Russell was an excellent sitter in our home for our demanding cat while we were away for 10 days. He sent lots of pictures and asked good questions. It was super clear how much he cared about her well-being and loves animals. We would highly recommend Russell as a pet/house-sitter!

Alayza is a dog whisperer! She’s amazing, kind and patient. My dog has big stranger danger and fear aggression when meeting someone new and it seems he warmed up to her pretty quickly. By the second day he was cuddling with her and letting her pet him! I highly recommend Alayza!

Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!

Isabelle exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! From the moment she arrived, our dog Max felt completely at ease with her, which says a lot about her natural way with animals. She kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind knowing Max was happy and well-cared for. What really impressed us was her attention to detail - not only did she take excellent care of Max, but she also left our home spotless.

Emily provided fantastic care for my dog Nutmeg! She sent frequent updates, asked great questions about his needs, bonded with him at his own pace, and was flexible with times. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless apartment. Would absolutely recommend and I will be asking her to care for Nutmeg again.

Mirren was excellent. Very responsive and communicative. My older pup, Auggie, can be a bit quirky and stand-offish at first, but he quickly bonded with Mirren.

Amy is a gem! We did not plan on having a small kitten along with our two adult cats when we planned a trip, and realized a house sitter was needed to continue monitoring and acclimating our cat fam. Amy responded to all communication promptly, sent pics and updates throughout, and left our house immaculate. We came home to cats who were relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Amy's services, she is a trustworthy professional.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Issi! Our cat requires daily subcutaneous fluids, and finding someone trustworthy to manage that care is no small thing. Issi rose to the challenge beautifully — attentive, skilled, and genuinely loving toward our little lady. She treated our home with the same care and respect. Five stars simply isn’t enough. Highest possible recommendation!

Anna Luiza was incredible once again! She was very attentive to our 3 boy cats, gave daily updates and even offered to take care of our plants during our 10-day vacation away from home. We love having Anna Luiza over when we’re away because we know the boys are well taken care of and we appreciate how much time, attention and care she gives them.
