1. Amy A.


“Amy was very sweet to our girl and provided tons of updates to keep us at ease during our time apart! Highly recommend her services if you're in need of a pet sitter.”


2. Natalie J.

“Natalie was great! We really appreciated her flexibility and dedication. She was very conscientious with our home. And she took some great photos :)”


3. Stephanie C.

“Stephanie was amazing with Lulu and our house. She was on time and always provided periodic updates and plenty of pictures. She handled some minor hiccups (power outages) like a pro. Lulu loved her and we felt that she was in good hands with Stephanie. I won’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her.”


4. Victoria B.

“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


5. Rachael B.
“Rachael stayed for 10 days with our 14 and 8 year old dogs and we had no concerns or worries. Not only were the dogs well cared for, she took great care of our house, even taking the initiative to put the garbage out a second time when we had flight delays and missed connections and her schedule allowed her to stay another night. Though a seemingly little thing, it was so nice to see when we returned, not to mention the luck of having her with our dogs when the airlines couldn't get us home. We are so grateful!”


6. Mishkat K.
“I highly recommend Mishkat as a care taker for pets. She was kind and took great care of my dog, I had no concerns while knowing she was in her care.”


7. Jacqueline A.

“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”


8. shalese j.

“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”


9. Tam N.

“Tam took terrific care of our 10-y-o German Shepherd mix, Ava, once again. Tam gave Ava lots of stimulation, exercise, and TLC, and we came home to a happy pup and our home in great condition. Ava was sick at the very beginning of Tam’s stay (probably ate something “off” just before we left and Tam arrived), and Tam was heroic about cleaning up, keeping us updated, and following our instructions to prepare rice and modify what Ava was eating to get her back to healthy in 24 hours. Tam was terrific and communicated with us throughout. She also sends terrific photos so we never miss Ava too much when we are gone. I definitely recommend Tam for all your dog care needs.”


10. Julia D.

“Julia was amazing. She is caring, attentive, communicative, and professional. My dog has some separation anxiety and generally doesn't love having "strangers" in his house, but he took to Julia almost immediately; he even seemed sad to see her leave after I returned! She absolutely helped him (and me!) to feel at ease while I was away.”


11. Andrew T.

“This was the first time I left Milo with a sitter, and it worked out beautifully. Andrew was great with the dog, communicated clearly and regularly with me before and while I was away, and left the house spotless. I'll definitely try to book him for future trips.”


12. Shelby U.

“Shelby took care of my dog Xavier at our hotel while we were traveling in Boston. She was very attentive and communicative and I got lots of photos. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”


13. Leigh R.


“Leigh was absolutely wonderful with our old girl! We will definitely be using her again for any future needs. Our girl had a great time and Leigh followed all of our instructions as our old girl does have some needs. Thank you so much Leigh!!”


14. Emma L.

“Emma did a wonderful job caring for my dogs at my house. My dogs clearly loved her and she was very responsive and responsible. Will absolutely use her as a sitter again.”


15. Nathan G.

“Nathan was great with our two dogs! He left our house clean and tidy. He communicated well and gave regular updates. I would recommend him and use him again.”


16. Trisha G.
“Trisha is always extremely caring with animals of all kinds and would be an excellent pet sitter. She’s very kind and understanding of animal’s needs as well.”


17. Kayla K.

“Toby had a great time walking and hanging out with Kayla.”


18. Ava K.

“Hello! I'm a friend of Ava's, and she came over to visit me and my partner the day before I was supposed to bring home a 4 month old kitten. The breeder informed us at the last second, however (while she was eating lunch with us), that we would have to pick him up a day early. This was an issue for me, because I needed to be gone for 5 hours the next day at my niece's birthday party, and I didn't want to leave my new kitten for that long within 24 hours of bringing him home. Ava very generously offered at that moment to stay the night and watch our little baby Pishi while I was seeing my niece the next day. Not only that, since we didn't expect to bring him home early, we hadn't finished cat-proofing the apartment yet. Ava not only offered to cat sit at the last minute, but she also helped us prepare the apartment to make sure it was a safe and clean place for Pishi to arrive. All this is a testament to how caring and thoughtful Ava is, not only as a friend but as a lover of animals. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby boy, and Pishi LOVES his Auntie Ava. I am certain she would treat anyone else's pets with the same level of care as Pishi was so lucky to receive so early in his time with us.”


19. Olivia M.

“Olivia did a great job watching our cat and dog! She sends great pictures every day and even got my dog to walk further than he usually is willing to without me. Definitely recommend!”


20. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn was the best! She sent updates and checked in throughout the stay. Very kind, and was flexible to some last minute plan changes. Thank you so much for watching my pup!”
