1. Kevin M.

“Kevin was our saving grace! We had to change sitters last-minute and Kevin stepped in without a glitch. He is very responsive and attentive. He spent tons of quality time with Toby and always kept us in the loop. Good sense of humor too. Would definitely book with him again.”


2. Rakia P.

“Rakia did a great job taking care of my two dogs during the coldest days of 2025! She kept me updated on how things were going and left the house in great shape.”


3. Ri C.
“Ri was attentive with our girl and spent lots of time with her, sent us regular photos. She came over beforehand to figure out where everything was and asked lots of questions to make sure she kept her routine as I disturbed as possible.”


4. Summar L.

“Summar was great with my foster dog with separation distress on a day I needed to go to the office. She conducted a meeting the day before to meet the dog and go over the routine and any other things she should know. The day of the pet sitting, everything went smoothly. She followed the routine and sent updates with great pictures. I highly recommend Summar because she is passionate about pets, is customer oriented, and I could tell that my foster dog had made a new friend!”


5. Omar & Claudia T.


“Omar was a wonderful sitter for my dog. I am very glad I found him. He sent me timely updates with photos of what he was doing to keep my dog happy and he followed all the directions I left for him. I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly use him again to watch my pup.”


6. FRANCIS I.

“Francis is a gentle and patient person. On our Meet & Greet, our dog Farah--who is very nervous around new people--jumped at her and would have bit her during an evening walk, but she was muzzled. Nonetheless, Francis came for a second M&G inside the house, and with the offering of treats, Farah warmed to her very quickly. I also like the fact that Francis is in the military, as this makes me feel more confident leaving her lone in the house. She sent us photos and promptly reported on a minor issue during the evening. Highly recommend!”


7. Karachi O.


“Once again, Karachi knocked it out of the park! She did a fabulous job caring for Zora and made sure to send updates throughout the week. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Karachi!!”


8. Xena S.

“Xena is reliable and very sweet with my anxious dog. This is the first time leaving him with a sitter and he warmed up to her almost immediately. Thanks!”




9. Jason U.


“This was our first time using a pet/house sitter for our puppies while we went away on vacation and Jason was extremely communicative and loving to our home and pets. We had a great experience!!”


10. Casper L.

“Casper did a great job taking care of our giant doggo and feisty kitty while we were away for the weekend. We got regular updates and photos and came back to happy pets and clean house. We would absolutely book them again in the future!”


11. Malek B.


“Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.”


12. Noah S.
“I have trusted Noah to watch my three high maintenance dogs for almost two years now. He is responsible, caring and loving towards them, and always attentive to my instructions. I’m very particular and he respects all my requests and always sends pictures. My Pitbull is reactive on walks and noah is the only person beside myself whom I’ve ever allowed to walk her. I know without a doubt I can feel secure when I’m at work or away on a trip if he is watching them, which is such a rare feeling for me!”




13. Julianne B.


“Julianne was just amazing! She was willing to work with us even though it was a las minute booking. She sent daily pics, took the dogs on walks, and treated them as a replacement mommy. Could not be happier, we will deff be booking with her again!”


14. Haley R.


“Haley watched and cared for our dogs and chickens while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier!!! We were nervous leaving our animals for 10 days, but rest assured - Haley made sure they were thoroughly looked after. Great communication, very friendly and came home to a spotless home (with 2 dogs, fur tends to go everywhere!). Extremely satisfied. Thanks again Haley!”


15. Meri D.

“Meri was very professional and accommodating! My dog Rufus was super excited to spend time with her and Rufus was a happy little guy when I returned from vacation. We highly recommend Meri!”


16. Mikayla S.

“Mikayla was amazing! Our dog loved her and even wanted to get up on the bed with her. He does not do that often if at all. She was professional, caring, and overall put our minds at ease. I would highly recommend her.”


17. Savannah G.

“Savannah was perfect! We had to go out of town unexpectedly for a few days and she took wonderful care of my dog and cat!”


18. Tsaitami D.

“Tsaitami did a great job with our pets. Emma (the rarely-sighted cat) came out for hugs and bedtime, Eli and Josie survived storms with her. She even took Eli to our vet when he had symptoms of gastric issues. Our house was immaculate when we returned. We've already booked her for another stay. I highly recommend her.”


19. Kelly J.

“June stayed with Kelly for 2 nights. Kelly sent lots of updates and pictures. She took great care of June, even when June was being a bit of a handful! We would book with Kelly again.”


20. Mahlia F.
“She was awesome! She sent pictures of my pup, max, while I was gone! She took my boy on daily walks and followed my detailed instructions exactly. I appreciated the pictures and updates daily”
