“Ariel was wonderful! She is friendly and so clearly an animal person; the kind of person you want caring after your pet. We booked her for house sitting for our 4 month old puppy. She gave him lots of attention and followed our instructions. We will definitely be booking again.”


“We needed a sitter for our senior/special needs dog on short notice due to a death in our family. Lucy accepted and was amazing. She kept us up to date on feedings and walks and made a horrible day bearable knowing our Joey was well taken care of.”


“Madison was very helpful - especially assisting last minute during a crazy work week for me. She agree to meet beforehand to get to know my dog. My pup has separation anxiety and she was willing to take on the challenge :).”


“Andrea was absent amazing with my dog Franklin! Andrea house sat for me with a last minute request and was so great! She was very communicative and sent me timely updates. I highly recommend Andrea, she is great with fur babies!”


“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”


“David was great! Our old house sitter was unavailable and David showed incredible flexibility with a last-minute booking for house sitting. During the stay, he gave us consistent updates about when he took our pooch for walks, when he would leave, and kept us posted about how our old, anxious pup was doing. He paid careful attention to our little guy and made sure he was at ease while we were out. Not only did he keep Sayer comfortable, but he also left our apartment in better shape than it was when he arrived! Thanks, David!”

“Schirn took great care of our dog, who has some anxiety issues. Schirn was very attentive to our care instructions and provided great photos throughout the stay.”


“TJ Watched our little puppy, Brisket, for an evening while we attended a local wedding and was such a seamless experience. We knew immediately that Brisket was in great hands. TJ is incredibly professional and communicative and even stayed 10 extra minutes when we were running late. We will definitely be working with TJ again!”


“We initially planned to board our dog Frankel during our vacation. Unfortunately 5 days before the trip he broke his toe and ended up in a foot cast, leaving us unable to put him in a boarding facility. We scrambled a bit with only a few days to find an alternative, and then we came across Lilly's profile. She took absolutely fantastic care of Frankel while we were away and put our minds at ease with daily pictures and videos of Frankel having a great time. Lilly made sure to give him his medication and take the extra steps needed to keep his cast safe and dry, she was extremely communicative, and even offered to water our plants and bring the mail in. Frankel had the best time with Lilly. We really can't say enough great things about the experience and will definitely be using Lilly again for future trips!”


“Dory was having stomach problems but Brittany took fantastic care of her. We appreciate it and are lucky that Brittany is such a great sitter.”


“Brigette has been a dog sitter we have been able to rely on continuously while we are at work. We are in the process of training our 8 month old puppy whom is potty training, crate training and is slowly learning to get past his anxiety of being home alone. She has proven to be patient and attentive to Ziggy’s needs as well as in constant communication with Ziggy updates and any questions she may have. We have rebooked her multiple times thus far and plan to continue rebooking her!”


“It was amazing! Adriana stayed at our place with Pelusa for ten days. We came back and Pelusa was happier than ever, in perfect shape, active, spectacular. Pelusa is a very demanding border collie, and it demands both physical and mental activity. Adriana was up to the task. She also kept us updated with pics and asked us if she had any question. She was sweet and caring with Pelusa and you could tell from his reaction when she came back to return the keys. A great experience, couldn't recommend her more. Thanks! ¡Mil gracias!”


“I've been a bit overwhelmed with our new 11 week old pup and Aaron was a huge help house sitting with him for the morning so I could get some work done. He arrived early, played with him, and got him to poop and pee outside several times with no accidents inside! And then sent some nice pics afterward of the little guy having fun.”


“Julia was great! She provided pictures and updates on our puppy throughout the day and took great care of him. Highly recommend!”


“Jeff was a fantastic pet sitter for our 2 German shepherds while we were away for a few days! We could tell from the photos and videos he sent that they were absolutely loving him! Jeff was super communicative both before and during the stay, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 10/10 would love to have Jeff look after the dogs again in the future!”


“Olga and Nicol were very communicative and attentive to Jojo while we were away. They kept us updated with anything unusual that happened and sent lots of pictures. They even helped pick up packages! Would highly recommend.”


“Christopher was great with Chloe and very attentive to her. He sent lots of pictures while he was with her. He communicated with me when he got here, during his stay with Chloe, and right after he left. I will definitely be booking with him in the future!”


“Atxiri was fantastic! She was very attentive to my cat Phoenix. He usually hides for most people but she made him feel comfortable enough to be near her from room to room and even to come out and play! She sent lots of great pics, was punctual and communicative throughout. Also, my place was cleaner than I left it as I came back. I will definitely book her again. 😄”


“Christopher was genuinely excellent with Krunk. He warmed up to him right away. They got along incredible. Christopher is very thorough. He sees all of Krunk's needs because he does have medical conditions and needs specific medications and things. He was very attentive to him and very caring!! He is so professional and picked up on Krunks mannerisms right away. My mind was put to ease and that’s the most important thing. I would recommend him to anybody. He truly is a blessing.🐶🐾🐶🐾”


About: I have had cats personally throughout most of my life, but also have experience with in-home pet care over the last 4 years, and love to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away! I am currently freelancing, so my schedule is very flexible for your pet's needs! I do not need to work in any specific location, so I am able to be at home with your pets during the day. I am attentive to the individual needs of pets, and can handle whatever needs they have. I am also a courteous guest, and will ensure the home stays clean and tidy!

20. Ryan B.

“Ryan allows me to travel with out any worries—which means a lot if you knew my fur baby. My cat Olive has a lot of separation anxiety and a medical condition; taking medicine multiple times a day. Ryan has been a life saver and takes care of Olive just as well as I would. He is timely, responsible, a good communicator, caring, and when he stays over I come home to a clean apartment and a happy, well taken cat. I've depended on Ryan for the last couple years and I highly recommend him—even if you have a high maintenance babe like mine.”
