Top rated Jefferson Park house sitters

“Andrea is fantastic! She watched out two dogs and our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She sent many photos and was very communicative, which we really appreciated, and she was so sweet with the dogs. I can tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would love to have Andrea back the next time we travel!”


“Jo was great!! She was very communicative and took great care of our little Josie. This was our first time leaving our 3 month old puppy for the night and Jo made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be using Jo again!! 🙂”


“Coleen stayed with our animals while we were gone and was amazing. She sent many messages and photos throughout our trip so we knew they were getting the best care. When we got home our dog was tired and happy - a sign of a fun long weekend! We will definitely rebook with Coleen and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Jillian watched our two dachshunds for a weekend and she was fantastic - friendly and easy to communicate with, very punctual. We are looking forward to having her watch them again!”


“I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!”


“Renee is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. She takes the time to learn your pet, and applies her experience to help them thrive while you’re away. She was consistent with communication at every step as well, and incredibly trustworthy. My pup warmed up to her right away!”


“Joseph lived in my apartment while taking care of my golden retriever. He is highly reliable, taking her for walks, feeding her and grooming her. He respected my apartment, leaving everything tidy and clean I feel he is trustworthy and can be counted on not only to take the minimal care of my dog but also to engage socially with her and minimize her stress (she has separation anxiety) with a new person. I recommend him totally.”



“Adam stayed with my pooch this weekend and and did a superb job. Harry was well cared for plus Adam kept me updated (with texts/photos) which was very nice. I'll definitely use Adam again!”


“Zoe is everything you would want in a dog sitter and so much more!!! She communicated well and was super kind and flexible throughout. Our 3-month old puppy loved her and kept looking for her after she left!! She sent pictures and videos and was very tuned into the needs of our puppy. We highly recommend her without reservation!”


“Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!”


“Aleia took great care of our fur baby. She was responsive to our texts, sent updates, and we came back to a clean house. Would recommend Aleia for house sitting and caring for your pets.”


“Lou stayed in house, tending to our cat - she was wonderful! When we returned our cat was happy and at peace, and the house was in perfect condition. 10/10 recommend Lou, we will be booking with her again!”


“Elijah took great care of my cat while I had to travel for work. My cat had medication that needed to be administered, and there were no problems. So happy! Thank you!”



“Jenna took great care of Nixon. She's clearly very sweet and a kind human and treats all animals like they are her own fur-family. She sent me photos along the way and that was very helpful! She was punctual and extremely responsive and left the house even tidier than when she arrived. I would recommend her to anyone.”


“Took a 10 day long trip and was blessed to feel completely at ease knowing my babies were well cared for. Stephanie sent messages and videos to update us on the stay so we were always in the loop. Definitely recommend!”


“Josie's stayed with our dog a couple times now and he's always very happy to see her! She's easy to communicate and coordinate with and we'd definitely hire her again!”


“Casey was amazing! She took the time to learn about my dogs and their needs before her stay. She asked great questions about their personalities, behaviors, and training. While I was away, my three dogs were well cared for and Casey took great care with my home as well. I would highly recommend Casey!”
