“Meaghan spent the day with our two dogs and she was so kind and responsive. Sent pictures and kept us updated, even helped with a little accident. Would definitely rebook!”


“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”


“Wen was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and sent us many updates with photos. We could tell our cat and dog had a good time and were well taken care of. Thank you, Wen!”


“Vanessa house sat for our dog and did a wonderful job. She was attentive to detail to ensure he had all of his usual comforts. She was flexible and able to accommodate our schedule when it changed, and she provided us with regular updates throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“Emily was amazing with our dog Teddy! Her communication was great from the start and she was punctual and kind. She sent multiple photos and quickly put our minds at ease. We are so happy we have found a trustworthy sitter in the neighborhood and can’t wait to have her watch him again!”


“Sevtap is an amazing dog sitter! We found out an hour before leaving on a trip that our pup needed to be put on a rigid medication schedule and go under puppy quarantine. She was a star and handled everything so well! We came back to a very happy puppy. Would highly recommend Sevtap to anyone on this platform”


“We immediately felt comfortable with Alexa being in our home and were confident she would take great care of the pets, which she did! Sammy loved her the second she walked through the door. This was the first time in the 7 years of owning pets together have we had anyone but family take care of them, and are so thrilled that we finally found Rover, and Alexa. We now can plan more summer trips knowing the fur babies and the house will be in great hands! 100% recommend!”


“Megan was very quick to respond to any questions or requests, kept us updated on our little buddy's wellbeing and seem to have taken a very good care of him :) thank you Megan!”


“So happy I booked with Carla. She petsit for my 2 dogs in my home over the weekend and did a wonderful job. She arrived perfectly on time and came prepared with great questions about how to best take care of them. She sent many photo updates which set us at ease, and she was observant and let us know of a potential ear infection brewing in one of our pups. I could tell my dogs were very comfortable with her. She also left the house in great condition. We would definitely use her again!”


“Sabrina does an absolutely excellent job!! She did a great job with my two, somewhat reactive, dogs. Since they are also high energy, she kept their brains entertained throughout the day with amazing enrichment games/treats. She is communicative and did a wonderful job sending pictures and updating me with how my pups are doing. I feel so at ease knowing Sabrina is watching my two.”


“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”


“I am so grateful for Elise's patience and understanding given the particular challenges Pedrito has. My dog can be very reactive and territorial and has a hard time with new people. We arranged to meet before she I went away and it was clear her demeanor (so calm, and patient and kind) is a perfect match for my little nugget. I very much recommend Elise for dog sitting. She was prepared and asked about any medications, or special needs Pedrito may have. Luckily he does not, but it's clear she was on top of his schedule and made sure he got his carrots and greenies like normal when I'm here. Having a reactive dog can be tough, and I do my best to set him up for success. Thanks Elise for bearing with all the detailed instructions and the one time he growled at you for daring to enter the apartment! He was so happy when I returned and I'm so glad we found Elise on here!”


“Cristina has been amazing watching our pup this weekend. She is amazing with dogs, and has kept us informed throughout each day. She has also been very flexible and accommodating with our timing! Would definitely book again!”


“Paul has been an amazing sitter for our anxious dog, Ernie. He has been very flexible with our ever-changing travel plans and has been great at communicating throughout his stay.”


“Lauren was amazing. She kept me updated and send me pictures and videos. Took her on daily walks. Bailee was a very happy pup and I will definitely book with her again.”


“Shane watched our elderly English Bulldog for two weeks and was great. He was very responsive and made sure our dog had everything she needed. I would highly recommend Shane if you’re looking for someone to watch you dog.”


“Anna was excellent in all aspects! She demonstrated professionalism and organization in her communications with us. When we met her in person she was so friendly and caring with our cavapoo Charlie. During her house sitting stay with Charlie she was amazing-we received updates and pictures though out the stay that gave me comfort and happiness knowing he was clearly happy and enjoying having Anna with him. We highly recommend Anna!!”


“Arshneel was outstanding! She took great care of Charlie and Yuba while keeping us informed the whole time. She was also super helpful and flexible when we had issues with our flights coming back home, could not be more grateful that she was able to help us, and will absolutely contact her again.”
