Rosey is a conscientious and kind sitter who always makes sure your pets are well tended to — and that you feel like you can relax and have a good time!! The last time Rosey stayed at our house our dog gave her a little trouble by barking outside late at night. She handled it so well and she knew I felt terrible and even left me a cupcake so I wouldn’t feel so guilty, which is more than I could’ve possibly asked for. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.

We are very comfortable with Tessa. She took care of our elderly dog including two daily medications. We got updates and pictures and our dog was in good spirits when we returned. We have already booked our next appointment with her, so we're very happy with the care our dog received.

When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future

My fiancée and I feel like we’ve hit the jackpot after adding Abi to our lives! She came to our home before our trip to meet us and our girls, ask plenty of questions, and see how the dogs responded to her presence. She is warm and patient, and even our super anxious/epileptic dog took to her quickly (a rare occurrence). She was meticulous in reviewing our care instructions for our needy crew (two dogs on several meds). She texted us pictures while we were away, asked follow up questions, and truly put our minds at ease seeing how much she cared for our girls. We can’t thank her enough for the ways she impressed us, and hope to have her return soon!

About: I've had two family dogs for 9 years, one of which was my sole responsibility (lived with me) for three years. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, & dogs with special dietary needs. I currently only have to physically go to class on average 2-3 times a week for three hours a day maximum. Other than that I am studying and watching lectures from home. My apartment is spacious with pet friendly furniture. My building has a dog park and is also in a very walkable area for nice longer walks. I encourage a regular walk, play, cuddle schedule but am also comfortable entertaining and caring for more sedentary, older dogs.

About: I grew up with dogs and other animals, and I absolutely love anything furry - going on walks with dogs is one of my favorite activities! I work full time, but I am available to walk dogs during the late afternoons, evenings and all day Saturday. I don't have my own pets, so I have lots of time! I can care for your dog as you see fit! I like to see dogs enjoy themselves and be doggy, and am also very capable of keeping them under control.

Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having

About: I’ve grownup with family dogs my whole life. When I was 13 I started a small dog walking business around my neighborhood. When I was 16 I got my own dog who became my best friend. When I was 18 I did an internship at a dog boarding place. I’ve had experience with all kinds of doggy personalities and can’t wait to get to know your pup! I have my own pitbull mixed dog named Coco who I care for daily. We go on adventures outside and spend a lot of time cuddling. She is the most important thing to me in the world. I care deeply for animals and I take the time to get to know each animal individually because making them feel loved and safe is my main goal. I am able to bathe, give medication, etc.. if needed. I am very comfortable with all aspects of dog care.

Virginia was a tremendous house and a pet sitter for us! She took care of both our dog and our cat as well as simple things around the house like the mail etc. from the first day I was completely reassured when she sent me photos and she always answered promptly if I checked in. I would absolutely recommend her and would book her again!

Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!

About: I've had dogs since my 20s (already 40)they are the best companions. They are friends, therapists and best buddies. I want to take care of your doggie like it's mine. You will feel relax with Bertie and family care. I will make sure that are comfortable and enjoy a nice time. It fits perfectly, since I already have dogs and I work from home (flexible schedule). There is no problem in doing daily doggie routine for me. I enjoy walks with the dogs on the area. I have 4 dogs to make them company and have fun times. Also my kids love dogs.
