Dani did an absolutely amazing job with our kitten Maddy. She was so quick to respond to me when I was looking for someone to drop in and visit our cat during our out-of-town trip. We got a detailed report every day, along with a bunch of really sweet photos. Maddy can be a bit particular and uncomfortable around strangers, but it seems Dani was able to quickly get her to open up and play. It really meant a lot to us to know that our cat was being taken care of so well and diligently while we were out of town. Dani clearly loves animals and is fantastic at her job, I will definitely be calling her again the next time Maddy needs a buddy while we’re gone. Thanks again Dani!

I highly recommend Renata as a pet sitter! She took excellent care of my 8 year old golden retriever. Not only did she take him for walks, but she also stayed overnight to make sure he was safe and comfortable. Her attention to detail and love for animals truly made a difference. I can't thank her enough for her fantastic care!

As Hannah's roommate, I can say that she has a large and loving personality. She is always caring and looking out for those around her. I know that she has pets of her own from dogs to birds and helps take care of her girlfriend's dog, Summer. I think she is the perfect caregiver to your loving pet.

Wenxin was able to drop-in for our golden retriever puppy, Noodle, on last minute notice and was very flexible in accommodating our changing schedule! She was quick to understand and take care instructions for Noodle and proactive if anything comes up. She also kept me closely updated about him at home which I greatly appreciated! I would feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her again and definitely recommend booking her for your pup :)

Pauline went above and beyond caring for my cat. My cat took to Pauline, and Pauline not only fed, cleaned, and played with my cat, but also helped with a small thing in the house while we were gone. Would recommend and book again!

We had a wonderful experience with Cora who watched our 2.5 year-old goldendoodle for 2 weeks while we were traveling. Our dog recently had knee surgery and we had to change the dog-sitting plans we had in place due to the limitations during her rehabilitation. We were worried about finding a pet sitter while our pup was still early in the recovery process, but luckily, we found Cora. She was completely comfortable with our dog's surgical recovery and physical therapy needs as she had prior experience with dogs recovering from surgery. Cora was very organized, kind, thoughtful, and gentle with our dog throughout their time together. She went absolutely above-and-beyond by taking her to physical therapy as well as doing daily exercises with her. We could not be more grateful since we returned home to a happy pup who was using her recovering leg! She kept us updated throughout our time away with pictures and videos of her progress. We also returned to a lovely, clean house. We would definitely recommend her house-sitting or walking services to others and plan to use Cora again in the future!

Marissa is who you want to walk your dog! She’s friendly, reliable, and has a genuine love for animals. My dog, Maggie, always looks forward to her walks with Marissa, and I love the updates and pictures she sends. They always go on exciting adventures, exploring new neighborhoods and parks, while staying mindful of my dog’s safety and needs. I’ve even referred Marissa to some of my neighbors, and they have nothing but positive things to say. I cannot recommend Marissa enough!

Cameron is absolutely amazing. He took care of our 3 cats for a few days and did a great job. One of our cats is very difficult and poops on the floor instead of pooping in the litter, but he was great at cleaning, for which we were really grateful. He is very good at communicating and very reliable. We are very grateful we found him and we will use his services for sure in the future.

I’m thrilled to recommend Jennielyn as an exceptional pet sitter! She has been a fantastic caregiver for my dogs, Jackson and Muñeca, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. Jennielyn makes dogs feel safe, comfortable and loved, which is such a gift. Jackson and Muñeca instantly connected with her, and what’s even more impressive is how well they got along with her dogs. She created a harmonious and safe environment where they all could thrive. Jennielyn’s attention to detail, from feeding schedules to playtime, made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s caring, responsible, and treats every dog as if they were her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennielyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

Sarah house and dog sits for us when we are on vacation. Our dog Ellie can be difficult because she has separation anxiety and becomes withdrawn when we leave. Sarah is a responsible, kind hearted and patient person so I have total trust and confidence in her abilities to handle Ellie's anxiety. It makes for a relaxing vacation for us!

Kathryn was such a gem! Wexler looked forward to her every morning! She was very communicative, always giving us updates and little photos of Wexler enjoying his walk! She has consistently supported us as we adjusted after our most recent move. I would highly recommend!
