“Alex and Rachel took great care of our pup while we were away. They sent frequent updates and gave our boy so much attention and love. I will definitely book with them again!”

“Even though we were nervous about leaving our new-to-us pup for a week, she was in loving hands with Christina! We appreciated the daily updates and Christina’s (and her son’s) efforts to keep our pup stimulated and socialized. Would book again without question!”

“Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!”

“Lauren was the best! This was our first time leaving our 7month old puppy and Lauren was so great with sending us photo updates and keeping us on the loop which gave us such peace of mind. She was able to handle his puppy energy and schedule and he seemed so comfortable with her! She is responsive, on time, reliable and so pleasant to work with. We’ll definitely be using Lauren again!”

“run don’t walk to book samantha!! she was the best with our dog. super detail oriented and beyond friendly. our dog loved her the second she came in the door. you can really rely on her and she gives plenty of updates as well. will definitely book again!!”

“Duncan was a professional and responsible caretaker. He went above and beyond our expectations when he took care of our 2 dogs Honey and Pickles for two weeks. Before even starting the job, he met us in a freezing blizzard for a simple meet + greet, which I think immediately showed his dedication to the job. He also cleaned up around our house when the dogs were making a mess, not something that we asked him to do — but rather something that he proactively did. One of our dogs, Honey, has anxiety. Duncan even stood overnight on New Years Eve just to help her stay calm during the fireworks, which I believe is something your average dog caretaker wouldn’t do! He was also very responsive with text and sent us updates every day. I felt much peace of mind because I knew Duncan was taking our two dogs on 2 walks every day, feeding them on time, and spending some time with them too. I would definitely recommend Duncan to a friend and would rebook him myself!”


“Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.”

About: I have always had a dog since I was a child. I currently have a 6 year old shepherd mix Parsley. He's the only person who likes hanging out with dogs in my house more than me and my partner. I have plenty of experience watching other dogs - my friends and I watch each others dogs when we're out of town and its always a joy. Parsley loves to play with other dogs but is also great at reading a vibe. If your dog doesn't like to play Parsley is more than happy to give them their space. I also have experience with reactive dogs. In the last year we lost our other dog Franz. We loved having Franz but he was not an easy dog. He was reactive towards people and other dogs and we managed him very well - taking extreme caution to make sure there were no altercations with anyone or their pets. I work from home so can be very attentive and I already take Parsley on 2 45 minute walks a day so your pet will get plenty of exercise. We'd love to have your dog come have a hang with Parsley and me. I work from home so can give your pet complete around the clock care. I also live with my partner who has just as much experience with and love for animals as myself. I have a fenced in yard and a large 6 year old shepherd mix. We walk him on 2 loong walks every day so we are very used to getting pets exercise. He also loves to play but is good at reading the room if your dog likes to be left alone. We have had 2 pets before and always make sure to feed them in separate rooms. We have a spare bedroom if your dog likes their own space - we can set up their crate and let them do their thing.

“Ann was very responsive and easy to book! She helped me with a last minute request and tended wonderfully to my temperamental pup. Received updates and photos throughout. Highly recommend!”

“Alexi was absolutely wonderful with my babies. I had to go out of state last minute for a week and she made it so stress free. I haven’t been away from my puppy at all and she did a great job of keeping in communication with me and sending me photos. Also helped me get my phone returned as I had left it in my uber… she was legit wonderful on every level.”
“Olivia took great care of my dog! She sent update photos throughout the stay and was great with communication. She followed all of our instructions and left the house very clean. We returned to a very happy pup. Would definitely recommend Olivia!”

“This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.”

“Alexandra took such great care of my baby! She sent regular updates and photos and videos. My cat is shy, and she felt so safe with Alexandra that she really came out of her shell. I highly recommend her care for your pets! ❤️”

“Sabina did an amazing job sitting my cats over the holidays! i was in a last-minute bind and looking for overnight help for my two cats and she was kind enough to take the job and go above and beyond to care for my babies/send updates. it was so nice being able to have some peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. would highly recommend!”

“Sieanna was so great watching our 5 month old pup for two days! Friendly, attentive to our puppy’s needs, and gave wonderful detailed reports with photos of their day. We will be using Sieanna again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Val did an awesome job watching our two large dogs at our house for an extended period! It was clear that she really cared and spent lots of timing playing with them and making them feel loved. She kept us updated with details of how the dogs were doing and shared lots of pictures so that we never worried. Val also went above and beyond in keeping the house in tidy shape and making sure that everything was in order when we returned from our trip. She will absolutely be our first call for all of our future pup sitting needs!”

“Ariadna took amazing care of my very anxious rescue dog. She was so patient with Penny, and it seems like Penny really trusted her by the end of the weekend! She sent tons of pictures and updates every day, (which were so appreciated!) and was vey communicative. She also left my home very clean. Highly recommend!”

“This was our second time with Quanece & Malik dog sitting at our house. Our two fur babies were so excited to see them when they arrived, we received constant updates and photos, and house was taken care of very well. We could not be happier and will continue to book through them!!”

Ava was an amazing house/dog sitter for the weekend! She took amazing care of Archie and Cora and was very communicative throughout the entire process. She checked in every morning and evening and sent pictures, and we felt like the two of them were in great hands! We would definitely book Ava's services again in the future!

Mounika was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home with our 8-month-old puppy and provided thoughtful, regular updates throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy can be quite a handful at times, but he absolutely adores her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. On top of that, she helped us navigate an unexpected HVAC issue while we were gone and left our home spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would recommend her without hesitation. 100/10!

We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She took such great care of Ellie, sent lots of updates and photos, was quick to communicate, and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. I was fully able to enjoy my time away knowing Ellie was in such good hands. She also helped with a last-minute walk request the week before our trip. She treated both our home and our pup with so much care and respect. She is reliable and trustworthy, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
