walking with dogs the most because that is the most peaceful time of the day with your pet. Dogs and cats are the best part of one's life as they are ultimately your child and man's best friend in a different form so I will do my best to take care of your child to the best of my ability! I am currently very flexible with hours and can work around your schedule at your convenience. I do not expect this to change anytime soon. My usual routine follows with making sure pets are feed and waters are replenished. If dogs, a walk is implemented if requested or let out in the backyard. Cats will get their litter box refreshed by cleaning out any pee or poop. Play time is a necessity!
“Jennifer was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her communication and how she took care of Chase. I got constant updates and pictures. She was extremely attentive and took care of Chase like he was her own.”
“Annie was great with our boy, and he was so relaxed with her. She was so wonderful to come at the last minute when our other sitter had a family emergency and she was very patient when it took us a little while to get home.”
“Madeline was wonderful with our 9yr old dog. She sent us several photos while we were away & we came home to the happiest boy! Highly recommend! Will definitely use her again.”
“My dog, Chloe, felt right at home with Kelley. Kelley was very communicative and sent fun pictures and videos of my happy dog :) She also followed instructions and was very responsible. I definitely recommend hiring her to take care of your furry friend!”
“These two took such wonderful care of our boy! They spent quality time with him, played with him, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. Our kitten immediately warmed up to them, which was everything we could have hoped for. They were punctual with his feedings and were very respectful of our home and space.”

Kelley was an amazing sitter for my pup. She was incredibly accommodating, even arriving earlier and staying later than planned to fit around my schedule, which I really appreciated. She sent regular updates and lots of great photos, so I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Most importantly, she took excellent care of my pup and clearly treated them like her own. I’d highly recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Sissi was great about helping us out at the last minute when my 99 year old mom had to stay in the hospital for another day. She was responsive, prompt, and flexible, as well did a great job with our beloved English Setter boy while we were at the hospital. Sissi is just a very kind, caring person too.
Josh cared for our two dogs and our cat while we were away for an extended weekend family event. We got regular updates with photos of the girls clearly enjoying themselves. We came home to happy pets who we could tell had been well cared for while we were gone. Will happily book again for future needs!
Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!
Davis has a kind, calming demeanor that immediately comforts both pets and their parents. He is knowledgeable about dogs, but also truly wanted to know and understand my Lina so that he could provide the best care. He was responsible and communicative before and during the stay. At one point in my evening I realized I was able to really enjoy myself because I knew my dog was in such good, capable hands. So glad we found him.
Sophie took care of our two dogs for 10 days while our family was on a trip and she was fantastic! She sent pics and updates and our dogs and house were well taken care of. Such a relief to know you have you a reliable, caring individual looking after your furry loved ones!
Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.
I was nervous about leaving my senior cat for a week, but Annie put me at ease! She sent photos consistently and regularly checked in with me. From every photo, it seemed that my sweet girl took to Annie immediately! She also left the place spotless and took good care of the apartment while I was away. I would definitely recommend Annie to fellow pet parents!
Nicole took such wonderful care of our senior dog, who has quite a few challenges. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease, and it was clear he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She handled all of his quirks and needs with such calm and understanding, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we trust and we would absolutely recommend Nicole to all dog owners, and especially for those dogs who need a little extra love. So very thankful we found her!
I liked Brianna the first time I met her, and she didn't disappoint and gave me the all-important peace of mind leaving my aging dog for a weekend trip away. She stayed at my house, she's trustworthy, lovely and kind. Frequent updates with photos and video, and indulged my dog in ways that I hoped. :-) Would definitely ask Brianna to care for my dog Rose again.
