“Kelly was wonderful! She was so communicative with us, sending updates and photos, and left everything tidy when upon her departure. We felt very comfortable leaving Moose with Kelly.”
“I knew that Thomas would be the perfect sitter for our dog, Buddy, as soon as I met him. He's kind and respectful and articulate. He came over a week before our vacation to meet our dog and get the lay of the land. He was right on time for that meeting and right on time the day that we left for vacation. While we were on vacation he sent us photos of Buddy each evening, with a brief update on their day. Our house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely use Thomas again in the future.”
“Ria was amazing with our pup, Gunner, while she kept him company for a short sit in our home. She had Gunner so engaged with a toy that she brought over that we were able to quietly slip out the door without him noticing. For a dog who struggles with separation anxiety, that was quite the achievement! We received photos and updates throughout the night and our home was respected. We would not hesitate to use Ria again.”
“Claire was great! We were very grateful she was able to accommodate a last minute need for a dog sitter. Claire provided updates and photos which were much appreciated. She took great care of Ava and we will definitely request her services again”
“Salem was absolutely amazing for Oliver and did everything that we asked and more! She was very communicative and gave us total peace of mind while we were far far away from home!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Allison! She stayed at our house to watch both our cat and dog. She is incredibly professional, sweet, and was clearly very comfortable around both animals. Our cat requires a daily pill, and she handled the administration perfectly. She sent us frequent updates and photos while we were away which gave us total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Rosa did an amazing jobs taking care of my girls when I reached out with a last minute request for an overnight stay. She was prompt, communicative, and I could tell the dogs were very well taken care of as well as my home. She provided plenty of updates and followed, feeding and medication instructions with attention to detail. Thank you so much for your help Rosa! The girls and I will talk to you again soon!”
“Britney took great care of our 3.5 month old puppy, Whiskey. She arrived at our home on time and was playing with Whiskey within minutes. While we were out, she checked in with us and sent a wonderful puppy photo of our happy boy. We highly recommend Britney G for dog sitting services.”
“Jennifer cat/house sat for my two cats. She was amazing with them and they both loved her. She kept the house incredibly clean and was very communicative, kind, and authentic throughout the whole process. I was very grateful my cats were in her hands so I could fully relax while on vacation knowing they were more than taken care of. Thank you Jennifer!!!”
“It seemed like Willy had a great time with Christina! I loved getting photo updates of him and what he was up to. Willy is usually nervous around strangers/new people but it seems like he warmed up immediately to Christina! She stayed in our house and kept it clean and took in our packages for us without us having to ask. So thankful for her help in watching him and we will definitely be re-booking with Christina!”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs in my life and have taken care of family friend pets since I was 12. I am a very calm sitter and have an excellent attention to detail. I am a graduate student who is usually on campus between 9am and 5pm Monday-Friday. I am flexible to come by before/after and house sit if need be! I take my client’s pets on walks, feed them regularly, give them treats and belly rubs. I also enjoy just spending quality time with my clients pets and will spend time relaxing with them and making them feel comfortable! I am really good with plants and can help out around the house if requested!
“I highly recommend Aspen H. for dog/house overnight sitting! She just sat for our two dogs and did an excellent job. Aspen followed our instructions to the letter and had the extra responsibility with caring for our senior 13 year old. Our sheltie receives medication and has to be carried up and down the many steps to reach the backyard for bathroom breaks. Our shep mix has anxiety with thunderstorms and Aspen took this in stride. I was shocked to see that Aspen washed sheets and towels before leaving! Aspen had the patience with my welfare text checks and demonstrates warmth and understanding in her communication. She has a sweet humor and clearly loves animals. Thank you Aspen and Rover for making our trip possible!”
“Kate is very caring and helpful. Top notch dog sitter and easy to communicate with. Very much appreciated that she filled in last minute. Highly recommended, and I'll book with her again.”
“Gretchen was wonderful with Heidi. Even our neighbors had nothing but wonderful things to say. I returned home to the exact same puppy, happy and reassured. And Gretchen provided lovely updates regarding how things were going! We will definitely be having her sit again!”
“Catherine did a great job watching over our home and two dogs. She maintained consistent communication and offered pictures of our dogs that we really appreciated. We came home to two happy and well taken care of dogs, as well as a well maintained home with some light cleaning that had been done. Would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone and we’ll be using her again really soon!”
About: I’ve been taking care of others pets since I was 16, but growing up we always had at least 2 pets in the house! I have a cat of my own & spend my free time volunteering at the Orange County Animal Shelter! I currently work full time remotely! I’m free to walk & play with your pets as between my meetings, in the evenings & on the weekends! The pet and their safety and comfort are my number one priority! Taking the time to make sure each pet feels loved, safe & happy is extremely important to me!
“Tram is the perfect pet sitter. We had a destination wedding and have only trusted family & friends to watch our sweet cat. Tram came over to meet our Cosmo and understood his needs (as he has FIC and doesn’t do well when we leave him). I felt so safe and secure having her stay at our apartment overnight. We came back to a sweet note and candle from her as well. Thank you again Tram!!! :)”
“Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.”

Ria did a wonderful job caring for our dogs over a long weekend. She graciously took the time to meet with us a few weeks before our trip, and both dogs felt comfortable with her right away. We have an anxious bully, and Ria was incredibly patient and attentive to her needs. It was clear from the updates she sent that our dogs were happy, relaxed, and having a great time during her stay. Ria was highly responsive, communicative, and provided thoughtful updates throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We returned home to two happy pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book Ria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Lauren was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire process, she was super communicative, thoughtful, and caring towards our boy. He warmed up to Lauren very quickly and we felt very comfortable knowing he was getting attention and care while we were away. I highly recommend Lauren and plan to reach out to her again in the future!
Meg did a great job with our reactive pup! She was patient and understanding of the unique challenges of walking him. She gave updates throughout the stay, which was greatly appreciated. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Meg is a wonderful sitter, and we would absolutely recommend her!
What an amazing experience. Grace is attentive, responsible, and communicate regularly. I was so relieved to have her sit for my fur babies. It was such a wonderful experience I will definitely continue to have her come take care of my beloved four legged fur babies. Highly highly recommend her.
Claire came for a first weekend visit with our two dogs and it went very well. She's very professional and personable and the dogs loved her. They were extremely well cared for and the house was in immaculate condition when we returned. It was very easy to communicate with her and get a quick response.
Thomas is an excellent pet sitter. First off, we had a meet and greet where we each had a chance to talk about the dogs and ask questions. During his stay with the dogs at my home, Thomas provided thoughtful and consistent updates, along with sharing photos of the pups. He followed my dog care routine closely and also seemed to be very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was so patient with my dogs’ quirks. I felt at ease knowing the pups are being taken care of so well. He also left the house clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Thomas and would hire him again anytime!
Kiko was amazing! He took great care of our boy - lots of walks and snuggles. Dex was a tired and very happy boy when we returned. And Kiko left the house cleaner than we left it… He is without a doubt one of the best sitters we have ever used. Highly recommend!
I would rebook Mason again and again! This was our longest booking with Mason, and she took such great care (as always) of our dog, Willy. She truly went above and beyond when taking care of him and even helped with a few extra visits and moments of care for Willy when I mixed up our travel plans. Mason is reliable, communicative, and is adaptable to any situation. She was also helpful in administering minor medication for Willy as he dealt with an upset stomach and kept me updated on his recover. I can’t thank her enough and will continue to book with Mason for as long as she’s in the area!
Aspen took care of my very anxious velcro dog for 4 nights, and I couldn't be happier. She checked in daily but didn't overwhelm me with messages. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned home, and the house looked just like I left it. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.
