“Travis went above and beyond while watching my babies. You can tell that he loves dogs and enjoys watching them. Communicated very well and and sent lots of pictures with his updates. 10/10 experience!”


“Ashley is so great! She sent so many updates and cute pictures of our girl! Really appreciate her quick responsiveness. On top of it all she cleaned our house and gave Swiff a groom before we came back! What a great way to come home!”


“Amazing dog-sitter, unselfish, goes above and beyond, loves animals (my dog, at least). I am VERY thankful for having Timothy be my dog-sitter for 5-6 days. I am almost worried my dog will leave me for him haha…💯”


“Selen is extremely professional and thorough. My pup loves her! She treats my house with respect and care. She is very reliable and will continue booking pet sitting with her! She’s amazing!!”


“Andrea did a house sit for our 2 cats for 3 nights after a quick meet & greet. I could tell right away from the meet & greet that she knew her way around cats and that my cats felt at ease around her. She was so great and we felt relaxed and at ease on vacation knowing she was with them. She was able to give our 14 year old cat her medicine, which is not the easiest thing, without issue. She followed all the instructions and sent us some really great pics of our kitties. We will definitely be re-booking and as frequent travelers having a trusted long-term sitter that gets to know our house and cats is very important to us so we are beyond happy to have met Andrea!”


“Jackie is absolutely phenomenal—I cannot recommend her highly enough! My dog lovvvveedddd her and her dog, Coco (which is saying a lot, because my dog usually doesn’t like other dogs). Jackie is incredibly organized and accommodating. I felt completely at ease leaving Roo in her care while we traveled abroad, even with Roo’s medical needs. She sent us daily pictures and was always communicative. We loved her and will 100% be reaching out again in the future!”



“Sandi did an awesome job! She definitely went above and beyond to make sure my dog was cared for. Also she took great pics and gave daily updates, which really put my mind at ease. Would definitely hire her again!”


“Diana stayed at my home and took fantastic care of my cats and senior dog! She was very conscientious about checking in and sending photo updates. I am grateful she was also able to modify the reservation at the last minute when my flight back home was canceled and stay an additional day.”


“Lizzy truly loves our dogie. We can't thank her enough for all the attention and TLC. Lizzy is reliable, communicates timely, and is super respectful of our home.”


“Bailey took great care of my dog! She sent lots of pictures, was great at communicating with me the whole time she was watching her and also kept me updated on how she was doing especially since my dog just got out of the emergency vet right before I left for my vacation. I would definitely have Bailey watch my dog again and highly recommend her!”


“Raquel was incredible, she took excellent care of both our dogs and our house while also sending regular updates. We are looking forward to using Raquel again in the future!”


“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Adolfo walk my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He was incredibly attentive to my dog's needs, ensuring that cash(my dog) felt safe and comfortable throughout the walk. It was clear his genuine love for animals and understands how to connect with them. My dog returned home happy and relaxed, which is all I could ask for. I highly recommend Adolfo for anyone in need of a responsible and caring dog walker!”


“Lidia was perfect for my 3 weeks away in Asia. I have a senior Shih tzu and need someone who can stay in my house so that it is most comfortable for my aging dog. Lidia sent me photos and videos almost daily and my sweet Lulu looked so happy with her temporary mom that she became Lulu’s step mama! Lidia also has a small senior dog that stayed over and kept Lulu company. The two of them together were adorable. I will continue booking Lidia. She was more than what I imagined. My time away was completely stress free knowing my baby was happy and cared for.”


“Ashley was perfect. Her communication was great. She consistently sent updates on Bishop with pictures and videos. She was extremely thorough. Ashley treated my home and pet with care and respect. I came home to a happy dog. Could not recommend her enough.”
