1. Carolina R.

“Carolina was great. She sent me pictures of my dog several times a day and let us know that everything was ok. It made the trip that much more enjoyable to not have to worry about our baby back at home.”


2. Dylan B.

“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Dylan to take care of our beloved cats, Luna and Tiger, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first meeting, Dylan displayed a genuine love for animals and a professional attitude that put us at ease. Throughout the entire duration of our two weeks away, Dylan provided regular updates, including photos and detailed messages about Luna and Tiger's activities and well-being. It was clear that she took the time to get to know their individual personalities and needs. Luna, who is our resident diva, quickly warmed up to Dylan, and Tiger, the shy fraidy cat, came out of his shell for scratches and study sessions across from her. We came home to two very happy and well-cared-for cats. The litter box was clean, their food and water bowls were full, and the house was exactly as we left it. Dylan even went above and beyond by watering our plants and bringing in the mail. Many days Dylan hung out for quite a while with the cats, and they got to help her study and maybe provide some distraction as well! She also texted about miscellaneous household issues, checking in and letting us know key info at critical times… She was truly fantastic. We highly recommend Dylan to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate cat and house sitter. She made our time away stress-free, knowing Luna and Tiger were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Dylan again for our future trips!”


3. Mark N.

“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”


4. Sarah K.

“Sarah is a wonderful housesitter. Takes great care of my Aussie and home. Excellent communications, great attitude and punctual. Highly recommend!!”


5. Carol F.

“Carol was a brilliant sitter - great communication and was fab looking after my two cats. Highly recommend and would absolute seek to book Carol again.”


6. Jenna & Matthew H.

“Jenna and Matthew took great care of my dog Vlad! They sent lots of pictures, and knowing that Vlad was happy, healthy, and well cared for while I was gone gave me great peace of mind. I would happily recommend Jenna and Matthew”


7. Katelyn C.

“Katelyn did an amazing job watching our two dogs at our house while we were out of town! She sent a ton of photos and updates and she left our house in perfect condition. We felt great leaving the pups in her care.”


8. Gabi B.

“Gabi did a fantastic job taking care of of my dog! My dog is reactive and doesn’t do well with strangers, but she loved Gabi! Gabi was very gentle and patient with her and made sure to communicate with me about how my dog was doing, which gave me peace of mind. She was a respectful house guest and an excellent pet sitter, I will definitely be booking with her again and can’t recommend her enough!”


9. Elizabeth L.

“Elizabeth was so great & easy to work with when we booked her a little last minute to watch our dog. She was super responsive, flexible, and took great care of our Winnie!”


10. Nicholas & Larissa A.

“We can not recommend Nicholas and Larissa enough! They took care of our Sadie while we went away to see family. We just moved to D.C. and have an anxious pup especially on walks. However, when Sadie met Nicholas and Larissa for the first time, she immediately took to them because of their nurturing demeanor and positive energy which eased all of our concerns regarding leaving Sadie. They not only kept constant communication and sent pictures, they showed up on time at the time of the visit, and were willing to meet with us prior to our reservation to help Sadie with her anxiety (which they both showed up at the time they said they would). They left our place in perfect condition and our pup was at ease when we came home! We will 100% be booking them again!”


11. Julia N.

“Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and two cats for a week - no small feat considering our beagles have separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Julia has a warm, calm energy and the dogs took to her right away. She’s a great communicator and sent text updates and pics every day. We had complete peace of mind for the entire week.”


12. Brooke R.

“Brooke was a wonderful sitter for Poppy. She sent great updates and left my apartment squeaky clean after house sitting. Definitely recommend her!”


13. Kayleigh C.

“Kayleigh was amazing. She was so communicative and sent pictures of all of our pets each day. I could see how comfortable they were. She was on the ball with everything and we feel so fortunate to have found Kayleigh to take care of our pets.”


14. adrian d.

“Adrian was a great house sitter for my dog Arya. I was away for 1 week on a work trip and he did a phenomenal job taking care of her at my house while I was away. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog! 10/10 would recommend”


15. Sarah V.


“Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!”


16. Carly M.

“Carly was amazing taking care of our pets while we were traveling. She was extremely communicative about how they were doing and anything they needed while we were away.”


17. Chenoah S.

“Chenoah took exceptional care of Ella. She arrived on time and checked in, kept the place super clean and even stayed extra time before checking out. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Ella so I knew that my baby was being well cared for during my trip. I recommend her enthusiastically and plan to use her again. Chenoah, Thank you from Ella and I.”


18. Trisha D.

“Trisha watched my dog Ozzy over a weekend and made my first time using Rover a breeze! I knew he was in good hands after meeting Trisha and seeing how happy he was in the pictures and videos she sent. He seemed so well taken care of and exercised when I came back. I will definitely book Trisha to hang out with Ozzy again :)”


19. Marko D.

“Marko adhered to Rocky’s and Boo-boo’s schedule, allowing them to have some familiarity while we were away. He sent lots of pictures to keep us informed and included in their daily activities. He also cared for our house making our return that much easier. We’re booking with him again for our next trip.”


20. Diego G.

“Diego is communicative, reliable, and flexible in a pinch! He’s always the first sitter I reach out to–my dog adores him and he sends the best updates :) highly recommend.”
