1. Allie K.
“Allie was amazing and sent us great updates of Maximilian while we were away. I am happy I found someone so trustworthy and great with animals. She even went out of her way to check on Maximilian when there was an issue with the gate code and she had to leave and come back. I highly recommend booking her for drop in visits.”
2. Carrie L.
“Carrie is great with our girl Zoe! She was prompt and spent extra time with Zoe as she gets very stressed with bad weather. We’re so glad we found her!”
3. Noel B.
“Noel was wonderful with our two senior pups who require a lot of attention and patience. Our oldest dog requires medication which is not always easy to administer, and Noel did great with her. At one point, our oldest dog wasn’t eating, and Noel made it a point to stop by and check in and spend time with her during the day to help with her anxiety. I would recommend Noel without hesitation.”

7. Raquel S.
“Raquel came to our house to take care of our cat while we were on vacation. She made sure Kurumi was fed and had clean litter, and also sent cute photos so we could see our baby too. She communicated well and left everything in good order. She even did little extras like taking in mail and even cleaning up a hairball our cat coughed up. I would recommend Raquel to come care for your cat or dog!”

“Very communicative & easy to work with! Will use Selen’s services again.”
9. Esmeralda R.
“Julissa was amazing with my little girl, Sophie. I was hesitant at first because my dog is super anxious with new people. Julissa assured me that I did not need to worry and that she has tons of experience with dogs. She exceeded my expectations!!! My dog fell in love with her. She took the time to be patient with her and gave updates regularly. Always on time and very informative. 100/10 would recommend you booking her. ❤️❤️”

13. Trinity R.
“Certainly! Here's a revised version of the statement: Trinity goes above and beyond when it comes to watching my dog. I recently had an issue with the concierge giving out the wrong key to my apartment, and Trinity bravely resolved the situation. Truly reliable and amazing!”
14. Jay K.
“I have struggled to find a cat sitter for my feisty little kitty, and I am so glad I found Jay! She has watched my cat twice now, and I will definitely continue to use her services. She is gentle and understanding with my cat, and sends regular pictures and updates for me which helps me feel secure while I'm away. I highly recommend Jay!”

16. Meghan R.
“Meghan was absolutely great helping watch our dog Witten while we were away. We had someone cancel last minute before leaving an Meghan helped us throughout the week with little notice. She kept us up to speed on everything and was very professional. I recommend her to anyone looking for help with their sitting in the future!”
17. Andrea R.
“Andrea is amazing! She took excellent care of my fur baby while I was away. She sent us pictures of Rosie daily which helped our anxiety of leaving her. Rosie was pampered beyond what we expected in a sitter and so well taken care of! We will not hesitate to call on Andrea’s services again when we are in need of a sitter for Rosie. We have definitely found the right person for our baby. 10⭐️”
18. Takina K.
“Takina has done in-home visits for my old little terrier a few times now. I trust her immensely and she has made traveling for work so much more stress free for me. I have another booking request in to her right now and will continue using her as long as she's available.”
19. Ashley A.
“I've had the pleasure of using Ashley as my pet sitter for years, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care she provides. Whether she's house sitting or boarding my pets, she always takes wonderful care of my Husky, Hagrid, and my cat, Fang. Recently, I came home to find both Hagrid and Fang freshly groomed, smelling nice and clean, which was such a delight after being away from my babies. Hagrid, my senior pup, is on medication, and thanks to Ashley's extensive experience, including her time working in animal hospitals, I was completely at ease knowing she could handle his medications with no issues. Ashley also kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which reassured me that my pets were happy and well-cared for. She is my go-to for my fur babies, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Ashley, for always going above and beyond! ---”
20. Rachel A.
“We have rebooked Rachel a few times and she has done an incredible job each time! She is extremely communicative and does a great job of giving us peace of mind when we're away from our fur babies. Highly recommend!”
