“Iris is wonderful! She took excellent care of our three high-energy and affectionate standard poodles, staying in our home when we were out of town for 5 days. She sent us regular text and photo updates, and she managed to get them to sit still long enough for cute photos. She is very caring, and she understands that each dog has their own personality and requires a different approach. We felt completely comfortable having her watch our dog children in our home, and we whole-heartedly recommend Iris to anyone who wants a caring, conscientious, and skilled dog sitter! Thank you for caring for our doggies and giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation!”
“Eva did great with our three dogs over an extended (6 night) stay of house sitting. They all have their goofy quirks, so we appreciated her spending the time with them to keep them all happy and healthy. We came back to three very excited and well cared for pups. Would highly recommend.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog, Lucy. Our house was spotless and she made us feel super comfortable in leaving Lucy. She provided pictures and updates. We came home and while our dog was happy to see us, she also had a calmness to her that made us know she was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you, Julia!”
“Felicia is awesome! She took such good care of our pups, sent pictures, left the house tidy and even threw laundry in the wash!! She was so kind, flexible and understanding. Definitely recommend her to care for your fur babes!!”
“This is our first time having Nicole take care of our dog, Nash. Nicole was great throughout her visit. She spent time understanding our expectations and if she had any questions she would ask. She kept us updated and sent pictures during our time away. We will definitely use Nicole again.”
“Caitlyn did an amazing job staying with our dogs while we were on vacation for a week. She had great communication and sent us pictures throughout the week. It was nice to know our dogs were being spoiled and we'll cared for. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We didn't know Julie beforehand except for doing a brief meet-and-greet, but she stayed at our house with our small dog for a long weekend when we were traveling, and did a great job. I always worry about my little pup who is very shy and attached to my wife and me, and has a hard time warming up to other people. She was shy and probably confused at first, since this was only the second time we left her for the weekend, but she clearly warmed up to Julie after the first day. Julie was great about promptly responding to our messages asking how things were going, and sending pictures and videos. She kept our house very clean and even took out the trash and washed our bedding before we got home. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Tatiana took great care of our Golden Retriever Max while we were away on vacation. She was great about sending updates and pictures. We could see how happy our dog was. She brought her dog Barbossa (we said that was ok) and our dog Max had fun with having a playmate for the week. We recommend Tatiana to watch your dog. She is wonderful. She cared about making sure he was well taken care of which made us relax on vacation.”
“Jacqueline was awesome, this was the first time we've used a house sitter and our one dog Cejas is very shy and I'm always worried about her but I didn't worry at all this trip. We got lots of updates that let us know all was going well and she even took them to their favorite dog park. We will definitely book Jacqueline again in the future!”
“Josie always does an amazing job house sitting for us and really saved us this time by extending her stay when our flights home were cancelled and we got stuck an extra night. She jumped right into help and came back late in the day too to make sure the dogs were taken care of before we got home at night.”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny. My dog tends to have behaviors and Catarina did such an amazing job communicating with me and giving me helpful tips! Thank you so much for treating Penny like she was your own!”
“Rachel took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were traveling! I never had to worry or ask about anything, because she was so proactive and great at communicating and sending pictures of all three animals. We came home to relaxed pets and a clean house. We would absolutely book with Rachel again any time!”
“Kelsi was awesome! She did a great job taking care of our pups while we left for 4 days. Shared many great pictures throughout our trip and it looks like everyone had a lot of fun! The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Thank you Kelsi!”

Yet another amazing house sitting! Alyssa always sends pictures 2 to 3 times a day, including video so I can see how my girl is doing. She is always having fun and happy in every photo. She even does the laundry she uses during her stay, and keeps the house amazingly clean and just as it was when she arrived! I will definitely continue to use her as a sitter. Luna says she gives her a five-star review and would give her 10 if it was possible!
We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Angie! When our first sitter suddenly stopped responding, we were in a panic about our upcoming trip. Angie stepped in at the last minute and completely saved the day. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and reassuring. She took the time to understand our pets’ routines and needs, and we felt comfortable leaving them in her care right away. While we were gone, she sent us updates that put our minds at ease, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy house. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and caring, especially on short notice. We will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Kate took great care of our 2 dogs, one of them is very anxious natured and also needs medicine for her health condition. She took great initiative from the first meet and greet to ask questions and handle them independently by interacting with them. She reviewed the instructions carefully and asked for options just in case. We were pleasantly surprised that she was able to give medication in a timely manner. Kate was also quick in responding. We would absolutely hire her again!!
Rachel did a wonderful job looking after our 2 Huskies while we were out of town. There was never a worry and she gave us daily pictures and small updates as to how things were going and what our dogs were up to. Our pups were very happy and fulfilled when we got back. She also was great about making sure our senior dog received her medication daily. Our house was also left in fantastic condition, making returning home very comfortable. Would certainly book Rachel again, thank you!
Oliver did a great job taking care of our two dogs and our cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. They were all relaxed and happy when we returned home. Our old Pom has complex medical needs and Oliver managed them with ease. He even shoveled our driveway after it snowed! We look forward to having Oliver stay with our critters again and would recommend him highly.
Rachel is wonderful! We've always traditionally always boarded our dog in a sitters home, but after a recent less-than-great experience, we thought our dog would do better staying at home where she's comfortable and can stick to her routine. Rachel has such a wealth of experience with both dog and house sitting we were confident after the meet and greet that things would go well, and we weren't disappointed. She provided lots of great updates about their time together; lots of pictures and videos where we could see that Julep was very content with her new friend. She left our home, clean and the way she found it, you wouldn't have even known anyone was here. We would be happy to have her stay here next time we are out of town.
Tessa took excellent care of Craig while we were away! She was friendly, responsive, and sent regular updates with photos. I could tell that Craig was relaxed and happy to be in his favorite spots around the house. She also left the house spotless when we returned. We will definitely book with Tessa the next time we need care for Craig!
Bianey is a great sitter. She helped us out last minute when our other sitter canceled last minute. She was wonderful to come and stay at our house with our dog. We came home to a picked up house and a happy dog!! I will definitely contact Bianey again when we need a house sitter/dog sitter.
First time using Bill's service. He knew how to come over for the first time and make friends with my dog Maya, who as a rescue is wary of strangers. He's affable and relaxed, and took care of my Shih Tsu mix Maya for almost two weeks and kept her happy so yes I'm happy.
Wow... Chris is an outstanding dog sitter. He came over to meet Waylon prior to agreeing to watch him. He stayed at our house and was with Waylon 100% of the time. While we were gone he walked Waylon twice a day, sent videos and pictures while we were gone. Come home to a very tired pup! We will use Chris again for all of our dog sitting needs.
We are absolutely thrilled with the care our two Newfoundlands have received from Jolie. From the moment we met, it was clear that Jolie has a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of how to look after them, especially a breed as big and unique as Newfoundlands! Throughout our time away, we received regular updates with photos that showcased how comfortable and happy our dogs were in Jolie’s care. Our Newfies, instantly warmed up to Jolie, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals and create a sense of trust. Jolie was incredibly attentive to their needs, from ensuring they were given the attention they need daily. We also appreciate how Jolie maintained their usual routine, which is crucial for these large, gentle giants. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—Jolie went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy, healthy, and content. It’s a relief to know that they’re in such capable and loving hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you so much, Jolie! We’re already looking forward to having you care for our Newfies again!
