1. Ashley S.

“Ashley was wonderful. She took great care of our Murphy, sent messages and pictures, and left great feedback. I would not hesitate to ask her to housesit again.”


2. Samantha P.

“Samantha was great. She was easy to work with and provided ongoing communication and photos during her 5 days of dogsitting/housesitting. She said that Archie is the most active dog she has ever taken care of. She took him on hikes and to parks to play frisbee or ball. Also, our home was spotless when we returned. We will definitely ask her to watch Archie again.”


3. Anny H.

“Anny is an incredible pet sitter. She sent videos and text daily letting me know how things were going. She even gave me advice on how to make food for appealing for Ella to eat since she is a picky eater.”


4. Ana C.

“As always, Ana provided excellent care for our kitties! We got regular photos and video updates, and she kept us feeling calm and assured while there was a fire going on a few miles away in the Oakland Hills by tracking it's progress. We'll continue to use her for all of our travel!”


5. Hilary C.
“If you're leaving town for a trip, having Hilary care for your pet is the only way to do it! For over 5 years, Hillary has watched our dog a handful of times. We feel completely at ease when Hillary is in charge! She is incredibly trustworthy and absolutely adores dogs. Hilary is a great communicator, extremely punctual, and leaves her home clean and in order. Not only is Hilary great with dogs, she's great with people. She's truly a joy to be around!”


6. William W.

“William is reliable, communicative and thoughtful/kind with our 2 dogs. We’re fortunate to have a sitter like him to regularly call/stay in our home when we travel. Thank you”


7. Irina B.


“Irina offered sweet and gentle care of my cat companion while I was away, and provided a calm, dependable presence in her life. She sent many gorgeous photos of my cat’s day and went above and beyond in offering flexibility due to multiple unexpected changes to my trip. I’m grateful to have found her and look forward to our next visit!”




8. Yena O.
“Yena is genuinely one of the most thoughtful, reliable people I know — and that carries through in how she cares for dogs. She’s calm, observant, and always pays attention to the little things, which makes a huge difference when you're leaving your pet with someone else. I’ve seen how quickly dogs feel comfortable around her — even the nervous or high-energy ones. She’s the kind of person who’ll send updates without you needing to ask and make sure your dog is getting exactly what they need (plus a few extra cuddles). If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with real care and intention, you won’t find better than Yena.”


9. Isaiah W.


“Again, Isaiah to the rescue! This was our second time having Isaiah hang out with Tuna - and Tuna LOVED their time together as always. Isaiah made sure to keep our pup happy, well walked, watered, and played - while sharing updates the entire time. We can't imagine leaving Tuna with anyone else at this point! WE LOVE ISAIAH!”


10. Angela A.

“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”


11. Brady S.

“Brady was awesome!! He stayed with my two dogs for 4 days and it couldn’t have gone smoother! I have a large 85 pound dog and a medium 40 pound dog. They are both high energy and can be a lot to handle. He was great with them and both of the dogs loved him. We also came home to a super clean apartment and he had washed the sheets for us! Would definitely use him again!”


12. Priscilla F.

“Priscilla recently house sat for us and was great! She took great care of my senior dog, was super responsive and left the house very clean. Definitely recommend her and hope to rebook in the future :)”


13. Precious E.
“Precious spent a summer taking care of my cat Shelby. She was wonderful and very responsible; she played with Shelby every day, fed her all the correct portions of food, and even managed to take her on walks (very difficult to do with a cat, but she did it!). I would easily recommend Precious for any role as a pet caretaker. She has the dedication and love for all animals and I can guarantee that the pets she cares for will have an amazing time.”


14. Huckleberry H.

“We were so pleased with Huckleberry's care of our twelve year old pittie, Rico. He was very kind, sensitive, and deeply attuned to Rico's needs. Rico bonded with him right away.He also was very timely and responsible, and asked if we had specific house rules that we wanted him to follow. We will definitely ask him to sit for Rico again.”


15. Kimmy D.

“Kimmy took great care of our 22 month old golden retriever and our house. Strong recommend. Thank you!”


16. LAURA S.

“Laura was great with our two dogs! She stayed at the house, provided regular updates and they seemed very happy. Our regular dog walker also said she was fantastic. 10/10 recommend!”


17. Marley M.

“Marley was great with our pups! She kept them on their schedule, clearly communicated with us about how everything was going and was quick to respond to any questions we had for her.”


18. Jessica Z.
“Jess is an AMAZING caregiver for all your pet-sitting needs. She took care of my cat Soledad for ~10 days at her apartment, as I went on a much-needed vacation. Like all folks leaving their pets for the first time, I felt very anxious and couldn't stop thinking about every possible thing that could go wrong. Jessica washed those fears away, sending me pictures of Soledad each day I was gone. From those pictures, I could see how happy and relaxed Soledad was with Jessica (and honestly, was probably disappointed in leaving after 10 days)! Jess prioritizes and respects your animals. And for fellow cat owners, Jess is MAGIC with cats - it's truly something to behold. 10/10 recommend!”


19. Mackenzie G.

“Mackenzie is really the best! She was so thoughtful with caring for our girls - and we felt totally at ease having her stay at our house while we were away for the weekend. 10/10 recommend!!”
