1. Emanuela S.


“My thanks to Emanuala for helping me out last minute so that I can go to work and not worry about my dog being home alone for too long! Lily is slow to warm up to new people and Emanuela does very well with listening to her cues and her needs. She was well taken care of and was kept busy playing ball.”




2. James P.

“James watched our dog Duke for a weekend and he was fantastic- Duke loved him and you can tell James is very knowledgeable on dog behaviors and how to interact with them. I would highly recommend James and we look forward to booking him again in the future!”


3. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie took care of my cat for a week, and I couldn't be happier with her help. From the first day, she made sure my kitty felt comfortable and safe. Every day, she sent me updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Additionally, her affection and enjoyment to play with her. My cat was happy and well cared for. I would definitely trust Stephanie to take care of my cat again!”


4. Jessica F.

“Jessica and Gill were a dream come true for my geriatric, and quirky dogs. Every good thing that people say about them in these reviews was true--lots of amazing photos, very active with the dogs, communicative, responsible, great attitude, left the house in immaculate condition. We would definitely love to have them come again and stay with our dogs and house, it felt that they treated Ruby and Harry how we treat them, as beloved family members. We really couldn't give them a higher praise.”


5. Brian C.

“Thank you so much Brian for taking care of Archie. Really appreciate you following instructions and looking after him.”


6. Ashley D.

“Ashley was fantastic. She was very attentive and kept us in the loop the entire time we were gone. We felt at ease having her stay in our house with our babies. She even was flexible enough to stay an extra night when our plans changed due to a family emergency. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.”


7. Jesse L.
“I have known Jesse for 8 years at this point. When we met, the first thing I learned about her was her incomparable love for pets, especially her dog Tucker. Shortly after meeting Jesse, I rescued a dog with severe separation anxiety and was extremely uneasy around others. Jesse was an exception to that. He could sense her loving personality and was one of the few people who he felt comfortable with. As a dog parent, that made me extremely happy. She has an amazing spirit that animals can sense and is extremely dependable. Your pets will be so happy you chose her!”


8. Sharon D.

“Sharon was nothing short of excellent in taking care of our loving companions, our dog Celtie, our three parrots as well as our home. We cannot say enough about how well Sharon cared for all of them. It seemed as though Celtie's routine, and the parrots routine had not missed a beat with us away. Pet owners know that animals have a good sense of character, our companions were not wrong about Sharon because during our meet and greet they took to Sharon quickly and she was comfortable with them. Sharon has and gently voice and calm demeanor and was sensitive to the needs of our senior dog. Sharon administered Celtie's meds on time and helped her down our deck stairs, when needed staying in the yard with her. This is our routine with Celtie and Sharon did it without us asking her to. I believe that it says a lot about Sharon's character as a person as a pet sitter. T To go further, we have to add that we cleaned our home before we left. Sharon cleaned, vacuumed, dusted washed and changed her sheets and remade the bed. The kitchen and stove were as clean as we left it. SO NICE. Sharon took care of our home as if it was her own, clearing 8" of snow outside as well. We could not have asked for more. It's comforting to know that our companions were, and will be, in loving care when we go away again. Sharon is the best and we will hope for her sitting again. Tim & Ed”


9. Ava B.

“Ava took wonderful care our very large visually impaired dog who required medication on a very specific schedule. She was in communication with us, sent pictures and was great with him. We will definitely have her back!”


10. Arianna P.
“Ari has cared for my two cats multiple times. While my partner and I go away for weekend, or sometimes week long, vacations, Ari has properly managed feeding, playing, and cleaning up after our cats perfectly while maintaining cleanliness in the home (ex. cleaning up litter or hairballs.) multiple times. In times of emergency, Ari has been perfectly capable of taking our cats to the vet, and I would entrust her to do so. There was one instance where one of our cats got sick (vomiting) but luckily it wasn't a situation where she had to take her over. Still, Ari handled the situation very well. Knowing Ari for about 12 years now, I know she LOVES animals. She was always talking about the dogs, chickens, peacocks, and rabbits on her family's farm. She also used to take care of my late bunny for me on occasion. She's very gentle and empathetic. You absolutely will not be disappointed choosing Ari, especially if you have communicated special requests clearly.”


11. Nicolle B.
“Nicolle is an extremely reliant, loving, and sweet person. She has always been an animal lover, and I have hired her to take care of my dogs many times. She goes above and beyond of what’s needed, and my dogs adore her. Nicolle is responsible, she is attentive, and she is without a doubt the best person to count on.”


12. Svetlana G.
“Svetlana has provided outstanding care for my dog over the past five months. One of the most impressive aspects of Svetlana's service is her ability to form strong bonds with animals. My Coco is typically shy around new people, but he quickly warmed up to Svetlana which speaks volumes about their gentle and patient demeanor. I definitely recommend Svetlana to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and capable pet caregiver.”


13. Leann W.

“Leann has the experience to manage multiple dogs and with a pack (3) it's important. The girls are happy, we are too!”


14. Summer V.
“Summer Van Nest is the most kind, loving and warm-hearted person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her ability to radiate kindness and compassion is unmatched when I think of all the people that I know. Having known her for many years, I am sure that she is the perfect fit for any pet sitting job that is available. Her love for all animals, including others and her own, is stronger than anyone. She has taken care of many pets over the years, ranging from dogs to horses, allowing her to be extremely flexible when being considered for a job. She is extremely dedicated to her full time profession as a 6th grade English teacher and takes great pride in educating her students. I am confident that Summer will not only meet, but exceed all expectations of any pet-sitting job!”


15. Brianna C.

“Bri was so great with our dog, Winnie! Sending me updates and photos the whole time we were away and she made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pup with her. Would definitely recommend her to others!”


16. Jacklyn R.
“Jacklyn watched my two kittens while I was away for a weekend trip. She was so great with them, knowledgeable about cats, and so trustworthy. She’ll treat your fur babies like her own. Hiring her again for an upcoming trip!”


17. Arisleydys T.
“Excellent personality. I have personally experienced the way Arisleydis is as a dog sitter, patients and love all around for our fury babies. I would highly recommend her for this position. Very attentive and friendly towards my Yorkshire Terrier. I love my baby, and would love people to treat her the same way. This is the service you will be receiving from Arisleydis.”


18. Janny P.

“Janny is awesome! My husband and I had her watch our dog for a week long cruise. She provided daily pictures and updates which we loved. We highly recommend Janny and have found a pet sitter for all our future travels ?”


19. Yancarlo R.
“I loved having Yancarlo as a sitter! I'm a nervous pet parent and he was very respectful of my nervousness, shared pics of my cat with me, and was so interactive with her! ☺️”


20. Braden O.
“Caring, dependable, playful and attentive. Braden is everything we could hope for in a caregiver/walker of our precious pup. He is so sweet and gives extra attention and belly rubs whenever he is around and our puppy loves him for it. He also alerts me if he ever feels our pet is “off” or doesn’t perform his usual activities and that is so important to us. If you want someone to truly care for your pet as if it was his own- you want Braden!”
