“Alison is amazing. She absolutely loves animals and my dog took to her right away. During my travels my dog did not want to leave her side! This is as comfortable as I have ever felt leaving my little one with a sitter. I will be using her exclusively going forward. She is exactly what we all look for when searching for a good sitter. 10/10”


“Allison - amazing as always - Emma is a challenge, but always seems so chill with Allison - so wonderful knowing we can trust with our little pandemic diva - Thanks, Allison!”


“We used Jacob for house sitting our pup. Jacob is very accommodating and checked in with us regularly. He helped us out while laddoo was sick. We believe laddoo had a great time with him. He was respectful of our place as well. Will book again.”


“Nia was an excellent sitter and we will definitely book with her again. She took great care of our dog, Archer, and our home. She’s an excellent communicator and made the whole experience easy. Archer can be a little shy sometimes but he took to her right away which was very comforting for us a new dog parents.”


“Perniall is an exceptionally kind individual who took great care of both our elderly cat and dog. Both of our babies have special needs due to their age and " disabilities " and Perniall handled all that with great care and compassion. He was a great communicator and our apartment was as tidy as we had left it when we returned. Would happily hire him again.”


“Destiny is so kind and professional. I felt so safe with her watching my dog. She sent updates at the end of the day to let me know that all was well which helped my anxiety. I would highly recommend!”


“Sarah house sat our dog, Charley, for over a week, and did an excellent job! She was very communicative and provided many updates. Our dog is timid at first, but she clearly warmed right up to Sarah. Will definitely work with her again!”


“Jasmine exceeded our expectations caring for our 3 dogs and 1 cat over the long weekend. She was incredibly communicative, regularly sending updates and photos which put our minds at ease. Our animals seemed happy and well taken care of upon our return. We highly recommend Jasmine for anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care!”


“Maiya has been great watching our dogs. She sends pictures and updates, spends lots of time giving the dogs love and attention, and is very professional. We would highly recommend her!”


“Callie was extremely communicative since day 1 of reaching out to her, we did a meet and greet and the dogs seemed instantly bonded with her and she asked a bunch of questions to really get to know their schedules and personalities. During our stay she provided us with updates and pictures and when we came home the house was spotless and the dogs were so happy. She is an extraordinary caretaker and even more talented artist! I’m so glad we went this route instead of the dog hotel this time around because my dogs are so much happier and healthier because of Callie. Anytime I had a special request she was there to help me out. Thank you so much.”


“Allie took care of Socks in our home over the weekend and it went great! We came back to a happy dog, an immaculate house, and she kept us updated throughout with plenty of photos. Socks took to Allie very quickly (and normally she’s nervous with new people so it was a pleasant surprise!) and she just seems so reliable, friendly, and caring to our dog that we also trusted her rightaway! Will definitely have Allie care for Socks more in the future… THANK YOU!!!”


“Marlena was great! We really had a hard time looking for someone that Paco likes and they clicked almost immediately. I will definitely require her service again.”


“Highly recommend Aleisha! Aleisha stayed with our baby at our home for several days. During that time, we got lots of photos updates. It was evident our baby was happy and comfortable! Aleisha was also respectful of our home. We will be using her services again in the future!”


“Elaine was wonderful! She kept us in the loop with pictures and updates, which made us feel really plugged in and not missing Hal too much. Elaine stayed in our house as part of this booking and left it clean and organized. We will definitely be booking again!”
