“Tommy was a fantastic sitter for Pearl while I was away! They were very responsive to my texts and I got plenty of updates throughout my trip. Pearl got ton of attention and cuddles and Tommy was very neat and kept the house tidy. I’ll definitely have Tommy care for Pearl again in the future!”

“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
4. Rachel C.
“We just used Rachel to stay in our home to care for our Border Collie, Jester. She was wonderful with Jester and our house was in pristine condition when we returned. Rachel played ball with Jester in our yard, which was challenging at times due to the mud, and he had a great time with her. Rachel sent us pics and videos of Jester and was quick to respond to our inquiries before and during her stay. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a good sitter for their pet.”

“Aubrey was great! She saved me when I needed someone last minute. My dog was super happy and got plenty of exercise, and the apartment was left better than I found it. Will use again!”
7. Anthony E.
“Anthony took great care of Coco. He came over before my trip to learn her routine, and was super patient and asked questions as I walked through the ins and outs of her needs, training, etc. Anthony has a really calming presence, and Coco seemed comfortable with him right off the bat. He is communicative in ensuring his arrival time / departure aligns with your travel plans, is super clean, and clearly works hard to ensure your fur child is well taken care of!”
8. Emma S.
“Emma spent an evening with our anxious and high energy puppy, Fig. She was communicative, on time, and really patient and comfortable with Fig. Emma clearly loves dogs and did a great job caring for our needy pup. We hope to hire her again!”

“Maddy took great care of our two dogs, and sent daily updates with pictures. One of our dogs is reactive and we felt comfortable with Maddy taking him on walks and knew they’d both be well cared for. We’d definitely recommend her!”

13. Natalia K.
“Natalya did an amazing job with Simba. Simba is an older dog and pretty set in his ways but he was thrilled to make a new friend. Natalya took him on awesome long walks and really tired him out! He’s looking forward to seeing her again and enjoying all the treats she spoiled him with!”
14. Tom Y.
“Tom was professional, communicative, and responsive! Tom took good care of our 2 40'lb dogs at our house while we were away and provided photos and updates on how everyone was doing.”
15. Isabella D.
“Bella took wonderful care of our senior pup. She communicated regularly and respected our home while house sitting. Will definitely be using her services again!”
16. Noor F.
“I contacted Noor the evening before I was leaving the country for a 10-day trip when the cat sitter I had booked months in advance had a last minute emergency and let me know she couldn't make it. I was frantic. Noor responded and was very reassuring, flexible and accommodating to the last-minute nature of my request. In addition, my cat Max is very sweet and well-behaved but is challenging because he spends most of his time outdoors and one never knows when he is around to let him back in. Noor paid attention to his comings and goings and kept me well-informed so that I didn't worry that he'd be out in the rain or out without food. She sent me photos and videos and most importantly to me, she really bonded with him so that I felt entirely able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She's a gem and I wouldn't think twice about asking her to come back.”
17. Rebecca L.
“Rebecca was great! When we arrived home are dog seemed calm and content which is unlike her after staying with someone else! Highly recommend! Thank you Rebecca!”
18. Emily H.
“Emily was great! Jake was happy and healthy upon my return, Emily sent photos and kept in communication, I couldn’t ask for more. I’d definitely re-book Emily and I recommend her highly. Thanks!”
19. Heather M.
“Heather is an angel on earth. She took care of our sweet furry child like he was her own, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well tended to while we were gone! Heather’s level of detail is incredible, and her thoughtfulness made us feel so at ease. I’d recommend Heather in a heartbeat! Thank you Heather for everything! Love, Jess, Mitch, & Louis ?”
20. Jamie K.
“Jamie watched my dog Finn, who has separation anxiety, while I went out for the evening. Jamie was flexible, communicative, responsible, and took great care of Finn! I recommend her highly and will definitely book her again!”
