1. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.

“Jayden is an amazing and extremely attentive sitter! I have a very energetic pup and two growing cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with Jayden. When I returned home, the house looked amazing and everything was as it should be. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”


2. Anna O.
“We have used Jackson and Anya many times to take care of our pups and our house. What I appreciate about them is the ease of communication. We travel quite a bit, and it's nice receiving regular updates and photos from them about how things are going. We always find the house clean, plants alive and watered, and the pups happy when we return. Highly recommend.”


3. Brianna S.

“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

15. Daniela M.

“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”




16. Tamara C.

“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”
