Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾

Danyel was an amazing sitter for our 5 month old kitten bmo! She stopped by multiple times to get to know him + his schedule and familiarize herself with the place before we went away. While we were away Danyel sent us daily feeding pictures and other pictures with a few updates on how he was doing. It really helped us feel that he was safe and loved while we were away. Bmo is obsessed with her and we can’t wait to book her again!

Tracey was phenomenal from the first meeting. She stayed with our 3 rescues for 9 days and not only took care of their basic needs, but made them feel comfortable in our absence. Their individual quirks did not phase her at all. Tracey had the desire to understand each dog and know how to best care for and interact with each one as they are all very different from one another. Upon our return all 3 dogs were calm and happy and had clearly been well cared for; in addition our house was left spotless and organized. Tracey is a professional and uses her extensive experience with dogs to provide exceptional care to the dogs lucky enough to stay with her.

Stacey is great and really takes the time to do what's best for your pets. Mine all have issues with each other and Stacey went above and beyond to make sure my two dogs and a cat were able to get along and also gave them lots of individual attention. I recommend her highly for any house sitting or pet sitting job that you might have.

Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.

Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me! I grew up in an animal loving home and on a homestead, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of routines, environments, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I’m a behavioral analyst by profession, which means I bring a calm, patient, and thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I also cared for my rescue pitbull for over six years, supporting his behavioral needs with consistency, understanding, and a lot of love. That experience deeply shaped how I connect with dogs, especially those who may need a little extra patience or structure to feel safe and comfortable! I’m happy to meet your dog exactly where they are. If they’re active, I’m all in for walks, runs, hikes, and playtime! If they prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy keeping things calm, cozy, and predictable. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy adapting to what helps each dog feel their best. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, cared for, and getting lots of attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, which makes me especially reliable for morning, evening, and overnight care. I’m a great fit for pets who thrive on routine and calm, predictable support. I work just two blocks from my home, so if your pet is staying with me, I’m able to be very present throughout the day. I always prioritize time before work, can come home during lunch to check in, and then we have the entire evening together for walks, play, or relaxing depending on their needs. On weekends, I’m fully available and love dedicating that time to longer walks, outings, or giving your pet extra attention and companionship. My schedule allows me to be consistent, attentive, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy! 🐾 Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have space for a crate if your pet is crate-trained or benefits from having their own designated area. I’m very attentive to routines and will follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any specific preferences. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament and make sure they feel safe and comfortable, whether that means giving them space or more engagement. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I stay observant, keep doors and gates secure, and prioritize safety at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. 🐾

Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!

Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!

We had the pleasure of rebooking Mamu for a two week trip, and once again, they did a wonderful job caring for my high energy dog. Mamu is incredibly thoughtful and attentive by sending daily pictures and videos but also going the extra mile to care for my dog's specific needs. They have been working with my dog on his leash pulling. Mamu isn't just watching over your furry friend, but they truly engages with them and wants to help them thrive. Mamu is also very observant and always quick to communicate if something seems off or needs attention. My dog absolutely ADORES Mamu. If you’re lucky enough to book with Mamu, know that your pet, home and your peace of mind are in the best hands.

Stephanie took great care of our 1.2-year-old golden retriever, Bidu, while staying at our home for five nights, and we had a wonderful experience with her! She was responsible, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as we left it. Her updates throughout gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that Bidu felt comfortable and well looked after. We’d happily have Stephanie stay with him again in the future!

We found a gem in Maria! She took special care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a family wedding. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs. Maria was happy to meet with us several times before our scheduled trip; once in the park and twice in our home, which made us feel that much more confident. She sent pictures and anecdotes two or three times a day, which we just loved. We will definitely use Maria again and we recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific dog/house sitter!

Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.

She took the time to carefully listen to Lola’s specific needs and followed every instruction exactly as requested, which meant so much to me. I am especially grateful for the attention and care she gave to Lola. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, so I always knew how my girls were doing. Her communication was excellent, and I never had to wonder how they were doing because she was always proactive about keeping me informed. My request was made on short notice, but she still went out of her way to accommodate us, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help. I’m incredibly thankful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommended!
