“Alicia did a wonderful job caring for our shy, but sweet boy (cat) and our home. She was great about checking in, sending pics and communicating with me throughout the time she stayed. And she left our house spotless. I’d happily ask her to sit for us again and recommend her to others looking for a responsible, caring sitter for their pets.”
“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”
“Tracy gave me a lot of peace of mind during my trip. She clearly takes pride in her work and makes an effort to ensure you are happy with her services. My home and two cats were very well cared for!”
“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.”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dogs and followed all instructions carefully. I was a little nervous since one of them is reactive, but she handled the situation really well. My apartment was left just as I left it, and I’d be happy to book with her again.”
“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”
“Sophia was awesome! She house sat for us for two days (not overnight but back to back) because my parents were coming in from out of town and we would be gone all day. On the second day, my girls, especially Pepper was so happy to see her! Sophia was very much on time on both days and for the Meet and Greet. I’m so happy it worked out for us!”
“Haowen is the best! He took amazing care of our yellow lab, taking him for many long walks, playing frisbee, and cuddling with him on cold December nights. I know all this because he sent me dozens of pictures every day for the whole week he was at our house. He left the house in perfect condition and even watered the plants. He even emailed in the middle of the night when our lab had some leg pain. Highly recommended!”
“Amy was absolutely amazing. She stayed with my two dogs for a week in my home. My dogs are wary of strangers and can be a bit finicky as a result (extra chatty, Velcro-dog syndrome at times), and Amy took it all in stride. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates, and my dogs were very obviously happy with her being there. Will absolutely book Amy again!”
“Cathy is the best. This is the second time she has taken care of my dog. She communicates frequently and responds quickly. She has stayed over at my house and is completely trustworthy. She goes above and beyond. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thanks, Cathy!”
“Our dog Penny adores Skylar! We got so many great updates of their cuddles and walks during our 2 weeks away. We already have plans to book Skylar again, and I know Penny will jump for joy when Skylar comes back to our house.”
“Kristina did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat while I was away! Her detailed updates and myriad of adorable pics gave me confidence everyone was being very well taken care of while I was away. We'll definitely be booking Kristina again in the future”
“John was great with my two large dogs!! He is clearly a pet lover and will care for your pets as if they are his own. John was communicative, professional and respectful and we hope to use John again in the future!”
“Anastasia responded to my booking with less than an 24 hour notice. She immediately responded and made time to meet my pup Clem within an hour of booking! She was very communicative while I was away and made sure to send lots of updates throughout her stay. She’s dog and human approved!!”
“Rachael was fantastic house sitting for us and our dog & cat! We were away 5 days and she was super communicative and accommodating to their many medication needs! Highly recommend!”
“Eric was very accommodating and did a great job sitting my pup, who is a larger and more powerful animal. Eric left our apartment in great condition and I felt at ease while I was away. I highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again.”

Sophia was awesome! She house sat for us for two days (not overnight but back to back) because my parents were coming in from out of town and we would be gone all day. On the second day, my girls, especially Pepper was so happy to see her! Sophia was very much on time on both days and for the Meet and Greet. I’m so happy it worked out for us!
Kora watched my dog for a week and a half and was very communicative and respectful of my home. I got lots of pictures and was not afraid to reach out to ask me questions if she was unsure about anything. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog, even with this being a longer stay.
Alicia was absolutely fantastic and outstanding! She took the time to meet Doxy and Sammie and was very comprehensive in reviewing all their routine needs and habits. She bonded very well with our dogs and sent us photos that made us smile, being reassured that they were in great hands. When I returned home, the dogs were very relaxed and happy. We are so thankful and appreciative to have Alicia’s help with dog sitting and highly recommend her without any reservations. She is truly the best! Thank you so much, Alicia, for taking great care of Doxy and Sammie!
Grace and Andrew were amazing! My wife and I had to leave town on short notice, with fluid travel dates and Grace and Andrew were extremely accommodating and communicative during a very stressful time in our life. Our pets and our home were obviously well cared for. Highly recommended!
Victoria, as always, did an amazing job with my grumpy 14 year old cat who needs medication. Victoria is kind, respectful, responsive, and my cats love her! I would recommend Victoria to anyone and everyone who needs someone to take care of their furry companions.
Ian's dog sitting was excellent. He is really knowledgeable on dog behavior, and he's highly personable. My dog, Sully, loved him right away. Ian followed all my instructions and kept me updated as I requested. He also gave Sully lots of love, attention, and companionship-- ultimately going above and beyond regular dog sitting duties. He is my sitter again anytime for Sully in the future.
James did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs in our house while we were away for five days in Utah. He sent photos and videos of them throughout the day, and information about what they were up to, which we loved. He also wrote with questions that showed how seriously he was taking both the dog sitting and the house sitting aspects of the job. He clearly spent a lot of time with the pups, and he had a wonderful rapport with them. One of our dogs is reactive to other dogs, and both have a number of challenging behaviors, such as counter surfing, and James handled all of these issues with ease. He responded quickly to texts from start to finish. And we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. An exemplary dog sitter!!!
Ginny was great - she came over to our apartment for a meet & greet prior to booking so she could get to know our pups, and when I accidentally messed up the apartment #/door code she handled it with ease. Our boys were so calm when we got home and our place looked great. Will definitely book again!
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Benny! Nicoletta made us feel comfortable right away — it was obvious she’s experienced with high-energy dogs and truly loves spending time with them. She was super communicative, sent amazing updates, gave Benny so much love and attention, and was incredibly respectful of our home. Everything was spotless when we got back. Benny definitely made a new bestie, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
