1. Molly G.


“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”


2. David B J.

“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”


3. Rosanna G.

“Rosanna was so lovely with my cat -- she even treated him to extra love and goodies on his birthday! She was very responsive and generous with the photos, videos and notes while I was away, and I really felt my cat was in excellent hands with her. We both adore her and would recommend her 100%!”


4. Tracy T.


“Tracy is a total pro: Caring, communicative, friendly, and on-point with everything. My very shy cat, QQ, had seldom ever been left alone overnight, much less nearly a week. But Tracy was a rockstar, not only caring for his basic needs, but also engaging in a sustained effort to coax my shy guy into playing and coming out of his introverted shell. Tracy provided regular video and photo updates that went above and beyond to assure me that he was OK. Tracy also did all of this during the holiday season, fitting QQ into her schedule at the last-minute with ease and friendliness. Quite simply, I cannot recommend Tracy highly enough. I trust her with my little guy unequivocally - and so should you! Thank you, Tracy!”


5. Yaisa G.

“Yaisa is my favorite pet sitter on this app. I appreciate her being available last minute to pick up my dog from day care. She is always kind, caring and professional.”


6. Dasja A.



“Dasja was super helpful when I was in a bind. She took my three month puppy out of her crate and had a great visit. She was super understanding of my puppy’s accident and even cleaned up afterward. Overall, she is timely, attentive, and great with pups. Would highly recommend.”


7. Wenlu Z.

“Wenlu is super communicative, attentive, and caring! She made my time away so much easier so I didn’t have to worry about my cat being home alone. My cat really got along with her and will def have her in the future!”

9. Alyssa H.


“Alyssa is great, she is been doing day to day weekdays drop in visits for my two Pomeranians, she has been always on time, very responsive and responsible, always sending me updates and pictures on daily basis and also been very patient with my pups. Definitely using her for long term recurring . And I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wonderful and reliable sitter to look after your dog.”


10. Samantha C.


“Sam did a great job helping me out with Chewie while I was at work! She was timely, responsive, and communicative and I came home each day to a happy pup. Looking forward to using her services again in the future!”


11. Carly G.
“Carly is such a compassionate person and truly loves dogs (and dogs love her!). There are so many dog walkers in the city, but there are few who show care and love for dogs like Carly. After trying several dog walkers, I found Carly, whom my puppy, Leo, absolutely adores. Whenever Carly comes to walk Leo, he is SO excited to see her. I've noticed that when Carly interacts with Leo she is always upbeat and uses positive reinforcement to make him comfortable. After seeing how comfortable Leo was with Carly, I also tried pet-sitting with Carly, which was an equally positive experience. Leo has anxiety, so I explained to Carly some things that he needs to feel like himself day-to-day. Carly was attentive and assured me that she would make Leo as comfortable as possible. In the past when I've had someone pet-sit, Leo comes back to me an anxious mess, but when Leo came back from staying with Carly, he was happy and energetic. I HIGHLY reccomend Carly for any dog-walking or pet-sitting needs!”


12. Maddi U.

“Maddi was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my little loves in her care! She went out of her way to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her :)”




13. Clare S.
“Clare has a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and understands their needs deeply. As a dedicated dog mom to her own high energy pup, she’s always up for playtime and long walks! Her passion for animal welfare shines through her volunteer work and advocacy for dog rescues. She has cared for my pup, who was rescued and very fearful of people, loud noises, and cars, with incredible patience and kindness. Clare’s gentle and loving approach makes her a fantastic caregiver, so I would wholeheartedly trust her to take amazing care of anyone’s furry friend!”


14. Anthony M.

“Anthony was very responsive and very kind. He went out of his way to get my shy girls to trust him!”


15. Wendy B.

“Wendy sent detailed updates of johnjohn when she came to check in on him. She was proactive and thoughtful in the questions she asked on what she needed to do during her check ins and was easy to work with!”


16. Ian T.


“I highly recommend Ian, my two cats received the care and attention they needed. He kept us informed, sent pictures and used the laser and lanyards with the cats. It was a great comfort to know Kimmie and Swipes were in good hands while we were away.”


17. Lorraine Q.
“Lorraine used to watch my puppy and she was extremely reliable and amazing with my fur baby. I don’t know that I’d trust anyone more than I trust her with my dog. She’s always great about taking the pups on long longgg walks!”


18. Jasie J.

“Jasie was lovely with my cats while I was gone. I was very nervous to leave them and she made it quite seamless. She sent regular pictures to check in and put my mind at ease!”


19. Vanessa P.

“We felt so much more comfortable leaving town knowing that Vanessa would be checking in on our cat! From the very beginning, she was very responsive and took the time to come meet him, which helped put us at ease. During her check-ins, it was clear she was very attentive to our fur baby. She took tons of pictures and left very detailed updates. We will definitely be hiring Vanessa again!”


20. Kaila S.


“Kaila’s walks are my boy’s favorite part of the day, I’m sure! She always puts so much time and patience into her visits with him, and gently encourages my lazy couch potato to get a little exercise in!”
