“Julie is truly the best. She stayed in our home with our dog for 4 weeks while we were abroad. She updated us and sent pictures of our dog all the time & let us know what they were up to!! Our pup can be stubborn and a bit reactive at times, but Julie was amazing with him. We were nervous to leave for so long, but we came home to a very happy dog and spotless home. Would definitely recommend Julie to a friend or family member and of course will be using her ourselves in the future!”
“Our pups love Lauren! She takes great care of them and our house while we are away. We get lots of great updates and Lauren is fantastic about proactive communication.”
“excellent gal and great pricing too! she really goes above and beyond her pay grade and puts in the extra mile to make my animals feel safe while i was away! will rebook when needed!!! Also the pictures she sent put me at ease 11/10”
“Lilah is my go to house/dog sitter when I’m out of town! My two dogs are so well cared for, she communicates frequently, and even sends little check in photos!! So happy with Lilah’s care!”
“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”
“Anna was a great sitter. She arrived on time and kept us informed of their behavior while she was sitting. She stayed until we got home and summarized her visit and our dog's behaviors. Our pets seemed to like her. We would definitely rebook with Anna.”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
“I cannot recommend Marykay enough as a pet sitter. From her initial lightning-fast response on Rover to the end of her stay with my dog, Scooch, she was simply amazing. Marykay is incredibly passionate about animals and possesses a calm and responsible demeanor that immediately put me at ease. She came over to meet Scooch a couple of weeks before her stay, and I knew immediately that I could trust her with my best buddy. Even when there was some miscommunication on my part, Marykay handled it with grace and flexibility. When I returned home, Scooch was happy to see me, but it was clear Marykay had taken care of him well. Knowing that Scooch was in such good hands made my time away stress-free.”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Kenna did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our senior beagle. She sent us nice photos throughout the trip and we knew he was comfortable and safe while we were away. She is very prompt in responding to messages and was always straightforward and clear with her communications. Our home was very well cared for, too, and it was a relief to come home to a clean and tidy house. We absolutely recommend her to others and will book with her again in the future!”
“Cristina is the absolute best sitter. She’s so calm and warm. She sends lots of photos and keeps me updated. I trust her completely and know she’s taking good care of my puppy.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“My partner and I would absolutely hire Emerson again. He was on time, professional, and Jelly took to him instantly. Throughout our trip, he communicated regularly and was incredibly patient with Jelly, especially when she was testing him in the beginning. He won her over quickly, and from that point on, the entire stay went smoothly. We never had to worry about Jelly—she was clearly in good hands. Emerson followed every instruction, so there were no accidents or issues. When our flight was delayed, he reassured us without hesitation that he could stay longer and continue caring for her, which was such a relief. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. What stood out most was how laser‑focused he was on Jelly’s needs and his demeanour was kind and compassionate. That’s exactly what we needed, and he delivered it with care and professionalism.”
“Lucy was fantastic for us. She communicated well with us before and during the stay. She seemed to follow the directions we gave her extremely well and asked questions about stuff and kept notes for herself too so she could make sure everything was followed. When we got home, the house was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. We were extremely happy with her and the booking.”
“Rachel is wonderful! She was attentive to our Labs’ needs and kept them happy and active. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog, who can be challenging, and even shoveled snow for us while we were away! Our house was pristine when we returned and she updated us every day. 5/5 stars!”
“Lily was great! She watched our dog and cat for almost a week, the house was in great shape when we came back and our animals were super happy! We got daily updates and pictures which made us feel super comfortable on our trip.”
“Robert was communicative, sent updates/photos throughout the day, and took great care of Pukka. Really appreciated his flexibility and attentiveness. Pukka seemed very happy and comfortable with him. Thank you again!”
“Absolutely wonderful to have Jessica watch our dog. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel safe leaving her with him. The house was cleaner than when we left! Could not recommend more!”
“We had Alex for a short overnight stay and she was great! She provided us with updates throughout the day… we had no worries while we were away, knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We would love to have Alex again sometime!”

Emily was wonderful! She made sure to keep us updated multiple times throughout each day of her stay and sent lots of photos. She was considerate, communicative, and we felt very confident our home and pets were in safe hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter and will gladly use her again when we need one!
Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!
Lillian was a great sitter for my senior dog and I would happily book her again! She was proactive, communicative, and professional. I appreciated her thorough updates on my dog and all the cute photos she sent. I could tell when I got home from my trip that my dog was well cared for and relaxed and that Lillian was attentive to him and respectful of my home. Highly recommend!
Savannah housesat for our senior kitty recently and was a real gem to work with! She was patient and kind and asked specific questions about care beforehand. When we had an unexpected house issue just before her stay, Savannah was understanding and flexible as we sorted it out. We received plenty of updates and photos while we were away, and felt assured that our kitty was in good hands. We would absolutely rebook with Savannah in the future!
Lucy was fantastic for us. She communicated well with us before and during the stay. She seemed to follow the directions we gave her extremely well and asked questions about stuff and kept notes for herself too so she could make sure everything was followed. When we got home, the house was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left it. We were extremely happy with her and the booking.
Launa is an incredible pet sitter. She was very communicative and noticed that one of our cats was not feeling well and acted quickly to make sure that he was alright, and filled us in on any important details. It was a stressful situation, but knowing that our pets were in good hands made a huge difference.
