Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.

I booked house sitting with Blythe because pet hotels stress my senior baby out. Blythe went above and beyond taking care of my senior baby. She did everything I asked and more. She updated me with pictures and my baby looked very comfy and happy. The whole process was very smooth and stress free. I will definitely be booking with Blythe again and recommend you do as well!

Melissa is genuinely amazing. From the meet and greet to the moment we returned home, I’m so grateful and impressed by her. She kept our boys active and happy (and handled our big puppy so well!) Melissa communicated so well, and we returned to the house just as we left it. Highly recommend Melissa. She really cares about the dogs and making you feel comfortable while you’re away.

Loved Daniela! She sent a ton of pictures and updates and our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. She even bought our pup a (dog friendly) birthday cake for his 6th birthday. It was such a comfort knowing we had a dog lover staying in our house with our dogs so we were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation.

I had Carolina do some dog sitting in my home while I was out of town and I could not be happier. She took great care of my senior dog, Joey. He had plenty of exercise and walks, was well loved, she kept him great company and treated him like he was her own. Joey has some medical issues and requires medications throughout the day and she was very diligent about following his schedule. She gave constant updates, pictures and videos, which was much appreciated. Carolina was extremely respectful of my home, and pretty sure my place looked better than when I left. The next time I need someone to look after my old guy, I hope Carolina is available, I highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience with Maiah and would absolutely recommend her. Our beagle can be a bit high-maintenance, but Maiah was so great with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in trustworthy, kind, and capable hands. Maiah was also an excellent communicator--we received regular updates, photos, and quick responses, which made it easy to relax while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

I don't want to leave too positive a review (even though it is 100% warranted) because the last time I did that our sitter got so busy we are not able to book them anymore. All joking aside, Sara was beyond wonderful. She provided us with updates (even during a major storm), pictures and most importantly to us, she went above and beyond with our taking care of our post surgical Ollie who is needing a lot of extra care.

About: Ex restaurant owner turned private chef and animal sitter (what is this life?!). Love meeting all the silly kitties and playful doggies on this app. I have two cats and a pitbull puppy. I specialize in giving insulin if needed, medication/pills, and telling your cat/dog how pretty they are. Very flexible, wide open schedule right now! My schedule was limited to cat visits but now I’m open to pups now that my puppy isn’t as demanding of my time I have two very nice dog friendly cats and a crazy puppy!! I also have an empty room that fully set up for cat boarding! Tons of windows and couches

Julianna was incredible! She stayed at my house for a week while we were gone to watch Sophia. She kept me updated on everything that was going on and gave her some extra love when she needed it. Sophia doesn’t love being away from us but Julianna made sure she was okay and did everything she could to make sure she was happy! Would definitely recommend her <3

About: Hello! I am a dog lover through and through, as I’ve spent much of my life caring for my own pups and dog sitting for friends and family. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a little over a year, where I was responsible for managing large groups of dogs. We regularly fed, trained, and administered a variety of meds to the dogs in our care. I had the opportunity to work with many different dogs as well, from senior dogs with special needs to young, energetic puppies of all sizes! I have always been extremely passionate about understanding dog behaviors so that I can provide the best care for every pup :) I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your pups! I’m available Mon-Fri and I can be flexible regarding timing. Most weekends are open for me as well—just communicate what is needed and I will try my best to make myself available :) I always provide a safe, comfortable environment at your home while sticking to a structured routine of potties, feeding, and/or any medication needs. I’ll do my best to ensure your pet feels relaxed and confident while you’re away!

About: Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away. I am currently working as an 8th grade teacher. I am able to get to your home between the hours of 4pm-10pm on weeknights. I am available all day on Saturdays. I am available Sundays after 10:30am. I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!

We came back to a clean home and happy pets, a credit to her care and professionalism. Definitely recommend. Thank you, Lynette!!

Steely my dog was in great hands with Megan. He was very happy to see her when she came back after the meet and greet. She kept me up to date regularly and sent me multiple pictures a day which made me feel so good being away. She asked appropriate questions regarding his care instructions. Also the residents in my 55 and over apartment building were very complimentary about her. I would absolutely have her take care of my boy again. Thank you Megan!🩷

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEW - that guy’s a doo-doo face… Sawyer clearly loves dogs and communicates just fine! I tend to over communicate and he had no problem responding to all my messages. I love getting all the pic updates, too! He’s experienced and my handsome staffy boy took to him immediately! My dog can be a handful on a leash and around other dogs but he must have handled him just fine because no bad reports! 💯 recommend Sawyer! 👍
