1. Sonya J.

“Sonya was able to take a last minute booking to watch my two French bulldogs for a few hours so my husband I could go out for my birthday stress-free. This was our first time ever leaving them with a sitter. She arrived on time (5 minutes early!) and was very friendly, confident and professional. She sent adorable photo updates of the dogs who were cuddled up with her on the couch and took them out when they needed it. It is clear that she respected our home and took great care of our dogs. They seemed very happy! Will definitely have Sonya watch them again in the future!”


2. Miranda M.

“Miranda is a nice dog sitter. She was nice from our first communication. She texted me and sent some pictures of my dogs! I was so happy to see how my dogs were doing. I will recommend Miranda to any dog parents! Thank you, Miranda,”


3. Roseline C.

“Perfect experience for the dogs. Updates were great and the service provided was vastly above expectations. If you love your pets Roseline is the way to go”




4. Stacy H.

“Stacy was fantastic! Our two dogs and one cat were well cared for and she sent photos and updates every day. She left our house better than she found it and went the extra mile to carry a ton of packages in for us and water our large garden daily. Couldn’t be happier with her services! Thanks, Stacy!”


5. Andrea M.

“It is wonderful to come home to a happy, well-cared for cat! She doesn’t even give us the cold shoulder when we leave her for a week with Andrea.”


6. Chris T.

“Chris looked after our small farm for 10 days. He was awesome with our dogs (2), 2 birds, 4 guinea pigs and 1 lizard. The house also look amazing when we got home. I would highly recommend Chris to care for your pets.”


7. Aspen D.

“Aspen did a great job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She made us feel like we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pups.”


8. Anya P.

“Anya took wonderful care of our pets. She walked them regularly as she said, and sent photo updates each day. We came home to a clean and tidy house. We can’t thank you enough, Anya!”


9. Pat M.

“According to Bailey, our Maltese, Pat treated him with attention and affection like never before (except from us) while we were away on Christmas vacation: he frankly hated to see her leave. Pat responded to our enquiry promptly and met with us on two occasions to get all the details regarding staying in our home, including Bailey's culinary details and exercise and sleeping preferences. Upon our return we found everything as we had left it and a very happy Bailey eager to have us go on another vacation in order to have fun with Pat again. We highly recommend Pat as she saved the situation for us. Initially, we did some "interviews" with a local kennel but were rejected since all Bailey did during the "all day trial" was try to escape. On future trips, Pat will be the first person we'll contact for the job.”


10. Eve K.

“Eve was amazing at taking care of our boys while we were away. She gave us peace of mind knowing our big babies were in good hands and gave us updates on how they were doing. She left the house clean and tidy which was very appreciated as we were tired when we came back from our 24 hour journey home.”


11. Kelsey B.

“Kelsey took such great care with our two cats, Julian and Greta. She provided us with regular updates, made sure they were good on water, food, and litter, and went above and beyond to be affectionate and amazing company for them while we were gone over the holidays. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
12. Elel P.

“I needed someone last minute to watch my dog after her dental surgery, Elle was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet, easy to communicate with, and made everything stress-free. She sent me the cutest photo updates throughout the day, and my dog warmed up to her right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


13. Danielle P.
“Danielle did an excellent job looking after my dog and and keep me well informed which is always appreciated.”


14. Amy G.

15. Anicka M.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, feeding twice to three times a day, taking them on walks and hikes. I often take care of my neighbors dogs i only work part time, and am trying to get into the gig of taking care of animals as love them and am trying to save for school! I have no school till 2025 September so im free all day for now! I have never and would never harmed an animal in my life, i am such an animal person and am very easily connected with any animals.


16. Carollee C.
“Carollee and I connected online a few months ago. We are second cousins. It's apparent she loves dogs and they are of prime importance in her life. She has been a dog owner in the past and made the long term commitment required to ensure their comfort and well-being. Her loving nature and kind heart and would make her an awesome dog sitter.”


17. Etienne H.

“Etieteen was so great with Molly! I would definitely have him come and puppy sit again. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans over Christmas that meant we could no longer take molly with us. Etieteen was so accommodating and put me at ease right away. He stayed at our apartment and took such good care of everything for almost a full week. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. He sent us lots of updates over the 5 days he was watching her and was always available when I needed to contact him. I can tell that Molly received lots of attention and was well taken care of while we were away. She misses her new friend.”


18. Colton E.
“Colt E. is a wonderful pet sitter. We used him numerous times for our bichon shih tzu dog who was quite elderly and needed special care. He was kind and dependable and also kept our house clean! I would definitely recommend him.”


19. Lyndsay S.

“Lyndsay was amazing, nice and very communicative throughout the overnight care. She’d text pictures and updates often. She’s now our go to whenever we’re away.”


20. Shreya S.
