“Anna was fantastic! Such a reliable, responsible and caring sitter. My dog had an amazing week with her. She provided timely updates, photos and was the perfect host for my dog. She took my dog on walks and had play dates with her dog! It makes being away so easy when you know your pet is in great hands! I would 100% recommend Anna and will be using her again! A+”

10. Cristina M.

“Our Basset hound, Posie, took an immediate liking to Cristina. We are so happy with Cristina's services. We left her for four whole days (3 nights) with Cristina. Not only did she take excellent care of our baby, she contacted us when some critters caused trouble in our garage and resolved the problems. We are extremely happy with her services. She left our house clean, our dog very happy, and was pleasant and helpful. We were especially glad that she stayed in touch with us by phone and text during our absence. She is great!”


11. Dawnn B.

12. Elyse D.

“Else did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, cat and home. We took a vacation for a week, and felt very confident in Elyse after meeting with her. Lucy is our 2 year old pitbull and she warmed up to Elyse right away. Our cat is not as out going but Elyse was an excellent care giver to them both. Our home was treated with respect and we plan to contact her again with any other trips we my take.”

“Lexie did a great job keeping us updated during our trip! We had a few travel changes and she was very flexible. When we arrived home, the house was clean and tidy!”


14. Megan W.

“We were very pleased with the exceptional service provided by Megan! On very short notice, she stepped in to watch my two dogs over the weekend, and the experience was fantastic. My dogs immediately warmed up to her, and I was relieved to receive regular updates and adorable photos. When I returned, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you Megan for taking such great care of my two fur babies!”


15. Lillian L.

“Lillian was great! Very good at communicating with us. House was left exactly as it was left, and Lillian was very respectful of our home and pets. Would rebook!”


16. Kyah S.

“Communication was good however we did not receive many unprompted status updates or photos of our pets. During house sitting, was one day that our home entry logs indicated that no one stayed the evening with our pets. A few other logs were noted that indicated time spent in the home was about 2-3 minutes in the evening then returning later. Our dogs were happy to see us and appeared to be fed”


17. Peter S.


“I had an unexpected change in plans over the Thanksgiving week and needed someone to stay with my pup. Not only was Peter able, but he was willing on such short notice. Ellie liked Peter right away and when she gave him her belly for rubs they were instant friends. Peter took care of her and my home and sent updates and pictures. Peter is kind, sweet and he saved the day! We look forward to having him back.”


18. Rachael V.

“Prompt communication, respectful of our home, and most importantly took great care of our dog Lynk. Would absolutely use Rachael again anytime. Thanks a bunch.”


19. Jennifer R.

“Jen was amazing with our dog and went out of her way to make sure he had a great weekend while we were gone. We came home to a house that was in even better condition than we left it. We can’t wait to hire Jen for our next trip.”


20. Uyen T.

“Uyen was a life saver. She committed to two weeks of house sitting on very short notice. I was also sick and could not do a meet and greet until a few days before I was to leave. Uyen worked magic on my shy sometimes grumpy kitties. She definitely charmed them and sent picture updates. She kept the house in good order and even filled the bird feeders. I would definitely recommend Uyen.”
