“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Booking with Lily was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She is truly one of the most professional and communicative people I’ve ever worked with. She’s incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — not just with the dogs, but in every aspect of the house sit. Both of my dogs are on a special diet, and she handled their feeding instructions perfectly. That level of attention to detail is absolutely essential for us, and she delivered with total reliability and care. What truly surprised me, though, was how beautifully she took care of our home. In the past, I’ve often come back from trips feeling overwhelmed because the house needed cleaning after a sit — especially with dogs tracking in dirt. This time, I walked in and felt like the house had been professionally cleaned. It was such a gift to return to a calm, spotless space. I would highly recommend Lily without hesitation. If she’s available when we travel again, I will absolutely be booking her.”
“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Madilyn. Our plans changed multiple times and she was so understanding and easy to work with. We have 4 dogs, some needier than others and she did amazing with them all and was a great communicator. We will for sure use Madilyn again in the future.”
“Stacey took great care of our dog, Lexie. She sent a cute picture and updated us with messages. The house looked immaculate when we got home from vacation. We will definitely ask her to come another time.”
“Nate did an excellent job sitting for us for the weekend. He sent frequent updates and kept our place very clean. Will absolutely use him again for any future needs!”
“Courtney was fantastic with my GSD-mix, Raina! She was great at following my instructions to the letter while going above and beyond with providing updates and doing the little things for her. On top of that, Courtney is extremely respectful and well-mannered - she left my apartment looking spot less, and left the kindest note complimenting my pup (which means more than any compliment someone could give me). Thank you Courtney!”
“Jylesha was a solid puppy and house sitter! We hired Jylesha in a a time crunch and she was very accommodating with our last-minute booking. She communicated quickly and well, and she did exactly as we asked with the dogs. She was a great house guest and we would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Dawn did a fantastic job. Dogs were very happy and she communicated very well (photos and videos) even though I was without access to check. Will DEFINITELY use her again.”
“Britney was outstanding!! She was extremely communicative sent tons of pictures to us every day. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She also left our home very clean which was extremely appreciated too. Our home and furr babies were clearly well taken care of!”
“Comfort was a great babysitter. She made sure to always check in when she was taking my dog on walk and how he was doing. Absolutely would book her again to take care of my dog while I’m away!”
“Beverly was incredible! She showed up promptly and started caring for and playing with our 2 dogs and 3 cats immediately. She sent lots of updates and pictures the entire time and left our home cleaner than she found it! 10/10 recommend.”
“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”
“We had a great experience with Emma, and will definitely book her again. She spent a lot of time with our dogs, and we appreciated her updates and pictures. The pups definitely did not miss us one bit, and enjoyed long walks with Emma and lots of attention!”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats! I am super flexible this summer! I am looking forward to meeting some new fur-friends! Please book me at least 2 days in advance! I am very flexible this summer besides a two week trip at the beginning of July! I am not working since I’m attending graduate school in the fall so I’ll be super available to hang out with your fur babies! I don’t offer house sitting at my house but I can stay over at yours! I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions you have left to ensure the upkeep and cleanliness of your space!
“Jordan was great and came to the rescue last minute to care for the feral cat and kittens we rescued. He was super thorough and followed through on all of the care requirements. We will definitely reach out to him again! Thanks Jordan!”

Franklin was amazing, my older dog is a "little" shy to say the least and Mr. Franklin was absolutely positively wonderful with him, got him to come out to play, to eat as well as just getting him out of his kennel. As normally he would just be sad and hide the entire time we are gone. Definitely will hope he is available for the next sitting position. Thank you Franklin!! 😇💙🙏🐶🎉🤝
Olivia took amazing care of my two cats. I booked with her twice and she was extremely flexible and saved me in watching my cats last minute. My cats absolutely love her. Both of my cats need medicine and she did a great job giving Mr. White his inhaler and Romeo his pill each day. Highly recommend Olivia and will be using her in the future.
Hannah did an amazing job pet sitting our 14-week-old Whippet! From the moment she walked through the door, it was obvious he was going to have fun with her, he liked her right away. Even with all the energy, puppy antics, and biting that come with a young Whippet, she jumped right in and quickly adapted to his needs. We felt completely confident that he was well cared for, exercised, and given lots of attention. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with dogs, and our puppy had a great time with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and would not hesitate to book Hannah again!
First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.
Jordan was more than outstanding. It was the first time in a long time I was able to go on vacation without worrying. Complete transparency on a couple days he knew he’d be out for more than 4 hours, worked with me on a complicated schedule and most of all - PROMPT communication and tons of pics & videos. He went above and BEYOND for my puppy and I was really thankful and impressed by that alone. I would recommend him to anyone and I’m so so grateful I met and was able to trust someone to stay in my home while I was in another country. Thank you Jordan! The animals were clearly so well taken care of and more.
Highly recommend Helena! We have three cats, two of whom require medication for chronic illnesses, and Helena knows exactly how to get them to take their meds. She also gets my female cat to eat all her food, despite the fact that her appetite is waning due to kidney disease. We never worry about leaving our babies in Helena’s care — she’s a pro!
Kira is fantastic. She is super responsive & I trust her with my two big doodles! Kira watched my dogs for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at my house. She is responsible and trustworthy! Kira communicated her schedule for the weekend ahead of time and gave me a heads up so I’m aware of when she is at the house / needs to step out for other drop ins, which is so appreciated! She checked in everyday and gave me a summary of their day & provided photos. I didn’t think twice about the boys while on vacation, because I knew they were in good hands! Thank you so much!
Caroline took excellent care of our dogs and our home. At our meet and greet she was attentive and detailed. During the sit she communicated daily, followed care instructions, and treated our pups like her own. Home was left tidy and doggos very happy. We happily recommend Caroline and would book with her again.
