1. Liz P.

“Liz took great care of Zoe. She gave updates often and sent pics. Zoe looked like she was having a great time playing with her dogs. When we picked her up at the end of the day, Zoe was excited to see us but also seemed to miss her new friends. I'm happy and comfortable knowing that my girl was well taken care of and had a good time, entertained by other dogs and kids. Thanks Liz for taking care of Zoe and we'll see you soon!”


2. Miranda S.

“Miranda was great. I had absolutely no worries during the day while I was at work. She logged the walks, took pictures, and most importantly, didn't let my houdini of a husky find a way to escape her house and terrorize the neighborhood. Miranda even woke up super early to accommodate my work schedule for drop-offs. Rogue actually gets excited to go over to her house each morning. Highly recommend.”




3. Todd & Bill M.



“Incredibly kind people and flexible. They have a few dogs that my 4 month old puppy played with. When I got home she went to sleep right away so it seemed like she had plenty of fun! Thanks guys. I will be coming back for your help!”


4. Antonio P.

“Antonio is so kind to my pup. I can trust that his home is a stimulating, happy and caring environment for my dog. Flexible. And excellent at administering meds and experienced with animals. Comes highly recommended!”


5. Rebecca C.

“Thank you so much for picking him up amd taking such good care of our little pup!”


6. Gabby H.

“We felt extremely comfortable leaving our 10 month old pup with Gabby. She was professional, communicative, and was very knowledgeable about dogs when we did our meet a greet. Gabby sends lots of updates and makes sure that the dogs get plenty of play time and time outside. We have done daycare and boarding with Gabby and felt comfortable every step of the way. Gabby adapted to the needs of our high energy and shy pup and even helps with training! We highly recommend booking with Gabby she is responsible and playful with our pup.”

10. Layla B.
“Layla cared for my two dogs for over a month, and they absolutely loved her! She’s responsible, attentive, and kept me updated throughout. Her location even has a dog park, which my dogs thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend her as a loving and trustworthy pet sitter. And she sent tons of photos!!! 🫶”


11. Marcus L.
“I highly recommend Marcus as a dog walker and pet sitter. Throughout the time I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marcus, he has consistently demonstrated exceptional care, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Marcus has taken care of our 2 dogs many times. He has always gone above and beyond to ensure their well-being. He is punctual, reliable, and communicates effectively, providing regular updates and photos during each visit. In addition to providing excellent care, Marcus has a deep understanding of animal behavior and is skilled at handling different personalities and energy levels. My dogs always look forward to walks and visits from him, which speaks volumes about the comfort and trust established. I wholeheartedly recommend Marcus for any dog walking or pet sitting needs. He would be an asset to any fur family looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. Thank you Marcus for taking care of our furry family members!”


12. Duffy M.
“Duffy has been a huge help when needed someone to watch our two small dogs. Not only is he incredibly consistent with routines, he interacts with them with energy, eye contact and fun, chasing, petting and talking -in English and Spanish! His neighborhood and trail walks are so great for them and he’s particularly careful in all situations. Another huge plus is his special care for our older dog who needs her bladder expressed regularly due to an old injury. She gets the bladder care and healthy engagement she needs. Highly recommend his services.”


13. Nancy M.
“Nancy did a great job with Copper this Memorial Day weekend from Thursday to Monday. Copper is still a puppy and can be a handful but that didn’t seem to phase Nancy. I dropped him off on Thursday and didn’t receive any complaints about him, meaning she was able to keep him under control. Without even asking I received pictures and updates about their activities which was great to be kept in the loop. Copper was kept on his feeding schedule and walked regularly so it was a smooth transition for him. This is my 2nd time hiring Nancy and at this point I wouldn’t trust anyone else. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants the best care for their pet. 5 stars!! And don’t hesitate because I know she gets booked fast! Thank you again Nancy!”


14. Abygael P.
“Abby was great! She was very attentive responsive and my 2 dogs loved her. I would definitely hire her again. She also made sure our little dog recovering from surgery got her meds on time. 10/10”


15. Lindsay W.

“Lindsay is great! I’ve had my pup less than 2 weeks, still learning her quirks, haven’t left her alone yet, and I had tickets to a show….. Lindsay accepted my request super last minute and I am so eternally grateful. Lindsay sent me an update, a couple hours after I dropped Libelle off, and once I got Libelle home, she passed out (yay!). Highly recommend Lindsay and will definitely book with her again.”


16. Luana R.
“I have seen Luana with her own pet and with the other animals she has looked after before, and it is really amazing to see how she communicates with them as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She is beyond loving, patient, and attentive; making certain that the animals are indeed feeling secure, content, and well taken care of. It is obvious that she adores being together with pets and is able to comprehend what makes them happy and healthy. It is impossible to find someone who wouldn't be happy to get her as their pet sitter or dog walker. I strongly recommend her!”


17. Saliyah S.
“I’ve known Saliyah to always be loving towards her own dogs and any dogs in general. On multiple occasions, she has helped get lost dogs back to their owners but not before bathing them and making sure they’re fed. She often takes her dogs on walks and assures they’re properly groomed. I can’t think of a better person to have as a dog sitter!”


18. Rachel & Vassilissa R.

“Rachel and Vass were amazing pet sitters! Aurora stayed with them for a whole day and the experience was great! They sent me pictures and videos throughout the day, took her for walks, played with her and were very gentleman and lovely with her! :)”


19. Nicole B.
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful with animals! From the moment she met our pet, it was clear how much love, care, and attention she brings to everything she does. She has a natural way of connecting with animals, and our furry friend took to her instantly. Nicole is not only reliable and professional but also incredibly warm and compassionate — she treats every pet as if they were her own. Whether it was walks, playtime, or just some much-needed snuggles, Nicole went above and beyond to make sure our pet felt safe, loved, and happy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and capable hands. We can’t recommend her highly enough — she truly is a gem!”


20. Mary L.

“Great care for my Weim, with 2 walks and had access to play inside and out on deck. Her dog Nico was very friendly and I’d love to use this sitter every time!”
