We hired Lisa for a last-minute trip to visit family, and she was a fantastic housesitter. From the start, she put us at ease and we felt confident our two cats would be well cared for. She was super communicative, sent frequent photo updates, and was flexible with our changing plans. When it looked like our dog care might fall through, she was even willing to step in and help with her too. Lisa went above and beyond - she assured us she’d check in on the cats again if anything came up with our travels, and we came home to an impeccably clean house. She even washed the sheets, which made coming home that much better. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!

Max and Elizabeth are at their happiest with Han. It always puts a smile on my face when Han shares a picture of them with me. I feel better knowing they are both happy.

Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!

Lei is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my 3 year old golden retriever in my home while I was on vacation for a week and I felt very confident in all the care, attention, and love she gave to my pup while I was away. She kept me informed with many pictures and updates each day which I really appreciated. She paid great attention and followed all care instructions carefully. I enjoyed my vacation more knowing my pup was happy and in such good hands. We will use her again for sure and cannot recommend her enough!

We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!

Camila and Anthony are special people. I booked them to housesit for my 16 year old dog while I recovered from knee surgery. It was an unusual situation for everyone because I was home. It took some getting used to but we all adjusted. They were kind, considerate, and loving to my dog. And I really appreciated their creative problem solving when the dog was stubborn and wouldn’t eat or take his meds.

Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.

Anne was available over MLK weekend when my wife and I went to the hospital to deliver our daughter. It was such a stressful and fast moving weekend, and Anne was amazing throughout. She let us add in a day because we needed another day in the hospital. And she took fabulous care of our dog - Charlie and our cat Max. Anne even dealt with an alarm from one of the house systems. Anne is a fabulous sitter, and we always contact her first when we need someone.

Antonia house sat for our two 5 month old cats, for 12 days and was so great with them! One of our cats normally needs some time to get out of his shy phase with new people and Antonia was patient and loving with him because in no time he was back to his cuddly and playful self. She was extremely communicative if things seemed off and she made us feel comfortable while we were away with lots of cute pictures and videos! I’d recommend her to anyone who needs their pets to be cared for!

We received updates regularly while gone in addition to Christina making sure our home was taken care of. Highly recommend using Christina!

I liked Brianna the first time I met her, and she didn't disappoint and gave me the all-important peace of mind leaving my aging dog for a weekend trip away. She stayed at my house, she's trustworthy, lovely and kind. Frequent updates with photos and video, and indulged my dog in ways that I hoped. :-) Would definitely ask Brianna to care for my dog Rose again.

We can’t say enough great things about Anne! She has been wonderful when it comes to watching our dogs, Mikko and Jack. From the start, she has been incredibly responsive and always prompt with her replies, which gives us such peace of mind when I am away. Anne goes above and beyond by sending the sweetest photos and updates throughout her visits, so we never have to wonder how our boys are doing. She has also been flexible, happily spending time with Mikko and Jack our home — which means the world to us, as they’re a little older and we like knowing they’re in a familiar, comfortable environment. Most importantly, you can just tell that Anne genuinely cares about the dogs in her charge. Mikko and Jack are our boys, and trusting someone with them is not something we take lightly. Anne has earned that trust completely. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly passionate about the pets she cares for!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Han was a lifesaver this past week, as I was in the hospital and Han pet sat for my energetic 3 year old dog. My dog is very happy and the apartment looks great. I am continuing to use Han’s help in coming weeks with walks and feeding. Han is kind and trustworthy. She has great communication and is professional.

Alison is truly the most reliable, professional, and kind pet sitter I could have ever hoped to find. My dog fell in love with her instantly, and from the very first moment I felt completely confident and at ease leaving Stevie in her care. Beyond being amazing with pets, Alison is an incredibly supportive and understanding person. During our trip, we got unexpectedly stuck due to a snowstorm, and Alison went above and beyond to help us. She reassured us, stayed extra days, and even sacrificed her personal plans just to make sure we were okay and that Stevie was well taken care of. I am endlessly grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and genuine care. I truly can’t recommend Alison enough, finding someone like her is a rare blessing.

There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!
