“Omar was a wonderful sitter for my dog. I am very glad I found him. He sent me timely updates with photos of what he was doing to keep my dog happy and he followed all the directions I left for him. I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly use him again to watch my pup.”
“Felicia did a great job taking care of my fur babies! I am fortunate to have Felicia as our pet sitter again; knowing they are in good loving hands! Her communication & pet photography skills are excellent too. Coming home to a clean house & happy cats/dog is so wonderful! I highly recommend Felicia! Thank you Felicia!!”
“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”
“This is the third time Don has stayed with our dogs and I know they’re getting excellent care. Don sends pictures and updates and leaves our house spotless. Couldn’t ask for a better dog- and housesitter!”
“Jeffrey saved the day with our anxious pup during a recent stay - while helping us sort out a FedEx delivery AND a problem with our deadbolt! He goes far above and beyond anything one should expect from a sitter and delivered amazing care for our dog who needed to be coaxed into eating and drinking while we were away. He’s also a great communicator who will keep you informed and share lots of pet photos and videos. Recommend Jeffrey highly, but please leave some time on his schedule for us! 😂 He’s a keeper!”
“Sanya was amazing with my pets. I usually get anxious leaving my senior cat with someone else because he has upper respiratory difficulties and requires meds . She did a great job keeping me informed and was attentive to their needs. The house was so clean when we got back as well.”
“Jenny was very attentive and communicative while watching the dog and house, and also when scheduling. Everything was in good shape when I returned. She made sure to ask lots of questions about the dog's lifestyle/habits/quirks/challenges, and took plenty of notes when I walked through the procedures with her.”
“They went above and beyond what I asked them to do. I know my dog was in good hands entire time she was with them. I would definitely recommend them and I will definitely use them again.”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful. She handled my two large rambunctious dogs like a pro and I got lots of pics while I was away, which were so comforting knowing they were in great hands. She even administered meds when one of them unexpectedly got an ear infection. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again when I need to travel again.”
“Thelma did a great job taking care of our three cats while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive and followed our directions perfectly.”
“Addie did a great job caring for our two high-maintenance pups for 5 nights. She provided daily updates with photos. We were really able to enjoy our vacation not having to worry about our pets or home. Thanks, Addie!”
“Trustworthy and reliable! We needed a pet sitter for our cat and dog for week, and Alon (Sherm) was on top of everything. Daily medication, potty breaks and cuddles included. Great communication and instructions followed. Will definitely book again for my future pet sitting needs.”
“Dee Dee was a great sitter! She is very reliable, and responsive. She took great care of my pup and my home. I was in a potential bind and she was willing to extend her stay last minute if I needed it.”
“Sabria was a lifesaver during our weeklong vacation over Fourth of July week. She stayed at our house with our dog and cat for a full week and took such great care of everything. Our dog is nervous and slow to warm up, and she was so caring and patient with him. Our cat can also be a picky customer and he was accepting head rubs from her almost right away. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week and had great communication. She was very graceful during some technical difficulties with the house that were completely our fault. And she left the house spotless! She is an all around kind, compassionate person and we felt very comfortable knowing she was taking care of things while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Sabria for house and pet sitting and dog walking. She is the best!”
“Mia was absolutely wonderful! I felt comfortable with her the moment we met. Her communication with us was great.Dusty was in great company. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve spent 20 years caring for dogs, having grown up with them and been actively involved in their care from a young age. My passion for dogs has only ever grown over the years, and I now have two of my own who are a huge part of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’m committed to providing the same level of love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets. I currently work full time but I am able to spend morning and afternoons with your pet(s) and all day weekend’s. I am happy to accommodate your needs as I am able to. I am happy to walk your dogs on a leash around your neighborhood or play with them in your yard with their favorite toys. Please let me know if you have any special requests.
“I came home to two happy and healthy doggies after a trip out of town. I did not worry for one minute about the quality of care they were being provided as Tara went above and beyond. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be working with her again!”
“Pilar did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and cat. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, especially at first when our animals were still a bit unsure. Yielding our 65 and 95 lb dogs isn’t always the easiest and she seemed to do a wonderful job taking care of them and making them comfortable. She even left us a goodie basket for our pets for when we got home. Definitely give her a shot if you need someone to watch your fur babies ☺️”

One time she even had to give one of our dogs medicine and was very attentive and responsible in doing so. Something else that makes her stand out as a dog sitter, is that she sent me pictures of my dogs while she was caring for them, which I thought was super sweet! If you are looking for someone to watch your pets, Lauren J. Is an excellent choice!”
