“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”

“Kyrstin watched my 14 year old Chihuahua/Corgi mix over the Martin Luther King day weekend. Kyrstin did the best job with Nuni. She is very caring, patient and helpful. She followed all the instructions for Nuni's care to the letter. He went to the vet on the Thursday before I left and started a new medication. Kyrstin gave him his medication and didn't even hesitate at the challenge of caring for an elderly dog with health issues. Kyrstin was also very respectful of my home and left everything as it was when I left. I would definitely recommend Kyrstin the care for your pets and will most definitely ask her again should the need arise. Thank you so much Kyrstin for taking such good care of my buddy!!”

“Rachel was awesome! She communicated with us often, sometimes twice a day, and sent pictures as well. She offered to take on another household task that required attention while we were gone, which was very helpful and gave us extra peace of mind. We appreciated her positivity and her generous spirit. Our dog got regular daily walks, including long ones, which he loves! Rachel will be moving on from our local area, otherwise we would be definite repeat clients for sure!”

“Alyssa took great care of Leia and our home! She kept in touch regularly and sent photos of Leia throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”

“Susan did a great job on a long weekend stay with my 2 dogs. She was communicative, flexible thorough and sent regular updates. Most of all the pups were happy and calm when we arrived home. Will definitely hire again.”


“This was the second time Erika cared for my cat, Roxy, and she did a wonderful job. As always, she was attentive, reliable, and thoughtful in her care. She followed instructions to a tee and spent quality time playing with Roxy and working on her puzzles. I especially appreciated her detailed updates and the many fun photos she shared, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she truly understands Roxy’s personality and routines. I returned to a relaxed, happy cat and a home that was clean and well cared for. She also took extra steps preparing my home for my return, which was a thoughtful touch. I would happily trust her to care for Roxy again and confidently recommend her to others.”


“Heather was wonderful! Chet had such a good time with her. She did the best job of keeping us informed on how they were doing and the worry-meter went waaaaay down. The house was in excellent condition and the yard was completely clean. Great job, Heather! You made a stressful trip worry free, as far as our beloved pet was concerned. Thank you SO much!!!”

“This is the second time Tasha has stayed with our dog while we were away. She's very communicative, helpful, and so sweet to our pup. We definitely will book with her again.”

“Alex is incredible! My dog Bear is usually aggressive with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately, which speaks volumes about his calm and trustworthy energy. He followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. Coming home to a vacuumed house and fresh sheets on the bed was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch. We will 100% be booking Alex again and can’t recommend him enough!”

“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”
“Tanja took great care of our pets and house while we were away. All of my pets took to her right away and I could tell immediately it would be a good fit for them and it really put my mind at ease knowing they would be loved and cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Tanja and will keep her in mind next time we need a sitter. Thanks so much Tanja!”

“My cat always has a great time with Lucinda! I’ve used her several times now and know that he is always in good hands. Lucinda is a true cat lover and will take great care of your little nugget!”

“Gwyneth did a great job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. She sent pictures to let us know that they were all doing well. I would recommend her if you are needing a sitter for you cat.”


“Julianna took great care of our pets. We came home to happy and healthy animals and our home was just as we left it. I appreciated the photos she sent, it’s always nice to see your babies while you’re away.”

“Adam is an incredible sitter. He took fantastic care of our puppy, and we felt very confident that our boy was safe with him. He worked very hard to match our established routine, and we are so thankful to have met him. Thank you!”

“Shannon was very easy to work with and was definitely reliable in caring for my dogs and my household while I was away at the beach. One of my dogs is very elderly and had a seizure several weeks before the booking, and Shannon didn't blink an eye at giving the dog several daily meds and an unusual combination of foods for her meals. Shannon gave me regular updates and sent me many cute pics of the pups while I was away. She also accommodated my changing plans in my return date which changed frequently while I was figuring out how to get home before the big snow/ice storm. I will definitely book with Shannon again!”

An absolute gem! Hayley was not only here for our BIG baby, but spoiled her w/all the love, cuddles, lap time, treats & attention in our absence that we would have, if we were home. Our Murphy Quinn was right at home with her in our home. We couldn't be happier w/the constant communication & plethora of pictures Hayley sent of our girl having a good ol' time w/her new bestie! Our little family has grown by +1, thankfully to our newest (& hopefully continued) addition of Hayley. She is now our go-to gal for ALL of our, walking, drop-in & dog stay/sitter needs. Thank you, Miss Hayley!

Noah has been taking care of our three dogs, with varying unique personalities and needs. It gave us so much peace of mind when we are away from home knowing that they will be under great care. Noah is extremely attentive to their needs, taking them on walks, cuddling them while also keeping our home clean. I highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter!

Alyssa was the best! She is very detail oriented, communicative, and so kind! During our time away, she always sent lots of pictures and asked questions if needed. She is great at following instructions and my dogs loved here. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a good sitter!

Michelle was wonderful with our dog and cat while we were gone for 5 nights! It was so nice to get check-in messages and photos and know that our babies were getting great care while we weren’t able to be there. Our house was left spotless and we couldn’t be more appreciative!

Bridget is the absolute best! She was very communicative, ensuring we got updates and pictures of our pups and cat while we were away, and we could tell they all felt very loved. It was the first time our cat wasn’t mad at us when we returned home — a true sign he felt taken care of. Bridget also helped manage a few home needs while we were away, brought new toys and treats to our pups, and left the house clean and well taken care of when we got back home. We highly recommend Bridget!

Ian did an absolutely fantastic job watching our cat Stella while we were away. From start to finish, his communication was outstanding. He kept us updated regularly, sent plenty of pictures, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing Stella was in great hands. It was clear he genuinely cared about her and took the time to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. On top of that, we came home to a house that was in excellent condition and incredibly well cared for. We would absolutely book Ian again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful pet sitter.
