“Ellie was incredibly attentive and responsive while house sitting my cat and dog. Couldn’t have asked for better pet care while on my vacation, highly recommend and would love to work with again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My parents have had dogs all of their life and growing up I was taught how to take care of them on my own. I will make sure your pup feels safe, and loved while you are away. I work fully remote Monday- Friday and work a side job on Monday night and Wednesday night. I can work from your house and take care of the pets as long as there is WiFi! I currently live in an apartment with my partner with our dog and cat. I usually will walk our dog around the block. He is a little shy with other dogs so I would just come over to your house and walk your dog then!
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

“Maya was amazing! She is very kind, responsible, reliable and nurtured and loved on my 5-month-old kitty like she was her own. She was excellent with communication; my kitten went into heat while I was on vacation, and she was a pro at monitoring the situation and giving me any need-to-know updates. She also sent me adorable pictures of my very blissed and relaxed fur baby. It was a wonderful piece of mind knowing that my kitty was in Maya's care while I was away. She left the home immaculately clean as well.”

“I cannot say enough about how amazing Delaney was. She stayed with our old lady English bulldog and made sure she was given her meds, loved on, and all around taken care of while we were gone. Delaney kept in touch with me throughout the week and even when we got home, she had everything cleaned and notes on how the week went, including tracking her medicines and when it was given. Above and beyond- so happy we found her!”
“This is our 2nd time using Sophie for in home dog sitting. Sophie engages, plays and loves Luna while caring for her & also sends updates and pictures often. Our dog is always happy and very well taken care of.”

“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”

“Jayla accommodated our last minute request. Great communication throughout the days we were away and lots of fun pictures for our peace of mind. We will be looking to book with Jayla again in the future!”

“Cailey was super communicative, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. She provided great updates throughout, and my dog seemed genuinely happy in her care. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter, and I would absolutely book her again.”


“Bri was fantastic with our rambunctious cat Sebastian- he warmed up to her much quicker than he does for other people. Bri was very communicative, letting us know regularly how he was doing and sending picture updates during her stay watching our place and cat. We really appreciated it and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks Bri!”

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!
“Heath was amazing! I have hired other sitters but no one has been better than him so far! He was always updating us about our pets (two dogs and one cat) and was very present while we were away. One of my dogs gets anxious when left alone for too long and Heath made sure to be at my house as much as he could. I asked him to stay at our house and he was very respectful to our property. I highly recommend his services!”

“Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!”


“Mackenzi did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She was a thoughtful dog and house sitter! Everything was cleaned up and the pups were well cared for! Hope to have her back again!”


“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was so detailed and thoughtful in her communication with us, and I felt so comforted knowing that she was looking after our pups. She also helped us out when we had a last minute travel delay & came to check on our dogs on short notice. Truly the best! Will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals. Our pets make up a large part of our lives, and I'm happy to care for your loved ones while you are unable to. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to support with last-minute requests at all hours of the day. With my flexibility, I can ensure that your pet receives the best care. I keep several things in mind including the owner’s requests/preferences, the temperament of the dog, as well as ensuring that the dog remains comfortable at all times.

About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!
“Sam was absolutely awesome taking care of my Dixie and Tobi. She stayed in my house for 11 days with them and they loved her. She is caring and pays very close attention to detail. I highly recommend Sam. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my babies.”

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our dogs when we were traveling and working this past week. She gave consistent updates with pictures and we came home to happy dogs.”

Amanda was great with my anxious pitty mix who is aggressive with other dogs. She was very communicative and scheduled a meet n greet on short notice. She asked lots of questions and made sure she was prepared for the overnight stay at our place. Highly recommend!

We've been working with Bri for years for one-time/recurring pet visits, so it felt natural she would be the best person to call on for house sitting our golden doodle while were away on vacation. She was highly responsive, sent us fantastic updates daily, and left the place immaculate. We also appreciated the time she took to do a walkthrough of our house so we could show her any quirks or answer any questions. All in all, Bri is always our first choice for pet sitting!

Kaiya is amazing!!! I was so nervous to leave our pup for the first time (just a month after adopting him), but Kaiya made me feel so at ease leaving him with her. She was so patient and caring with his puppy energy and so so communicative the whole time we were away which eased my anxieties so much. Our pup loves her!!! Will always be leaving him with her in the future when possible 🥲

I can't say enough great things about Jayla. She was prompt, followed our directions to a T and shared pictures of our babies over the weekend. She's super sweet and asked questions as needed. She kept our house tidy as well. We will definitely be using Jayla in the future! Thank you so much Jayla! :-)

Raina was amazing taking care of my very social cat for a long weekend. She stayed at the apartment with her and made sure to give my cat the time she needed to get comfortable. By the end of the weekend, my cat was not hesitant at all to ask for cuddles and pets. Would definitely recommend Raina and will be having her back soon!

Rena not only made Kobe feel comfortable in evenings where he was feeling the thunder scaries but she also had some of the best communication I have experienced from a sitter. Throughout all visits, I got updates and she always followed up on my requests. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet bubba!

Sophie did a wonderful first time housesitting to my best friend Oakley, who is certainly a handful! she followed instructions, took care of the home and left him happy and healthy. Thank you so much Sophie for taking care of best friend. looking forward to rebooking with Sophie in the future!
JL was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Barley. He followed our detailed instructions and was caring and considerate of Barley’s needs. He updated us frequently, sent many photos, and left our house very clean. We would recommend him to other pet parents and hope to use him again in the future!

Julia was an A+++ dog sitter. We don’t leave our dog too often and seem to be unable to find a dog person who loves being a dog sitter. JunieB sensed her love of dogs immediately. We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. I only hope that Julia will be our go to forever!!!

We are so grateful that Jen cared for our dog Rhea during our recent trip. She spent a lot of time during the meet and greet getting to know us and our dog, and even came on a short walk with us to see how Rhea did on her leash. She was adaptable to her unique needs including Rheas health conditions and medications. Thank you so much for your wonderful care!
