Robert was a great sitter, to the point where I immediately booked him for another day when I need to be out of town. He doted on my dog, played with her, and made sure to keep me updated day-to-day. I felt very confident leaving Gemma with him.

I am incredibly grateful to Alexandria for watching my dog, Topi. She is not only kind and pleasant, but she genuinely cares for Topi’s well-being. Alexandria went above and beyond to ensure Topi was happy and comfortable. Her attentive and loving nature truly sets her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

She was so great at sending photos and updates without even asking. You can tell she tries to get to know the dog and really care for them. Highly recommend!

Lizzie is AMAZING! She took fantastic care of Baker and understood all of his quirks. She loved on him like he was her own pup. We highly recommend her and will rebook. :)

Josh was wonderful! Our dog can be wary of new people, but Josh took the time to get to know him and let Coqui warm up to him slowly. He was respectful of our property (left our house so clean), was highly responsive, and communicative. We will definitely hire Josh again!

Cassie was wonderful! We had no worries, as we were gone for 11 days. She stayed at our home, so it didn’t stress out our dog, Zoe. Cassie was very proactive with asking detailed questions about her and just genuinely concerned about all her needs. She even suggested coming over for some visits prior to our vacation, so Zoe could get use to her. Highly recommend!!?

Isabel is definitely a 5-star sitter. Sent pictures daily of our dog, followed all directions left for her. She went above and beyond caring for our dog who needed daily medication. Great communication. Sadie was somewhat shy at first but it didn’t take long to warm up to Isabel. Definitely recommend and will rebook her as needed.

About: In July 2025, my heart grew four paws bigger when I brought home Bella, my sweet Goldendoodle—and I’ve loved every second of raising, training, and adventuring with her. I grew up with cats and fostered over 10 through Underdog during college, helping them heal, grow confident, and find their forever homes (one of those special fosters even joined my parents’ family!). From vet appointments and administering medications to socialization, snuggles, and steady routines, I’ve been hands-on in every stage of their care. Today, with Bella and two adopted cats of my own, my home is full of love, structure, and happy tails. Your pets would be treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are to me. 💛🐶🐱 I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My schedule is structured but flexible, so I can build in walks, feeding routines, and enrichment without rushing. I’m also mostly around on weekends, making it easy to provide extra companionship and supervision. I keep my calendar updated every 1–2 days and sometimes have flexibility even on days that show as unavailable—please message me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pets would have reliable care, routine, and plenty of love all week long. 🐾💛 I care for pets in a safe, loving home environment designed with animals in mind. I live in a house with plenty of space, cozy dog and cat beds, and lots of toys to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. We have a huge backyard plus sidewalks throughout the neighborhood for daily walks—and I’m always happy to drive somewhere new for a fun adventure or a pup cup treat. For overnight boarding in my home, all dogs are safely crated at night to ensure a secure and restful environment for everyone. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet with you, your dog, and my animals ahead of time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about my services—I’m a very transparent person and want you to feel reassured that your baby is in good hands while you’re away. My home is fully animal-safe and pet-ready, as I’ve already created a structured, secure space for my three own furry family members. 🐾💛

Our little dog was sooo happy with Jennifer. I would give 10 stars if I could. She maintain great communication, was flexible, and tended to our little fur guy like it was her own pet. She was truthworthy to stay in our home for 2.5 days and very reliable. We will always try to book again with Jennifer!

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for cat and dogs of all ages. I’m comfortable giving medications and keeping your fur baby on their usual routine. You can also count on me for open, consistent communication, as I provide pictures during every stay. I work during the day, however I am flexible in the evenings and would be able to take care of your furry family member after 4:30pm Monday through Friday. My weekends are more flexible, and can be available throughout the day. Before taking care of your pet, I'd like to meet them so they don't see me as a stranger and so that everyone is comfortable. If walking your dog, I will make sure that they get both the physical and mental stimulation they need so that they are happy and tired! If I am taking care of your pet in your home, I love playing with dogs so I'd give them an activity or two to engage in (and of course lots of pets and attention!)

Joshua was great! Very responsive and sent pictures every day. My dog is incontinent, and when an accident occurred he made sure to inform me and he took care of the situation. He even received the approval of my cat, who tends to take awhile to warm up to new people.

Adaline is amazing!!! She spent a week at our house with our sweet dog Raven while we were on vacation. She even took on care of our two goldfish! We have never had anyone come stay at our house before so I was a bit nervous. Adaline immediately put my mind at ease. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog and home in her capable hands. She was wonderful with sending updates and pictures throughout the week. Our home was just as we left it (if not better) when we got home. I would highly recommend Adaline to anyone looking for a friendly, responsible, and dependable house/pet sitter!! We hope to have her stay with Raven in the future!

I can't say enough good things about Kirsten. My dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. But before we even met her, she was kind and communicative in our messages. She continued that trend when I was on my trip, with daily messages and pictures of my girls. She took excellent care of my dogs, both of whom take daily meds. They got daily walks and lots of snuggles. Plus - Kirsten helped me out at late notice when I was having a hard time finding a sitter. My house was clean and tidy when I returned too! She's awesome, and I highly recommend her.

Payton was the dream pet sitter! She was extremely communicative, easy to work with, professional, attentive, and took amazing care of our pets. It's easy to be nervous when inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your pets, but Payton was so approachable and easy to work with from the beginning. We got photos every single day, as well as regular text updates. She even did some chores around the house such as taking our garbage bins in and some general tidying! Our pets loved her and were very well cared for.

Lynelle was fantastic house sitting our dog Maeve! She sent us some glamour shot pictures of her doing puzzles and on a walk, showing that she was doing okay in the process. She gave timely updates and made sure we were in the loop on everything that happened during the day. Maeve took to Lynelle extremely well, we’d be happy to repeat again!
