1. CJ T.


“This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.”


2. Stephen G.

“I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough! He stayed with my dog during my wedding weekend and went above and beyond in every aspect. Not only did he take exceptional care of my dog, but he also looked after my home with the utmost responsibility. Stephen provided extremely thorough updates throughout the weekend, giving me complete peace of mind during a busy and important time. He was incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail. I will absolutely be using him again—he’s an outstanding sitter!”

10. Renata M.
“I highly recommend Renata as a pet sitter! She took excellent care of my 8 year old golden retriever. Not only did she take him for walks, but she also stayed overnight to make sure he was safe and comfortable. Her attention to detail and love for animals truly made a difference. I can't thank her enough for her fantastic care!”


11. Susannah H.

“Susannah is a great sitter! She is warm & friendly, and my pets seemed to really enjoy her company. Lotus and Chips took to her immediately and seemed very comfortable throughout my time away. All of my animals were well taken care of, I got regular updates and photos, and my house was left tidy upon my return. I'll certainly book with her again!”


12. Ciara P.


“Ciara was among the best caretakers I have ever worked with! She helped us out big time in a major pinch after another provider flaked over a holiday weekend. She was timely, attentive to our pets needs, very communicative with frequent updates and took great care of the home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and caring pet sitter!”


13. Alejandro N.
“I have had Alejandro care for our two large terrier/lab mix dogs for over a year and a half now. He is one of only two people in this world I would trust with the care and treatment of my pups. He also house sits for us and is exceptionally respectful and responsible in his duties. He always gives updates and asks follow up questions to make sure he is doing everything possible for the safety and wellbeing of Tyson and Laney. I recommend him 100%!!”


14. Anna O.
About: I come from a very pet loving family, consistently owning 3-4 dogs at a time along with other animals. I am patient, responsible, and adore all furry friends! I am sensitive to all the different personalities each animal has and do my best to care for them as if I was their owner. I work full time at a hair salon and am looking for a side gig and I figured I would combine it with my love of animals. I will occasionally have random weekdays off as well as weekends which I would love to fill with caretaking! I personally have 4 very needy pups who I care for by feeding twice a day, walking at least once a day, and giving endless loves to. I understand putting your trust into a stranger to care for your animals is very difficult but I would do my very best to make them feel as loved and cared for as my own dogs.


15. Ahmyah H.

“Quick reply and flexible, thanks!”


16. Danielle V.

“Danielle is wonderful and takes great care of our dog and cat when we leave town. She is an excellent communicator and always goes above and beyond.”


17. Stephanie S.

“Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!”
