“Thank you so much Diego for taking care of the girls. Without your help, I would not have been able to take the very important trip. Gertie and Gretchen will definitely miss having you here with them!”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“Alayza is a dog whisperer! She’s amazing, kind and patient. My dog has big stranger danger and fear aggression when meeting someone new and it seems he warmed up to her pretty quickly. By the second day he was cuddling with her and letting her pet him! I highly recommend Alayza!”
“Dahlya was an incredible find for our wedding and honeymoon! She gave us great updates and pictures, and the house was spotless when we returned home. Our pets are so happy and cared for and we'll definitely look to book her in the future!”
“10/10 would recommend! It can be a hit or miss finding a reliable sitter. I was sad when my old pet sitter moved away but then I found Carol! First and foremost Carol obviously cares about the well-being and comfort of your pets. She checks off all my boxes of what I look for in a sitter and it also helps that she sends cute updates and pics throughout the day. When I got home my place was as I left it and most importantly my dog and two cats were calm, as if I never left. I would definitely recommend Carol and I look forward to (hopefully) using her in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”
“Chantel is an amazing communicator! Sent us pics everyday of our kitties and made sure to keep us updated! Such a sweetheart, will book with her again, and you should too!”
“Aliyah stayed at our house to take care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She was great -- responsive and reliable. Our dog and cat were very happy when we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“William was fabulous! He watched our two wild puppies and crazy cat in our apartment over the weekend. We came home to a cleaner apartment than we left and three happy content pets! We will be keeping his contact information close!”
“María was kind and attentive to my senior dog while I was away. She was communicative and sent regular updates, and I returned to a happy dog. I would rebook and feel confident my dog was in good hands.”
“Jayla was amazing, she took great care of my furry best friend and my home. She sent regular, wonderful updates so I could tell my pup was happy and safe, and allowed me to really enjoy my time away. I would absolutely trust her to watch my pup again and recommend her!!”
“My puppy warmed up to Michelle right away! Michelle was nice and easy to deal with. She was on time and quickly understood how to access our building.”
“Corinne was a fantastic weekend house sitter. I'll admit, it was a bit nerve-racking for me to leave my dogs with someone else. It's been a long time since I've needed a house sitter, and I was unsure who I could rely on to not only give my pets (two dogs and a snake) good care, but also ensure that the house was ok. Corinne was a great fit and made the whole process easy. She came by ahead of time to learn the layout of the house, to meet me and my critters, and to answer all the questions I had. And during her stay, she kept reassuring me by being extra communicative. She sent me a steady stream of photos and updates, so I knew all was going well and didn't have to worry. My dogs were incredibly well cared for and my house is just as I left it. I will definitely book Corinne again!”
“Rebecca was great! So patient with our little grumpy guy and always available to answer any questions. We will definitely have her take care of our big again!”
“Bradley was so great with my puppy. I never used Rover before and was nervous having someone else watch my pup and be in my house, but Bradley was amazingly and my pup was well taken care of. Sent pics of my pup out and playing which made me feel much more comfortable. Will def book again !”
“MJ was outstanding. Our regular sitter wasn't able to watch our dogs for our 10-day vacation, but MJ was able to step-in and take care of them like they were her own. She also took care of our tortoise and watered our plants while we were gone. I can't recall the last time I was on vacation and not worrying about our dogs back home. I would book MJ again in a heartbeat.”
