“Zachary was a great caretaker for Lux! Super responsive and flexible and listened well to the needs of our dog. He also sent some wonderfully hilarious photos when he took her to the dog park! Overall, a great experience.”
“Daniel did a fantastic job caring for my 92 pound dog Rudy. Daniel played with him, walk him, and gave him attention. I feel that Rudy will miss him, I would recommend Daniel to care for any pet large or small. Ron, Rudy‘s owner”
“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”
“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”

I highly recommend Courtney!”

“My dog Mya had a wonderful weekend at Matthew’s! He was so accommodating and understanding of her anxieties, which is very appreciated! Communication was great, I loved getting pictures and updates of her all weekend! Would definitely recommend, and would book again!”
“Charlie spent two weeks with Lisa and was so comfortable and well taken care of. We were able to fully log offline and relax knowing he was in good hands! Multiple daily updates with photos and occasional videos. Charlie is a senior dog with separation anxiety so we were very worried about leaving him for so long and finding a sitter who would accommodate his joint problems and medication needs. Lisa was great about his routine and attentive to our requests!”
“Initially we were hesitant to use Rover but Sheryl has eased our concerns. We’ve used Sheryl twice for multiple day boardings, and we couldn’t be happier with her services. She gives us daily updates (including pics) on how our dog is doing, and is very understanding of our dog’s needs. And when we pick her up, she’s happy and energetic. We will be using her again for sure!”

Pillie & Kevin A.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Pillie as an outstanding and deeply compassionate pet caregiver. Pillie has been caring for my mom’s dog, Luna, for some time now—sometimes during the day, in the afternoons, and occasionally even for overnight stays—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love, responsibility, and professionalism she brings every single time. Luna is a sweet but sometimes anxious dog, and Pillie has a truly special way with her. She takes the time to understand Luna’s emotional needs, and it shows. Whether it’s helping Luna through one of her reverse sneeze episodes with a calm, steady presence, or simply knowing how to soothe her when she’s feeling unsettled, Pillie consistently demonstrates the kind of care that only someone who genuinely loves animals can provide. One of the things we especially appreciate is how attentive Pillie is to Luna’s health and well-being. She goes above and beyond to ensure Luna gets her necessary daily bowel movements—even adding an extra walk or opting for a longer one when needed. It’s not just about checking boxes for Pillie; it’s about truly caring for the animal in her charge. Her communication is excellent. Whether it’s a quick update text, a sweet photo of Luna on a walk, or letting us know how Luna is doing after a sleepover, Pillie always keeps us in the loop. That consistent and thoughtful communication has built a deep sense of trust and peace of mind that is truly priceless when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care. Pillie is not only reliable and professional—she’s become someone we deeply trust with Luna, and that trust was earned through her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. We’re lucky to have her in Luna’s life.”

Doris is an excellent dog sitter. She is very friendly, responsive to information requests, and considerate to pets. Yoshi had a very good time with her and her dog, Spooky.
Adri was excellent! So kind with our pup, sent sweet updates and was very accommodating. Highly recommend
Zachary was really fantastic! Took great care and was so responsive and flexible. Would recommend and will call again! Our dog had a great time.
This was my first trip away from my 6 month puppy and I was worried about the separation. Joe was very responsive and sent updates and pictures, which helped ease my mind. My puppy came back happy and cared for.
Words can’t express how grateful we are for Sierra! She took such amazing care of our fur baby. Her communication was always on point . She sent us picture and video updates every day and night. Our baby was well taken care of, walked, and played with. I truly have no words! I would absolutely recommend Sierra to any family in need of a loving and reliable pet sitter.
First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10
Matt took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. He sent photos, and was communicative throughout our dog's stay. We will for sure be asking Matt to watch our pup in the future!
Isabel and her husband were great sitters! They were super flexible and were able to accommodate our crazy vacation schedule with ease. I appreciated the thoughtful and detailed updates about my dog, Rhody. Rhody is very shy and Isabel did a great job of letting Rhody warm up to her and her family. She also enjoyed long walks with them! Overall Isabel was great and id use her again!
I can’t say enough about how amazing Susan is. I needed to find a new sitter after my person of 5 years retired. After reading Susan’s reviews, my husband and I took our dog for a meet and greet. Within 5 minutes of talking to her we knew this was our person. Susana sent us daily updates and pictures. This was so comforting for us we were overseas and missing our dog. We are already talking about our next family vacation and before I book the flights, I will be booking Susan.
Jack was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with him and he took great care of her. He communicated well with us and gave us updates and videos of Bella every few hours. It was clear that she had bonded with him! We will definitely leave Bella with Jack again in the future. We highly recommend him.
Our dog had a wonderful stay at Sheryl’s. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while traveling abroad.
Michelle took amazing care of my puppy Butter during her stay! Butter came home happy, well-fed, and clearly loved. Michelle kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate the attention and care she gave—Butter can't wait to visit again! I’m already looking forward to my next getaway knowing Butter is in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾
Kat is unbelievable. Truly an expert when it comes to dogs. Have an old dog and she did everything my pup needed. Plus loving and efficient. Would absolutely book her again!
Tammy is just the best. Not only was she knowledgeable and responsible with our pup, she was kind and loving as well. Our experience couldn’t have been better.
Hailey was great! She was communicative and sent me daily pictures for Jack’s stay with her. She even accommodated an additional night sitting him cause our trip ran one day longer than expected which was amazing of her! In short, Hailey had a great vibe, Jack was so well taken care of, and if we go out of town again I will be crossing my fingers that she is available to watch him! 💜🐕🐾
Katie has been amazing! She accepted Marco on short notice after a previous booking was cancelled by the caretaker. Katie has kept me informed of Marco’s activities and provided photos everyday. She is trustworthy and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone.
Yenniffer was great with watching Bella. Loved how fast she responded to txts and let my husband and I know how great our pup was doing. I will definitely use her again! Thank you ❤️
As always Christopher and his wonderful family were amazing! He is always extremely responsive and accommodating when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog! She loves her time with them! We will never use anyone else for our dog sitting needs!!! 10 stars!!
