Top rated Hartranft house sitters

“Lauren was a lifesaver! My wife went into labor early and all of our plans with the previous sitter fell apart. Luckily Lauren was available to watch our two dogs. She was reliable and responsive and was able to adjust to the situation and all of my random disjointed messages I sent as we made our way to the hospital. Definitely would book her again and cannot recommend her enough!”


“Noa was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She made sure to text us updates with pics showing our pup having as much of a good time as we were on vacation. She barely smiles in pics we try to take of her but her smile was beaming in the pics Noa sent 😁. And she was a terrific house sitter as well. We’ve already booked her again for a couple of weeks from now. We highly recommend Noa”


“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”


“Stefan was a consummate professional. He arrived on time, communicated clearly with us for the duration of the stay, and sent quality photos regularly. Would recommend for dog sitting!”


“Quanece & Malik are awesome! They are so helpful, go above and beyond and most importantly super loving and patient with my anxious pup. I am so grateful for their love and care that I know I can rely on when I’m not there. They are very easy to work with, flexible and communicative. Cannot recommend their services enough! Thank you!”


“Areana took wonderful care of my senior dog amd cat. She was very communicative and kept me up to date when my dog got sick while I was out of town. I highly recommend Areana!”


“Abby is the perfect house-sitter! I cannot say enough good things about her. She took the time to come over and meet Saska before the stay, which made Saska much more comfortable as well as us! She listened carefully to her routines and habits, and stuck to a routine so faithfully that Saska was comfortable, happy, and healthy the entire time we were away (about four days). Abby sent regular photos and newsy updates that made us rest assured that Saska was having the time of her life making a new life-long friend. Abby was so thoughtful, not just in taking care of Saska as if she were her own dog, but also leaving our house a lot cleaner than she found it. If I could give her six stars I would!! A gem!!”


“Danielle was amazing, Bandit and Fin loved her!! She sent photos daily without us asking and she left the house absolutely spotless after staying here for a few nights. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“A huge thank you to Christina for once again taking care of our babies and our home over the holidays! Working with Christina is a dream - she is professional, responsive, and our pets just love her. We do too! Thank you Christina!!”


“Ari was super polite and communicative! She sent me pictures of my cat everyday and went above and beyond for him. She also helped make sure everything was tidy which I really appreciated! I will definitely come back to her in the future if I need a cat sitter.”



“Brenda watched our 3 pups while we went on our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such good care of our pups and sent the most adorable pictures and updates. One of our pups was sick before we left, and Brenda made sure she got her meds and even took her to the vet for a follow up visit for us. We came home to happy and healthy pups! I’m sure our dogs want us to go on another vacation soon so they can hang out with Miss Brenda again.”


“Leah was great with Coco during house sitting. She sent regular updates, made sure that Coco has his usual sleep- wake and eating schedule. I would definitely recommend using her services for your pet. Thanks Leah!!”


“This is our second time with Carly and she was great. She’s super communicative and takes great care of our special needs dog. We will definitely work with her again!”


“Molly is awesome. This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone watch my dog overnight, and I couldn’t be happier. My dog recently had surgery and they were experienced and compassionate with taking care of my Ziggy. Highly recommend!”


“Princess is fantastic! She took such great care of both Blu and Leo, even with some changes to their routine. She’s always flexible, super attentive, and makes sure they’re both happy and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”


“Tasha was a great communicator and took amazing care of Penny! She was incredibly responsive to messages and kept me updated while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
