Isa was great staying with our 2 dogs for 2 night. She kept us well updated and sent lots of photos. One of our rescues has special behavioral needs where strangers can't pet him, and Isa definitely made him comfortable and he warmed up to her immediately. She took good care of the house as well and followed all of our instructions. We recommend Isa!

Matthew was amazing in providing updates on the dogs. He definitely spoiled both dogs and handled them with love and care. Additionally, he left the house tidy and clean even washing the sheets and blankets that were used. Definitely a great sitter that I would use again!

“Gabriela did a fantastic job taking care of our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Daisy! She is very kind, loving and detail oriented-just what we needed when leaving our senior fur baby! We loved the photos she sent—they really put our minds at ease. When we returned, the house was impeccable and Daisy was a happy camper! Gabriela is a wonderful sitter, and we will definitely hire her again!

Abby came to my house to meet my dog before she stayed overnight with him. It was great to get to know her and she was very personable and my dog enjoyed meeting her. She then stayed overnight and she was very communicative when she had a question. I will definitely hire her again.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Misa was an awesome caretaker for our dog. We are always worried when we leave our baby in somebody else’s care, but not with Misa! She sent many updates and was so easy to get in touch with if needed. We never had to worry about not getting enough information and it really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we returned, our boy was happy as can be and so chill. I could not recommend Misa more highly and will absolutely be rebooking in the future.

Thank you Seth, for a seamless, successful visit. The dogs didn't even miss us but I think they might be looking out the window for you today. The house, the dogs, and the Guinea pig are all in great shape and I have zero complaints. I would be happy to have Seth take care of our house and animals again.

This was our first of two sittings with Tara and we couldn’t be more pleased with the attention and care given to our pup and our home. She is so communicative, offering updates as frequently as desired and was proactive in learning and doing everything she could to ensure our pup was happy and comfortable with her. We have a Velcro pup so we do worry about his anxiety while we are away but Tara put our minds at ease.

Kerry is awesome! She took a booking with me last minute that I urgently needed and was so understanding of my situation. She instantly made friends with my cats upon getting to my home and made sure she had a full understanding of everything before I left. She sent tons of pictures and really nice, informative updates. Would 100% book with Kerry again and recommend her to anyone! Thanks Kerry from Menu, Cactus, and I (:

About: Hi! I’m Michelle - I work in economic consulting and love dogs! I grew up w dogs, fostered dogs, and pet sit for friends when they are out of town. I have experience caring for and exercising different dogs from teacup cockapoos to Great Danes! Recently I moved to a pet friendly apartment building near the UN and got my own dog - Abby - a friendly, gentle, and energetic Manchester terrier mix. She loves to share her superfluous quantity of toys and balls. We live near a dog park so we visit the park and take plenty of walks during the day. My work allows me to work from home so the pups are rarely unsupervised. Rest assured your dog will be treated and accommodated for as if he/she were my own!

About: I have a lot of experience with animals. I currently care for four pets and have had my dog by my side for the past 15 years. This has given me a good understanding of animal behavior, routines, and the attention each pet needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing not just care, but companionship and genuine affection. I have a very flexible schedule, Im available 7 days a week. I can always schedule my work and errands for the day based around the pet’s routine. I have a big fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I’m very attentive and present in my home so I’m always keeping a close eye on the pets. I’m also very respectful of other homes so I can easily follow instructions and care for pets in the comfort of their own home!

The dogs loved Matthew as soon as they met him! We had a couple of challenges. A snow storm, a dog with seizures, and a dog that apparently has had enough of the cold. Matthew followed our routine through freezing iced conditions and took care of my little guy through a seizure episode. I usually board the dogs and they come home traumatized. This time I came home to happy fur babies that were still in their routine. Would highly recommend!

Darcy H. did a wonderful job with our cat during a holiday house sitting. She did so while respecting the house and with great consideration; she was neat, tidy, and clean. The cat food cans were rinsed out and put in the recycle bin, the plates were rinsed off and put in the dishwasher. We loved that she took the effort to ensure we didn't return to our home and have to clean up after her and we greatly appreciate that.

Isabelle was great. She watched our house and 2 large dogs for the first time for a week over Christmas. We felt very comfortable with her and the house was kept in good shape. We received regular updates with photos. Also, she is clearly thoughtful and experienced based on the questions she asked. We look forward to using her against if schedules allow and would recommend her to others.

Dionisia was very attentive to my pup's (Charlie) needs, even when she had an unexpected responsibility elsewhere. Charlie who is quite timid, took to her rather fast, which is saying a lot. Unfortunately, Charlie developed a stomach issue which required to be let out several times throughout the night. Dionisia was a champ, taking care of her! I would not hesitate to utilize Dionisia for future visits.
