Helen watch after my dog Nadia for a weekend away and it went great! This was my first time using an in home pet sitter so I was not sure what to expect! She kept me updated on how things were going with pictures, which helped ease any anxiety I may have had! And was the perfect house guest leaving the house in better shape than I left it in! Will definitely be using Helen for future needs if she is available!

Anna took wonderful care of our senior dog while we were out of town. This is the second or third time we have used her. She's always on time and very responsive. I highly recommend her!

Wesley was an amazing dog sitter. When I got home from my trip, Sadie was relaxed, the house was tidy and even my plants were happy! Wesley sent pictures and videos of Sadie which I appreciated. There was also a puppy report and a card waiting to inform me of the happenings of the stay. I could not recommend Wesley enough.

We hit the jackpot with Abigail as our house and dog sitter! She stayed at our home for 5 nights and handled our 3 quirky small dogs like an absolute pro, including our clingy puppy who wouldn’t let Abigail out of her sight! Since our dogs are used to someone working from home, having Abigail there with them was a total game changer. She kept us updated often, communicated about any issues that popped up, and sent the sweetest photos that made us smile (and relax!). This was our first time booking Abigail and we felt comfortable with her immediately upon meeting her just a few days prior to our trip. We came home to a happy house and 3 very well-loved dogs. Truly could not have asked for better care. We’d book her again in a heartbeat!

This was our first time with Rover, and I could not have asked for a better sitter for our dogs and house. Rochelle made a real and true bond with our two dogs. She made a personal connection with our pups. I want to emphasize that she really cared. Rochelle sent us daily pictures and videos that brought so many smiles to our faces while we were away. Her care took away our separation anxieties. This allowed to relax and enjoy our trip rather worry about how things were at home. If I could give Rochelle more than 5 stars, I would do that.

Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!

Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!

Noah was absolutely amazing! Both our pets took to him immediately at the meet-and-greet. He was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Our pets were obviously enjoying themselves and were well cared for. He also left our house immaculate and took the extra step to even bring in the mail! We cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely be using him again!

Vanessa took great care of our four pets! She stuck exactly to their usual schedule, even though that meant waking up very early every morning to feed them breakfast. She was communicative and provided regular updates. Vanessa took good care of the house too, leaving it as tidy as she found it. Would definitely book with her again!
