1. Sydney P.

“This was our first time working with Sydney. She took great care of our fur babies, August and Betty. We received multiple photo/video updates throughout the weekend and it was evident that August and Betty were having a fantastic time and were well taken care of. We highly recommend Sydney and look forward to booking with her again. :)”


2. Iuliia H.

“We were very lucky to find Iuliia. She stayed with our very sweet, but very anxious dog over the holidays. It took our pup a little while to adjust, but she quickly warmed up and the two became fast friends. We will definitely work with Iuliia again in the future.”

5. Justine B.

“Justine was very sweet and she and our Rita hit it off right away. She sent lots of photos while we were away and the house was spotless upon our return. Justine was a great communicator, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease leaving our girl with her while we traveled.”


6. jessica k.

“Jessica was terrific- last minute my cat needed medication applied while we were gone on our trip and she really stepped up. She was super communicative, sent a ton of pictures, and the pets were obviously very well cared for while we were away. 9000% would recommend Jessica.”


7. Shykala B.

“Shykala agreed to watch my dog at my home on short notice while I was away for the weekend. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule in order to do a meet and greet with my dog, who is anxious around new people. While I was away, she sent multiple updates, photos, and maps showing the routes she walked with my dog. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it and shykala had taken the trouble to strip the bedsheets and take out the trash. I will definitely be asking her to watch my fur baby again!”


8. Annie S.


“Annie was incredible. Would highly recommend and happily have her back! She watched my toy poodle all weekend and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and kept the place spotless. She is a perfect sitter and is fabulous with dogs!!”


9. Bria M.

10. Rachel E.

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful when looking after our dog! She was so thorough with instructions for dog sitting and always kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. My dog can get anxious when we are away but she absolutely loved having Rachel around! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”


11. Michael C.

“Michael was wonderful! He was great with all our pets and gave us regular updates throughout the weekend. He took our dog for multiple walks per day and played with her a lot! He also worked with her and did some training while we were gone! He was also very respectful of our home. We will definitely use Michael again and recommend him highly!”


12. Tatiana L.

“Tatiana took care of our senior greyhound overnight at our house, and did a fantastic job! She met with us before our trip and was very thorough in going over all of his information. She communicated with us regularly while we were away and reached out to his vet when he had a minor medical issue. She very clearly enjoyed spending time with our dog and gave him lots of love. I would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone who was looking for care for their pets!”


13. Autumn C.

“Autumn was super with our shy cat and took great care of our house while we were away. What a treat to receive the photos she sent us during our trip!”


14. Olga & Natalia D.

“Olga is a fantastic pet sitter! Olga stayed at my home for the second time, and was a great experience. She kept me informed about the status of my pets and responded quickly to my text messages, my house was in perfect condition when I got home. Can't say enough about her. I will definitely use her again!!”


15. Marykay B.

“Once again, Marykay took excellent care of my dog and my house. I am thoroughly satisfied with her services and highly recommend her. Her reliability and care provide peace of mind every time. Highly recommended!”




16. Kelsey F.

“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our puppy (and bird and bunny)! We were quite nervous leaving our pup with a new dog sitter for a whole week. She is a handful with lots of puppy behaviors and we needed someone to keep a careful eye on her. Kelsey was very responsive and thorough. She kept us updated with photos and messages. She stayed at our house and left things neater than it was when she arrived. We were so relieved that our home and our furry family members were in such good hands!”


17. Sarah E.

“Sarah was amazing!! I have two very big dogs that both weigh 140 and she handled them perfectly. Highly recommend if you have any big dogs and need someone who can deal with that.”


18. Briana G.

“Briana was fabulous! Both my cat and dog are picky eaters and Briana got them to eat. She was patient and conscientious. Originally we had booked her to just cat-sit, but our plans for our dog fell through and she gladly took on the challenge of taking care of our diabetic dog, insulin shots and all. We are so thankful for her!”


19. John P.

“He watched our pups over the weekend. Came over for a meet and greet and seems very friendly, my pups liked him immediately. He sent pictures while we were away and left the house in good shape! We’d hire again.”




20. Sarah K.

“Sarah was great!!! She cared for my cat over the weekend— did a good job of checking in, was respectful of the food/medication schedule that my cat is on, easy to communicate with, and I came home to a happy and well cared for animal! Hope to have her help again in the future!”
