“Sammi was wonderful. She agreed to sit for us at last minute over Christmas after a sitter on another site let us down. She was truly a lifesaver as I was panicking that I wouldn't have anyone to look after our cats while we were overseas for almost two weeks. She was wonderful with our three cats, one of which has a bit of a disability. She took it all in stride and followed instructions for food and meds to a tee. She stayed over most nights and left our house clean and tidy. We returned home to very happy cats. Sammi is trustworthy, reliable and a great communicator. She sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Sammi!”
“Han is great! We've used her multiple times with our three pets and she is always punctual, communicative, reliable and responsible. The pets love her and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Katherine is the BEST! She was able to care for my boy, Cooper, on relatively short notice for a 9 day trip. You can tell she absolutely loves animals and it didnt take but a second for her to connect with Cooper. He was a happy boy to have her and it was a great experience! I highly recommend her to anyone that has a need for someone to provide loving care to their animal while they are away!”
“This review is long overdue! Ashley has been AWESOME with our senior, stubborn dog, Pumpkin. She’s been prompt with responding and the house sitting/drop in’s went very smoothly. She also was really great about letting us know what time she would be arriving and leaving so we could plan accordingly. She went above and beyond with showing love and taking care of P - we were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. We are extra grateful for Ashleys attention and care - we are really glad Ashley is in Pumpkins village! Thank you so much again! 💕💕”
“We had Kylee stay at our house to take care of our two puppies on the weekend. She is very conscientious in her duties and responded to an issue by asking the on call vet for advice. We were extremely happy with her care.”
“Daniel took such great care of our 2 dogs while we were away! He was very communicative, competent and super sweet to our pups. We would definitely recommend his services!”
“Vanessa was fantastic! She was attentive and caring in every detail of looking after my pup. She was prompt and inquisitive to make sure she understood our desires for care before the visit and was very flexible as I added some instructions during the visit. I can’t wait to go away again and leave D.O.G. with her and have no worries.”
“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”
“Aly is great with Sadie! Aly has taken care of Sadie for me on multiple occasions, and I always know that Sadie is in great hands. Aly is very responsive, and keeps me up to date with how Sadie is doing. If you’re looking for somebody who is reliable and great with dogs, book Aly!”
“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition. Our mini-Dachshund is a bit of a handful, but she did great with her. And, our suspicious older Corgi even warmed up to her. Thank you, Mya!”
“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”
About: Hi there! My name is Erik, a pet sitter with many years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, hedgehogs, and more. Truth be told, I’ve always done this for friends and family just for fun, so why not give this a go! I grew up with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. As a full-time professional at a philanthropic foundation, I bring reliability, professionalism, and great communication to every pet-sitting job. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your furry family member/s, so I always treat them as if they were my own. I am very active, so if your pet needs a good walk or play session, that’s right up my alley! Per request, I do like to send “pup-dates” – short (TikTok like) video clips of your pet enjoying their time in my care, whether it’s a walk, play session, or just lounging around. I’d love to help care for your pets—feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I do work full time, but I do have a hybrid schedule. Currently I am Not available on Tuesday or Wednesday, but can make availability outside of these times. At the moment, I will not be able to bring any pets to my residence since I do have other roommates. Sorry for this inconvenience.
About: I love all pets, cats, dogs even reptiles. I have worked with young and old pet's. I have worked with kindhearted dogs that have an aggressive pull and bark. I have experience with medication as well. I am currently on summer break from college. I am planning on working at least 40 hours a week but it will be flexible. I can do overnights no trouble and my days will vary. I can not have others pets at my home, so I will have to come to you. I have found most pets would rather be in their homes when their people are away, it’s make them more comfortable.
“Sjory is amazing! We have 2 anxious cats with very strong personalities and she handled it like a champ. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and was able to adjust to their particular needs. She sent lots of pictures and we returned to our home just as we left it. Thanks Sjory!!”
“Sjocelin did a great job with our dogs!”
“Christina was excellent with our girls and keeping us updated! She not only validated our anxiety about leaving them, but alleviated it through consistent photos and check-ins. She made sure they were cared for, distracted and prioritized their needs. We have two pretty big dogs one with anxiety, she made sure she felt comforted in times of stress. I don’t want to share her, but I truly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Great sitter! Was super sweet with our dog and very responsive over texts, communicative, and even took Charlie to the dog park for 45 minutes, which he loved”
“Korrey did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd Quincy and hound mix Sydney while we were on vacation for a week. Sydney is a little skittish towards new people, but she warmed right up to Korrey - he has very calm energy. Korrey administered several medications for the dogs and also picked up the dog poop in the backyard. He followed all instructions, sent a few pictures, and I never had any issues getting in touch with him. I was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about our pups at all!”

“Erik has watched my dog Andy multiple times and Andy just loves him! He takes Andy on walks, gives him lots of attention, in addition to all the normal stuff. He does a great job with special instructions, like when Andy needed some pills or food toppers while he was over there. Erik is also a respectful and responsible person period, and I would trust him to stay at my place, or come and go from my home, while dog sitting as well.”
14. Seth R.
“Seth did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Odin. Odin is usually anxious when meeting new people, but warmed up to Seth immediately.
