“Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!”


“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”


“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”


“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”


“Melanie was an absolute life saver, our previous sitter canceled last minute and she stepped up and was above and beyond what me and my wife expected. It was our first time hiring a sitter for our puppy but we will absolutely go back to Melanie again. She’s the best”


“Cittlali was great with my dog. Betta is very shy and reserved but she opened up to her. They went out together and I am impressed that they became friends in just two days. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and it gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”

“I had a great experience with Caitlin. She was prompt to all of our scheduled meetings in the run up to the actual house sit. During the house sit itself she was great with communication and provided pictures of my dog while I was away. Overall a very responsible and professional house/pet sitter who I will use again.”


About: Throughout my lifetime, I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I have skills in giving a lot of love to your dog and love long walks as well. I always prioritize the safety and cleanliness of your dog because I believe these practices are what promote your furry friend's physical and mental health! I'm unemployed at the moment and have most free time to play with your dog! If you choose to board with me, I will walk your dog for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. After walking, I will feed your dog and play with them. If you choose me to walk your dog, I will walk your dog with the amount of time you desire. I have a fenced yard so your dog can play in my backyard. I will also put on the leash before opening the door for walks. I also have a cute Shih-Tzu Poodle mix dog that is well behaved and loves other dogs.She understands boundaries and will give your dog space. She's very calm and super friendly! For house-sitting or drop-ins, I will be respectful of your home and will always clean after myself and the pets! Please let me know if there are any requirements that need to be met when you're gone, such as no pets on the couch, no treats at a certain time, etc! Pictures, and videos will be sent every couple hours and FaceTime calls can be as frequent as you want! Whatever it takes, my priority are the dog's safety and well being and to make sure you are at peace of mind!

“Brian house sat our senior German shepherd Addie and four chickens in our home for 3 days. Brian is organized and did everything we asked. He provided regular updates. Addie was happy with his care. Thanks Brian!”


“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”


About: I have 12 yrs of experience in taking care care of dogs. I can do basic grooming. My mom and I put our effort in helping street dogs since 2016 and had saved more than 80 dogs. So I am good at getting along with all different dogs. Also, based on my experience, I can deal with different kinds of minor health issues and emergency situation. I currently work from home as a UIUX designer so I have a very flexible schedule. So basically I’m free 24/7 and am able to rearrange my time to fit with your schedule. I respect all fur friends and their parents’ places. I strictly follow their rules and requests. Also, I am good at cleaning and pet grooming if you need.

“We had a great experience with Vivien, who stayed in our home for nine days to care for our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to confidently administer insulin to our diabetic cat, which was a huge relief. Vivien was responsible, respectful of our space, and gave all of our pets plenty of attention and care. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”


About: I’ve been a vet tech for 8 years, I have training in administering medications if needed. always been my dream job. I love working with animals I currently work four 10 hour shifts weekly and a mom, I can do drop ins after 7pm on weekdays. Weekends are a little more flexible I live in an apartment complex which is gated but can take your pet to dog parks, long walks/runs. If they love children I have two they can play with.

About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he’s turning 6 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

“She was wonderful with my dog, kept me updated the entire time with pictures and how my dog was doing. Once I was back, I saw my dog happy showing he had a good time with her. I had booked house sitting, and she was very respectful to my place and kept it clean.”


“We were so pleased with Crystal. Our two fur babies loved her. She did a great job in keeping us informed with photos through out the day. She followed , their schedule for eating, sleeping and taking them outdoors to enjoy the sun. I recommend her highly You will not be disappointed. She did a GREAT job!!”


About: I had a family dog for 14 years and gave it all the love during its time with our family. The last five years my dog developed glaucoma and had a strict medicine routine that I had to follow to help with this issue. After that, I was a baby sitter for 3 years and also walked the family dog in the evenings. Since then, I have helped look over my friend’s/roomates dogs while they have been away. I have also been a cat sitter for my friend’s cats. I believe all furry friends deserve love and care, especially when they are away from their owners! At the moment, I am available evenings throughout the week, and I am very flexible on weekends. My schedule may change in mid August as I will return to school. I am great at following instructions and if needed, I will follow up for any clarification on questions. I aim to follow the furry friend’s routine, give them play time, and/or any desired care needed.

About: I have owned dogs, I am a dog owner, breeder and former doggy daycare employee. I have had experience caring for dogs who belonged to other people. I am retired and I don't work, so I have plenty of time to take quality care of your dog. I require contact and yourvet information in case of emergency. I have plenty of time to allow me to provide quality play time with your dog. I can play in the yard with them and in the house.

“Uyen was awesome and took great care of 3 of my dogs. She followed the instructions without any issue and this is my first time with Uyen and I am glad that I now can use her services in the future. I was out of country for 8-9 nights and she stayed at my place for house sitting and also kept the house very clean like her own house. I am very glad I found her and highly recommend her for taking care of your dog(s). I have three large dogs starting with a Lab,Husky and Newfoundland.”

Vincent & Hsiao Chi C.
“I am delighted to recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. As a devoted dog owner himself, Vincent treats every dog with the same love, care, and attention he gives to his own Shiba Inu, Freddy. He has a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensures they get plenty of exercise, and prioritizes their well-being. Vincent is responsible, attentive, and truly enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, taking them on regular walks, or simply providing companionship, he goes above and beyond to make sure each dog feels safe and happy. With his flexible schedule and dedication to pet care, I have no doubt that any dog under his watch will be in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter, I highly recommend Vincent. He will treat your dog like family!”

I always feel at ease knowing that Olí is in good hands with Elisa.”


Jennifer B.
“Hello, sometime in February 2021 when I was looking and seeking help to take care of my pet DJ while I am away for work. First, I tried Facebook if someone will get DJ but just didn’t get lucky after talking to a couple of persons till one day, one of my co-worker mentioned NEXTDOOR another social media platform. It was a blessing when someone named Jennifer Bullock called me up and saying she read my testimony about DJ. She even said she was really touched by my story. Story short, that was beginning of our friendship. She started taking care of DJ without any condions. She put her time, love for DJ as if her own son. Jennifer always have a heart for pets and that is what she loves to do the most of her life. Of course it’s not always happy times when caring for a pet, there’s also sad times. One day, DJ started to get sick and we have to bring to the pet hospital and that was very first time I saw a very sad and devastated Jennifer. She was so worried about his condition. Dj got worsen and it was sometime in September 2023 when our hearts got broken and was hard for to accept that we have to part ways with our favorite pet. To this day, we still been missing DJ so much coz he was so adorable to be with. I am hoping that this testimony helps…. Sincerely, Orlando”
