“Maddie was fantastic! She was highly proactive with outreach and made sure to ask lots of questions. She was prompt with a meet and greet and made sure to keep our dog comfortable, giving her all the attention needed and handling things according to our instructions. She was kind, responsive and communicative throughout. We came home to a very happy dog - we wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back over!”

“Breon was amazing in taking care of an emergent situation for one of my pups while house sitting. It was her first time sitting for us, but kept us in the loop and continued to provide excellent care for my other dog in the meantime. Would welcome her back anytime!”
“August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.”

“Andrea was amazing with our sweet boy. He has some special attention needs and she was completely understanding and responsive to them. She sent us great periodic updates and took him on walks as well (his favorite!). We will def book with her again! In addition to being great with Chico, she left our home exactly the way we left it!”


“Having Madi stay with our dogs was fabulous! They were happy and well taken care of. There was no hunger strike or readjustment period as in the past :) Madi was great with communication!”

“James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Sirena did an amazing job caring for our 3 pets while we were gone for more than 10 days. Our elderly dog got sick while we were gone and she contacted me immediately, as well as contacting the vet and caring for him. He was fine by the time we got home. She left the house neat and clean on our return. I couldn't as for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Olesja was amazing with my dog Kopitar, she stayed at my house with him and he is a handful but she was patient and very communicative with me about his needs and what was going on. I came home to a happy well taken care of guy. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a great sitter. Thank you Olesja!”

“Maura was very responsive when I reached out to schedule with her! We got the meet and greet set up that same day for within a week and then she was able to watch my guys within two weeks! During the meet and greet, she asked plenty of questions and it made myself and my fiance feel comfortable leaving our animals in her care as she seemed very on top of it! She was also very nice and listened to all of our instructions! Maura stayed over for the weekend and sent picture updates every day. The boys looked comfortable and like they were enjoying themselves! Once arriving home, the house was clean and tidy! No complaints here! Glad we went with her and will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

“Emily was so amazing with our two older rescues! The dogs took to her right away and we felt super comfortable leaving them with her. She kept us updated during our trip and sent us photos.. couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend.”

“Leslie was awesome with our two dogs and cat. She stayed overnight so we could take a weekend trip. We were able to truly relax knowing the pups were in great hands! Dogs seemed super happy when we got home and she sent a few pictures over the visit. Highly recommend Leslie!!!”

“Christabel was great with my cats, and she was very communicative during my trip. I appreciated her ability to take my booking, even though it was last minute. I will definitely keep her in mind for future trips!”

“Emily was great! She sent lots of pictures and made sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town, especially when one wasn’t feeling well. I would definitely have her pet sit again!”

Mickey was an excellent in-home sitter and took great care of my pets for a full week. Mickey was attentive, communicative, and provided regular updates with great photos. Mickey also helped with household upkeep and made sure my pets got plenty of exercise through long walks. I highly recommend Mickey!

For one of the first times, I’ve been able to go on vacation and know all of my animals were well taken care of. Andrea was awesome!! She sent me lots of pictures and videos and kept in touch while we were away- this is for me such a game changer- being able to see and hear how everyone is doing helps me relax and enjoy. When I came home all of the animals were happy and seemed very content. I will definitely be scheduling with Andrea again!

Breon was lovely! She sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay and was very considerate of our dogs medication schedules. Our dogs clearly got lots of playtime and cuddles. She was super respectful of the house and a great communicator over the 4 night stay. Won’t hesitate to have her back!
