1. Katherine T.

“Bella was happy and safe, which made me very happy. It was great to know that I didn’t have to worry about my dog all day when I was attending a funeral.”


2. Lucy F.

“Lucy was the perfect sitter for our 2.5 year old standard poodle Tulip. She provided the perfect balance of exercise, play, cuddles and mental stimulation. Lucy is obviously a gentle and caring animal lover and a complete professional to boot. We were given regular updates, photos and videos of our girl, making our trip away that much more enjoyable. Our home was also incredibly clean and neat when we returned, and she even left a heartwarming note for us! We hope to book Lucy’s service again very soon. Don’t hesitate to reach out to this fantastic sitter!”


3. Rebecca S.

“Rebecca was great with our girls as they were happy as can be when we got home. She kept us up to date and sent awesome pictures. Would trust her anytime!”


4. Dahn P.

“Great communication about the dogs, she asked good questions and jept in contact throughout. Sending photos and updates. As I haven't left my dogs before it helped me feel less anxious.”


5. Kira D.

“Kira is a wonder house/dog sitter! During our meet and greet she was thoughtful and considerate. She immediately bonded with our two dogs and they settled down right away. She listened to everything I had to say about their different personalities and was so respectful and attentive the whole time. We will definitely ask her back! Hey”


6. Ian W.

“Ian's first housesitting with Carson went very well. He was dedicated to Carson's health and safety especially since there were unexpected thunderstorms. Ian comforted Carson throughout the day and night with lots of care, hugs and belly rubs. Ian was in communication each day and sent pictures as well. Carson had an added play date with Hailey too. Ian was respectful in our home and left it clean. All great qualities when someone is caring for your pet and staying in your home.”


7. Emily C.

“I highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs. She took wonderful care of my two dogs—one almost 15 yo super-senior, and one lively but somewhat fearful 3 yo. She shared pictures, provided status updates, and left my home tidy and clean after her 3 night stay with them. A warm and professional animal care provider!”


8. camila s.

“Camila took great care of our dog, Waffles, giving him plenty of walks and capturing adorable photos of him. Camila was also very flexible, extending her sitting service by an extra day when our flight changed. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


9. Jen N.

“There is no one better than Jen…she treats our dogs like her own family and always leaves our place so tidy after house sittings. Our dogs love her and don’t ever leave her side when she’s here! Communication is also always great and there’s no reason to book anyone else but Jen!”


10. Heather M.

“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”




11. Natalia S.


“Natalia took care of my Theodore today and she is absolutely amazing. She played with him and kept him company. I also appreciate that she sends pictures and updates me. She communicates effectively and is reliable. I highly recommend her!!”


12. Daira M.


“Daira was great with our 2 dogs. She went above and beyond taking them on hikes and playing fetch every day. She also took excellent care of the house even cleaning sheets and towels upon leaving. Highly recommend her!”


13. Ingrid H.
“Ingrid came into our lives about 5 years ago and what a fortunate event that proved to be. My pets consider her as their personal friend as I appreciate the way she treats and understands them each with individual respect and attention. This wonderful lady is honest, reliable, and compassionate, with a strong work ethic, Her knowledge and experience with animals is evident and I can always depend on her opinions or physical care. My precious Yorkie has never been so well groomed. My 16 year old pit bull hangs on for her visits when she takes him for a walk! Ingrid is uniquely qualified to be a dog sitter and you and your pets will benefit from her care.”


14. Morgan K.
“Morgan is a kind, responsible, and loving person. All of these qualities make her such an amazing person when she works with animals. She has worked with some of the smallest pets such as rats, to some of the largest pets such as great danes. She has watched and taken care of my pets as well as our friends pets and she always does an amazing job!”


15. Nicholas S.
“Nick has watched my large dog (100lbs) many times and I never have to worry! He is always well take care of upon my return and typically would rather stay with Nick than come home with me! 🤣 highly recommend!”


16. becca M.

“It was hard for us to leave our dog Stella over Christmas but we felt assured knowing she was in good hands with Becca. The house was in good order when we returned and Stella was happy. Becca responded right away to texts and sent pictures during our time away. I recommend Becca highly. She is responsible, dependable, and nurturing.”


17. Desiree D.
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals for 25 years, including my own my daughter’s, my mom’s and friends animals. My daughter is a vet tech so I always have someone to call in case of an emergency when it comes to an animal. I currently work full-time, but I work early in the morning so I get out early in the afternoon with two full days of no work week I have a huge yard with dog runners for them to go outside. I do own a small dog, Shih Tzu female named Winnie who loves everyone and other animals


18. Esmeralda M.
“Esmeralda is truly an angel with animals. She is patient, loving, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe and happy. Every time she watches my dog, I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such great hands. Esmeralda treats every pet like her own, and it really shows. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter!”


19. Dolores P.

“Dolores was awesome. She is responsible, reliable, respectful and honest. We left our home and our fur baby in her care and she sent updates, texts, pictures throughout the week. Highly recommend!!”


20. Beth B.
“There are ZERO words that capture just how AMAZING Beth and her husband Mark are! We left our not-so-small pittie babies with them for 2 weeks while we traveled - not an easy feat trusting anyone for that long as I’m sure you can imagine. Nope! They put all concerns to ease - constant communication, so many pictures and videos, treated our babies just like their babies with massages and everything. Called immediately when there was a slight issue with Henry’s allergies and were ready to act as needed (thankfully it was nothing). PLUS they left our home in perfect, pristine condition. Do not look any further fellow pet owner! Book them. Just not so much that they are not available for our two. : ))”
