“Maia has been our dog sitter for quite some time now. She is always on time and has adapted well to our crazy pup. He is just so happy to see her! Maia is a lovely young lady, kind and gentle. So glad she is with us.”
“Ashly was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! They can definitely be a handful at times, but she followed all of my instructions very thoroughly, from their specific feeding schedule to the way they go potty in the yard and even how to clean up afterward. I really appreciated how thorough, nice, and attentive she was, and it showed. I came home to happy pups and a spotless house! She also kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. This was the longest amount of time I left the dogs. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter.”
“Jessica has watched our three dogs a few times and is always communicative, respectful of our house, and spends time and takes good care of our dogs. We will continue to use her for our dog sitting needs.”
“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”
“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”
“Could not be happier with Marideth's house-sitting! She took great care of both my mother's and my own cats while we were away. She also went the extra mile to make sure our trash was out and snow shoveled when the snow came! 10/10 would book her again!”
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Ciara was a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed overnight for a couple days with my two dogs and she kept me very updated (with pictures) the whole time we were gone which was great! I would definitely recommend!!”
“Veronica took care of our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. She communicated often (including photos!) and left the house so tidy. It was a pleasure working with her, and we will totally book her the next time we need a sitter.”
“Haley did amazing with our baby, kept us up to date with how things were and when she got there and when she left..very responsive and dependable. Will definitely be using her again :)”
“Bear loved spending time with Christina! Lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles! We greatly appreciated the updates and pictures she provided while we were away as it gave us peace of mind! She also took great care of the house. We are hoping to book with Christina again!”
“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”
“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

“Nicole was an amazing dog sitter! She worked from home so she could stay with my anxious pup. Communication was excellent - timely responses and I got pictures every day. She even left a little postcard of pictures she took of my dog for me when I get home! So cute! I felt comfortable with her at my house, which she left as tidy as she found it. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets.”

“Emily was fantastic!. It’s such a weight off our shoulders to be able to go away knowing our crew was in good hands. It was one thing I didn’t have to stress or worry about. For once I didn’t feel guilty leaving them. We would love if she would agree to care for them again.”
“I am beyond grateful for the incredible care Hillary provided to my two rescue dogs, Astrid and Rocco. These pups aren’t the easiest to look after—they come with a full set of challenges and sensitivities—but she handled everything with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. From the thorough pre-visit questions to the daily updates (complete with thoughtful notes and adorable photos), it was clear that Astrid and Rocco were in the best hands. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure both dogs felt safe and comfortable. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands and respects the unique needs of rescue animals!”

Jackie continues to be awesome. One of my pups got sick and she took him to the vet and then cared for him. She reported vet findings clearly and what meds he needed administered so I could easily take over when I got home. The other two pups were fine and she also gave them the love and care they needed. We can always tell when the dogs have been well cared for because while they’re very happy to see us, they don’t seem at all stressed. Just switching people who care about them.

Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!
Kayla was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to leave our apartment in great shape! We were able to enjoy our travel without worrying about the care of our little cat - receiving daily pictures and confirmation of arrivals and departures. Kayla made the process super easy/simple, giving us so much peace of mind. :)
Haley was a wonderful sitter. Her attention to detail showed from the first pre-sit meeting, taking notes & asking pertinent questions. Her communication was excellent through the weekend & made us feel confident our sometimes difficult pets were in good hands. I'd recommend her to anyone and would be happy to have her care for my pets again.
Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!
Once again, a great experience with Judith. She is timely, experienced and tends to all the needs of my dog, Earl. When I return home he is relaxed and the home is in the exact same condition when I left. Judith is the only overnight sitter who I trust. I don’t even check in while away.
Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
