“Sarah did a great job with our animals. She was very communicative and followed through with everything I asked. She left a very light footprint at our house. It was as if no one had been there. Everything was clean! I am already trying to rebook her :)”


“Emily connected with our fur babies right away! She was prompt, warm, communicative - providing updates daily on how they were doing. We highly recommend her.”


“Alex did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat Pete while we were out of town. He sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. Since we live in the same neighborhood, we were able to work out a schedule that was conducive to both of us and we felt at ease knowing our beloved Pete was in great hands!”


“Allie was a consummate professional from Meet & Greet to wrapping up house sitting with my girl dog. She communicated easily and often. I loved the photos she sent throughout the time which helped me stay connected to my pup. Perfectly clean home and happy dog when I got back. Highly recommend!”


“Alyssa was wonderful. Our pups absolutely loved her. She was responsive and sent pictures often during her stay. I will definitely use Alyssa again.”


“Michelle was awesome! She was prompt, communicated, responsible - and looked after my two dogs well. She also noticed my puppy had a small swelling/allergic reaction. Made dog sitting look easy. Thanks so much!”


“Amazing job by Jen! This was our first time trusting anyone with sitting Jake and we were nervous going in. Jen gave us a sense of confidence and trust from our first interaction. She asked thoughtful questions during our initial meet and greet and took to Jake immediately. And he to her! Jen provided plenty of updates throughout our engagement, with lots of photos, stories and videos to give us peace of mind that allowed us to really enjoy our time away. I couldn’t recommend Jen highly enough. She treated our place with respect and left a tidy home for us to return to.”


“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!”


“Gabriel was wonderful. He asked great questions about our puppy’s needs and remembered our puppy’s routine. He kept her very active and she was happy and well cared for. He was thoughtful in how he responded to her behavior to help shape it in a positive manner.”


“Radha was a wonderful companion to our high-energy puppy. He house sat for several days and dealt with a leak, a power outage, and a puppy who had never been left with a stranger. Radha sent lots of pictures and updates and kept us at ease. He even visited a couple of weeks before we hired him so we could ensure he was a good fit for us. Thank you, Radha!”


“Deven watched over our home and pups. Both of our dogs are large (75 and 95 pounds), one is senior at 14.5 years and the other is a 4-year old Great Pyrenees, so he definitely had a lot of dog to deal with. Deven managed the sit extremely well, even with some last minute care instructions for our old man who managed to injure himself two days before we left (including a cone of shame and two extra medications!). We would definitely have Deven back again.”


“Alicia was the perfect person to look after Sagan on my month long trip to Australia. She treated him so well, taking him on walks all the time, sending me multiple videos and pictures per day, and also kept my dozens of plants alive, picked up packages for me etc. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Amazing work Alicia, thank you.”


“Naomi is an amazing dog sitter, very punctual and responsible. She was great with updates and communication throughout the entire time she was with our doggie, Milo. Went above and beyond caring for him. We highly recommend her and would love to use her services again.”


“Nicole was super accommodating with our pets, who can be quite shy and anxious. She was very thorough and took great care of both Stella and Zoomy, provided thoughtful observations and updates throughout the day, and made our holiday as stress free as possible! Would definitely recommend!”


“Elisa is the perfect sitter! She sent so many great photos during her stay with my three cats, and she did an amazing job caring for them. I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with them, which made my husband and I happy and confident they were in good hands. I highly recommend Elisa, and I'll definitely have her stay with our girls again in the future. Thank you, Elisa!”


“Abby is so caring and thoughtful. You can tell she really loves dogs and made our Meeko so comfortable while we were away. Would highly recommend!”


“Alex was great with our two dogs. She stayed while we were gone for a week and sent lots of pictures and updates. Most importantly, the dogs were loved and well cared for. We would definitely have her back!”


“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”


“Alison watched our two wild corgis for one night and sent ample updates! You can tell she has a lot of experience and I knew they were in good hands with her!”


“David is excellent, hire him. Really good knowledge of dogs, extremely professional, goes above and beyond. Left my place infinitely better than when he showed up, communicated about my dog, Even improved the behaviors I asked him to work on. Took my dog on walks, to parks, really worked hard. Can't recommend him highly enough”

So grateful for Radha’s care while we were away. Whether it be the consistent and reliable updates, the pictures to make us wish we were home, or the fact we came back to a spotless house. We will absolutely come back to Radha again and we highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs.

Ben watched our dog and cat for two weeks, and it was so great to feel like the animals and our home were in the care of someone so attentive and communicative. Thanks so much Ben!

Thank you so much, Kim, for sitting with Simba. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing you were there to take care of him. He means the world to me, and having someone I trust looking after him made all the difference. I’m so grateful for you! 💙

Maiz was great with our Aussie! He was able to help us out last minute AND for the holiday weekend which was super helpful!! He took great care of our dog and was also very responsive. Any time we reached out we heard almost instantly from Maiz. We can’t thank him enough!

Elena watched our sweet but slow-to-warm-up-to-new-people dog over the Fourth of July. She did a great job being patient with him and meeting him at his comfort levels. She was also great at communication when it came to looking out for our dog's stress levels with the fireworks and successfully administered some medication to aid. We will definitely hire Elena again!

I cannot thank Adriane enough for the loving care she gave to our large, energetic 18 month old dog and two bunnies while we were out of town. She made herself available on short notice during a family crisis and stayed in our home over a holiday weekend and stayed late when our flight was delayed to make sure we made it home ok. Our critters were so relaxed and clearly well cared for when we arrived - I hope she will return to play with Tumbleweed!

Mackenzie is fantastic! She is very responsible and communicative and provided our Vizsla with great love, attention, and exercise. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Chloe was an incredible cat sitter -- she sent us daily updates and photos and we could tell the cats were so happy to be with her. She also left our house in perfect condition, going above and beyond to make sure the house was ready for our return. We would definitely recommend her and plan to book her again in the future!

Eden did a great job watching Sunny, and kept me updated throughout. Would definitely hire her again!

Thanks Cassandra for taking good care of our pups and for providing updates and photos to let us know they were doing ok. Thanks also for asking clarifying questions and for handling Tito’s meds.

We have two dogs that are polar opposites with one being reactive and the other having separation anxiety. Our first overnight away with a sitter in the home went spectacular 10/10 recommend. Came home to both dogs calm and relaxed. Nikki is the best!

Romeo is disabled and 13 years old. As such, I can't leave him by himself or with other dogs. Atif was really awesome taking care of Romeo and staying in my home. Romeo typically gets up at 5am to go outside, gets a few walks in, and potty breaks. He eats 2x's a day. His routine is not typical: I have to wrap his paw every time he goes for his long walks because of his disability and he can get fussy eating. Atif really did great during our time together and when I was away. I was gone for 17 days and he was really kind to meetup 2xs before I leave to review his routine. I would definitely love atif to care for romeo. He's really caring and super easy to work with. n

Gabriella did an amazing job taking care of our cat abd was completely respectful of our home. Would highly recommend!

Elyse was great with our shy and guarded foster doggie, Olive. She was very communicative, responsive, and flexible. She even showed up extra early to be there with Olive when we left. Would recommend and book again. Thanks, Elyse!

Sofia did great with my dog. They navigated Fourth of July fireworks with my dog really well and kept me updated throughout the weekend. I came home to a well taken care of pup and my house was very clean. Thank you Sofia!!

Bailey is a wonderful cat sitter. She is communicative and always sends lots of pictures. She keeps our cats happy and our house clean.

Srujan was an amazing house sitter for our puppy Ladybug. She was in great care as Srujan was very communicative. He also left our home so clean. We would certainly book him again!

As always, Teddy is absolutely wonderful! We’ve used Teddy multiple times now, and every single experience has been fantastic. They are incredibly flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. Teddy always keeps us updated with regular photo check-ins, which gives us such peace of mind when we’re away. They truly go above and beyond for our dog, Claude and it’s clear how much Claude adores Teddy! He’s always so excited to see Teddy, and honestly, what more could you ask for in a sitter? Unless Teddy’s schedule is booked, we’ll continue booking with Teddy every time. Highly recommend!
