“Can’t say enough good things about Summar. I feel completely confident leaving town knowing that she’ll be taking great care of my dog and my home. Her communication and care are 5 stars.”
“Erica was on time, friendly, and bonded immediately with Koko. She took great care of our home and our dog. She’s dependable and we will use her again.”
“Kayly is AMAZING!!! She house sat for us and always communicated through texts and pics to let us know how our doggo was doing. She took Rizzo for walks around the neighborhood, played fetch with her, snuggled; all the things our dog loves :) She went above and beyond and we will absolutely be reaching out to Kayly again when we are away.”
“Sharon took amazing care of my home and dog. She made sure to keep me posted on how he was doing and sent photos. She really went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Our pup seems a little sad she is gone! Our family will definitely be using her again.”

“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”
“Danny did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs, three cats and one bird over the holidays while we dealt with unexpected must do travel. When we needed to extend a few days, he graciously accommodated that as well.”
“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”
“LOVE Tara. My good little boi could NOT be in better hands while I’m away. He even got a little crown, which he surely appreciated , as he knows he is Augie, Prince of the Earthly Chows and Radiant Golden Spacepuppy. Your home and furry family members will be in excellent hands with Tara!”
“Clare took such good care of Penny while we were on vacation. She kept us informed really well and sent lots of photos. She was easy to communicate with and we would trust her any time!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Nick quickly responded when I reached out. We met ahead of time and he was great with my dog. He sent me daily photos while taking care of my dog. My dog was happy and well cared for while I was away and my house was left in good shape. I will definitely use Nick again.”
“Christina was great with our extra-challenging dogs. She's clearly a dog lover (but also took great care of our cats). 100% reliable, great communication, and understanding when our plans changed a bit.”
“Kymberlee is very responsible and professional. She housesat for me and looked after my dog over the weekend, and I was very grateful for her capable demeanor and experience, especially because my dog had a recent injury and needed extra attention. She left my apartment in much better shape than she found it, and she dropped everything to help after I realized I’d left my ID at home while I was traveling. She is truly a class act, professional individual, and I highly recommend her.”
“We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡

Sharon did an amazing job with Wrigley! She sent updates with out an asking along with great photos. She left my mace cleaner than she found it. She also left a nice little package for Wrigley when she left including some great photos and a very sweet card! I highly recommend Sharon and will definitely use again.
We highly recommend Jessica, she is the best sitter we’ve ever had! She consistently went above and beyond during the week she stayed with our dog, Beckham. She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. We have a high energy dog who does best sticking to his routines and takes a little while to warm up to new sitters. She told us beforehand that she will always do what is best for the dog and they bonded instantly! We look forward to having Jessica back soon!
Isabela was terrific. She came on short notice and took great care of our 90lb Pitbull Koda.. She sent photos and communicated well with important questions and updates. Not too mention how flexible she was, a friend of mine asked me if Isabela could watch her dog while watching Koda. Isabela took on another dog the next day while watching Koda! She didn’t miss a beat!
Landry was nothing short of fantastic! Incredibly dependable and communicative and sent us pics of our pup throughout our trip. Our dog also takes a lot of medication, and she did a wonderful job keeping up with his med schedule. We came home to a happy pup and a clean home! Will definitely book with Landry again!
Amora is a godsend. She’s a dog lover through and through. I have one older dog and one special needs. She took great care of them and showed them a lot of love. She kept me informed frequently and my dogs were very happy and relaxed when I returned. She’s truly one of the best ever.
Here’s a polished five-star review you can use or tweak: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Faith was an amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared deeply about my dogs. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets was in such loving and responsible hands. I would absolutely recommend Faith to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Mary went above and beyond in taking care of our dog, Romeo, our 18 – year – Old Shih Tzu. Because of his aging issues, Romeo had a skin sore that began to bleed just as we left it was very concerning and became infected just after our departure Mary essentially saved Romeo‘s life, taking him to the vet administering medications over a week long period and nursing and back to health. When we got home, Romeo was in better condition than when we left, all thanks to Mary’s constant attention and care. She truly bonded with Romeo and demonstrated an affection that he needed during that hard time. She did this also while a construction crew was renovating the upstairs of our home, creating a ton of noise and a massive mess. She worked around these people, even helping keep a place tidy! Can’t say enough good things about Mary. We owe her big time!
We felt incredibly comfortable leaving Mazie with Marc and would recommend him to anyone! He took the time to meet us before hand and got to know Mazie so she was comfortable with him. Once he got to our place, he followed all the instructions, was quick to respond, and left our apartment in great shape.
