Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾

Jacob was fantastic, very communicative, with high-resolution (!!) videos of my pup playing and constant updates. And he left the house impeccable. We will use Jacob for sure in the future, Vernena loved him!

Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.

This is the first time we have had a pet sitter come and stay in our home. We had a wonderful experience with Gabriela and would definitely hire her again. She was easy to communicate with and sent us tons of pictures of the animals. It made our get away so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Gabriela for all your pet sitting needs!

Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.

Danyel was an amazing sitter for our 5 month old kitten bmo! She stopped by multiple times to get to know him + his schedule and familiarize herself with the place before we went away. While we were away Danyel sent us daily feeding pictures and other pictures with a few updates on how he was doing. It really helped us feel that he was safe and loved while we were away. Bmo is obsessed with her and we can’t wait to book her again!

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt, attentive, and detail-oriented, quickly picking up on our cats’ unique personalities and making them feel comfortable right away. She followed all instructions exactly, provided thoughtful and witty updates that gave us real peace of mind, and communicated clearly throughout our trip. Not only did she care for our cats as if they were her own, but she also left our house spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Michelle has been an absolutely WONDERFUL in home sitter for us. She was attentive and detail oriented during the meet and greet and clearly has a good sense of how to handle various temperaments in animals. She sent us updates twice daily and included several pictures making us feel like our guy was getting very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone!

Stacey is great and really takes the time to do what's best for your pets. Mine all have issues with each other and Stacey went above and beyond to make sure my two dogs and a cat were able to get along and also gave them lots of individual attention. I recommend her highly for any house sitting or pet sitting job that you might have.

Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.

Songjingyun is an amazing pet sitter! She has already watched my puppy for two days, and my puppy is only 9 weeks old, so finding someone I could truly trust was very important to me. She provided exceptional care and attention, and my puppy was genuinely excited to see her the second time — which says a lot. She handled puppy biting thoughtfully, helped reinforce new commands, and was incredibly patient. She also kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She never minded the messes that come with caring for a young puppy, and at the end of each day she gave me a detailed update on everything — including activities, behavior, and even any small changes she noticed in my puppy’s health. As a first-time puppy parent, I was very nervous about using a dog sitter, but Songjingyun made this experience absolutely wonderful and stress-free. I would 100% trust her with my puppy again and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive. Thank you so much, Songjingyun!

Rachel is a very kind and attentive cat sitter. My cat has quite the care regimen needing an inhaler, wet food, and access to a catio. Rachel did great with all of it and had a great attention to detail for other aspects of our home. We’re very happy knowing that both our cat and home were in great care while we were away and she took care of them both as if they were her own. We’d love to work with her again in the future.

We found a gem in Maria! She took special care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a family wedding. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs. Maria was happy to meet with us several times before our scheduled trip; once in the park and twice in our home, which made us feel that much more confident. She sent pictures and anecdotes two or three times a day, which we just loved. We will definitely use Maria again and we recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific dog/house sitter!

Danyel was terrific staying with my rescue Doodle whom I’d only had for 3 weeks so far. She spent the better part of two consecutive days with him, including exercising him in the backyard and feeding him dinner. She is a thoughtful, personable young woman who’s clearly experienced and expert in caring for pets.

She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!

The hardest part of my rare vacation out of the country was the thought and planning that went in months in advance for the care of my senior, special-needs pup. I was about to give up right before I found Sabrina. She was a perfect match for him, and I had so much peace of mind that she was the guardian of my house while I was away. My dog is blind, and she was so patient as she learned how to take him for a walk. She sent adorable photos every day of their little excursions. She even confirmed that he got his "happy trot" going. He really must have trusted her. All the the plants are still thriving, too. I wish I could give even more stars for this review.
