“Angie did a fantastic job watching Lady. She is very prompt with all communication. she was accommodating when we hit curveballs like not having parking for her car and when I was delayed on my return trip. she treats your dog like her own and sends lotssss of pictures . I also felt really comfortable having her in my apartment. She’s a girls girl and very respectful, she left the place spotless! Will work with her again!”
“We had Rachael house sit and stay with our dog for a weekend while my husband and I were out of town. Rachael took great care of Pepper and our house was in great shape when we got home! Will definitely book the next time we need a sitter. Thanks Rachael!”
“Soli was awesome and we will absolutely be requesting her services again. She was kind/friendly, treated our home like her own, and most importantly she was great with our dog. I got regular updates from Soli that gave me peace of mind and confidence that Murray was in good hands. I highly recommend Soli for dog sitting!”
“Andrew stayed at our house with our 140lb, elder Newfoundland for a a long weekend and everything went wonderfully. He requires quite a few oral meds mixed into his food, and a careful eye on his walks as not not over exert him and Andrew handled this no problem. We got updates and pics along they way and came home to a very clean home and happy pup! Look forward to having Andrew stay with our dog again.”
“It was such a wonderful experience having Vanessa watch Mochi at our house for us! We knew from the first moment at the meet-and-greet that Mochi would be well taken care of and we came home to a very happy pup. Vanessa took her out for walks as requested, sent us great photo updates, and cuddled with her while we were gone. Mochi was genuinely sad when we got home because Vanessa had to leave, and I think that says a lot about their bond! We will definitely ask Vanessa to house sit for us again!”
“Kora was great throughout the whole process. She was very confident about her abilities to take care of my senior cats for an extended period of time which made me feel much less anxious about the whole experience. She clearly bonded with the cats and sent pictures and check ins throughout her stay! She also was very respectful of the apartment during her stay and was always very responsive.”
“Rachael has always been great with our dogs! Very patient, hands on and respectful of our needs especially with our senior dog! We will definitely continue to request her for house sitting stays :)”
“Paige was so great with my dog, Louie! She sent pictures throughout the weekend and kept me up to date on their various outings. I’d recommend Paige to anyone wanting a responsible sitter for their animals!”
“Paul did a great job caring for my dog and communicating while I was out of town. Having a large dog finding proper care has always been a concern, but with Paul there was no reason to worry! He provided regular updates, was responsive at all times of the booking, and took great care of my dog. 10/10!”
“Andrew was amazing once again. This time he watched our two dogs for a week while we were away on our honeymoon. He sent amazing pics of our dogs daily, which we could tell they were so happy having a great time w Andrew! He was on top of all of our senior dogs serious medications, took the dogs on multiple long walks daily. We have the fi collars which track their daily steps and they exceeded their daily goal everyday! I will definitely be using Andrew again!”
“Cathy is the best. This is the second time she has taken care of my dog. She communicates frequently and responds quickly. She has stayed over at my house and is completely trustworthy. She goes above and beyond. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thanks, Cathy!”
“Jennifer was great! She communicated very efficiently, loved on my pups well, and sent great pictures! I will book her again 10/10! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”
“I think Kelly was the best dog sitter I could have found to be in my home for a long weekend caring for my precious Schnauzer pups. She was friendly, intelligent, punctual, kind, respectful and responsible. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Piper has an amazing time with Cora every time. She is incredibly communicative and attentive. Piper lights up when she sees her and always comes home tired and happy. I can’t recommend Cora enough!”
“Joey was excellent with taking care of my cat and dog! She was flexible with her schedule to help meet my needs for pickup and drop off and was communicative, including sharing photos throughout her petsitting stay at my house. She took great care of my babies and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter - I will certainly be requesting her again :)”
About: I’ve been dog/cat sitting for co workers for over a year whenever they go on vacation. My schedule is super flexible and I have no other obligations other than work which is flexible as well. Although I’ve never had pets of my own (due to building restrictions), I’ve always treated their pets like my own. I have a full-time job. My schedule is pretty flexible so if I know in advance then I can request those days off to accommodate you. I treat pets like toddlers so I’m constantly checking in and making sure they’re ok, have adequate water/food and console them if they may have separation anxiety. I try my hardest to make them feel as comfortable as possible and unless you tell me the things they can/cannot do or where in the house they can’t go, I allow them to roam freely and try not to keep them cooped up in one place. I also LOVE to walk in my free time so I enjoy having a furry friend to keep me company. I also like to use that time to bond more with the animal and let them release any pent up energy.

Tia F.
“Tia has been a lifesaver when it comes to watching my two cats whenever my husband and I do last minute trips out of the state. She has stayed at my house for as long as two weeks and kept us updated the entire time! My 12 year old cat requires medication and my 2 year old cat has separation anxiety. She’s been able to care for both of them just fine. They absolutely adore her! One thing I’d also like to note is she kept our apartment super clean (washing dishes, vacuuming, etc.). If you book her I promise you won’t regret it!”
