“Keaton was AMAZING. We got multiple adorable pics and updates daily, so appreciated! They provided absolutely perfect care to our babies, one being a senior cat who needs daily injections and a bit of extra care to get her calories in. Not only that, but they went above and beyond keeping our house tidy and handling tasks that were beyond what we had even discussed. We will absolutely be booking them again. Thank you Keaton!”

“Karleigh was great with our boy. She sent plenty of photos and wasn't afraid to ask any questions that came up during the booking. Very communicative and Hunter definitely had a good time with her!”

“This is the second time we had Jayne stay with our dogs and once again everything went very smoothly! It's so great not to have to worry while we are away! The pups were happy and the house was clean upon our return- thank you Jayne! ”
“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”

“Pond did a good job housesitting our older dog. They were very responsive and sent updates and photos. They followed our directions for walking and feeding. I would use Pond again.”

“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”

“Anh was amazing with Pico. She jumped in last minute and handled everything so thoughtfully - including some unexpected tummy issues and his occasional puppy chaos. She kept me fully updated the whole time and sent lots of great photos, which I really appreciated. It made such a difference being able to see how he was doing. Pico is used to being with me all the time, so social interaction is really important for him. Anh adjusted to Pico’s needs and routine and also made him part of hers - giving him so much extra love and attention. You can’t always guarantee that level of care when you’re away, and I’m so grateful I never had to worry. I would absolutely recommend Anh to anyone without hesitation!”

“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

“Lindsey was a wonderful companion for our very particular dog Kona. Her calm demeanor is fantastic! Lindsey took great care of both Kona and our house. I highly recommend her services.”


“Lizabethe did a great job taking care of my Cupid. She kept me updated daily and stayed at the house to keep him company. I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend using her as your dog sitter!”

“Jocabet is a life saver! I just got a puppy and had a set sitter but they canceled last minute. This was my first time using the app and she was so responsive and helpful! She is very kind and my puppy enjoyed interacting with her. Will definitely be booking her in the future.”

“Used Tobias while we went away on vacation. He was great with Bailey and Kali. He listened to our care instructions and attended to their needs perfectly. He is extremely easy going and communicative. Loved getting pics everyday to see how our dogs were doing. Def will rebook and recommend him to anyone”
“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”

“Really great. Lots of pictures. Extremely responsive and good with the pets. House was immaculate (cleaner than I left it, which was unnecessary but very kind). Would definitely book again.”

Pond ... WOW! There are many things worth praising about this incredible person and pet care giver. My fur baby, Gracie, is the luckiest dog ever! Gracie has Mom (me) and Gracie has Pond. Pond truly has the heart of an animal care giver, the sharp mind of a vet, and the empath abilities to sense and know what Gracie needed and when. Gracie's tail would wag and she would snuggle right up to Pond. I saw it! Gracie wasn't distracted by Mom; she wanted Pond's attention! Gracie has been aging over the time Pond has been caring for her, and Pond just goes with the flow of that. Pond will miss Gracies' sweet sixteen party because they're moving out of state. SO - if you are lucky enough to have Pond in your neighborhood in Austin, TXwe 2 ladies here in College Park MD will be jealous! I trust Pond with my precious baby girl. Pond stayed in my home or did visits, and even had the occasion to bring Gracie to their place. Hire Pond. They are someone you can truly trust with your most valued four legged family members! I truly wish Pond would be around to continue to love on Gracie until Gracie's final days (almost 16 is getting up there!) because of the way Pond cares for her - both in spurts of her energy and in her needing help sometimes up the steps or just her slowing down on walks. Sensitive. Responsible. Caring. Gentle. Fun. Intelligent and amazing Pond. Hire them!

Don't be put off by her young age - Karleigh is mature beyond her years. She handled our elderly dogs incontinence issues with aplomb, kept us up-to-date, sent pictures and videos, and asked all the right questions. We will absolutely hire her again, when/if the need presents itself.

We have a very high needs dog with anxiety issues and Sharon not only was able to take the best care of him while we were gone but even became best friends with our pup. She clearly cares about animals and shows it. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her come watch our dog again!

Meghan was beyond amazing with our anxious dog and standoff-ish cat. Our dog seemed to attach to her right away and was spoiled with all the walks, belly rubs, and pets he could ask for. Every picture she sent showed a super happy, comfortable pup. Our cat even came in for some pets herself and gave Meghan some well-earned head butts. Meghan was perfectly communicative whenever anything came up and kept us super in the loop of how they were doing. I seriously cannot say enough good things. We are so glad to have found her!!

Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)

Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!

Khariss was incredible, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was available for a last-minute dog watch, and from the start, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. She genuinely cares about making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. My dog can be a little particular, but Khariss handled everything with patience and attention to detail. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I never felt the need to check in. When I got back, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of, which says everything. I would trust Khariss again without hesitation and highly recommend her.

Ryon was amazing with our kitties! We cannot recommend Ryon enough. Going out of town is always stressful with 4 kitties at home, but Ryon eased our anxiety by sending daily photos and detailed updates, which was truly appreciated. Ryon clearly spent quality time playing with and comforting our pets. We returned home to four happy, healthy and relaxed animals. Professional, punctual, and a true animal lover, thank you Ryon!

Ella was a great house sitter with our two dogs and cat! She provided regular updates and photos, and the pups seemed to enjoy hanging out with her. She was able to accommodate a last minute medication request after our dog was put on antibiotics. House was in great shape when we returned. Would book again!
