1. Dylan B.

“Dylan took great care of Tilly and our house. She communicated regularly and sent lots of updates and pictures. I would recommend her to others!”


2. Mark N.
“Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.”


3. Caris C.

“This was my second time having Caris watch my dog Ulysses and she was fantastic once again. Very careful, considerate, and communicative. Looking forward to having her watch Ulysses in the future!”


4. Carol K.

“My reactive, high energy girl had so much fun, exercise and engagement that I think she was disappointed when I came home! How do I know? Loads of updates and excellent photos & even a video. And I'm pretty sure my house is in better shape than I left it. For 4 nights/5 days she had a ball and I had a real level of comfort. In fact we've already booked Carol again for my next work trip.”


5. Carol F.

“Carol was so amazing taking care of my pup (and housesitting) while I was out of town! So communicative and easy going. I’ll definitely be a repeat client!!”


6. Zara K.

“We are so happy we found Zara. She has been so helpful in watching our Cat and Dog. She is always super responsive and sends us lots of pictures and updates. Thank you again, I know the boys are in great hands with you.”


7. Katelyn C.

“Katelyn was so great with our senior dog! She was patient with her special needs and gave so many updates. Aside from taking great care of our dog, she left our apartment so clean and tidy! We would definitely have her back any time we’re out of town!”


8. Stephanie A.

“Stephanie is an incredible dog sitter! She was so loving and attentive to my dog, and really helped him with his anxiety. He got so much play and love and outdoor time. She is communicative and insightful and amazing with animals (and their pet parents 😊).”


9. Jenna & Matthew H.

“Jenna and Matt were so friendly and communicative, and they handled my dog Rowdy like pros. Jenna sent lots of pictures, and even kept a log of when they went out. I’ll definitely book with them again.”


10. Gabi B.

“Gabi did a fantastic job taking care of of my dog! My dog is reactive and doesn’t do well with strangers, but she loved Gabi! Gabi was very gentle and patient with her and made sure to communicate with me about how my dog was doing, which gave me peace of mind. She was a respectful house guest and an excellent pet sitter, I will definitely be booking with her again and can’t recommend her enough!”


11. Carolina R.

“Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!”


12. Erin H.

“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”


13. Sarah V.


“Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!”


14. Nicholas & Larissa A.

“Nicholas was great with our 3 high spirited boxers. They can be a bit much with new people but they took to Nicholas and Larissa right away. Nicholas was clearly at ease with them and they had a good evening hanging together. Highly recommend!”


15. Kayleigh C.

“Kayleigh is an amazing sitter. She was punctual and responsive, and gave our dog Stanley plenty of love/attention. She went above and beyond, sending pictures during their time together, cleaning his bowls and stand(which were gross and I had been putting off), and following specific directions about his walks. Her experience with bigger dogs put our minds at ease while we were away. Would 110% rebook!”


16. Samuel J.

“Sam took care of Brooklyn and Sydney for a few nights. Sam provided daily updates, twice a day to include pictures and a quick recap on any important info to pass. We will definitely keep Sam on our pet sitter to hire list for the next time we have a pet sitting need.”


17. adrian d.

“Adrian did a great job with my 2 active dogs. He was communicative and followed all the instructions I left! Would highly recommend and will be using him again!”




18. Sarah H.


“Sarah is amazing! She handled our animal filled household like a total pro (and our dogs can be a bit of a handful!). She sent frequent pictures and kept us updated daily. We’ll definitely book her again!”


19. Trisha D.

“Trisha is simply amazing. My dog absolutely loves her. And this past house sit, I was stranded outside the country for 5 additional days due to the global IT outage. Trisha put me at ease immediately! She was flexible and agreed to stay with my pup for the additional days, despite the unforeseen circumstances. It was one less major thing to worry about as I tried to get home. She approaches her work with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. I'd give 6 stars if I could!”


20. Marko D.

“Marko adhered to Rocky’s and Boo-boo’s schedule, allowing them to have some familiarity while we were away. He sent lots of pictures to keep us informed and included in their daily activities. He also cared for our house making our return that much easier. We’re booking with him again for our next trip.”
