“Echo loves her weekly walks with Janaya! She is very prompt with responses and is thorough with her visit notes. She manages Echo’s crazy puppy energy with ease!”
“Finn did an amazing job looking after Phoebe for the week I'm gone. They bond really well, and I can feel my cat has made a new friend. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone.”
“If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of while you’re away, look no further - Dave is your guy. While we were away for the holidays Dave took great care of our cat Finn, making sure he had tons of playtime and socialization, and even helped with watering plants, bringing in packages, and cleaning up a few unfortunate messes when Finn decided to knock things over. I will definitely be having Dave come back to take care of our little guy in the future.”
“Jessica did a great job looking after our 1 year old cat. She provided good company to our pet — played with her, kept her on schedule with feeding, etc. Lots of pics provided of our kitty in action which provided peace of mind and was so nice to see being so far away from home.”
“Lizzy exceeded all expectations and made my first experience leaving my cats for an extended period completely stress-free. From the start, she demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, putting my mind at ease. Each day, Lizzy sent adorable pictures of my cats, giving me peace of mind and keeping me connected to them while I was away. Her detailed messages were thorough, updating me on how they were doing, what they were eating, and any other observations she made. Not only did she meticulously follow all of our instructions, but she also went above and beyond in ensuring the cats were comfortable and well cared for. Working with Lizzy was seamless—her communication was prompt, her attention to detail unmatched, and her warm demeanor truly reassuring. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I think my kitties already miss her!”
“Erinn is very responsive, kind, and extremely responsible. She sent us the greatest pictures of our dogs! I found her to be completely reliable and will not hesitate to use her services the next time we need someone to walk our dogs. Do not hesitate to book Erinn!”
“Shannon was so great! Our cats are a bit particular but she was great at catering to all of their needs. She went over and above at keeping our space clean and giving lots of extra love and play time to the kitties. We will definitely hire her again!”

She messaged us after we got home to make sure everything was ok. Our cat loved having her visit, thanks Melissa for caring for her like your own!”
“Daniela looked after our cat Molly while we were away for a long weekend. She stopped in every day to feed her and play with her. We got lots of pictures of Molly after each visit and we could tell she was very happy to see her and have some company. We will be happy to have Daniela come look after Molly again sometime soon!”
“Sara and Rick were absolutely wonderful. They came by for a visit before the sitting sessions, and were completely at home with the kitties and my instructions. They put me at ease. Every day I got a great update, description of activities, and lots of photos of them having fun with my two cats. I never had to worry for a minute. They were timely about returning my key, and I'd hire them again in a minute. Highly recommended.”

“Sandra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was away. She sent daily updates with pictures, and I could tell my cats were happy and well cared for. Sandra even managed to win over my shyer cat Lily, which is no small feat! I came home to a clean house and content kitties. I highly recommend Sandra for pet sitting!”

About: My name is Rachel and for those who have pets understand that our pets are our children. With that in mind I'd risk my life protecting my baby Sunny as I would do for any pet I take care of. I love animals I believe after babies they are the purest things in the world. They are members of the family and would dedicate their lives to loving you. I promise to love and care for your pet to the best of my ability. I'm 24 years old, have experience working with children and customer service. I have a little dog names sunny who is a Maltese and shih tzu mix. And I have two cats, Mr midnight and Benjamin. I am currently studying online so my schedule is very flexible. I am pretty much at home with my pets every single day all day unless I need to to get groceries or coffee. My pets get lots of attention, I tend to see pets as little toddlers running around. I make sure to constantly have my eye on them to make sure they aren't getting into trouble.
“We reached out to Behnav to come in and feed and check in our beloved dog while we would be out. She met with us and Eddy and we felt at ease with her right away. She went down to Eddy's level and was very engaging - we knew he would feel comfortable as he is anxious and can be untrusting of people he does not know well. She was even able to get him outside during her, which he sometimes won't do with strangers. Very happy to have an added and trusted support for our dog!”

This was the third time Shannon has cared for our cats while we were away, and it gives us so much comfort knowing how well they’re taken care of while away. It’s almost like a vacation for our cats while we’re away, they’re treated so well! Lots of play time and cuddles, litter, food and water always fresh, and our home is always cleaner than when we left! We will continue to use Shannon whenever we’re away.
Megan is an Outstanding Pet Sitter! I can't say enough good things about Megan! she took amazing care of my dog, Lucy, while I was away. From the very beginning, I could tell Lucy was in loving and capable hands. She got plenty of walks, playtime, and was absolutely spoiled with treats (in the best way!). Megan kept me updated with photos, videos and little notes, which really put my mind at ease. Lucy looked so happy and relaxed every time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treat them like their own. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book Megan again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!
I booked Myt based on a referral I received and I was so glad she was able to drop in on my cats. She refilled food and water, did the litter, sent me updates, videos and pictures during her drop ins, and of course played with the cats! She also brought in some packages I'd received, kept an eye out for pesky ants that had been in my kitchen, cleaned up cat vomit and followed instructions precisely. Thank you, Myt!
Patricia is fantastic as always! I appreciate her attention to detail and care for my two pups. I get lots of updates and photos which I love to see. Highly recommend!
Lizzy is great. I can really tell that she loves what she does. My dog is shy around new people but after the second time meeting Lizzy, he found himself a new friend!! I would definitely recommend her.
Rayane took care of our pups while we were away for a few days. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, including cleaning up a big mess that the dogs made while we were gone. We will definitely ask Rayane to watch our dogs again in the future 😊
Thank you Sunny for the drop-ins. We leave the house with peace of mind knowing you will be arriving periodically to take care of the dogs. Thanks again!
Nicole made me feel so confident in having her come in and let my baby out. I always worry about her while I am away and her communication and taking all of my routines carefully made me feel so much better
Sunny is punctual and responsive. It seems like our cat warmed up to her by the end of the weekend, and our cat is very shy. Will be looking forward to booking with her again.
Piper was very communicative, she kept me up to date and was always very on time for drop in visits! She was also very patient with my dog, who can get anxious easily. I definitely felt lucky to have her drop in on my dog Captain while being away for work😊
Very attentive & sweet. Had 0 doubts while leaving my mom’s 2 cats for 6 days with Izabelas help. Will definitely request her help again when we need it!
Abby is fantastic and I highly recommend her. Abby looked after our two cats while we were away for a week. Luckily, she was available on short notice, and even had to administer pills twice daily, (and disarm a malfunctioning fire alarm) which is no small feat. Our cats were so well-cared for and had a ball playing and posing for photos. I can’t say enough good things about Abby and would love to have her look after our cats again.
Julia was able to help me out big time today! I’m so happy with her response time and my pup loved her!! I’ll definitely be using her again!!
Alex has taken care of our two cats a few times now and we continue to be so happy with her care of them, our home and her overall professionalism. She takes great care to ensure our cats are well looked after and always keeps us in the loop.on any schedule changes. Highly recommend hiring Alex for any pet sitting needs!
Andres is hands down the most caring, attentive, and responsible sitter I've had. When I picked my dog up, he was noticeably more tired/calm and had an empty bladder. Andres truly goes above and beyond not just in service but also in treatment to my dog, which is a rare quality to find in a dog carer. Andres goes above and beyond; He and his girlfriend are amazing. Will be my go-to sitter for sure. Thank you Andres! My dog misses you and wishes he was with you haha
Ethan was so reliable and amazing! I’m so happy I found him last minute to help out. Will definitely reach out again :)
Sara and Rick were absolutely wonderful. They came by for a visit before the sitting sessions, and were completely at home with the kitties and my instructions. They put me at ease. Every day I got a great update, description of activities, and lots of photos of them having fun with my two cats. I never had to worry for a minute. They were timely about returning my key, and I'd hire them again in a minute. Highly recommended.
Faryn was wonderful with my cats, and provided excellent service! She was respectful, conscientious, and professional. She was very affectionate with my cats, and truly seemed to enjoy spending time with them. I appreciated her Rover cards - and all the pics! I would certainly hire her again, in the future!
