16. Ellie R.
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Ellie care for our pets while we were away, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her care and dedication. Ellie is a bright, energetic, and incredibly responsible college senior at Yale University, and her love for animals shines through in everything she does. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, Ellie is experienced with animals of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who require special attention. She has a natural ability to connect with animals and has a calm, nurturing demeanor that makes them feel at ease. We were especially impressed with her experience in giving medications and handling pets with health concerns, as it gave us peace of mind knowing our pets would receive the best possible care. Ellie is also an excellent communicator—she kept us updated regularly with photos and updates on our pets, which made us feel connected while we were away. It was clear that she went above and beyond to ensure our animals were happy, safe, and comfortable in our absence. We wholeheartedly recommend Ellie as a pet sitter! Her maturity, experience, and deep love for animals make her an ideal choice for anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter.”


17. Steven & Claudia L.

“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”


18. Maja A.

“Maja was super nice and I can tell Teddy was very comfortable. I received puppy mail and she reached out with all questions. I would let Maia watch Teddy again for sure.”


19. Jieun B.

“This is our second time to book the service from Jieun. They were very nice and friendly. They sent us many pictures and videos. Miaomiao likes them and Ollie very much! I would recommend for everyone to let them take care of your pets.”


20. Monique Z.

“I'm hesitant to write how amazing Monique is because I selfishly want to keep her a secret for my baby (though seeing all over her glowing reviews the secret is obviously out ;) ). This was my first time away overnight from my 5 month old puppy who also happens to be tiny (4 lbs) and Monique completely put me at ease, sending videos and pictures of him doing just fine. I can't say how grateful I am to know I have a safe place I can bring tiny Raisin and know that he is also enjoying himself and the company. Thank you Monique (and Luppie) for taking such good care of our boy. We'll see you soon!”
