Summar is a wonderful, thorough, and thoughtful pet sitter! She took excellent care of our senior dog for 11 nights in our home. We really appreciated the clear & detailed updates she provided, including great photos and descriptions of the puzzles and fun they had together that day. Summar is so professional, patient & kind, and didn’t bat an eye at our long list of instructions! Our dog was clearly so content and comfortable staying in our own home under Summar’s attentive and sweet care. This was our first time working with Summar, but certainly won’t be our last! Her commitment to both pets and people is unmatched.

About: I have been taking care of my two dogs, Sophie and Chase, and my cat, Shadow, for most of my life. My parents are very busy with work, so originally my dogs would be stuck outside or in a cage all day. Obviously I felt this was negative for their livelihoods so I stepped up and trained them to the best of my ability. I found the toys they liked and the best ways for them to learn. Eventually, they were able to be calm and comfortable inside the house at all times. I care for my pets with great love, kindness, and consistency and I would do the same for your pets. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can come multiple times throughout the day, working around when you need me. I will care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that my client states. I will ask specific questions indicating everything that their pet can use and play with, and areas that we can walk to for some outside time.

Gabby was wonderful! Our dog is an easy-going guy in our apartment but has a lot of anxiety around strangers and new things. Gabby was patient and attentive with him, extremely communicative, and respectful of our house. She went above and beyond to give our dog plenty of walks and love while we were gone. Highly recommend Gabby to care for your pet while you're away! :)

I cant say enough good things about Salma. She went completely above and beyond in everything she did - we received fantastic daily updates with photos, she monitored our two cats as they got to know each other, and our home is absolutely twice as clean as when we left it. Truly the best pet sitter and housesitter I’ve ever hired. Leaving my cats for two weeks was stressful but Salma gave us the best peace of mind we could ask for. I can’t recommend her more. Truly a gem!!

Anna was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend. She sent regular communications and photos so I knew my pets were in good hands. Both of my pets require meds and she was able to easily handle that process at feeding time. On top of that, one of my pets had a medical episode during her stay (it happens, but was still unexpected) and while I know it was scary to witness she was able to help my dog through it and calmly communicate the series of events that led up to it so I could relay to my vet.

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Anna is a top notch pup sitter. I’m a crazy dog dad and Anna exceeded all expectations. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Anna more than accommodated his needs and made us feel very comfortable while we were gone for a couple days. She regularly provided updates which included pictures and videos. We will not hesitate to use Anna as our go-to dog sitter!

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.
