1. CJ T.
“C.J. stayed with our 14-year-old dog Natalie while we went the the SF Giants game. We don't go out often, especially at night when she has some anxiety. C.J. took great care of her, feeding her dinner, giving treats, medication, and a fun outing to our neighborhood park. We had a wonderful time at the baseball game, and were able to relax knowing Natalie was with C.J. Thanks, C.J., we appreciate you!”
2. Melissa G.
“I've known Melissa my whole life and I can say with absolute confidence that she can and will be a great pet caregiver. She's had experience with both dogs and cats and she's always done a great job. For 10+ years we would take care of a family friend's dog, Figo, when they went on vacation and Melissa always made sure to follow the routines they gave her. He was shown so much love and care that we were basically his second family, and a big part of that was Melissa's hard work in caring for him. I 100% recommend Melissa and know she will show as much care to any pet as she did to Figo.”
3. Stephen G.
“Stephen really came through when my sitter had to cancel last minute. His detailed approach to pet care really put me at ease that Baeley would be in great hands while I was out of town. He did a great job following my instructions and communicating while I was away. Confidently recommend and will be seeking his services in the future.”
4. Loren D.
“Loren is a great communicator and sent us great pics/videos of our cats throughout the day, which is always comforting when you’re away on vacation!”
5. Garrett L.
“Garrett was the absolute best! He was on time, friendly, kept me updated and my dogs had a blast. 10/10 will definitely be using Garrett again”
6. Amara G.
“Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann”
7. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!”
8. Anjyla A.
“Anjyla has dog sat for me countless times. She has stayed at my home, made sure she walked my elderly dog multiple times a day, she played with her, cuddled her, fed her etc. We recently got a puppy and she is amazing with her as well, wonderful at tiring her out, keeping her engaged and also taking her on walks. Anjyla is a gem, she is trustworthy, reliable and my dogs absolutely adore her (they may even be sad to see us return and her leave!)”
9. Evelyn A.
“Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!”
10. Laura A.
“Laura was a great help! She was able to work from our house and watch our puppy during the day so we didn’t have to crate her or worry about her getting into trouble. We would book her again ??”
11. Victoria S.
“I am always so glad to have Vicky to take care of my cat and know she will be in reliable hands. Vicky has looked after her for several trips over the years, the longest of which was one month. She paid careful attention to my requests about feeding schedule. She was also quite in tune with how my cat was doing, and my normally grumpy cat became affectionate with her too. Vicky kept me posted with photos and let me know what my cat had been up to. I came home to a happy cat!”
12. lisa r.
“"I am thoroughly pleased with the exceptional service provided by Lisa, who has consistently demonstrated a genuine affection for dogs. Her patience, kindness, and warm demeanor have been particularly notable, as she has always maintained a positive attitude and treated canine companions with respect and courtesy. Her friendly and polite manner has made interactions with her a pleasure, and I am grateful for her dedication to providing top-notch service."”
13. Leilani L.
“Leilani was punctual, sweet, honest and caring. Will book her again to care for her kitties!”
14. Austin S.
“Austin was incredible, I highly recommend using Austin for house/dog sitting! He kept us up to date with pictures and texts throughout his stay. He clearly loves dogs and understands how to care for them. He is extremely capable and goes above and beyond to make sure he is doing all he can for your pets and your house. He made us feel 100% comfortable leaving our three dogs for a week. You can't go wrong with Austin!”
15. Alexis I.
“We had Alexis housesit and pet sit for our two cats and dog. We were pleased with her interaction with our dog, taking him for walks and sending pictures. She was spot on on her assessment of our female cat, noting that she ruled the house. The biggest surprise was that she was able to get our very feral kitty inside. Quite the feat. When we arrived home, the house was as we left it. She kept everything nice and tidy. It is nice to now have a person we can count on for our future travels!”
16. Joanna V.
“Joanna is an excellent pet caregiver! She has taken care of my dog many times, and my dog is always happy with her around. Joanna is very responsible; she took my dog, River, on many hikes and showered River with affection (and treats) when I'm out of town. I always trust her to take care of my dog. She also is a great house-sitter (kept my tomatoes alive for me), and easy to communicate with.”
17. Micaela C.
“I had an emergency and Micaela was very responsive. She took great care of my babies. She’s so friendly and I look forward to her taking care of them again. They loved her.”
18. Nicole B.
“Nicole took care of my dog and cat while I was on vacation, she always stayed with them and followed all our directions, she was tidy and respectful of our home, we would definitely recommend her and would work with her again.”
19. Ciara P.
“Ciara was awesome! She took our dog on a couple walks and watched him at our house while we were on vacation. She took great care of him and we really appreciated her daily updates with pictures of our happy pup. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
20. Jorge S.
“I've known Jorge for many years and he has always been a compassionate and dedicated dog caregiver. Since childhood, he's had a natural talent for understanding and attending to the needs of all kinds of dogs. His gentle demeanor and consistent care have made him my go-to person for dog sitting. I trust him implicitly with my furry friend and highly recommend him to any pet owner seeking peace of mind and the best care for their dog.”
