“Arlene is the best pet sitter for my two trouble makers. Shes very patient , compassionate and attentive to them. She visits my little furr babies three to four times a week. She is very flexible with time and days as i dont have set days off. She is able to accomodate me last minute when i get called into work. Arlene will also call me or text me if one of babies is sick while im at work and make sure their okay before she leaves. She teaches them commands and plays with them in the backyard. My furr babies are always so happy to see her and do their daily routine together. I cant say enough good things about her.”


“It was as if my dog had known him for years, that's how comfortable she was with him!”


“Heather is the best pet sitter we have ever had! We have a lot of pets with a lot of personalities and needs, she is very mindful and attentive to each of them individually. We have left our 5 cats and big dog with her for both short overnighters and long 2+ week trips and we always come home to happy animals who are still comfortably within their routines. Our dog Bean loves Heather and our finicky cats warmed up to her very quickly. We always felt safe and comfortable leaving our babies in her care!”

“I’m writing this to let you know that Amber watched my dog Annie for 10 days. She is a very soft spoken caring person. I trusted her to take care of my dog as I had to visit a family member. It was hard for me to leave my dog. After the interview with Amber I felt so happy and I wasn’t worried anymore because she is a caring, knowledgeable pet person.”

“Michelle took great care of my dog. She was very responsive and kept me informed each time she came in. I will trust her again next time I go away.”

She communicated extremely well not only with me but also my sister as I was out of town. I will definitely book Lauren again. I trust her with my babies and my home!”

“Jessica has been amazing with our new puppy, Cooper. For drop-in visits, she is punctual and takes him out for multiple potty breaks. She plays with him and even cleaned up when he had an accident in his crate. We would highly recommend Jessica!”



“Sandy was amazing with Chansey!! So grateful to have found her on this app. And I look forward to Sandy caring for her again in the future. Thanks Sandy, for loving on my little Chansey girl xoxo”


“I highly recommend Julia Goldstein for any pet-sitting or dog-walking position. She has cared for my golden retriever multiple times, and I’ve always been impressed with her reliability, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Julia goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Rover would be lucky to have her!”

They were reliable, professional, and managed Arto’s size and energy with ease. It’s not always easy to find someone who can handle such a large dog, but Hannah made it look effortless. They kept us updated with pictures and notes, and we could tell Arto was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again—highly recommend!"”
