1. Evgeniya P.
“We met a week prior to the sit. Eygeniya arrived on time, seemed very competent and compassionate and I looked forward to her sitting for the crew. Unfortunately , there was torrential rains and she was felt that she would be unable to get out of her neighborhood to get to my house to housesit . Subways were flooded. So, the plans and her sitting were cancelled. I hope we can work out another sitting time for an overnight.”

7. James D.
“Been looking for someone to take care of Mowgli when we are away from home for long trips. I think with James--we’ve found that someone. I could tell right away that James really enjoys the time he spends with pooches. He is thorough, punctual, caring, and kept me posted with constant updates. When we came home after a long day in New Jersey, we were happy to find Mowgli in a very relaxed, jovial mood. If you are someone like me who has never left your dog at home when you are going abroad, trust and reliability is what you are looking for. With James you’ll definitely have that! ✨”

10. Julia D Y.
“I am so happy we found Julia to watch our cat Figment with a mix of drop-in visits and house stays. We received regular updates and a few videos of Julia and Fig that literally made me laugh out loud, so I knew our cat was having a great time. Throughout the booking, Julia provided clear communication and made sure in advance to notify me if we needed to make any adjustments to the schedule. She followed all the instructions and left our place, and most importantly our cat, in perfect condition!”

“James is a very good pet owner and would be great at caring for other pets. He currently has two cats who he cares for very much and has created a great environment for them. James also grew up with a dog, which was cared for to the same extent. He also has watched others animals and been responsible and caring for other's pets as he does his own. There is no doubt that he would be a loving and responsible pet sitter.”

Julian Lopez”
17. Hannah S.
About: I have always been an animal lover and grew up surrounded by pets of all kinds! Dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons, hamsters, etc. I have always been the "pet-sitter" for friends and family, and through that I have gained experience caring for all kinds of animals. From pets that need medication or special attention, senior animals, and puppies and kittens, I have experience with all of them :) If you have any questions or want to learn more about me, feel free to reach out or ask questions! I just recently moved here and I've always wanted a job that cares for animals, so this is my job right now. This means my schedule is pretty free and I am available really anytime you need pet care! I am very good at following instructions and will ask questions if needed. I will make sure your pet feels loved and safe, whether it's for a drop in or going for a walk. I also love sending pictures, so I will take a lot of cute pictures of your pet to show that they are well cared for!

“We had Yuan and her partner house sit our dog and cat for over 2 weeks and they were great! They were very responsive and our pets loved them - we felt our pets were in really good hands. Definitely recommend!”
19. Sydni S.
“Sydni was a wonderful sitter to our puppy! It was the first time we had left her alone, and felt instantly comfortable when we met Sydni. Would recommend her for any pet needs!”
20. Sam D.
“Sam did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. From the time Sam arrived for our meet and greet, I immediately felt at ease and confident that our dog (and our home) was in good hands. We weren’t let down. When we arrived home, our apartment was as neat as a pin, and our dog was as fat and happy as ever. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Thanks, Sam!”
