1. Sherry B.

“We are so happy that we found Sherry to take care of our 3 dogs! She is polite and responsible and trustworthy. It meant a lot that she really took her time to make sure she knew our babies and their needs before staying with them. My dogs took to her very quickly upon meeting, which was great! We believe our babies were in the best of care! We will definitely continue to use her:)”


2. David P.

“David P. takes excellent care of Rudy. Rudy looks forward to his visits. I can honestly say it is like leaving your pet with a trusted friend. I have full confidence that even if an emergency should arise David would handle the situation perfectly. Thank you so much David for your excellence service and commitment. The very definition of integrity is doing the right thing in any given situation whether there is a consequence or not. I wholly endorse David.”


3. Sadie R.

“Sadie is super responsive and friendly, sent plenty of pics of our pup while sitting and took great care of her while we were away. Highly recommended!”


4. Julia B.

“Julia has watched my 11 week old puppy a couple times now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. She keeps me updated with pictures and texts the whole time which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable having her in my apartment to look after my little baby. I highly recommend her!!”


5. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn did an outstanding job watching our pup and two kitties while we were away for 4 days. She was all ways in communication with us and sent many pictures. She genuinely loves all animals an strives to befriend even the toughest ones (aka our scaredy cat and her became besties). Thankful to have had her to take care of our fur babies and will definitely book again for our next vacay.”


6. Brien F.

“Brien took my request to housesit my 2 dogs at the last minute when my previous boarder cancelled. He took great care of my babies & was fantastic with communication & pictures while I was away. Additionally, he was very accommodating when my cleaners came while he was there. I'd definitely hire Brien again!”


7. Rebecca F.

“Rebecca is incredibly reliable, caring and phenomenal with my dog Cash. I trust that when she’s with him, she is giving him all the attention, multiple walks a day, and she even takes him on adventures while they are together. Cash gets visibly excited to see her each time and it’s easy to see that he loves spending time with her. When I’m away I have all the peace of mind knowing that Cash is in the best hands. Rebecca always leaves my house better than she found it and makes sure Cash is fed, cared for and exercised! I can’t recommend her more for help with animals!”


8. Timothy F.
“Tim helped us out last minute when our sitter fell through. I was really hesitant to have someone I didn’t know stay with my dogs, but as soon as I met him, I could tell he was a good guy. He further proved that by doing a stellar job with my girls throughout the week. He sent consistent updates, took them for walks, gave one of our dogs her daily pill, etc. He was awesome and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone. We will definitely be using him as our sitter in the future.”




9. Joshua N.


“It’s so important to come home to happy and relaxed fur kids! Josh takes great care of them and the peace of mind of having Josh in the house while we are away is priceless!”


10. Lusianna M.

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


11. Jade W.

“Jade was amazing with my dog and cat. Communication was awesome and Jade even helped my dad deal with my broken water heater. Definitely went above and beyond and highly recommend!”


12. Brea A.

“Brea was an excellent sitter. I have four pets with unique personalities and needs. She was attentive, thoughtful, and provided excellent care. I would absolutely not hesitate to book Brea again. I came home to happy pets, and a tidy house. Thank you, Brea!”


13. Yadira A.

“Yadira was awesome! Our dogs loved Yadira and we felt so at ease while we were away. Yadira went above and beyond. We would recommend Yadira to anyone looking for a reliable in-home sitter!!”


14. Kelly U.

“I take a yearly vacation leaving my Bella in the care of a sitter. I reached out and met with Kelly a month before the trip. Bella took to her immediately like a long lost friend, in the days leading up to leaving Kelly came by for another meet and greet to get keys and basic information again Bella adored. Kelly was able to spend quality time with Bella. Take her outside play fetch with her snuggle with her. Upon our return, she was very excited and happy that we were home I could tell that she miss Kelly as well, and there are bigger accolades than when your pet misses their sitter. Thank you Kelly for taking care of her if she were your own and we will absolutely be seeing you again.”


15. Joey G.

“Joey took great care of Moss while I was away for the weekend. Will absolutely book him again. Thanks!”

“Hector did an amazing job taking care of our dog and 2 cats! Always responsive and sends great picture updates. Will definitely be hiring again!”


17. Taliah D.

“Taliah was nothing short of exceptional! Our dogs were so happy to be with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day, showed care and concern and asked questions when needed. I can’t recommend her enough. Looking forward to the next time we are away and can book her! Will 💯 use her again!”


18. Debra C.

“Deb was wonderful! Our rescue dog got comfortable with her real fast and slept most of the time. The peace of mind that our separation anxiety dog had a sitter he felt safe with was phenomenal. Thank you!”


19. Magdalena B.

“We are happy repeat customers of Magdalena! Always appreciate her consistent communication, updates, and conscientious care for our cat.”


20. Sabrina H.
