Arantxa was absolutely amazing with my dog who can be standoff-ish. Communication with her was quick and easy, she sent frequent updates including lots of pictures and videos. My pup warmed up to her very quickly. She’s kind and caring and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.

Daria was absolutely wonderful! She kept in touch and coordinated with me excellently! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and she sent so many wonderful photos with my baby cat! My cat is usually pretty shy but she cozied right up! Daria also provided updates on how much my cat was eating and if she seemed engaged. Really appreciate that. Daria also left my apartment much cleaner than I left it for her hahah!! Daria is a wonderful sitter, I absolutely recommend her if your looking for a house/pet sitter!

Erica is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog, not only following all of my directions to the letter but also giving him extra love and attention. She took him on special outings, including a fun trip to the River Yard Bar, and made sure I got plenty of photos along the way. Her communication was excellent with consistent updates, quick responses, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Erica enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter!

We love having Ana stay at our house and watch our cats and dogs. She is the first sitter who has been able to get our shy kitty to come out and let her pet him - she is a cat whisperer! She always treats out home with a lot of respect and we come home to find everything just as we left it. She also takes the cutest pics of our crew to share with us while we're away. We couldn't be happier!

Our return flight was delayed and she was flexible and stayed longer than we had originally asked making a stressful travel day a lot easier. The house was super clean as well which was a bonus! We will definitely request Tiffany again!

We have four senior dogs that require a bit more patience and care now that they are in their golden years, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Woody and will book again!

Sarah is very professional and did an outstanding job watching our 3 doggies at our home while we were on a trip abroad. She was very attentive and caring with them, having no issues maintaining needed supplements and looking out for the special needs of our blind pup. She walked them regularly, stayed in touch and sent us fun pictures. When we got home the dogs were doing great and the house was immaculate. We are so grateful to Sarah and hope she sits for us again!
