“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”

“Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home”
“Cat was and is WONDERFUL. She stayed with our dog for 12 days, the longest vacation we have ever taken, and we were admittedly nervous about leaving him for that long. She was thoughtful and communicative leading up to and during her stay, left the house very neat and clean and put us totally at ease. I cannot possibly put into this little box how much we appreciate Cat—other than to say I cannot imagine engaging anyone else in care of my beloved pet. I will miss our text message check-ins and recommend her entirely.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for even longer than 2 years but have also been working at a dog walking company for 2 years now and have experience with many breeds and ages I’m currently a full time student so I prefer taking care of pets for people on the weekends and during times of the year when classes are out. Whatever you need me to do for your pet I can do just communicate that to me, really anything from medication to playing around I can do.
“Cindy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! She has such a loving and positive attitude towards animals. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting my sweet fur babies she was on the floor with them ready to give them all the love. She was communicative, kind, and extremely attentive. 10/10 will work with her again! Thank you Cindy!”
“Keith was responsible, responsive, and reliable. Our boys loved spending time with him and we felt very comfortable knowing he was at the house taking care of things. Even when our boys caused a little mayhem, Keith handled it like a pro and kept us in the loop. If you are looking for a friendly and trustworthy sitter, Keith is your guy.”

Jasmine sat with Roxy for a last minute request. Our flight was late and we needed someone to stay with her for a few hours. She sent us a photo of Roxy and was super professional. The good news is that she lives in our neighborhood. I will definitely use her services in the future. Excellent care of Roxy!
Excellent caretaker for Roxy. We went to Aruba on vacation and Cindy stayed at our house. She was thoughtful and did a meet and greet a week prior to our vacation. Roxy loves her. She kept in contact with us throughout the trip. She noticed that Roxy had a chronic cough and notified us. She took her to the vet and Roxy was treated with medications. Cindy was able to give her the medicines and keep her safe and comfortable. She also washed our towels and cleaned the kitchen. She is a pure joy and we are grateful for Cindy. Definitely, more than 5 stars!
Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover.

Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!
Rose did an amazing job watching our dog and cat while we were away for a week. It’s such a relief to know how well taken care of they are so we could relax on vacation! Rose is an excellent communicator and sent regular updates and pictures. The pets were very happy and the house looked great upon our return! We are repeat customers and would definitely work with Rose again.
We had another great experience working with Egon! They did a wonderful job taking care of our grumpy old cat and two kittens :) We knew the kitties and our house were in good hands, and we came home to a tidy house and happy cats. We'll definitely be asking Egon to housesit for us again!
