1. Han T.


“My pets absolutely adore her and her actions also show how much she loves being a caregiver in my absence. Thank you Han! I can come home knowing Max was loved. Thats’s priceless.”


2. Sammi M.

“Sammi was wonderful. She agreed to sit for us at last minute over Christmas after a sitter on another site let us down. She was truly a lifesaver as I was panicking that I wouldn't have anyone to look after our cats while we were overseas for almost two weeks. She was wonderful with our three cats, one of which has a bit of a disability. She took it all in stride and followed instructions for food and meds to a tee. She stayed over most nights and left our house clean and tidy. We returned home to very happy cats. Sammi is trustworthy, reliable and a great communicator. She sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thanks Sammi!”


3. suzy n.

“Suzy has been great house sitting for our 2 dogs and cat. She communicates frequently, and she is very attentive to our animals. I highly recommend her.”


4. Kelly M.

“Kelly did an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of our Golden while we were away for an extended weekend. She was responsible, communicative, and great about sending us pictures - giving us peace of mind while we were away. The house was spotless and exactly as we left it, and it was clear that Huckleberry was well cared for and happy. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


5. Vanessa K.

“We love Vanessa! She’s so great when she’s with our three pups and makes them feel so loved. It’s clear she loves dogs and knows how to take good care of them. Plus her communication and pictures/video updates are the best!!”


6. Sarah M.
“Sarah was an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs! She was attentive to both of their individual needs (1 is a senior dog, the other is a very playful puppy) and we were thrilled to get updates from her while we were away. She was proactively communicative, which was very pleasant to get updates and photos of how our 2 boys were doing! We came home to happy pups and home, which is awesome to come home to after travel. We will definitely be having Sarah continue caring for our dogs and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”




7. Louise W.

“Louise was great! I came home and my babes and house were as I left it, which is all I could ever want. I will DEFINITELY be using her again.”


8. Liliana A.

“Lili was a great companion to our pup Charlie and our spazzy cat Beanie while we were out of town for the weekend. We really appreciated her daily check-ins and photo updates, and both our boys instantly got along with her (which is kinda rare for our cat!). We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we have to travel!”


9. Kylee P.

“Kylee was fantastic. My two dogs liked her right away. She sent pics to us each day and took great care of our dogs and our home. She is pleasant and very focused on the well being of our dogs. I will ask her to sit again and already recommended her to one of my neighbors in my town. A plus for Kylee! Katrin and Sam Peck”


10. Daniel N.

“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


11. Aly S.

“Aly is great with Sadie! Aly has taken care of Sadie for me on multiple occasions, and I always know that Sadie is in great hands. Aly is very responsive, and keeps me up to date with how Sadie is doing. If you’re looking for somebody who is reliable and great with dogs, book Aly!”


12. Alisha T.

“10/10 would use again and would recommend. I initially reached out to Alisha to care for my pup, Hampton, and could tell during our meet-and-greet that she was a perfect fit. Hampton immediately gravitated toward her, and I felt confident leaving him in her care. Right before her stay, I had a couple of regular clients who also needed pet sitting. Without hesitation, Alisha stepped up to care for all three dogs, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was prompt, kept me updated with pictures and videos of her actively interacting with the pups, and maintained the house in excellent order—no small feat with three dogs! Thank you for everything. Hampton looks forward to seeing you again next weekend.”


13. Zoe F.


“Zoe was amazing with my dog, Sadie! She kept me updated throughout the day, and sent me pictures of Sadie and her having a great time together. It’s always difficult leaving your pet, but I was happy to know that she was in great hands. I will definitely be using Zoe’s services again in the future!”


14. Whitney H.

“This was our first time leaving our 2 rescue pups overnight and Whitney went above and beyond to make sure both they and we were comfortable! Her pictures and updates immediately put us at ease and we knew they were in good hands. We could tell from the moment we met Whitney that she's a bit of a "dog whisperer" - our pups are quite high maintenance and she was truly fantastic with them. Thank you Whitney!”


15. Drew R.

“Drew was great! He was professional, on time, and very communicative. He was patient with my shy and stubborn husky mix and was able to win her over during his stay with her. So grateful knowing she was in capable hands while we were away!”


16. Mya G.

“Mya house sat for us over the holidays and was the perfect caretaker of the house and the 2 dogs. She sent lots of photos, communicated promptly and left the house in great condition. Our mini-Dachshund is a bit of a handful, but she did great with her. And, our suspicious older Corgi even warmed up to her. Thank you, Mya!”


17. Christina S.


“Christina was a wonderful sitter for Winnie. She kept me updated and did such a great job taking care of Winnie for an extended period. I would happily use her again.”


18. Sjoribel T.

“Sjoribel was a great sitter for Yoshi! She was super communicative, sent a bunch of pictures, and the house looked great when I got home. 10/10 would recommend for dogsitting!”


19. Sjocelin C.

“Sjocelin did a great job with our dogs!”


20. Sai A.

“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
