“Belinda is one of the most incredible dog sitters EVER! She communicated effectively, followed every instruction on caring for our two little puppies, and ensured that they were loved and well cared for during my wife’s and I family vacation! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable professional dog sitter.”
“Anna was great! This was a long time for us to be away from our dogs so I was nervous but Anna made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She really took the time to get to know our dogs and went above and beyond. We will definitely reach out for future bookings! Thanks again Anna!”
“Tiffany is simply amazing and gives us peace of mind whenever we need to leave our dog at home. She loves Zoe as if she is her own. Thank you Tiffany for always taking extra special care of her!”
“Kathryn was amazing with our senior Golden over the Holiday break. She even took the initiative to research and purchase some doggie socks and hot spot medicine for a hot spot on her foot we have been trying to get rid of. Our neighbor even ran into Kathryn on a walk and couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful she was and wanted her number for her pups. I’m so thankful I found someone I trust and feel so comfortable with in my home with my Daisy. Will definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“We love knowing that if Lori is looking after our Lucky when we are out of town, we do not have to worry about anything. She is so good with dogs and is so knowledgeable about them. We cannot thank her enough for everything she does for him. Highly recommend!”
“Mark H. cared for our two dogs for 6 days recently, and we will definitely call him again. He kept us constantly updated with pictures, videos, and text messages about the dogs' daily activities, health, and welfare. He made sure they were well-fed, exercised, brushed, and cared for according to our directions and it was obvious that he enjoyed caring for them. He stayed in our home while we were gone and was super clean and respectful, even laundering his bedding and tidying up the home before we got back from our trip. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him highly!”
“Paris took great care of my sometimes anxious dog. She also looked after my fish and chickens. She clearly cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well looked after.”
“Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Holly took good care of our senior dog Bear. Communicated daily on how he was doing. She genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs. Bear even gave her kisses (and it takes him a while to warm up to anyone).”
“Brendon and Adriana were wonderful. I've had mixed results on Rover. This was the best experience I've had. They spent time meeting my dog with me prior to the booking. They followed the directions we discussed very well. They sent pictures to me multiple times per day. They even rolled with an issue with my house alarm like it was nothing and it wasn't even their fault. They're just very easy-going nice people that truly care about animals. My dog has very sensitive skin and when Adriana notice some hot spots, she texted me right away and asked what to do. She was worried about my dog like it was her dog. What more could you ask for? I'm so glad I found them. I hope to use them more in the future. THANK YOU!”
About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
“David and Beth did a great job looking after our pets while we were away. They were understanding and flexible when a few unexpected things came up, which really put us at ease. We appreciated their care and would be happy to have them look after our pets again in the future!”

Claudia was wonderful! Our pup is always a little nervous with new people but by day 2 she was snuggled up with Claudia. She sent frequent photos and updates, was great at keeping Kaya on her regular schedule, helped out with other household tasks and left the house clean. I appreciate knowing that Kaya is being well taken care of because it allows me to enjoy my vacation! Kaya will be looking forward to her next stay with Claudia.
Paris is awesome! She was booked to puppy sit our 10 week old Irishsdoodle and she ended up meeting all three of our cats which takes a special person to lure them all out from under the bed when a new person is in the house. We will definitely rebook her again. She is thorough, trustworthy and very good with both dogs and cats. If you need a walker or a sitter or a house stay, she will be excellent!
We are returning customers of Holly and we will seek her out again as the need arises. She provides in-home care for our Maltipoo and we return to the same happy pup we left. Traveling may have its stressors, but leaving Lily and our home in Holly’s care is not one of them. Five stars!!
My husband and I went on a trip for ten days for our anniversary. My mom watched our dogs for the first four days and then handed off to Monica for the last part of it. Monica was responsive and communicative, and worked well with my mom to hand off the key and the pup instructions. She sent photos and updates frequently and took good care of our dogs. she was very upfront about her work schedule which helped manage expectations. When we got home, the house was in great condition and the puppies seemed happy and healthy. Throughout the process, Monica was willing to do a couple of meet and greets ahead of time and did a great job with communication she was quick to respond. I will definitely be hiring her in the future.
Anna was great! This was a long time for us to be away from our dogs so I was nervous but Anna made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She really took the time to get to know our dogs and went above and beyond. We will definitely reach out for future bookings! Thanks again Anna!
Highly, highly recommend Megan. She was so sweet and attentive to my two doodles. She walked them multiple times a day and brushed them like I asked. She stayed at my house and when I came back it was in perfect order. Megan is very kind and trustworthy. I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Megan!
Lety did an amazing job taking care of our home and our two older girls, and their specific needs, while we were away. We truly appreciated the care she took and the thoughtful updates she sent while we were away. It gave us complete peace of mind, and we would absolutely book her again.
Alina was terrific in so many way. Excellent pet care service, Sent us daily updates & pictures of Harrigan. She took such terrific care with our cat. We knew he was in good hands with Alina. She also took extra care of my home & left it in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Alina for your pet services but hope she will be available for our future cat sitting!
