Jack was great with Zuri, he took good care of her. Sent updates, let me know about concerns with her stool and was very pleasant to work with! Will definitely be using his services again.

Mike loves dogs and cats! He is very caring, playful, and responsible. He is also active so he will be great at exercising your pets! But of course he’s always down to snuggle and play with them too.

Grant made fast friends with my cat who's normally very shy around strangers. He sends detailed updates and lots of photos, and was great about watching the litter boxes since my cat has had urinary issues in the past. I was able to relax on vacation knowing my cat was in excellent hands and I won't hesitate to work with Grant again in the future. Thank you!

Lauren took great care of my two kitties while I was away for a few days. Leaving them is always hard, but I felt so confident leaving them in her care. She made sure to play with them and sent the best photos so I didn't miss their cute faces!

Anneli is a super petsitter. She has an incredible bond with dogs. Our beagle, Willow, was incredibly nervous, trembling even, when Anneli arrived for her first visit during our absence. However, Anneli was undaunted, and by the third visit Willow was greeting Anneli at the door with kisses and wagging her entire body. Willow has an elaborate medication schedule, which required Anneli to administer multiple meds during each visit. She exucuted this task flawlessly. She also sent me multiple pics and comments each visit, which gave me confidence that Willow was in good hands. I recommend Anneli highly. She is a caring and highly competent pet caregiver. I will definitely hire her again!

Laurie and Jim are simply amazing. Our dogs took to them immediately, as if they had always known them. Laurie and Jim's attention towards our dogs made our dogs feel as if Mom and Dad had never left.

Toni is such a loving person in general but she really takes care of her fur babies like her children. She is constantly going out of her way to help people and animals alike. One time she even took my dog to the vet for me because she thought my veterinarian wasn't diagnosing my dog right and she was right. My dog had skin cancer and had to have a toe removed. She took her to the surgery for me and made sure I knew how to take care of her post-op. I'd trust my dogs with her anytime!

My wife and I took a 6 day trip to Aruba and Jessica could not have been a better person to have for multiple daily drop ins. She was prompt, responsive, took amazing care of our 12 year old Lola and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a very patient and caring dog person. Simply outstanding.

There’s no better person to watch over your fur baby than Christine. Every animal is a friend to her, whether they’re a dog, cat, lizard or raccoon. Whenever she is tasked with something, she’ll do it with 100% effort. She is empathetic, detail oriented, and respectful. Your baby will be safe, happy and kept healthy in Christine’s care.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. My childhood dog developed seizures in his old age and I took care of him until he passed at the age of 15. I now have a 3 year old menace Chow-Labrador-Golden mix that I have had since he was a puppy. I trained him and also had to take care of multiple health issues he had as a puppy. I will be diligent in ensuring your pup has the best experience they can have in my care. I am currently a full time student, with 3 off days during the week. I am available on any days I don’t have school as well as weekends. I will ensure that your pup is always in the safest situation they can be while on walks. I will not force them to do anything they don’t want to do, and be diligent about watching for any signs they may give me. I promise to care for them like I do my own dog.

Emily was great! She came out for a visit beforehand to make sure our pets were comfortable with her and made everything super easy while we were away. She sent emails and updates and made us feel confident that our pets were getting top notch care. We hope to use her for our pet needs in the future! Thank you Emily!

Search from hundreds of trusted pet sitters near you, read sitter profiles, and reach out to sitters who seem like a good fit for you and your pet(s). We know it can be tough to leave your pet, which is why we encourage every pet parent and sitter to have a Meet & Greet before booking the stay.
