“Sammi was wonderful. She agreed to sit for us at last minute over Christmas after a sitter on another site let us down. She was truly a lifesaver as I was panicking that I wouldn't have anyone to look after our cats while we were overseas for almost two weeks. She was wonderful with our three cats, one of which has a bit of a disability. She took it all in stride and followed instructions for food and meds to a tee. She stayed over most nights and left our house clean and tidy. We returned home to very happy cats. Sammi is trustworthy, reliable and a great communicator. She sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Sammi!”
“Han did a wonderful job with our dog for 8 days! Our dog responded positively to her at the meet & greet and you could see Han’s affection for dogs. Throughout our vacation Han was communicating and sending pictures of our dog. She was kind and respectful and did a great job sitting our golden doodle in our family home. I would highly recommend Han - we look forward to booking her again.”
“Katherine stepped in last minute when another sitter had to cancel two hours into our stay! We are so appreciative, thank you so much Katherine! She was very nice and kind and our dogs seemed well cared for.”
“Anita worked with us and with another pet sitter to help make sure we had care and coverage for our English Setter while we were taken up with my 98 year old mom being in the hospital for a few days. Despite illness in her own family, she was key to making sure we had all the bases covered.”
“This review is long overdue! Ashley has been AWESOME with our senior, stubborn dog, Pumpkin. She’s been prompt with responding and the house sitting/drop in’s went very smoothly. She also was really great about letting us know what time she would be arriving and leaving so we could plan accordingly. She went above and beyond with showing love and taking care of P - we were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. We are extra grateful for Ashleys attention and care - we are really glad Ashley is in Pumpkins village! Thank you so much again! 💕💕”
“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”
“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”
“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”
“Vanessa was great with my high need cat. She can administer meds without issue. She went above and beyond and stayed longer with my cat since my flight was getting in late. I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Toshiko took great care of our critters, with thorough communication and cute photos. She made our time away so much easier. Thank you, Toshiko!”
About: Hi there! My name is Erik, a pet sitter with many years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, hedgehogs, and more. Truth be told, I’ve always done this for friends and family just for fun, so why not give this a go! I grew up with both small and large dogs, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. As a full-time professional at a philanthropic foundation, I bring reliability, professionalism, and great communication to every pet-sitting job. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your furry family member/s, so I always treat them as if they were my own. I am very active, so if your pet needs a good walk or play session, that’s right up my alley! Per request, I do like to send “pup-dates” – short (TikTok like) video clips of your pet enjoying their time in my care, whether it’s a walk, play session, or just lounging around. I’d love to help care for your pets—feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I do work full time, but I do have a hybrid schedule. Currently I am Not available on Tuesday or Wednesday, but can make availability outside of these times. At the moment, I will not be able to bring any pets to my residence since I do have other roommates. Sorry for this inconvenience.
“Sjocelin did a great job with our dogs!”
“Sai was phenomenal! He was super communicative, very punctual, and our fur babies were well taken care of. Daily texts with pictures and very flexible to accommodate a later than expected arrival home. Thank you!”
“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”
“Christina is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is kind, warm, responsible, a fantastic communicator… the list goes on. My family was away for a week from our elderly sick pup and our newer pup and she not only handled it well - she probably did better than we do! We will use her again and hope to see her again just because she’s that great!”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 rescue pups overnight and Whitney went above and beyond to make sure both they and we were comfortable! Her pictures and updates immediately put us at ease and we knew they were in good hands. We could tell from the moment we met Whitney that she's a bit of a "dog whisperer" - our pups are quite high maintenance and she was truly fantastic with them. Thank you Whitney!”
About: I love animals and have had cats most my life. I have fostered over 100+ cats over the years supporting local rescues. I’ve administered medication, nursed several cats back to health, and helped socialize the shy. I’ll take care of your fur baby as they were my own so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I currently work remotely in healthcare technology. I have a flexible schedule and am available for boarding any day of the week. I am also available to stop by for check ins either morning before 10:00 am and after 5:00 pm weekdays and flexible Saturday and Sunday. I take great care in the safety of your pet by checking that doors and windows are secured. To ensure the health of your pet, food/water bowls are cleaned and refreshed daily, I scoop and clean litter box multiple times a day. I have beds, toys, scratch posts to provide for your pets needs and will pay with them for 30-60 per day to ensure their attention needs are accommodated.
“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”
“Sjoribel was a great sitter for Yoshi! She was super communicative, sent a bunch of pictures, and the house looked great when I got home. 10/10 would recommend for dogsitting!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Elsheba, who took care of my two cats for an overnight stay. She is very professional, friendly, and attentive to my cats’ needs. She followed my care instructions carefully, kept the cats company, and sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She communicated with me well ahead of the appointment and throughout the stay and the kitties were happy and relaxed upon return. I would highly recommend her to anyone with fur baby needs! 🐱🐱”

17. Monica N.
“Monica enjoys and cares very much for all of the many cats that she has housed during the past two years. Most of the cats have been foster kittens. She bathes, grooms, plays with each of them. Monica watches them closely and identifies when they are sick, scared, lonely or hungry. Multiple times she has switched foods for kittens until she finds the type that they enjoy the most. I am particularly impressed with the way Monica slowly introduces cats that we house to each in a controlled manner over several days or weeks allowing them to interact as they are ready but also keeping the cats that are more timid safe and comfortable. Monica is knowledgeable, caring and diligent with cats. I can't imagine a better person to watch other's cats.”
