1. Michelle S.


“Michelle was wonderful. She offered to do a free meet and greet beforehand, which was very helpful for us to ease our minds about leaving our dogs with someone new. She showered our dogs with love, sent photos and was very responsive whenever we checked in.”


2. Monica W.

“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”


3. Julie & Peter W.

“Julie and Peter were fabulous and our girls loved spending the weekend with them. We would love to book again for our pup’s needs in the future! Mahalo Julie and Peter!”


4. Amber R.

“Amber took great care of our two labs! She was very responsive in communications, shared pictures, and also took great care of the house. We would definitely book her again for future time away from home!”


5. Tiare A.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tiare was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She took the time to come meet my dog beforehand, which really put me at ease. Throughout the six days she watched my dog, she was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was also the perfect house guest—she cleaned up after herself and treated my home with the utmost respect. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be hiring her again! Highly recommend!”


6. Alyson F.

“Alyson was lovely!! She really took care of my baby with a bunch of walks and snuggles. She constantly sent photos and I felt like Lincoln (our pup) was in the best of hands!! Thank you so much!! Highly recommend!!”




7. Alexa B.

“Alexa is a great sitter whom I highly recommend! She was so kind and amazing to work with! She sent photos and updates of Ari and made sure to keep in contact with me while I was gone. She communicates flawlessly and is extremely responsible. Definitely asking her to come again!!”


8. casey c.

“I cannot recommend Casey highly enough for a dog and house sitter. From our fist meeting she made us feel completely at ease. In addition to taking wonderful care of our pets, Casey kept our home well cared for. We returned to a spotless house with everything exactly the way we left it. It was a relief to know our home and pets were safe. If you’re looking for someone reliable and responsible, Casey is the perfect choice. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”


9. Toni T.

“Toni is amazing! She is very trustworthy and responsible and I would totally recommend her for anyone looking for an in-house pet sitter. This was my first time using a house sitter so of course I had my fears, but Toni put all those apprehensions at ease. She has great energy and is such a kind hearted and caring person. I just knew my senior fur baby, Scooter was in good hands. Scooter can be a handful and requires daily eye drops along with lots of supplements. Toni was very diligent with administering his eye meds/supplements even though it was a bit of a struggle to give Scooter his eye drops since he moves around a lot. Toni watched Scooter for a week and had to endure walking down my steep driveway and a large barking dog at the front house, but she powered through and is truly the best! We hope to have her watch Scooter again in the future when we move to a new place.”


10. Briana O.

“Briana went above and beyond as our house/dogsitter. She visited with our dog before booking and was transparent about her availability. She was in regular communication while we were out of town and clearly made an effort to interact with our dog (even when our lazy dog was not keen on walks). Everything was great and we'd definitely book her again!”


11. Montserrat C.
“"Monse is a very good friend, I've known her all my life and without a doubt I would leave my pets in her care, she's great and has a huge heart for animals and nature. She's always been very responsible and dedicated to each goal she sets for herself, and that's why I appreciate her so much." ❤️”


12. Keala N.


“So happy to find Keala when we did. We have 2 Labradors - one who just got here about 3 weeks ago and Keala was up for the challenge of taking care of our babies 💕. Extremely prompt and the dogs love spending time with her. Will definitely book her again when we leave in a few weeks. Loved the text messages and photos she sent to keep us up to date.”


13. Melissa G.
“Melissa Gerrard is an exceptionally dedicated and experienced animal caretaker with a strong reputation for professionalism and compassion. She has provided attentive and skilled care for a wide range of animals, including—but not limited to—cats, dogs (both personal pets and highly trained security/police canines such as German Shepherds), lizards, birds, various species of rodents, as well as tropical and saltwater fish. Her experience also extends to caring for animals with special needs, such as elderly or ill pets, including a German Shepherd undergoing cancer treatment and cats recovering from spaying or neutering procedures. Melissa consistently maintains clean, safe environments for the animals under her care and is well-versed in administering medications and following veterinary instructions. In situations where she encounters unfamiliar circumstances, she demonstrates quick adaptability, confidently following directions with little to no supervision. Her deep love for animals is evident in her attentive approach and unwavering commitment to their well-being. With a strong track record of satisfied clients, community members, and family referrals, Melissa has earned trust and respect as a reliable and compassionate pet-sitter. As someone who has personally witnessed the exceptional quality of her animal care, I can wholeheartedly recommend Melissa Gerrard for any pet-sitting or animal caregiving role. Her professionalism, empathy, and experience make her a standout in the field.”


14. Taylor R.
“I happy to recommend Taylor as an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker. She is a responsible, compassionate, and energetic individual with a natural ability to connect with animals and provide outstanding care. Having grown up with dogs, she understands the responsibilities and joys of pet care. Her experience ranges from handling playful puppies to caring for older dogs with health needs. She treats every dog with the same love and attention she gives her own, ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort. Taylor is also highly active and enjoys spending time outdoors, making her the perfect companion for dogs that need regular walks and exercise. Whether it's a brisk walk, a hike in the hills, or simply some quality playtime, Taylor goes the extra mile to keep pets physically and mentally engaged. In addition to her excellent animal care skills, Taylor is reliable, communicative, and respectful of our home and routines. You can count on her to be punctual, responsive, and always attentive to the unique needs of your pets. In short, Taylor would be a wonderful choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry family members. I am confident that she will exceed expectations and provide service that brings peace of mind to both you and your pets.”


15. Haunani S.

“We love Haunani! She is friendly, responsive and very professional. This was our first time using her for our dogs and house sitting, and she was great! Right before we left on our trip, one of our dogs developed a medical issue and she handled it very well. She kept us updated with photos and reports, so we were able to relax completely while away. I highly recommend her!”


16. Joseph R.
“I've seen firsthand how dedicated and compassionate Joseph is with the dogs he fosters. He has a special talent for helping dogs who have never been in a home before come out of their shell and thrive. His commitment to maintaining routines and providing consistent care really sets him apart. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Joseph is the one you can trust.”


17. Christina S.
About: I don’t discriminate between pets, want a dog sitter but also need someone to feed and look after birds/fish/lizards, etc.? I’m the woman for the job! I’m currently between jobs which means I have lots of free time to look after your pet. I can stop by through the day and give them some love, stay the nights and clean up around the place or even just feed and walk them. The choice is up to you! I’m known for making sure your furry loved ones get plenty of care and stimulation. Whether that means walks, fetch, or just a few extra pets and scratches in your absence. I’ll feed and clean up after them regardless of how extensive the routine might be for either. Any additional costs (buying you-approved treats or things you run out of if I’m house sitting) are covered by me!


18. Suzanne T.

“Wonderful care for our beloved fur ball while we were off island. The house is immaculate too. Thoughtful of his wellbeing while we were gone, with updates, pictures and check-ins as needed, and plenty of activity and attention to appease his codependent nature. Thank you Suzanne!!!!”


19. KIANA D.
“We had a great experience with Kiana. She was very good with our friendly-turned shy kitty, especially when he misses us. She provided professional and friendly care, and was very easy to communicate with as well. Highly recommended!”


20. Adiella M.
