1. Abby C.

“Abby is one of a kind! Professional, kind, energetic, trustworthy! She went above and beyond, treating my dog as if they were her own. I feel so fortunate to have had her and I will only be booking her move forward.”


2. Loretta E.

“This was our initial contact with Loretta. Last minute, very old dog, and a holiday week. special needs and overnights. That all seems like a tough nut to crack. Loretta did just that with maturity and professionalism. We will be asking for her services going forward.”




3. David W.

“David is a great guy! He was easy to communicate with and organize his stay. His response to us while we were away was nearly instantaneous. He was happy to let us know what he and our dog had done that day and would pass along a photo or two. We came home to a happy dog and house that looked like no one had been there at all. Would recommend him for an overnight sitting.”


4. Alisia & John G.

“Alisia was great with both of our dogs during her stay. She left our home in perfect condition and was great to communicate with. Highly recommend and will use her again our next trip.”




5. Michelle & Jennifer H.


“Michelle took amazing care of our dog Skye who needs some extra attention with medicine and care with handling on walks. Lots of great updates, and left our home in beautiful shape. Highly recommend!”


6. Eva M.

“Eva was the best. I could tell from the myriad of videos and pics our fur babies loved her. They did all of their usual home habits and were even loving up on her. I hope we can have back on our next vacay!”


7. Justin S.

“Justin is fantastic. We spoke with Justin the day before we needed him and luckily he was available! We are so happy to have found him. I would highly recommend him!”


8. Bobby Y.

“Bobby has been an incredible dog sitter for Max! He’s attentive, takes the time to play with him, and is great at reading Max’s social cues. It’s clear that Max loves spending time with Bobby, especially on their walks together. I also really appreciate the frequent updates Bobby provides—they always put my mind at ease knowing Max is in such good hands. Highly recommend Bobby for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


9. Ashley B.
“She is literally THE best cat sitter in the world! Ash has watched our 2 cats multiple times and they love her so much. She plays with them, and even brought them little christmas toys for their stockings one year when we were out of town for the holiday. She always sends lots of pictures and loves on them so much, always our first choice for cat sitting when we’re out of town 💛”


10. Courtney Đ.

“Courtney was an amazing dog sitter for us. We had last minute dog-sitting plans fall through (over Christmas!). Not only was she available, but she came over a day or two in advance of our departure to meet me, get the understanding of our house, but most importantly to meet Frank (our old man dog)! Frank is often shy, anxious, and slow to warm up to new people. He’s also really old and thus fairly high-needs for a dog (e.g., has to be carried outside and in, takes medications, is finicky). Courtney made him feel completely at ease and moved to match the dog’s pace. She also sent thorough and kind updates during our whole vacation—always including a picture or two with each update, unprompted. Courtney assured me she had a variety of experience and was not afraid of giving him medicine OR if Frank decided to stay in bed with her at night. She seemed knowledgeable about his breed and confident in her ability to handle any situation that might come up. Regardless, she was a great communicator, confident in her dog watching abilities, and made me feel totally at ease leaving my elderly best friend with her while we went overseas. I totally trust her and would recommend her to anyone (especially an anxious dog-parent, like me) looking for someone to stay with their dog, walk their dog, or whatever! Courtney is was an amazing find and we look forward to having her stay with Frank again! Well, well worth her price.”


11. Georgia E.

“Georgia was so great with my pups! She took them out on multiple walks and followed all care instructions. The dogs were chilling and super relaxed in her care. She’s also super knowledgeable and gave me recommendations for dog training and dog food/products during our meet and greet. Would definitely recommend and would book again! :)”


12. Briana L.

“My cat warmed up to her quickly and she sent pics daily. Thank you so much for your help with cheese while i was away!”


13. Daisy V.
“Daisy was great with taking care of my 6 year old Pug while I was on vacation! She gave me updates when I needed them and my dog lights up every time she takes him for a walk when I’m busy! Great communication and professionalism! Would hire again!”


14. Sam H.

“Sam had great communication! And Pepper loved having Sam sit her while we were gone. We would love to have him help us out again!”


15. Justin R.

“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”


16. Emma J.
“Emma has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and responsibility when it comes to looking after animals, ensuring both their safety and happiness at all times. Emma is highly dependable, organized, and attentive to the unique needs of each pet in their care. Whether it involves feeding, exercising, or providing companionship, Emma approaches every task with professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. Her ability to quickly build trust with both pets and their owners is a testament to her compassionate nature and dedication to animal care. Having worked at an animal shelter alongside Emma and personally entrusted her with the care of my own pets, I can confidently say she goes above and beyond expectations. From regular updates to thoughtful details like maintaining a tidy environment, Emma ensures peace of mind for pet owners while providing exceptional service. I highly recommend Emma to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. Your pets will undoubtedly be in excellent hands.”


17. Monica M.

“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”


18. Christine N.

“Dogs favorite sitter. Christine really goes above and beyond. A genuine dog lover!!”


19. Kimberly Q.
“Kim is a natural with dogs! My dog is generally very shy and nervous around new people, but Kim made her feel comfortable right away, and they were best buds in no time. Kim knew exactly how to approach her (gently, speaking softly) and didn't push her boundaries (waiting for my dog to approach and sniff her, only petting when my dog seemed more comfortable). Kim was quick to make a connection with her, and they both had a ton of fun walking and playing. I don't trust a lot of people with my dog, but I would have no hesitation leaving her under Kim's care!”


20. Kyndra L.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family friends for the past 3 years. I volunteer at a local shelter, so I have pretty good experience with dogs, or so I’d say… I’ve always had a passion for dogs because I’ve realized how much of a blessing it is to have a loyal companion by my side all the time! I’m currently a high school student, so I’d say my schedule is pretty flexible after school (3 pm). I have tutoring occasionally, but I could easily move things around! I have a fenced house and a friendly cat, as well as a friendly Frenchie! I can easily crate your pet if needed as well, but I usually refrain from leaving pets in crates, as I have the time and space to hang out with them.
