Karachi took outstanding care of my two pups in my home while we were away. She sent regular updates with adorable pics and videos, which put my mind at ease that all was well. One of my dogs was getting over an ear infection and she dutifully administered his meds and ear wash. Not only did we return home to happy dogs, but Karachi left the house spotlessly clean. We will definitely plan to book again with Karachi and would recommend her completely!

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience (and a lifetime of having pets of my own), I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s pets, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and needs. I offer flexible scheduling, plenty of play and attention, and top-quality care, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s specific bathroom and feeding routines. I’m available for boarding starting after 4pm on weekdays and after 12pm on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always follow your preferences and routines. I live on a quiet street with easy access to safe outdoor areas for regular potty walks and fresh air.

Kymberlee is very responsible and professional. She housesat for me and looked after my dog over the weekend, and I was very grateful for her capable demeanor and experience, especially because my dog had a recent injury and needed extra attention. She left my apartment in much better shape than she found it, and she dropped everything to help after I realized I’d left my ID at home while I was traveling. She is truly a class act, professional individual, and I highly recommend her.

Always amazing with my dogs! One of my pups was suffering from an upset stomach the night before my trip and Oriana went out of her way to feed her a special diet of pumpkin all week. I really appreciate when a sitter goes out of their way to take care of my senior pets 🙏❤️

Renee was lovely. She seemed to have a visceral, almost immediate rapport with my dog, Romeo. Perhaps because she wasn’t glued to a smartphone or distracted by any screen whatsoever, Renee responded promptly to my queries and communications. A very unusual scenario these days I think. Her opinions and observations stemmed from years of experience and success in the field and were a comfort to hear. I would gladly hire her again.

About: I've been around pets my entire life. I grew up with at least two dogs in the household at all times and have learned to care for them as puppies until it was their time to go. I am often asked to care for family and friends' animals I work remote full time, so my availability is open. I can be available on short notice for anything from a simple walk around the neighborhood to overnight care. Like humans, pets have their personalities, and I will be sure to care for them. If they are energetic and love to play, so am I. If they are in their senior years, I will tend to their needs and give them what they need and deserve.

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!

I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful—we couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter. She stayed with our two miniature schnauzers for four days and took exceptional care of both the dogs and our home. We’ve had some not-so-great experiences with Rover in the past, so we were honestly a bit hesitant going in—but Sarah immediately put us at ease. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. We came home to two very happy pups and a house that was just as we left it. Truly a seamless experience from start to finish. 10/10—we will absolutely be using her again for all of our pet sitting needs!

Renee was very attentive and enthusiastic. Heidi had a park walk, a visit to Renee’s home and to an outdoor bar during her overnight stay. She was attentive to my handout and left the house spotless. I was glad we had an early meet&greet, since she was unable to come when we departed but came later.

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.

I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Katherine took care of our dog in our home while we were away - if she had not been available we wouldn't have booked the tickets. The steady stream of communication, pictures and reassurances (our dog is not the easiest to care for) were amazing. We came home to a healthy and happy dog - who didn't seem to have overly missed us if I'm honest - and tidy home - with flowers on the table to welcome us back. We couldn't be happier with - well - literally everything about how she looked after our dog.

Claire was easy-going, attentive and responsible, despite having to take a final exam during the days when she was house sitting. She was always flexible about meeting up before the pet sitting began. She kept my beloved dog and cat alive and well while I was out of town, which was my main priority. But she also paid attention to their moods, appetites (or lack thereof) and individual needs, which I greatly appreciated. My place was so clean when I returned, it was almost as if she wasn't even here! Thank you, Claire!

We have a senior dog with stranger anxiety and multiple daily medications and Karuna was wonderful with him. She was really patient and gave him time to warm up to her during a couple meet and greet visits, and then followed his lead when she was house sitting to ensure he felt comfortable with her. Karuna was very communicative and provided frequent updates including photos so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that our dog was well cared for.
