“Alex and Christina were very sweet. They sent lots of updates and spent a lotttt of time with our separation-anxiety cat while we were away for the week, and she seemed perfectly content when we returned home! We were glad to have them to help us!”
2. Ana M.
“Ana did such a great job ! We will definitely have her again. She was with our furbaby for a week and took great care of him and our house!! Thank you so much!!”
3. TeAsia H.
“Absolutely amazing experience with TeAsia! Having a sitter in one's home takes things to a whole different level. We felt reassured from our very first meeting and our pets loved her instantly! We received multiple, detailed status updates each day along with pictures. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than the one we left behind. Cannot recommend TeAsia highly enough. We look forward to having her in our home again!”
4. Mary W.
“Mary did an excellent job with my dog Sophie. She had to go pick up some medication at the Vet Clinic that came in after I left town & she had noticed some diarrhea so she contacted me to find out what to do. She gave her medication for that & one of the windows leaked water in my house & she took a photo & texted it to me so I could contact the window guy to come caulk the window. She took Sophie on nice walks & just really bonded well with her. I highly recommend Mary to care for any pet. She has a huge heart for animals!”

7. Greta V.
“Greta is fantastic! She was very responsive both prior to our trip when we were planning things out and while we were away. I felt very reassured with my pets in her care. Two of my pets are older and have special needs, and she dealt with them wonderfully. It really relieved a lot of stress knowing they were being cared for so well. My house was in great shape when I returned, very nice to return home and be able to just settle in. For future pet needs I will definitely reach out to Greta again!!”

12. Alora R.
About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends furry babies for a few years now, and absolutely love it! I love all animals, but big dogs will always have their special place in my heart🥰 I work full time at a surgery center M-F, but I’m home by 3pm everyday! By the time I get home from work, the fur babies are well rested and ready to play! My older sister has a pit bull with high anxiety, who requires a daily dose of oral medication. I frequently house/dog sit for her, so I am well versed in giving animals their proper dosages, medications and following timelines. For my clients, I follow every pet parents guidelines when it comes to their babies, because I know that you know what’s best for them!!
13. Molly E.
“We are very pleased with Molly's services. She sent multiple pics/videos and took excellent care of our canine's and home. We highly recommend her for house/pet sitting!”
14. Jennifer E.
“Jennifer use to take care of my cat when I would leave out the country. She would always send me photos and keep me updated on my baby. She was a great babysitter but sadly my baby has passed away from old age.”
15. Colleen M.
“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
16. Shaylin S.
“Shaylin has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Remi. She takes exceptional care of her, always ensuring she's happy, safe, and well-exercised. Shaylin's genuine love for animals really shines through, and I trust her completely with Remi. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter.”
17. Vivian G.
“Vivian has always been fantastic when it comes to watching our dog. This is the second time we hired her and we , and our dog , love having her !”
18. Danielle M.
“Thank you Danielle! You are our babysitter from now on...we appreciate you taking great care of Bentley, Rex and Bella. It is a wonderful (and relaxing) feeling knowing they get such loving care while they are with you. We will get our next dates set up with you soon! You have an amazing touch with them. Thank you!🐾”
19. Maria L.
“Maria has been dog/house sitting for us for a long time. She is trustworthy, professional and very loving to our dog. She always keeps us posted and sends pictures so we can enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog is well taken care of. She takes him on walks and keeps him entertained. We know he loves it when Maria is watching him. I highly recommend Maria for your dog and house sitting needs”
20. Paige S.
“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”
