“Rob is great. He took care of Dodo several times, and the last time, it was for more than 40 days. I will use his services again when needed. I recommend him to anyone.”


2. Corey & Robert D.


“They were very kind and took good care of Joey. Corey was very communicative, texting updates, answering questions and sending pictures. Robert took him for a walk and Corey even bathed him before I picked him up. Joey had a great visit. I'm very appreciative of the care he received with Corey and Robert.”

4. Vicky D.

“My girl Isla stayed with Vicky for a second time recently and had as great of an experience as the first time. If you want to feel at ease and be updated consistently regarding your pup, Vicky is the person to go to! I look forward to booking her services again.”


5. Leslie D.

“Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my baby Canelito felt safe and comfortable which made me so relieved. As soon as my fur baby met her his tail started wagging :) Leslie was attentive to his needs and provided timely updates that gave me a peace of mind. My first time using this app and booking a service, I would definitely recommend leaving your fur babies under Leslie’s care, such a sweet, caring, and kind sitter! Will be booking again in the near future :)”


6. John S.

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”


7. Dezmond M.

“Dez and wife were great. I felt really good after the initial meet n greet and they certainly eased any concerns l had leaving my pet with strangers. They are dog owners with a nice fenced yard and we're able to accommodate my pet with great care. Whike traveling they provided daily updates, photos & video. I was extremely pleased with their service & will definitely use again & again!”


8. Malchom N.
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”


9. Joe S.

“Joe was a great pet sitter! This was my dogs first time staying away from us ever and I was nervous on how she was going to be. But Joe reassured me that everything was okay and that she was actually being herself. He was responsive and let me know how things are going. I will for sure keep using his services!”


10. Jasmin T.

“Jasmin did an amazing job taking care of my cat. I usually prefer in home pet sitting but I had just moved to Chicago and did not have a place before I needed to travel so boarding was the only option. Jasmin was very welcoming and she did great at helping my cat feel relaxed. She also sent me regular updates and pictures with put me at ease. I highly recommend her!”


11. Luciano & Luciene S.

“This is the second time that I have used the services and so far so good. After Milo returned home, he didn't act unusual or draw any type of suspicion, which made me feel that he was very happy with his caregiver.”


12. Andrea C.

“Andrea was amazing! She had our 2 goldens for 4 nights. She sent photos and videos everyday and kept us updated on how they were doing! They loved staying with her!! Will definitely use again!!”

“She was very good on taking care of my dog was gone for ten days sending video and pictures every day I would definitely recommend and come back later thank you Ariel”


14. Ruben M.

“Our daycare we normally go to had a bordatella outbreak so we couldn’t use them for the weekend we were celebrating our anniversary. We’re so glad we found Ruben! He was very quick to reply and sent plenty of pictures — which we love. Our dog also requires taking medicine which he was able to do with ease and texted a confirmation with us when he gave it to our dog. He was a great substitute and we’re hoping to have our dog stay with him again soon!”


15. Shirley M.


“Shirley is the best petsitter! These aren’t just empty words—we’ve had sad experiences before, but with Shirley, everything changed. Our Dema was so happy and comfortable with her! We finally had peace of mind, knowing our baby was under careful and loving supervision. Shirley sent us updates and photos three times a day, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about our pug. Her place is perfectly set up for pets, with plenty of toys, cozy beds, and all the conditions needed to make them feel at home. Thank you so much, Shirley! We will definitely trust you with Dema again and recommend you to all our friends!”


16. Janet & Jacopo D.

17. Joe G.

“Joe is AMAZING! We feel so lucky to have found such a kind and attentive person to take care of our pup when we cannot. Joe shared lots of pictures, videos, and updates to keep us posted while we were away. Our pup has a lot of energy and he got a lot of attention playing and running with other dogs and came home super happy and tired. We will be back and thank you for your awesome care.”


18. Jenny Y.
