7. Carrie M.
“Our dog Kilo loves Carrie so much! We can't say enough good things about her: she's such a thoughtful person, and she always gives Kilo and our cat Lucy a ton of attention, time outside with friends, and snuggles on the couch. Whenever we have to be out of town, it's a relief to know the fur babies are in such good hands. Thank you as always, Carrie and Jonathan!!”
8. Megan J.
“Extremely happy with my service from Megan. MY dog is on the more lowkey side, but she does have some anxiety and takes a daily medication. Megan was extremely responsive, followed all of my care instructions, and I know made my dog feel happy and comfortable in her own home. Thankful for her service and recommend her to everyone!”
9. Jessica F.
“Jessica was simply the best sitter! She kept me updated throughout the sit, and really gave the pups extra attention. We have a puppy-like rescue who is potty training and is full of energy, and she handled him really well. She was very attentive and it was a huge bonus that her dog, Ernie, played with our dog! We also have a senior dog who needed a separate walk and attention, and she was really responsive to his individual needs. Thank you so much, Jessica! We would definitely love to have you sit for us again.”
10. Jenna L.

“Mansa was great - our dog loved her, she was prompt, great at communication, we would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
13. Angela R.
“Angela stayed in our home while we went on a trip to California. Our 3 pups were given all the snuggles and love in her care. It’s such a peace of mind knowing my home and dogs are being watched over by such a caring and responsible person. Angela kept to their schedule/routine, grabbed our mail and even watered my plants. Very thankful we found her and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips.”
14. Iuliia A.
“Iuliia was awesome with our dogs and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!”
15. Ali D.
“Ali is such a warm and kind person and you can tell how comfortable and caring he is with dogs. He was very invested in following my care requests and left my home pristine. I would definitely use him again!”
16. Sade M.
“Sade was excellent! I booked her for a long house-sitting to care for both of my cats and they really enjoyed her. One cat is incredibly anxious and often never comes out with strangers, and the other is a kitten that hadn't known me to be gone overnight before. After a few days both cats were out relaxing and playing as normal with Sade. Sade provided daily updates on my cats while I was away and my place was in perfect condition when I returned. I'll definitely book again!”
17. Loren R.
“Loren was amazing with our senior pup, who went partially blind earlier this year and needs extra TLC, including administration of oral meds and eyedrops. We are always concerned about leaving her and knew she was in great hands with Loren. Loren followed all of our instructions to a tee and took great care of our home as well. We will certainly be requesting her in the future!”
18. Jennifer G.
“Jennifer was great! Love her energy and so did our puppy. She was very communicative throughout the whole process. You can tell she enjoys being around animals. Will certainly use her again!”
19. PAUL B.
“Paul took care of my dog, Daisy, many times. He was a great care giver for her. She was very happy to see Paul, so much so that we, her parents, didn't exist when she saw Paul. Paul is very organized and structured so if you have a routine for your pet, Paul would be an excellent sitter.”
20. May C.
“May was taking care of my 2 dogs for several days. She was very good with them and she left the apartment super clean. I would hire her again. Thank you May 😊”
