“Louisa and her daughter Samantha were absolutely fabulous pet sitters. We have a new puppy in our household, so we were looking for very specific care, and we could not have asked for a better solution. They sent consistent updates and photos from the time they were there until they left. Our apartment was spotless on our return and everything was put away to avoid any chewing or destruction from our good boy in training. We'd be so thrilled to have them back again in the future!”

“Julie went above and beyond for Cosmo. She is a great communicator and really seemed to enjoy taking care of my pup. She left our house in great condition and we would have her back in the future!”

“Katie is amazing!! We have 2 very energetic dogs and she made sure to take them on a good walk and play in the backyard multiple times to get their energy out! Our one dog even had some tummy issues and she made him chicken and rice 🥹 we trust Katie with our pups and will definitely utilize her again!”

“Stephany was a great house sitter! She was super friendly and respectful, and our dog got along with her great! She took him on lots of walks and we came home from our weekend away to a very happy pup. Will book her again!”

“Kaitlyn was fabulous at taking care of our house and our four dogs while we were away. Peace of mind is everything and she provided that and then some. Good communication and daily photos/videos were very much appreciated. She has our highest recommendation.”

“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life but have professionally done in the past 6 years! I love spending time around animals and I also stay hyper vigilant if there’s any issues going on! I am currently work remotely, so I'm looking for a way to get outside and make a new community of friends, and get some walk and play time in with a furry friend! Always more than happy to make time for your pet! I have a cat named Theo and he gets fed on a schedule three times a day, which seems to the perfect mix. I like to keep pets on a schedule and active so that they’re getting all the enrichment and care that they need! If there’s not a fenced in yard, I’m happy to go for a walk!
“This was Sabrina’s second time sitting for my cats, and they were just as happy and comfortable with her as the first time. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a way with animals. I’ll definitely keep her as my go-to sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Kaitlyn was great with the dogs right from the meet and greet. She handled their different personalities and medical needs perfectly. She did all that was asked and more. Thank you for allowing me the peace of mind to enjoy this week with friends!!”

“Erika was great. She is a delightful person who gleefully mixed with my two furry sweet beasts. When I returned home, everything was in fine shape and the dogs were very happy. I will surely contact her in the future when I travel.”

“Justine was so great with my pups! One of my dogs has special needs and the other is anxious and shy around new people, and Justine won them both over and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I plan on being a repeat customer!”

“Smooth meet-up & sitting experience, and great level of communication! She was reliable and trustworthy in taking care of our pups and the house. Would definitely work with you again and looking forward to it!”
“Annie took great care of our dog and guinea pig! She gave me frequent updates and was very attentive to our anxious dog’s needs. Thank you!!!”

“Brenda was amazing!!! She took great care of our house and our cats. Sent pictures and updates, and left the house cleaner than she found it. 😁 We needed last minute help, and she was so flexible and accommodating! I would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Christine is amazing!! Our dog Sasha was a euth list rescue and can be very timid and anxious around new people. She has some quirks because of her background and Christine was more than willing to come to meet her in advance to put our minds at ease. She clearly is very good with dogs and knows a lot about how to handle dogs that have difficult backgrounds! She won Sasha over right away. She sent many updates and pictures while we were away for 10 days, and Sasha loved her. She clearly had an amazing time and we didn’t worry at all that she was in great hands. Christine left the house tidy, watered our plants, brought in the mail, and most importantly took great care of our sweet girl!! We won’t hesitate to use her again for dog care in the future!”

“Wow! Yashu went above and beyond from the start of the booking inquiry every step of the way until I came home to extremely happy and well-loved dogs 🥰 She came for a meet and greet so our pups would have a smoother transition on the day of the sit. She is so friendly and kind - asked great clarifying questions - and got right down on our dogs’ level with reassuring sweet tones. Yashu did everything we asked and sent lots of reassuring photos and updates during the day. Consider yourselves extremely lucky to get Yashu as your sitter - she’s the BEST!”

“Sara was great with a last minute booking when my regular sitter had an emergency. I appreciated her willingness to look after Ollie on short notice. She was great with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
