Guillermo was excellent! He sat for our senior dog, Cooper, at our place for 4 days and it was a great experience. He was communicative and responsive, he left the house cleaner than when we left, and more importantly he took great care of Cooper!! We would highly recommend.

Sam was wonderful with my shy, anxious pup. Sam took it slow and Fern really warmed up to her. I got a very detailed report from Sam at the end of the weekend. I came home to a happy pup & a spotless home.

Natalie is fantastic! Her calendar is up-to-date, and she responds quickly. She's has an easy-going comfortable way around dogs that will make you comfortable leaving your dog with her. Our dog tends to be people shy and she loved Natalie right away.

Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)

About: I grew up with cats and have lived with animals my whole life (cats, fish, hamsters, dogs). I have provided petsitting for cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have petsit across ages, temperaments, sizes, medical needs, and energy levels. From a senior deerhound, to two young whippets, to cats with specialized diets and medication administration. I'm a remote office worker with a flexible schedule who is looking to stay active and save for my first home. I love going for walks, rain or shine! And there's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a furry friend. I work remotely and can be with your furry family all day and provide them with as much supervision and enrichment/exercise as they need to ensure they have fulfilling and safe days. I am certified by the Red Cross in Pet First Aid.

Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands.

About: I got my Labrador retriever when I was 12, and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I will go out of my way to be around dogs - they really are a human’s best friend and such a life-changing companion — being around them has always felt natural and meaningful to me. I work fully remote, so I’m home a lot and have a flexible schedule. That makes it easy for me to give dogs plenty of attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog sitting any day of the week, and usually on weekends too unless noted otherwise. Your dog’s safety and comfort are really important to me. Since our apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m always happy to come to your place so your dog can stay in their own familiar space and feel comfortable and relaxed.

Maddy is professional, trustworthy and responsive. And most importantly my dogs love her! She can be counted on to follow through, even with the most nuanced instructions. One of my dogs tends to hide and create a challenge for someone to walk her— with Maddy there is no hiding and she happily interacts. I’ve relied on Maddy for three different stays and each time I had peace of mind that everyone and everything was cared for just as I requested. Appreciate the energy and passion she puts into the job!

Traci was super responsive and willing to accommodate our very last minute over night request with our young puppy who, while adorable, is a handful at this age! She was super helpful not only providing the care we needed, but also offering some helpful recommendations for his schedule, toys, etc after spending a night with him which were super valuable to us as new puppy parents. We’d hire Traci again in a heartbeat!

Levi was AMAZING! We were so lucky she had availability when we booked last minute. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and their behaviors while being very patient and understanding with our nervous rescue. She sent many pictures to keep us at ease while we were away and left the house cleaner than when we left! Chanel typically doesn’t clique with new people but she was so happy with Levi, we are so appreciative!

I’m afraid to leave this review because Sasha may have less availability in the future, not that I’m so influential…lol. However, I must say that my dogs, who have separation anxiety, took to Sasha like no other dog sitter we have had! The communication and engagement throughout her stay was excellent. We got pictures and feedback while she was with the dogs and she answered all our messages very quickly. I could tell by the pictures that our girls were very comfortable and happy and that means the world to us. Perhaps these empty nesters will actually get to go away for a weekend in the near future! Sasha welcomed my list of instructions and followed through and left our dogs and our home in great shape. I couldn’t be happier!
