What an amazing dog sitter. She was very attentive to our 15 year old dog that is blind. She was able to watch him for over 2 weeks and we got daily updates. She put our minds at ease and I would highly recommend.

We were traveling and needed someone to take care of our dog because our friend had an emergency. She picked up our dog and took very good care of him. I was surprised to find someone so reliable so close to my house. I will definitely leave my pet in her care whenever I need to in the future ❤️🥹

Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.

Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.

Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.

I left my dog Scooby with Diamond while I was away on vacation & I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the very start, Diamond was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with pictures of Scooby, which gave me complete peace of mind. I never had to worry, Scooby was well fed, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. When I returned, he was his same playful, happy self, which shows how well he was cared for. I highly recommend Diamond and will definitely be booking with her again!

This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!

Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10!

If I could give 50 stars I would!! My dog refused to get into my car after her first trip to Te’s house. I have a puppy and she got very carsick on the ride over, I got multiple updates and felt the entire time like my dog was in the absolute best hands. A huge bonus was her being safely socialized around other dogs! I cannot recommend Te enough! Good enough to want to gatekeep so she has the dates you need her open - really *that* good 😉

This was my first experience using a pet sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Sabrina to take care of my dog, Oreo. I was nervous about how Oreo would adjust to a new environment without me, but Sabrina made everything so easy and comforting. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease and made me so happy. I could see how well Oreo was doing and how much fun he was having, all thanks to her care and attention. Sabrina is clearly amazing with animals. She is patient, loving, and very in tune with their needs. I’m incredibly grateful for the way she looked after Oreo, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pet. Thank you, Sabrina!

She also accommodated our unexpected need for an extra day due to plane cancellation, it was a complete relief to have Kobi with her and know he was safe and happy. She also sent tons of photos and videos so we knew he was happy all the time.

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.

We left Coco with Sri for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sri was incredibly communicative and responsive, sending daily photo and video updates that gave us so much peace of mind. They were very patient and understanding during Coco’s transition into a new home and handled all the adjustments with care. Coco was clearly very well taken care of—she absolutely loved them and even bonded with the cats! If we travel again, they will be our first choice for boarding. Highly recommend!
