1. Loyd V.

“Loyd took wonderful care of our fur baby while we were away. He was very consistent with all directions and kept us updated on any ongoing at the house. Would highly recommend and would book again!”


2. Sarah H.

“Did an excellent job of looking after our dog Romeo while we were on vacation. Sarah loves dogs and you can see that by the way she interacts with them. We received lots of photos and could see Romeo was happy and being well looked after. We will definitely be using Sarah's services again”


3. Sorona B.

“So Rona took amazing care of our pup and house while we were gone. She was very communicative and always sent good pics and videos at least once a day (as requested!). She took extremely good care of our house and it was really nice coming home to a clean space ❤️”




4. Erica & Christopher K.


“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”


5. IceLyn E.
“I trust IceLyn with all my pets. She is gentle, loving, detailed oriented and even the most shy animals warm up to her quickly. Icelyn is careful to follow all caretaking instructions and is loves to cuddle and give scratches and rubs. She is a trusted pet sitter with lots of expertise, love, and consideration.”


6. Izabelle K.

“Izabelle was so great with my dog and understanding of his specific needs. I even came home to fresh baked cookies! Such a nice touch! 10 out of 10!”


7. John S.

“John is excellent with communications and very reliable! Exactly what we need for our guys when we are travel without them.”


8. Asa S.
“Ace is friendly, responsible, and great with taking care of my dog. He has shown awesome communication and a wonderful attitude, which has left zero doubt in my mind for the care of my pet while I am away. I would highly recommend him to care for any pets and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”


9. Miranda M.
“My dog is quite picky about people - she doesn't usually more than tolerate anyone outside of family. Mandee is one of the few exceptions - Meeko knows her name and jumps up and down when she comes over. Mandee takes her running for miles and miles and always leaves her happier than when she arrived. I highly reccomend working with her - especially for high energy dogs!”


10. Nancy A.

“Nancy was super reliable, communicated well, & is a very nice person. My home was in great condition. I’ve had a number of rough experiences with prior sitters, so it meant a lot to not have to worry about my dog at all while on a work trip. I highly recommend Nancy!”


11. Desislava G.

“Desi is fantastic! She is a great communicator, sent pics and updates everyday, set up a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure her and the dogs had a good vibe and was punctual. She left the house very clean and the dogs happy. I was very happy to have her sit my old and quirky but active pups. I would highly recommend Desi as a dog and housesitter and will book her again.”


12. Eric A.
“We’ve had the good fortune to have Eric watch our dog while we go on vacation for the past few years, first year with Rover. He is far and above our first choice in dog care, and is worth every penny. Eric is fantastic and goes above and beyond to make sure our Jack is calm and happy while we are away. We always come home to a happy content pet and a super clean home. He has great communication and lets us know how Jack is doing. And, he’s just a really nice person who cares. Thanks again, Eric, for letting us all have a great vacation!”


13. Sarah R.

“Sarah did an amazing job with our dog! This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family or a friend and our first time having someone stay in our house. I was not nervous after meeting Sarah beforehand and hearing about her previous experience. She sent photos of our pup daily and he seemed to warm up to her (he is really timid, especially with new people). She left the house clean and kept us updated throughout our trip! Would definitely recommend her 😊”


14. Scott B.

“Scott did a great job of keeping us informed about our dog while we were away. He played with her, spent a good amount of time with her, and sent videos of how she was doing. Thank you!”


15. Maria C.

“We LOVE Maria ❤️. Sadie and Griswold are very well taken care of when Maria is with them. She is attentive to their needs and provides extra love and cuddles when Im working long hours at the hospital. I absolutely appreciate all that Maria does for me and my pups. It's the best feeling to come home after a 12.5 hr work day to not only happy puppies, but also a clean home.”


16. Kate E.

“Kate was incredible with our 3 dogs! Not only did she give a quick yes to a short notice request, she provided excellent care to our dogs and an our home! Thanks Kate!”


17. Ellen E.


“Ellen was so easy to communicate and coordinate with. She handled our last minute booking with ease and came to our vacation rental to watch our dog while we had a date night. Our dog was so relaxed and happy in Ellen’s care.”


18. Michael F.
“Michael has cared for my dogs and watched over my house on several occasions. The dogs love him and are always well cared for and the house is also in great condition upon my return. I would highly recommend his service at any time”


19. Erica B.
About: I've always been surrounded with animals. Strays seem to gravitate towards me. I'd love to work professionally with dogs some day, for now I'm certified through YouTube University. I am medically trained with crossover training for dogs&cats. I work a few hours, some mornings, otherwise I'm free to wonder around with the dogs My work schedule varies week to week but on average I work 4 hour shifts 2 - 7 days a week. Plenty of extra time. I have one dog that lives in my home, all dogs can remain separated if needed. My work allows for a flexible schedule so I can go on multiple dog walks a day usually.


20. Anni E.

“Anni was a great dog/house sitter. She communicated with me regularly about the dogs, sent photo updates and made sure our place was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Anni & hope to use her again on our next trip.”
