1. Angelina T.
“Angelina was new to house sitting for our 2 large and highly energetic dogs - and she did fantastic! She was highly engaged with the dogs and keeping us informed. We received lots of picture updates and good communication. We have already rebooked her and would recommend to others!”
2. Amy A.
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
3. Devon E.
“Devon was a godsend when we had to find a dog/house sitter for Ziggy’s first weekend at home without Mom and Dad. Ziggy is a handful and Devon took all of his energy, quirks, and needs in stride and with a smile. I got regular updates (including adorable pictures) to keep me from stressing out and wondering how they were getting along. Our apartment was left spotless. Can’t wait to book with Devon again!”
4. Ginny R.
“Ginny was an amazing sitter for my cranky elderly Dachshund! She even got her to take her meds without spitting out the pill and eating only the pill pocket :). We look forward to having her sit for Edie again.”
5. Mary B.
“Mary did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and apartment while we were out of town! She was very communicative and stayed on top of the details. Our two dogs clearly bonded with her. We are planning to book with her again for our next trip!”
6. Emma Z.
“Emma did a great job looking after my cat and giving him his insulin shots! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, I knew my cat was in good hands.”
7. Sabrina S.
“Sabrina spent four nights with our two little toy poodles. She was amazing. She kept in contact with us sent us photos and most importantly took such great and loving care of our two little boys. We return to a spotless home we could not have asked for more we will definitely request Sabrina stay with our poodles again.”
8. Meaghan L.
“Meaghan has watched my puppy, Buck a few times now while I travel and she is great! Very reliable, responsible and considerate! I feel super comfortable leaving my guy with her and highly recommend booking with her!”
9. Sevtap D.
“As an over protective dog mom to an anxious and elderly chihuahua I was super nervous to leave him with anyone new. Sev was great at easing my mind and taking great care of him. She sent a lot of photos and comments about how he was doing. He takes medication and needs a little bit of extra love since he is so old and she did fantastic with both. Highly recommend!!”
10. Paul R.
“Paul has been super professional every step of the way. He was prompt in setting up a meet and greet, on time, and communicated well. He also caught my mistake when I initially booked for the wrong days. We received some updates while we were gone, which was appreciated, but most importantly, our girl was clearly well taken care of. She's old and thrives on routine, and she looked like she barely noticed we were gone when we returned. It's really nice to know that she was in great hands. Bonus: I think our apartment was actually cleaner when we returned. 5+ stars.”
11. Shane D.
“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.”
12. Matthijs D.
“Matt took great care of my cats and my place. He sent me lots of pictures too! Highly recommend!”
13. Miliana N.
“Miliana has house sat for us several times and takes excellent care of our mini golden doodle, who’s our pride and joy. I trust her completely and our pup absolutely adores her. You won’t find a more trustworthy caregiver for your pet, she’s truly the best!”
14. Stephanie N.
“Steph house sat for my cat while I was away and they had a great time together. Steph sent me photos of them playing and watching TV together. They seem like best friends. Thanks Steph!”
15. Mills W.
“Mills was great! Excellent communication skills, on time, and quick to respond. Our little guy seems happy, and we’re definitely happy as well. Thanks!”
16. Anna M.
“Very reliable and good with our golden Whaler! Great at communicating and being honest in her updates about his behavior! Overall, we are very happy with her and will use her again/recommend to friends.”
17. Lauren K.
“Highly recommend! Lauren stayed at my apartment and took care of my cat over a holiday weekend. She was extremely professional, friendly, considerate, and attentive. Lauren is great with communication and daily check-ins and even left a flower for me when I got home. I will be rebooking with her in the future :)”
18. Volkan E.
“Excellent sitter! Immensely helpful when I had to leave the country for a long time and wasn’t sure if my new cats would be able to handle being away from humans for very long. Great communication and took great care of the cats and the apartment. I’ll reach out again if I need sitting in the future!”
