1. Sophia E.
“Sophia was incredible with our lovable but sometimes stubborn dog Frank for the week we were away! Her updates were so nice and let us enjoy our time away knowing Frank was in great hands.”
2. Asel O.
“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”
3. Nikki L.
“seriously outstanding service from miss. Nikki ! when I came home my cat was so unbothered that I had been gone a whole week, only because Nikki was so great. I got respectful, great communication every day, I was so busy on my work trip she made it so much less stressful! would book her again.”
4. Jonny M.
“Jonny was absolutely pawsome! He treated our 1-year-old Golden Retriever, Ollie, like his own furry child. Not only did he keep us updated with plenty of Ollie pics (because, let’s be real, we’re obsessed), but he also made sure we felt totally relaxed with Ollie in his care. Highly, highly recommend Jonny – he’s top dog in our book, and we’ll definitely be calling him again! 🐾”
5. Emily H.
“Emily was great my little old man, rocky. She was patient with his walks and sent me pics to keep me updated. Will definitely be using her services again!”
6. Alexandra D.
“Alexandra was a wonderful sitter for our home and pets. Animals seemed very comfortable and happy in her company and she sent lovely updates daily. She was very responsive and accommodating and took excellent care of our home. Thanks for everything, Alexandra!”
7. Marquis S.
“Marquis has proven to be an exceptional caretaker for Jax. With his genuine love for dogs and his responsible and attentive nature, Marquis has become a trusted and reliable choice for any pet owner in need of a dog sitter. I’d highly recommend him and I’ll be sure to book him again to watch Jax.”
8. Steph L.
“Steph was extremely communicative. She took great care of our cats, Sushi and Olive, and shared frequent updates which made us feel like they were in good hands while we were in vacation.”
9. Anais T.
“Anais is the best!! My boyfriend and I went on our first long trip away from our puppy, Anais sent lots of pictures and videos every day. She was very responsible and responsive to our texts. In addition to taking great care of our puppy, she cleaned our entire apartment! Definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”
10. Lia F.
“Lia is a phenomenal house sitter who took amazing care of our two dogs while we were traveling out of town. It’s clear that she clicked with our dogs, and they became instant friends. She stayed in touch with us and provided timely updates throughout. She followed our instructions closely and even made sure to clean our apartment before leaving. We will definitely become repeat clients of Lia!”
11. Charlie U.
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
12. Sadi L.
“Sadi was terrific. She took the time to meet our pups before we left on our trip. Very communicative and sent plenty of vids. Would absolutely recommend Sadi!”
13. Nalani V.
“Nalani was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dogs, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and given lots of love and attention. She kept me updated throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. My dogs were so happy and calm when I returned, which is a true testament to how well she cared for them. I would absolutely recommend Nalani to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
14. Layla K.
“Having never asked anyone but friends or family to look after our pets/house, this whole process was stressful to say the least. Then we met Layla! Layla is pleasant, patient and soft-spoken. At the time she sat for us both dogs were on meds, and Layla was diligent in administering them. During the two weeks we were away Layla sent us pictures and videos of our pups. If she had questions or concerns she reached out to us. Needless to say we came home to two happy dogs. The dogs were well taken care of and our house was looked after. We are grateful to have found Layla and will definitely be booking with her again.”
15. Anastasiia & Ivan M.
“Anastasiia was wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitten while we were away. He was terrified when we left, but soon after we walked out, she sent pictures of him warming up to her. We were so relieved! She made us feel comfortable by sending so many pics and videos of him looking happy and active each day of our trip. We trusted her in our home as well. We hope to use her services again next time we go away!”
16. Yong L.
“Yong and I have a 2.5 year old orange cat that we rescued back in 2021. He's always been an avid animal lover regardless of types or breeds. He grew up with Jindo, a family dog for almost 13 years. He regularly takes care of our neighbor's two cats whenever they go on vacations. I can confirm in first hand that he's a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
17. Jessica M.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing as a house sitter. She was great with our two dogs and they are not the easiest to handle. One is a blind German Shepherd and the other is a skiddish Bernese Mountain Dog. But right away she had them both cuddling up to her. She's a natural. She also took excellent care of the house, was super informative and responsive, and made us feel very confident leaving our dogs and house with her while on vacation. I'd give 6 stars if I could.”
18. Emre C.
About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.
19. Nicole W.
“Nicole’s dog walking business is taking off. She cares so deeply for animals and that definitely carries over into her walks/work. She is truly a “dog’s best friend.” :)”
20. Jeremy A.
“We had a last minute trip and he was able to take care of my 4 furkids. Received daily updates while we were away. If we ever need a sitter, he will definitely be back.”
