“Lana was great with Artie and Holly! When I got home they were totally relaxed and I could tell they had a peaceful weekend. Would definitely recommend Lana and use her again.”
2. Jennifer G.
“Such a beautiful thing to have Jennifer house sit again, and be the best friend my cat could ask for! He’s a very sensitive cat, feels it all with his whiskers, so seeing him happy and healthy after two long weeks away is such a gift. Jennifer’s just a wonderful person, kind and skillful, and my cat and I are major fans. Loved seeing the photos, and updates, and I know that Jen went above and beyond to make sure my cat was safe, healthy, and playing as much as possible. And the place was in good shape too! Can’t say enough positive things about this house/catsit with Jennifer, and how much it means to me. She did a great job and we’re so grateful!”
3. Mae C.
“Mae is fantastic. She was super communicative the entire time we were away, sent plenty of pictures and got our fur babies on plenty of long walks. She took great care of them and of our home. She is fantastic.”
4. Adriana U.
“Adri is amazing! Could not recommend her enough. We have two dogs that we had never had a sitter for and we were concerned they would be a lot to handle, each with their own tricky quirks. Since one is only 6 months old, we still have a hard time ourselves at times and we needed someone to mind them for a whole week. But the week went by without issue and we had a steady stream of really great pictures of them as a bonus. We also came back to our place looking better than we left it. We are super grateful to have made the connection and would not hesitate to have Adri sit them again.”
5. Mikaela T.
“Mikaela was STELLAR. She was open to working with all our training needs while watching over our pup and was very skilled at it. Our dog can be pretty anxious so Mikaela's calm confidence was exactly what she needed. We will be regularly working with Mikaela!”
6. Danny B.
“Danny was fantastic with our dog. He went above and beyond to ensure she was walked thoroughly and taken care of per our instructions. He sent multiple pictures and always was a fantastic communicator. Cannot recommend enough!”
7. Frankie K.
“Frankie is a terrific pet-sitter—very friendly, very thoughtful and always trustworthy. She has stayed over at our apartment a few times now and she always communicates thoroughly with us every day that we’re away, sending wonderful photos of our two cats. The cats (and the apartment) always look great when we get back. It’s nice knowing the cats are in such good hands. We recommend her very highly!”
8. Meric P.
“Meric made me feel so much better about having to leave my pups! He sent pictures regularly and when I got home, the boys were happy and relaxed! It takes the stress out of having to be away from my dogs.”

10. Savannitty M.

11. Josefa V.
“Josefa was awesome! She not only took excellent care of Ura and provided updates throughout the day, but she also gave us great tips to care for her. Looking forward to rebooking her!”

“August stayed with my 18 year old cat and all went well. He stayed in touch and left the house clean with sheets washed. I’ll definitely use him again.”

17. Nelson L.

18. Kimberli B.
“Kimberli was the first person we've had care for our new puppy, and I am thrilled to say it went wonderfully! Kimberli communicated as necessary throughout the evening and put me at ease when I checked in to make sure everything was going ok. She's an incredibly capable and competent dog sitter and a lovely human being. We will be working with her again. Hubie insists!”
19. Giovanni L.
“Gio has been walking and dog-sitting my dog, Frankie, for more than five years. He is always punctual and extremely reliable. Frankie is quite reactive and needs a walker who is attentive and alert at all times, able to avoid stressful situations as much as possible, and Gio is a pro! They are total buds and having Gio with her gives me peace of mind.”
