“Marion was absolutely incredible—truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. She stepped in on very short notice to care for my cat Betty and a newly found cat, Ginger, and handled everything with such professionalism and kindness. She made sure all medications were given properly, kept up with their daily routines, and spent quality time playing with them so they felt comfortable and cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I especially appreciated the regular photo updates and her clear, consistent communication—it made being away so much easier. Marion went above and beyond in every way, and I can confidently say she’s the best sitter I’ve ever had. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Dionie always takes great care of both of our animals and you can tell they have fun with him. Dionie is very communicative and sends great photos and updates!”

“Shihua was easy going, showed up on time, and asked all the right questions I'd expect from someone who cares about the well being of my cat. She provided daily updates and left our house clean. Our cat was well taken care of, we will definitely use her again!”

“This was the first time Kristin sat with my dog Lucy, who is a rescue initially mistrusting of "new people." To my relief, after the initial encounter, Lucy was OK with Kristin and I felt good about leaving them together for a short weekend. Kristin has a sweet, easy-going temperament that would help any pet get comfortable. She took good care of Lucy as well as my home and sent me pictures and reports about their walks. I definitely recommend Kristin.”

“Satine was great. She was highly communicative, responsive and took the dog all over town! I have rarely seen Zorro happier in his photos. Satine left my home sparkling clean and Zorro was relaxed when I found him. I look forward to working with her again”

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

“Andrea was so kind and sweet, I was very lucky she was available on such short notice and will definitely be calling her again! My sweet Charlie dog is a quite lazy but loving husky, she needs pretty constant companionship and just loves having another human around to hang out with. So happy we and Charlie have a new friend!”

“Tobin did an in house stay for 5 days. He was terrific and left my house in better shape then when I left. I have 2 active springer spaniels and 3 cats. This groups is a handful. Tobin is a conscientious and organize pet sitter. My neighbors reported that he was diligent in the dogs 4 to 5 mile daily exercise. Next time I have Tobin visit I will leave my animals with much peace of mind.”

“Nelson seemed to have a great time with Nicole! She was prompt, responsive, and left the house in great shape. So happy to have connected with her and looking forward to booking her in the future!”

“Kimberly is awesome! She’s friendly and outgoing yet professional. We felt comfortable with her from the moment we met her and confident that she would take care of our puppy in the manner of which we were accustomed. Don’t hesitate to give her a call. We will be doing so whenever we’re in town. :)”

“Celine is fantastic! Super responsive, takes great care of my cat, and leaves detailed updates and pictures. I know my kitty is in good hands and my apartment is in great hands too. She always leaves it in great shape and I’ve rebooked her after my initial stay. I have had Celine stay for a week plus and never had any concerns about the cat’s well being. Thank you!”

“Joe dog sat with us for 4 days at our home. We met him up earlier to make sure he and Nala were a good fit. Throughout our trip, he was kind, reliable, and responsive. We are so happy to have had him. Nala did great with him!”

“Joslyn was absolutely wonderful! She house sat for us and took exceptional care of our dog and cat while we were away for 6 days. Our dog has severe allergies and even had a skin flare-up in the middle of the night, and Joslyn handled it so calmly and responsibly, communicating with us the entire time and making sure she was comfortable and cared for. She was very communicative throughout our trip, sent regular updates and videos, and kept the house tidy and well cared for. Both our dog and cat were clearly happy and comfortable with her; one of the videos she sent as she was leaving even showed them looking sad to see her go, which says everything. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets and home were in such good hands and would absolutely book her again.”

“Jessica did a great job! She housesat for me and took great care of my dog and two cats. She was so professional and communicative and left my space so clean! Will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Sarah was a great sitter and I would definitely book with her again. I booked on short notice and she was very accommodating of my arrival and departure times which were a bit in flux. I came back to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Sarah!”

“Jeremy was amazing! Titan was feeling extremely shy and anxious and Jeremy was able to get Titan into such a relaxed state for the week we were gone. Titan had a great time and we can't wait to book again in the future”

“Justin was great with Bear and Meeko. Bear is a senior dog and needs medication administered several times a day. Justin updated us regularly on both Bear and Meeko, included photos, and overall was just a great person to be watching these two. We've already re-booked Justin to watch the boys for later this month!”

“Lauren did a fantastic job watching my high energy English shepherd. She’s thorough and sends detailed updates that are appreciated! I’ll definitely look to book her again”

“Alex was awesome! Great communication throughout my trip, followed instructions super well, handled my very picky eater Mixie with lots of patience and care, and left my apartment in a great state for when I returned. Would definitively recommend!”

Laxmi was so wonderful and sweet with my dogs. I really appreciate her patience with my dog being anxious when I leave. She figured out what worked best to calm him down, and got him to settle and nap which was a gift to me :) Laxmi is also excellent at communicating before & during the appointment. Thank you Laxmi!!!

Nicky did a great job with our large anxious german shephard, very social cat and two birds. He even went above and beyond caring for the birds making their cages nice and clean. Our shephard became comfortable with him quickly and Nicky followed our instructions well and was very communicative.

Logan was a lifesaver. We needed an emergency pet sitter for our dog Wally, and Logan was extremely responsive, professional and kept us updated throughout our very stressful weekend. It felt so relieving knowing Wally was being well taken cared for. Would work with her again and highly recommend her!

This was our first time booking with Claire, so I was definitely a little nervous at first leaving Cosmo with someone new, but it honestly worked out so well. She sent daily updates with tons of photos and videos which made us feel really comfortable knowing our baby was home getting spoiled and loved. Cosmo looked so happy in every video doing his little zoomies, and when we got home he was healthy, happy, and clearly very well taken care of. She also kept the house super clean which we really appreciated. So glad we found Claire and the definitely book her again.

Mariah is wonderful! She is trustworthy, responsible, kind, and an excellent communicator. She took great care of our two high energy border collies. She also left our home even cleaner than we left it! Mariah is such a sweet person and a natural with animals. Highly recommend!

Shanna was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive and communicative — I always felt at ease knowing exactly how things were going. She clearly has a genuine love for animals, and our pups took to her right away. I never had to worry for a second while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Shanna again and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Hannah was such a wonderful sitter for our two pups Cooper and Benny! They seemed so comfortable and happy the entire time we were away. Hannah was very communicative and sent so many photos. I would 100% recommend Hannah, and plan to ask for her support again!
