We feel so lucky to have found Alexa! She took amazing care of our pets, including giving medication to our very unhappy cat, managing our two cats who are still learning to live together, all while taking care of our dog as well. She went above and beyond in every way and treated our fur babies like family. The updates, photos, communication, and level of care were incredible. She stayed at our home and left it cleaner than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone you trust completely with your pet — we will absolutely be repeat clients!

Marsha is a regular sitter and is just great. She really connects with dogs and obviously enjoys their company. She takes long greenbelt walks with Tani-dog, tires her out playing fetch, and somehow has figured out how to trick her into giving her the ball, which is virtually impossible. She also keeps the house spotless. Thanks again, Marsha.

Melissa was amazing with my dog and pup! She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear they were both happy and well cared for. I came home to relaxed, content dogs—which says it all. I especially appreciated how comfortable I felt leaving my dog with medical needs in her care while I was on vacation. Melissa was reliable, communicative, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond and even took in my mail and packages. She left the house as neat and tidy as when she arrived. Would absolutely book her again! Highly recommend!

Aryanna was wonderful! She stayed at our home for two nights and took care of our pets — Myles (cat), Kona, and Sailer (dogs). Everything went perfectly. The house was just as we left it, and the pets were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’d absolutely have Aryanna pet sit for us again! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elle was fantastic when she watched our cat! From the very beginning, she asked all the right questions to make sure she had everything she needed to take care of him. She really cared about his wellbeing and it was clear that she understood how much we would miss him. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos and handled any small issues that came up. She was so kind and sweet throughout the whole stay. Her commitment to giving animals the best care and helping their owners feel better than ever is truly impressive. We couldn’t recommend her more! 10/10, she’s a total lifesaver!

This is the second time Rasi has taken care of our pup and home. We were traveling internationally this time and juggling quite a few scheduling and communication logistical hurdles due to time zone differences. Rasika was a dream. She was as responsive as always, if not more. Millie looked so happy on the backyard cameras when Rasika would take her out to play ball, hide and seek, and/or just be with her while she went potty. Millie’s tail was ALWAYS wagging. She looked so happy coming back from her walks and we loved getting the pictures and updates. Rasika gave us the ultimate peace of mind while we were gone. She’s simply the best!!

Jewel was great with my senior pup, Missy! She even found some creative ways to get her to eat, which I’m still doing because it worked so well. Jewel truly cared and I can’t recommend her enough! I was so nervous to leave Missy behind with someone other than family, but she was great and provided updates while I was away.

Gavin stayed at our house for 10 days and took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat. Each requires daily meds, and he administered them flawlessly. They were happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned. He was proactive and communicative, and it felt great to know our animals were in good hands while we were gone. He also handled an unexpected exterminator visit, offered to stay an extra night when we thought a flight delay would keep us from getting home, and left the house tidy. Would highly recommend booking with Gavin!

Brandon was fantastic! Every detail of my embarrassingly long list of instructions was followed to a T. Unlike with a few sitters in the past, I never had to wonder if he was actually spending any time with them because I was consistently updated with beautiful portrait photos and funny texts about what they were up to. My home was cleaner than when I left it, and I came home to two very happy pups.

Haleigh was absolutely incredible with my cat Lemon. She has separation anxiety and hates when I go out of town. Haleigh made her feel so loved and taken care of that when I got home she acted like I hadn’t even left her. She went above and beyond. Always sent me updates on their day, was very communicative of her schedule, sent pictures every day. Could not recommend her more. I will definitely be using her again◡̈

As always Caroline has delivered the care and number of belly rubs required to keep our dog happy and healthy while we were away. I love the updates and have enjoyed watching as our dog has continued to feel at ease in her company. Caroline now gets to experience all the little quirks we love most about our dog. Caroline is a great guest, keeps the house clean despite the inevitable puppy fluff, and we're so happy to have her as our Rover.
