Lauren is a very caring dog sitter; our dogs were well taken looked after. We were kept up to date with all the great pics that Lauren shared with us while we were away. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone needing someone to stay with your pet/S.

Kali had a great time with Eric. He was attentive to all the details and instructions I left, sent regular updates, and communicated quickly and efficiently. I enjoyed the pictures and updates he sent! My apartment was neat and tidy when I came home. I would use him again!

Sarah watched our puppy Zora for 10 days while we traveled. She sent us daily photos and routine updates. Zora was very happy and clearly well cared for. Will definitely be asking her to watch for us again.

Our dogs LOVE their aunties!! We get lots of photo updates, usually of the dogs on laps or wrapped around necks. This was the first overnight and we were never worried about our babies. The dogs slept the next day, unclear if they were worn out or just missed their aunties Highly recommend this duo for any pet sitting needs.

About: Hi! My name is Kyle, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have spent years helping family and friends take care of their pets whenever they needed a sitter or someone to stop by and check in. Animals have always seemed comfortable around me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or just giving them some attention and company, I’m happy to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully so your pet stays happy and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to help! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can often accommodate short-notice requests as well. When caring for pets, my main goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and secure and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where they can relax and feel at home. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner regarding feeding, medications, or special needs. Every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy.

I cannot recommend Leah enough! My dog, Sisa, is reactive, and I’m always nervous about how she’ll handle walks with someone new. [Sitter's Name] navigated her reactivity with total confidence and skill, keeping her safe and calm throughout the week. More importantly, she was incredibly sweet and loving toward Sisa, sending me the best photo updates of her looking happy and relaxed. It provided such immense peace of mind while I was away. Truly a rare find!

Veronica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My six month old puppy Zeke loved her and had such a great time with her and her dog JoJo. She kept me up-to-date on how things were going and sent pictures every day. She stayed at my house and when I returned, it was like I never left… She had cleaned everything up!! She is fantastic!

She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.

Olena was fantastic! She was so helpful and caring towards our two large dogs. I got lots of photos everyday. She walked them often, and gave extra care for our golden’s hot spot. She let us know when she had any questions and was patient when I was slow to respond. She spent the nights in our home and was very respectful of the space. She even offered to vacuum when the dog hair started to pile up! She loved our dogs while we were away and we are so very grateful!

I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!

Tatiana was an amazing caregiver for all three of our dogs! She took extra care to take each pup on his own walk (2x/day) and sent a ton of photos and updates throughout her stay. We did not worry for one second about them, since we knew they were in good hands. I cannot thank her enough for all she did to take good care of our babies.

Hieu and Anna are simply amazing pet sitters. One of our dogs needs special handling while walking in the neighborhood and they were able to handle her - even going on longer than usual walks! They sent us multiple pictures and updates daily, showing the amazing care they were giving our babies. They also were flexible when our travel plans needed to change unexpectedly and stayed an entire extra DAY while we worked on getting home. I definitely recommend them and will rebook again! Rosie and Zoey love their aunties!
