“Marie is amazing!!! My pets were thoughtfully taken care of and she provided me multiple updates and pictures while I was away! Would recommend and definitely will book again!”


“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”


“Renee went above and beyond taking care of our dog, including leaving him rose petals on Valentine's day! She provided regular updates and was sure to snuggle up with him a ton while we were away! Thank you so much for the wonderful care!!”


“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”


“Elsbeth was wonderful with our pup. She was communicative, sent frequent photos and took him on long walks/played with him to get his energy out. I’d highly recommend Elsbeth to other pet owners and look forward to booking her again!”


“Maggie house sat for us during our long weekend and everything went great! Our dog was well taken care of and the house was clean when we got back. Thanks again for everything!”


“I recently booked Julia to house sit and look after my young cat while I was on vacation. My cat hasn’t been away from me for long and I was worried about leaving her. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive, completely making me feel at ease throughout the process. She is professional, an intelligent communicator, and very gifted with animals. My cat is very shy but I could tell that she was happy and comfortable with Julia through the many pictures and videos I received. Highly recommend. Thank you Julia! I will be booking again!”


“This was the third (and longest) stay that Strider was with my 3 dogs and it was just as great as the last. He provides thorough updates, even when I’m too busy to reply, and you can tell my dogs are very comfortable with him. He leaves my home in great condition (stripping the bed, dishes in dishwasher and trash out). He’s even gone so far as to unload my dishwasher for me! Thank you so much for being reliable during this very busy month for us!!”


“Addie was great! Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people and in new places, but she seemed to trust Addie very quickly and we felt much more comfortable leaving her with someone while we went out.”


“Carrie was great! She was accommodating, communicative, and clearly loved by our two dogs, who she took care of over the holiday. She gave meds and walked them daily, sent photos, and snuggled them. She also kept the house clean and was considerate about taking the garbage out and starting the laundry. I would recommend her!”


“Ya Lun was absolutely lovely to work with and she was so great with my Lacey. She was very communicative and made sure my girl got all the care she needed. I highly recommend her!”

“Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.”


“Ariel was the absolute best. She took the best care of our little old man and I could not have asked for a better stress-free experience. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”


“Richard was was an amazing sitter! His communication was excellent and our pup Donovan had a great time while we were out of town. He left our apartment in great shape and is at the top of my list for pet sitters in the future.”


“Shereen has been absolutely WONDERFUL! Took pictures everyday and kept me informed everyday! So grateful and thankful to have found her as this was my 1st experience leaving my dog with someone!! Will definitely use her again and again !!! My dog 🐶 loved her too !!!”

“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”

Jena A.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jena! She recently dog sat my golden retriever, and from the moment they met, I could tell he was in the best hands. Jena is incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. She went above and beyond—sending me regular updates, photos, and even taking him on extra-long walks when the weather was nice. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but Jena made the whole experience stress-free and reassuring. I would trust her again in a heartbeat, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and loving dog sitter.”
