“Natalie did an amazing job at communicating with us with updates and pictures everyday. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about how our fur kiddos were doing. We will use Natalie again to take care of our three fur kiddos again!”
“Primrose was a great sitter! She took time out of her day to meet with us before our trip so we could introduce her to our dog, Jack. This was our first time having someone outside our close family and friends stay with him, so we were a bit anxious, but Primrose kept us updated throughout the whole weekend by sending photos and reassurance. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Eunice is so wonderful! She understood my directions really well, asked a lot of questions beforehand, and it looks like Eddie had a lot of fun hanging out with her too. By the time I came back from vacation he was well fed and bright eyed. I can't wait to book Eunice again!”
“Sol was a wonderful house guest/petsitter! This was our first time booking with Sol & I was absolutely delighted by the care they gave my pets, AND my house. Sol was the perfect houseguest. They took our dog for runs, and sent pictures of the pets to check in while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Sol & look forward to booking them again. Thank you so much, Sol! I'm so happy we found you!!”
“I highly recommend David if you are in need of a diligent, patient and responsive dog sitter. He did an amazing job taking care of our elderly and blind dog who needs multiple medications (including eye drops) multiple times a day. He sent us great updates and adjusted care when we provided feedback.”
“Dale was very responsive to me and receptive to the dogs! It was clear the dogs were very well attended to and they loved getting to spend the weekend together! Dale’s intake was thorough and complete making sure the dogs were covered on all basis!”
“I had a great experience having Victoria watch my boy Ash. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time, and took great care of Ash. I would happily have her watch him again!”
“Deven was very thoughtful and engaged with Albee's best interests at heart! He kept us up to date and sent multiple photos daily. Really appreciated his attention to detail!”
“We feel such comfort leaving our very senior dog with Tassia. Our dog requires a lot of patience, and his needs continue to evolve as he ages. Tassia is very communicative, attentive to him, and experiments ways to help get him eating. Thank you Tassia!”
“She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of pet care is extensive and helpful. Would definitely recommend her and will employ her services in future. ?”
“100% amazing! Thank you so so much for taking such good care of our Apple i would highly recommend. Josh gave us so many updates and pictures and cleaned our house. Cannot wait to book again!”
“We have used Sol many times and everytime is a wonderful experience. She is clear in communication, looks after Echo and we get lots of photos. We are lucky to have found Sol”
“Arrived home to a spotless house and very content dogs—Bruce did a great job with everything, including administering medications. Will definitely work with him again in the future.”
“Gaya was amazing! She was so patient with our nervous, barky girl. Her pictures and updates put our minds at ease on our first trip away from Twig. We would love for Gaya to take care of her next time we are away!”
“Allie was absolutely fantastic! She catsit my three cats in my home and was incredibly communicative and good to my cats. The cats had recently been introduced each other, so she had to perform additional work to get them to get along with each other. I came back to my cats getting along even better than before I left, and that's all due to how good Allie is with cats. She clearly has a lot of expertise from working with so many pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. I received so many cute photos of the cats while I was away.”

Signe did an amazing job with Maverick. She provided regular updates, communicated possible unusual behavior with Maverick (his periodic nail chewing is unfortunately normal 🙄), brought in mail, left the apartment cleaner than I left it etc. all without my request. Maverick got tons of exercise and got to explore new places, which he loves. Highly recommend and hope to book Signe again in the future.
Matthew took great care of my cat Nala and my home while I was away. He was very thorough on making sure he understood the instructions and wasn't afraid to ask questions where he needed clarification. Nala seemed to warm to him very quickly, and he was diligent in his care. He was even flexible enough to stay an extra night last minute when I had flight disruptions. I came home to a cleaner house than when I left and a safe, healthy kitty. Would book again.
Nadine is everything you’d want in a dog and house sitter: kind, thorough, caring, thoughtful, and diligent. Upon first meeting her, my reactive dog was completely at ease and warmed right up to her. That told me just about everything. When we returned from a long vacation, our house was in order but more importantly our dog was very well cared for and happy when we got home. Nadine is simply wonderful!
Becca was absolutely wonderful with our two Mini Aussies while we were away. Both of our dogs can be a little anxious, and one is reactive, so finding someone we trust is incredibly important. From the moment we met Becca, we felt comfortable and confident leaving them in her care. She provided thoughtful updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was attentive to their individual needs and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. We also felt completely at ease having her house sit for us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend Becca to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for dogs who may need a little extra patience and understanding.
Sol took such great care of our kitties and shared detailed updates every single day. We have an especially interesting situation as both are cats are getting to know each other - so it required some extra effort. We also came home to a clean house and the kitties were so happy. We would certainly book again - thank you!!
Eunice did such a wonderful job with watching my buddy! She was very responsive, kind, and accommodating to my dogs needs and my travel plans. She was great at sending pics throughout the stay, took him on walks daily, and left my house spotless!! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to use Eunice again in the future!
Shaniece house sat for us while we were away for 5 days. She took care of our cat and our senior dog. Our dog warmed up to her immediately and even our shy and sometimes scared of strangers cat came out and played around her. She took excellent care of our apartment while we were away and sent update photos while we were gone. She followed all care instructions we left behind and texted when she had questions. She is kind, communicative, and responsible. We will definitely book her again when we need to go out of town with out our fur babies. You will not regret hiring her to look after your pets, I highly recommend her.
