1. Kristina M.
“Kristina was great!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and consider ourselves VERY lucky that Kristina was available. She did an excellent job dog & house sitting and sent us detailed updates. We will absolutely book with her again!!”
2. Anastasia S.
“Ana is absolutely awesome! We're neighbors and she has been kindly helping me look after my cat Pocky when I was on vacation. She LOVEs pets and has shown great care and patience when taking care of Pocky. She not only did basic cat chores but also spent sufficient time patting/playing with him, talking to him in cute words like communicating with a baby, making him super happy and satisfied! Pocky loves her so much - Ana is definitely going to be a great pet caregiver!”

4. Yasmin N.
“Yasmin was a fantastic house sitter for Justin my German shepherd. She’s an excellent communicator and he seems like he had a wonderful time. I highly recommend her!”
5. Maddy H.
“Maddy was a great sitter for our dog Stella! She provided updates and pictures every day. She was very responsive and even stayed a little later when our flight was delayed. She also left our place very clean! Highly recommend!”
6. Devin C.
“Devin was great, I felt my dog was very well looked after and my apartment was in the same state as how I left it which was very appreciated!”
7. Ginny R.
“Our dogs were well taken care of with Ginny, and she has such a calming presence that I think really fits with what our dogs need.”
8. 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!”
9. Anthony E.
“Tony was fantastic! He took great care of our kiddos, even with bad weather and one dog on some movement restrictions. He asked lots of questions to make sure he knew just how to make them both happy. He was also very respectful of our home and left it just as he found it. We will definitely be using Tony again.”
10. Paige S.
“Paige was amazing! She met us at our hotel in Bethesda and stayed with our puppy for over 7 hours so that we could attend a wedding nearby. She sent photos throughout that time to let us know how he was doing and took him on multiple walks. Our little pupper had a great time!”
11. Lucy P.
“I highly recommend Lucy for any dog boarding or walking needs. She has an incredible way with animals, showing them the utmost care and attention. She’s not only playful and affectionate but also ensures all their needs are consistently met, from feeding to administering medication and daily walks. One thing I especially appreciate is the regular updates she sends throughout the day, complete with pictures, so I always know how my dogs are doing. Lucy is fantastic with dogs of all ages, whether they're energetic pups or older dogs needing a bit more care. Her reliability and genuine love for animals make her an excellent choice—I'd recommend her 110%!”
12. Aubrey E.
“Aubrey was great! She saved me when I needed someone last minute. My dog was super happy and got plenty of exercise, and the apartment was left better than I found it. Will use again!”
13. Christie R.
“Christie provided 10/10 service!! She has such a calm demeanor and our pups were immediately put at ease when she was with them. She is responsive, reliable, and respectful in all ways. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a service with her. We absolutely will be hiring her again. Thanks Christie!! Xx, Samantha, Sean, Chubbs, and Charlie”

“Sunny took amazing care of Tater while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures (amazing ones!) and checked in with us often. Sunny even left us a framed picture of Tater. She is fantastic!”

“I highly recommend Charlie! He treated my dog as if it were his own! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, He’s your guy!”
16. Shelby U.
“Shelby took care of my dog Xavier at our hotel while we were traveling in Boston. She was very attentive and communicative and I got lots of photos. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
17. Belkis M.
“Belkis was great with our dog Theia. We had a bad experience with a sitter in the past, and she made us feel very assured that our old dog was in good hands. She sent updates and pictures, and was very flexible with our schedule. We will certainly reach out to her for future stays.”
