“Emily was absolutely delightful. She took great care of our high energy 9-month old. We reached out to Emily rather last minute and she was super responsive and was excited to take Nala in.

10. Michelle S.


“Our pup Cora had a wonderful day with Michelle. Cora had other pups to play with, Michelle sent updates and pictures, and Cora came home tired (always a win). We will definitely be taking her to Michelle in the future.”


11. Dina G.
“Dina is the perfect pet sitter! Not only does she love all animals, she also pays close attention to details. She will provide the best care for your pet, and make sure each animal is getting exactly what they need. She is a great communicator, and extremely trustworthy. She has helped our family multiple times while we were away, and our dog absolutely loved her attention and care. She listens to the pet owners expectations, and goes beyond. We would recommend Dina to anyone looking for a great, reliable pet sitter!”


12. Donovan S.

“Donovan was very easy to communicate with, and sent me updates throughout the day. I could tell when I picked up Tango that he already loved Donovan! He was given numerous walks throughout the day as well. I highly recommend Donovan for pet sitting, and will 100% be using his services again! :)”


13. Cori C.
“Pet sitting isn't just Cori's side job, it's what she loves to do. I love my dogs more than anything and I would never leave them with somebody I didn't completely trust. Cori is the sweetest, most caring and responsible girl with a true love for animals. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! ”


14. Samantha S.
“I'm not exaggerating when I say Samantha treats my dog better than I do myself. She cares for Dora like she is her own and my mind is always at ease whenever I am out of town. She is very flexible and accommodating with your schedule, takes lots of pictures, and her home is set up like a canine haven. I plan to continue using her services in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”


15. Ira M.
“Ira is one of my favorite pet caregivers because they have patience and passion for caring for animals. They are reliable, kind, and motivated. Ira loves animals because they bring her a sense of peace and unconditional love.”

“I highly recommend hiring Kali as your next dog sitter. She is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. Kali goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are taken care of.”


17. Christian G.

“Christian was great! He was very communicative, flexible with our pick up/drop off timing, and took our pup on a nice long walk. Would definitely recommend!”


18. Madeleine L.

“Madeleine took great care of my sweet and shy 1.5 year old chihuahua mix. He came home happy and tired from playing and exploring with her. Madeleine also responds quickly to texts and sent updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”


19. Todd L.

“Todd did an amazing job taking care of Bru! As promised in his bio he sent many pics of Bru throughout the day. Many of them were pictures of her playing with his pup which made me really happy to see her having a good time. She’s had a bout of separation anxiety lately and I can tell when she’s not had a good day at a sitters place by the way she acts when I pick her up. After being at Todd’s place, she was happy to see me but she was also very calm which told me she had been well taken care of and felt comfortable at Todd’s place. I will absolutely be using his services again!☺️”


20. Molly V.
“I had a fantastic experience with Molly Vaziri. She was an incredibly responsible and loving caregiver for my senior dog, providing regular updates, photos, and ensuring all of my dog’s needs were met. It was clear from the start Molly genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Molly Vaziri to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate and very attentive pet sitter.”
