1. Terry S.
“Terry stayed in our home with Rocky for almost two weeks and was extremely gracious when, due to travel complications , we arrived home at around 4AM! Our home and precious pooch were extremely well cared for. We highly recommend her!”
2. Tiffany T.
“Tiffany watched our 2 Ridgebacks at our home for 5 days and nights. I have a puppy 8 months old and a senior almost 12. I trust her implicitly with my dogs. They mean so much to myself and my husband and I don’t leave them with just anyone. This was the first time that we would have been away from the puppy more than a couple of hours. She kept us up to date daily and sent lots of pics. The pup adjusted and settled in quickly because of Tiffany’s amazing dog skills. She kept the house and the yard very tidy despite the rain and mud. Next time we go anywhere she will be my first call. She is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loved the dogs. You won’t be sorry if you book with her.”
3. Ashley P.
“Ashley helped me out on relatively short notice with my new rescue when I had to go away for a night. She kept a watchful eye on him and made sure not to keep him from starting any of his naughty habits. She sent lots of pics throughout the night and made me feel better about leaving my guy for a night.”
4. Francis E.
“Francis is the absolute best house/cat/dog sitter we have ever had! We can't believe how lucky we are to have found her and are so grateful for all she did to take care of our cat and dog! I swear she left our house cleaner than we did! I have never been able to leave our pets with anyone except for family so meeting Francis and being able to trust her and have such a great experience was a godsend. Book her immediately! I have absolutely no reservations about wholeheartedly recommending her.”
5. Alexandra M.
“Alex was absolutely wonderful with Cooper! She was amazing with communication and left the apartment spotless, definitely will be booking with Alex again!”
6. Nina B.
About: I have always loved all animals! I grew up in a house with multiple dogs (specifically goldendoodles, labs, and GSPs) and can’t imagine my day to day life without animal interaction! I have experience with all ages, puppies through senior dogs. Additionally, I have experience with cats (also grew up owning multiple cats)! I am extremely flexible with timing! I can be available early AM and late PM! Also available mid day for a lunch time visit/walk! Weekends are open as well :) I overall understand pets’ needs. With this being said, I am willing to take dogs on long walks (1hr +) or crate if owner preferred!
7. Reaghan M.
“Reaghan was a great pet sitter. Very attentive…sent lots of pictures. My joise was in order & pets looked happy when I got home. I will be using her again.”
8. Angelle S.
“Angelle house & hound sat for me for two nights. Knowing my pups are extremely shy with people, she spent the entire time "working with them". Despite themselves they started to warm up to and trust her. She was so sweet and respectful of my home. And her doggie report cards!! I almost did not want to do a review for fear she would get too many new bookings to want to sit my pups if needed! :))”
9. Sara M.
“Sara was absolutely incredible. She was communicative, prompt, knowledgeable, and put my mind at ease. My pup is an old girl with ailing health and a picky mind when it comes to food. Sara showed up in the creativity to hook my kid up. On top of that, my flight fell through to the next day- she was flexible, allowing me to focus on other matters. Bless. I will definitely be using Sara again in the future. HIGHLY recommend”
10. Lillian F.
About: Growing up with a dog always in my home, I love spending time with furry friends. I hope I can spend time with yours too! I am working a part-time job and finishing up 3 classes before I attend graduate school next year. This is a side gig but one I love! I will closely watch and monitor your dogs while outside and spend time with them playing. I love taking them for walks, can easily crate them, and have had experience with dogs that may misbehave.
11. Emily D.
“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
12. Anna F.
“Anna was great! She cared for our babies and our house as if they were her own. Everything was clean when we came home. We got pictures every day and she was very reliable. Highly recommend!”
13. Cassandra S.
“Super sweet and thoughtful kept me updated the entire time and gave my Siberian husky bear a great time even was kind enough to go above and beyond to do the dishes I didn’t have time to clean the night before I appreciate it so much. It’s hard to find a sitter for him because he does have a lot of energy and tends to pull hard on the leash. 10/10 recommend her and would love to have her back!!”
14. Julia H.
“Julia took excellent care of both our pup and our home! Our Frenchie has back issues and Julia was very sensitive to them, and comfortable caring for her despite them. We will definitely book with Julia again!”

About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Opening right now are mornings - 10 AM and 2PM -evenings. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.
16. Emily M.
“Emily did an amazing job! We didn’t have much time to find a place or person to watch our pets when we went on an impromptu trip, she came in and saved the day. Our pets (2 dogs and 1 cat) seemed to enjoy her company, she sent pictures daily. All around a great experience. Highly recommended!”
17. Lindsay S.
“Lindsay has always been great with animals no matter what type they are. I trust her with all of my pets and activities. She is caring with our dogs and cats.”
18. Tabitha F.
“So happy to have found Tabitha!! I’m always so hesitant to leave my pup since he has epilepsy and requires medication, but everything went smooth! I was worry-free on my vacation and will definitely be rebooking.”
19. Elizabeth A.
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our puppy and respectful of our home!”
20. Sissy A.
