1. Stephanie P.

“Very responsive and sent a lot of photos every day. They stayed an extra hour later than we had discussed because I was getting back from the airport late. The house was clean and the dogs were happy. Would definitely book again!”


2. Julia H.

“Julia was awesome! Julia stayed at our house for 2 nights while taking care of our 135 lb. Bullmastiff, Louie. Julia also took care of our many plants. Louie was relaxed and well cared for and our house was left spotless. Julia asked questions about the plants and Louie and also offered to wash the bed sheets before leaving. We received daily photos which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend Julia!”


3. Jupiter B.

“Jupiter did a great job. The house was clean and orderly when we returned, and the dogs were content.”


4. Alyssa M.

“Great communication before and during the visit. I felt very comfortable with Alyssa watching my dog. Pictures and status throughout was greatly appreciated. Will definitely reach out again.”


5. Nikki S.

“Nikki was amazing!! She kept us updated with photos and vids of our dog all weekend. This was our first time leaving her home since her puppy buddy passed away but we had nothing to worry about with Nikki. I could tell she loved our girl like we did. And I love another Bulldog fanatic!! Would give her 10 stars if I could!!”


6. Philip F.

“Again Philip was a great choice for watching widget in our home while we were gone most of the day! Always communicative, sends lots of pictures and is super flexible.”


7. Traci H.

“Traci has house/pet sat for my cat twice now. Every time I came back everything looked great and my cat seemed happy and well taken care of. I will definitely have her back.”


8. Guillermo S.

“Guillermo was great with my skittish pets. My dog Freyja especially is usually very fearful with strangers and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn't know, but she warmed up to him to the point where he was able to put her harness on and off (which is a big deal- trust me.) The cat ended up cuddling on the couch with him too. And he took good care of the house too, leaving everything clean. He was great!”




9. Delilah & Vincent W.


“We appreciate Delilah so much! Super responsive and takes great care of our home and fur-babies. Very grateful to have found her - do not hesitate to book!”


10. Jamie C.

“Jamie was great with my two pups! She sent regular updates and left the house exactly as I had left it, will definitely book with her again!”


11. Rose A.
“Rose is remarkable and has been taking care of our dog Gracie for several years with love and great care. She is responsible way beyond her years and truly has a gift with all types of animals. Rose has come to our house many times when we can’t be home in time to take the dog out for a walk or just needed a night away. I would trust her implicitly with any animal, big or small!”


12. Melanie B.

“Melanie is an extremely caring, conscientious, and experienced pet caregiver. My entire family of pets from my under two year-old pup to my elderly cat were well cared for.”


13. Shane N.

“Shane did a wonderful job house sitting our cat over the holidays. He was exceptionally responsive and communicated with us regularly as we adjusted feed times, managed schedule, ect. He was accommodating around busy holiday times and mindful of our cats (frequent) feeding needs. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!”

16. Cheyenne A.

“Cheyenne was so great with my babies! She sent updates often and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for while I was on my trip.”


17. Maria K.
“I’ve known Maria for years, and if there’s one thing that stands out about her, it’s how much she genuinely loves animals. She’s responsible, attentive, and incredibly patient. I’ve had Maria watch my three golden retrievers and two cats multiple times, I always feel at ease when they’re in her hands. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding pets, or just spending time with them to make sure they feel loved, she always goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about animals, I can’t recommend Maria enough!”


18. Lisa G.
“I highly recommend Lisa as a pet sitter. She is incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive to the needs of pets. During the time she watched my animals, she went above and beyond to ensure they were happy and comfortable. Lisa is not only trustworthy but also has a genuine love for animals that shines through in her interactions with them. I always felt at ease knowing my pets were in her capable hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable and passionate about pet care, Lisa is the perfect choice!”


19. Ian B.
“Ian is a kind, responsible, and intelligent young man who adores animals of all kinds. As a high school and college student, he has frequently worked pet-sitting jobs for family and friends, and his family founded the nonprofit organization Operation Delta Dog, which rescues shelter dogs and trains them to work as service dogs for disabled veterans. He has also helped his family care for many foster dogs and rescue dogs through the years.”
