“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren was a wonderful house sitter! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and short summaries of what my pets were up to each day. I didn’t have to worry at all that my pets were well taken care of during my vacation! I came home to a clean house and happy animals. I would definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Alivia was a super communicative and kind easy to work with sitter. From walking through the care instructions for my senior dog, to daily updates on how he was doing, I felt like he was in safe hands and could enjoy my time away. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Haowen was SUPER! He connected immediately with my dog Jordan, and she had a great time with him for the week. And he sent me great photos of them daily on their walks. He really is a wonderful photographer!! Would definitely work with him again.”
“Anastasia was great with Willow for the week that I was gone! She was accommodating to my requests for updates and check-ins. She went above and beyond and showed the next sitter around my place before leaving. Thank you Anastasia!!”
“Skylar was excellent!! So communicative, came perfectly on-time and shared so many adorable pup-updates while we were away. Our dogs were very well take care of and we felt at ease with Skylar being with them. I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a sitter. Thank you, Skylar!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jenn took great care of our 1.5 year old dog while we were on vacation for ~10 days. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures several times every day to check in, which was really nice while we were away missing our pup. He's a dog that loves to interact with other dogs, and she took him to the North End dog park every day so he could socialize and play. We even noticed he was more confident at the park when we returned home. She stayed at our apartment, which she left very clean. We highly recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Arshneel was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Brussel. She really went above and beyond our expectations and made sure Brussel had the best week. She checked in a ton which we asked for and loved! We’re booking her again ASAP!”
“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!”
“Andrew is a great dog sitter. He was very accommodating when our previous dog sitter cancelled on us. He is easy to communicate with and is great with dogs. He stayed at our place for a week and watched our dog that doesn't really like new people while we were traveling. We came back home to a happy puppy, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“We’ve now booked with Audrie twice and she is truly a 10/10 sitter. She stays in our home with our cat and 1-year-old lab, and we always come back feeling like everything was in the best hands. She sends regular updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away, and she’s great about flagging anything out of the ordinary right away. What really stands out is how intuitive and genuinely caring she is with animals. Our puppy actually went into heat the night we were coming home, and she stayed a few extra hours to comfort her and make sure everything was okay- that meant so much to us. You can just tell she truly loves what she does. As an added bonus, she leaves the house spotless, which is the best feeling after coming home from a trip. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her!”
“Natalie is the absolute best for our dog. We went for a week long trip and Natalie stayed in our home. Let me start off by saying that we came back to the house even better than we left it. Natalie kept us up to date and treated Tia and our house as her own. She made sure to clean up any and all messes. And cleaned up a mess from Tia’s accident better than even we could. She even went through our trashes and washed her own sheets. Natalie will be our go-to sitter going forward and highly recommend her to all”
“I wish I could give 10 stars… I hate being away from my little princess Macy. Even though she’s a cat I know she misses me too. It was great knowing she was in really good hands with Maisel and getting pictures and videos every day. Definitely will book her again!!”
“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”

Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.
Sam was very responsible with our Mabel during her dog sitting stay. She sent us updates each day to let us know how she was doing, and to keep us in the know. Mabel had gotten a little sick while Sam was with her and she let us know the next morning after taking good care of her and tracking what happened throughout the day. Definitely a trustworthy sitter and we look forward to working with her again!
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.
