1. Yaisa G.

“Yaisa was so helpful and wonderful! She kept sending updates about Mowgli throughout the day. I was at a work conference and it gave me so much peace of mind every time she would send an update about Mowgli and a picture of him! She even left a Polaroid of him on my counter! Thank you so much Yaisa!”


2. Caroline G.

“Caroline watched our very energetic mini-Bernedoodle for three days. She eased my nerves by staying in communication with me on how Zia was doing, including a photo / video journal of Zia’s walks and adventures. She also was very respectful of our space and we came home to an incredibly happy pup. I would highly recommend Caroline as an in-home pet sitter. Thank you, Caroline!”


3. Mahlet B.

“Mahlet is everything you could ask for in a cat sitter and more. She communicated with us regularly, including lots of photos of our cat throughout the day. In fact, our cat was clearly enjoying his time with Mahlet so much that we think he misses her. When one of his toys broke, Mahlet replaced it with multiple new toys. As a bonus, Mahlet was generous enough to bring two packages upstairs and left our apartment spotless. We recommend Mahlet 100%!”


4. Adolfo A.


“Adolfo was absolutely fantastic with Archie and Raven! From the moment I met him, I could tell he genuinely cared about their well-being. Throughout their stay, he kept me updated with adorable photos and little anecdotes about their antics. It was clear they were not just pets to him, but part of his extended furry family. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in his capable hands.”

9. Enmanuel P.

“Manny did a great job taking care of our dog for a week at our place. He was on-time, responsive, sent pictures while we were away, and left our apt clean and organized. He took our high-energy dog out for walks and on some local adventures, which he loved! It was our first time hiring him and we would be happy to do so again!”


10. Aaron G.

“I've been a bit overwhelmed with our new 11 week old pup and Aaron was a huge help house sitting with him for the morning so I could get some work done. He arrived early, played with him, and got him to poop and pee outside several times with no accidents inside! And then sent some nice pics afterward of the little guy having fun.”


11. Nataly A.

15. Anna K.

“Thank you Anna for taking such good care of my girls! Baxter is so cute, I know Eleanor really enjoyed another dog to play with.”


16. Paula K.

“Look no further when considering a catsitter - Paula is perfect! Paula watched my cat Biscuit overnight and I couldn't imagine a more perfect, professional and peaceful experience. From the moment I first reached out until the end moment when she left my apartment with feedback online, I have found her to be the absolute perfect catsitter and overall fantastic human! Caring and loving, experienced (past pet owner AND shelter volunteer!), kind, easygoing, flexible, respectful, trustworthy, discreet, responsive, funny, communicative... my list of superlatives is very long! My cat also has given her the "two thumb paws up" - I can tell because she came out of hiding to interact and play with Paula pretty quickly, and her "happy tail" in the photos Paula sent said it all. Paula, you're a human angel for us both and we definitely hope to call upon you again the next time Biscuit needs a companion. THANK YOU”


17. Anna M.

“Anna was great! She got cheerio some awesome bones and a collar to help him walk on a leash. He loved his time with her and she did an amazing job caring for him and the apartment!!”


18. Anesiya R.

“So easy! Anesiya has babysat my dog Ruby a few times and it’s such an easy time when she comes. She takes Ruby out a few times in for a good long walks. Plays with her and is very communicative. She is someone I will constantly book when needed.”


19. TJ L.

“TJ is always in communication, right on time and does well with our high energy dog! I really appreciate how he keeps us up to date with messages and really enjoys spending time with our dog. We trust him 100% and recommend him without any hesitation!!”


20. David B J.
“David cared for my Aimee all through his time in HS and college. She was a standard poodle and David loved her. He would take her for long walks and feed her and spend time with her. I never felt bad going away when I knew David would be caring for her. Her would walk her if I had plans after work and couldn't get home or when I traveled. He was completely reliable. He always showed up on time. I would highly recommended him as a dog walker and sitter. He is a honest and responsible young man. ”
