1. Sarah M.
“Sarah was an amazing sitter to our two dogs. She provided multiple pictures and updates through the day and we loved every single update. She was very comfortable with our dogs - both of whom can be leash reactive and slow to warm up to new people. Our dogs are larger dogs and have a ton of personality. Sarah got to know our dogs, and our dogs loved her and seemed very rested and cared for (when we got home). We were gone for 6 nights and did not have any concerns about our pets’ wellbeing due to her great care. We highly recommend Sarah to be your next dog sitter and we will be reaching out to her again as soon as we need a great sitter.”

“Rachelle did a great job watching my dog at my home for the weekend. She handled some walk difficulties my pup gave her very well, and I came home to a well cared for dog. Will use again.”

4. Christina S.
“Christina was great. Super communicative and cooperative. Took wonderful care of my pup and my house. Was very pleased with how both were when I arrived home. I will definitely see if she is available before I ask anyone else before I travel again. Can’t say enough good things.”
5. Tanay S.
“Tanay was great with our dog! Marshal warmed up to him really quickly and was even snuggling with him on the couch on day 2 and he’s not a super snuggly dog. Tanay’s easy going nature helped put me and my fiancé at ease with leaving him with someone other than family for the first time. He sent us pics and updates most days we were gone and made sure to text us with any questions he had. I would definitely recommend Tanay for house and pet sitting.”
6. Navya Michele C.
“Navya did a fantastic job watching our two fur babies! One of our dogs is older and paralyzed from the waist down. She was wonderful taking care of him and expressing his bladder. We came back to a clean home and two very well cared for dogs. We will definitely ask Navya to watch our dogs again.”

Thank you Olympia!”

It was clear that Abby was in great hands; Drew went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend Drew for anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Abby”

17. Patrick R.
“Patrick R is a loving, caring pet owner. In the years I've known him, he's cared for both dogs and cats. He is sensitive to animals' needs, and shows affection and concern, petting and brushing/stroking them. If you want him to care for your pets, he will do a great job and your pets will be happy and well-cared for while you are away or working.”
18. Korrey L.
“Korrey watched our animals for two whole weeks, so we could go on a much-needed long vacation. He did a great job of caring for the animals & even wrangled all 3 of them to the vet for a routine visit. He loved them like they were his own. It was a relief to know they were given such good care & love. He was conscientious, communicative, & kept us up-to-date. We were fortunate to have his big open-hearted help.”
19. Mikaela B.
“Mikaela is the BEST! This was our second time having Mikaela stay overnight with our high needs dog, Agnes. Mikaela is consistently communicative, patient and loving with our reactive dog and a genuine joy to be around. We never worry when Mikaela is dog sitting. We’re so grateful for her!”
20. Dehan G.
“Dehan cared for our elderly Frenchie for us while we were away on a long trip. He kept us updated daily on how she was doing, sent lots of cute photos, and gave her all the snuggles and short walks she needed. :) He is extremely kind and trustworthy and loves dogs. I’d entrust him with my dog always. He also left our house amazingly spotless, which was much appreciated especially after a long trip away!”
