1. Sarah M.

“My first experience with Sarah as a house and pet sitter was wonderful. She was incredibly communicative through the booking and sitting process, responding to messages right away, and sending multiple pictures a day while I was away. Our first meet and greet made me feel very comfortable with her taking care of my two large dogs. The dogs were very well taken care of while I was gone, including medication administration, and my house was pristine when I got home. Would definitely hire Sarah again!”


2. Logan W.

“We highly recommend Logan. He was great with our dog Moxie. Logan sent update texts with pictures several times while we were away. Definitely will hire Logan again.”


3. Emma N.


“We had a great experience with Emma! The communication was excellent! Emma went above and beyond when helping with sorting out a delay with our dog food delivery. We highly recommend her.”


4. Faith D.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable. I do live near a dog park, if approved by dog owner to take them there.


5. Alexis E.
“Alexis has watched my dog multiple times and she is one of very few people who I do trust with my girl because she has certain allergy needs and requires a bit more attention then normal for her breed and she always comes home happy and healthy just the way I drop her off.”


6. Skylar W.

“Skylar was excellent with our dog and cat while we were on a long weekend trip. Excellent communication and she took amazing care of our space!”


7. Christine M.
“Christine is an ideal person to be taking care of pets. She’s well qualified, as she has extensive experience taking care of animals. Any pet she cares for will be cared for and loved like one of her own. She’s communicative and reliable, as well as an all around hard worker. Both owners and pets alike will find her to be an absolute joy.”


8. Laura S.

“Laura was wonderful to deal with. She put us at ease with proactive communication. My dogs were well cared for and my house was in perfect order when we got home. Will definitely use her again.”


9. Max K.


“Max did a great job with my pets. I got lots of pictures and updates and felt that my pets were safe and well cared for even with their special diets and medications. Max also left my house neat and tidy and collected my mail and packages. I will definitely be booking Max again.”


10. Claire H.
“Claire is a wonderful animal caregiver! In addition to their own array of animals, they have cared for my cat Patrick since he was a kitten, and he is absolutely obsessed with them, if that tells you anything about their demeanor. They have also loved my family's senior puppies with such gentle care, as well as my friend's young deaf dog, who is crazy and difficult to control, if you don't know how to connect with him. They care so much, not getting upset at something like an accident on the floor, or an angry yip because you touched a sensitive spot, they still speak calmly and interact with empathy, like you would caring for any other member of the family! No special need or personality quirk is too big. They just want the best for your furry family member, and it shows! Let them love on your pets for you, when you can't be there!”


11. Allison R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, including 2 of my own. Experience pet sitting a wide variety of breeds - from chihuahuas to pit bulls & everything in between. I’m currently available 7 days a week (pretty much 24/7) for dog walking, pet sitting, and/or boarding while in transition from college to my research career. I care for pets by ensuring they get plenty of attention as well as a good walk or ample playtime to get their energy out.


12. Anna K.

“Anna was great! Our pets were well taken care of and she was respectful of our home. She sent us photos as requested too. Will definitely book with her again.”




13. Leslie G.


“Leslie is awesome! She stayed with our dogs overnight. She was easy to work with, kept us up to date, and sent pictures. I felt very comfortable with her in our home!”


14. Amy I.
“Amy has a deep love for animals, one she has carried her entire life. There has never been a point in her life where she has not had at least one pet of her own, and every one of her fur babies is specially cared for and loved endlessly. Her love for animals, especially dogs and cats, extends beyond those within her own household, and can be anyone from a relative’s pet to a stranger at the park. She maintains a safe, clean, and joyful environment in her own home to keep her pets as healthy and happy as possible. She is attentive to each of their needs and knows them well enough to understand what they want based on their body language, even a specific toy! She has experience with kittens, puppies, high-energy pets, senior pets, and special needs pets. She even helped me care for my cat after his surgery that required a long recovery, and her gentleness with him and patience with his medication made his recovery much smoother. If you hope to find someone who treats your pet as their own, allowing you to peacefully enjoy time away from home without any worry, Amy is who you want to be responsible for your pets.”


15. ryan m.
“Ryan currently pet sits, and house sits for me. He is open minded, sensitive, intuitive, receptive, and compassionate… about both people, and animals. In my opinion, these are traits that everyone needs, especially in someone who is responsible for watching over your pets, (family), and home. He’s has helped my two dogs, and cat, make great strides, with training, and developing better behaviors.”


16. Selena S.
“Selena is the absolute best! Your pet will be in good hands. She is so kind and genuinely loves animals. My dog Rigby loves her and is always excited to see her. 10/10 would recommend.”




17. Karah B.
“Karah has been great with my dog, Stella. I had her watch my dog while I was at work and she played with her made sure she had food and water. She would also send me updates on how she was doing while I was away. My dog loves her and that makes me happy.”


18. Cheyenne S.

“Cheyenne's communication was great and she treated our dogs like her own! We are so happy we reached out to her.”


19. Crymson T.

“Crymsom was wonderful!!! Bailey really connected with her. I highly recommend her.”


20. Jennifer P.
“Jennifer has always enjoyed being around dogs. She has always been good with my families pets. Jen is the one in the room sitting with the dogs. My family loves when Jens watches the dogs and she enjoys taking walks with them as well.”
