“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”
“Rose was amazing and she took excellent care of Oakley. She communicated with us during our entire trip and sent us pictures along the way. We will definitely be using Rose again!”
“Tom did a great job with Chidi! He can be tricky and he was very patient as Chidi reacclimated. He also shoveled our stairs and cleaned off our car after the snow which was nice to come home to.”
“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Josselyn! She watched our year and a half old husky while we were at work and kept us updated throughout the day. She was very attentive to his potty training needs, took him out often, and took him on a long walk to help get his energy out. She even brought him a special treat after checking with us about allergies, which we really appreciated. He was clearly well cared for, and she will definitely be our go-to sitter!”
“Christy recently dog sat at our home for a week for our 7 year old mini doodle and we could not recommend her highly enough! She was reliable, communicative, responsive, great at expectation setting and clearly someone who genuinely loves caring for and spending time with pets. We knew our dog was in great hands with her and getting lots of love and attention. She even came to our home an extra time before our trip, to make sure our dog got to know and trust her. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would enthusiastically rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Christy!”
“Sasha was responsible, communicative and enthusiastic, and Rosie and I liked her right away! I would give Sasha the highest of recommendations, and hope to have her take care of Rosie again.”
“Sydney took great care of our puppy and 2 cats while we were away for the long weekend. She listened to all of our instructions about the pets' quirks and sent wonderful updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks, Sydney!”
“OMG we went on vacation for three weeks and left our cat and our home in the care of Lilian, who was a rockstar. She took care of everything, followed all of our instructions and when we came home this time our cat was completely at ease. Usually when we return home from vacation, whether it's a week or longer and we have somebody stop in, we hear it from the cat for a good two weeks waking us up early in the morning rauling, but this time Bella just showed love and has been 100% normal. We would hire her again in our heartbeat. Best decision we ever made!”
“Erik is such a great communicator and super responsible. Our puppy just loved cuddling and playing with him and she’s already looking forward to our next night out so Erik can come back!”
“Susie was wonderful! She was communicative, on time, clean and most importantly treated our pup really well. We got photos of her daily where our pup was cuddled up next to Susie. It’s not hard to find a dog sitter, but it feels difficult to find one that will give your dog the love and attention they’re used to—Susie did just that. Highly recommend!”
“I'm resisting the urge to leave Michael a bad review so I could keep him all to myself ... but I won't do that because he is really fantastic with our dog and we feel very comfortable with him staying at our place”
“Pan had a fabulous time with James. James treated Pan with love and care as if he were his own pup. We received transparent and timely communication, he shared lots of great photos and even took Pan on some fun field trips during the week. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the go to for friends, neighbors, and family when they need help. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from high energy puppies to older dogs who need a slower, more gentle pace. I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and making sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also very consistent with routines like feeding, potty breaks, and any specific instructions you leave. I truly enjoy bonding with dogs and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I work a hybrid schedule, with only two in person days from 9 to 5 and one server shift on the weekend, so I still have a lot of flexibility to care for your dog. Outside of those times, I’m very available for walks, check ins, or extended care. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they’re getting consistent attention, not just quick visits. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I keep a clean, calm space and make sure everything is secure and pet safe. I’m very attentive on walks and aware of my surroundings at all times. I follow your instructions closely so your dog stays in a routine they’re familiar with. I also love sending updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“This was our first time leaving Ellie, our family dog, overnight since we adopted her about 10 months ago. Tristan was truly incredible with her--totally understood her from the start, adored her, and gave her all the love and walks she could want (and more). Ellie can be reactive towards other dogs while on leash but it truly is all bark. Tristan had no trouble navigating neighborhood walks, rewarding her good behavior, and gently refocusing her to him when needed. She zoomed so hard with him in the backyard it was like our 8 year old coonhound became a puppy again! Could not recommend a dog sitter more.”
“I cannot recommend Nate enough! He went absolutely above and beyond for Moreno and Blanca. He sent regular updates through texts and pictures. Not only did he take fantastic care of them, but he was also incredibly observant, he immediately reached out to let us know when they weren't eating properly and went out of his way to entice them with extra treats. You can tell he is genuinely concerned about their well being, and both dogs absolutely loved him. On top of being an amazing dog sitter, he was incredibly thoughtful and respectful of our home. He brought all our packages inside, took out the trash, started the dishwasher, and even stripped his bedsheets before leaving. It is so rare to find someone this reliable, communicative, and caring. Five stars!”
“Our family was away for 10 days and Jess took fantastic care of our dog Penny. Penny is a bit standoffish but she cuddled right up to Jess. She took Penny on walks, played with her in the backyard and took her to the park. Would highly recommend.”
“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”

Sarah took wonderful care of our 9-year-old Sheltie for three nights. He isn't the easiest dog to care for—he's on a special diet, takes several medications and supplements, and has arthritis, which makes stairs and long walks difficult. Sarah handled all of his needs with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. To make things even more challenging, our dog can be a bit standoffish with new people. Sarah was incredibly sweet and patient with him, and before long she had completely won him over. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She texted us with photos and comments on what they were doing each day. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to trust Sarah with him again and in fact have rebooked another house sitting with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter.
Christy recently dog sat at our home for a week for our 7 year old mini doodle and we could not recommend her highly enough! She was reliable, communicative, responsive, great at expectation setting and clearly someone who genuinely loves caring for and spending time with pets. We knew our dog was in great hands with her and getting lots of love and attention. She even came to our home an extra time before our trip, to make sure our dog got to know and trust her. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would enthusiastically rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Christy!
Jess took such good care of our little Toby that we didn’t have to worry at all during our week long vacation. She even shoveled when it snowed, without our asking — and took Toby on a field trip to Petsmart to try on harnesses. Jess feels more like a dog nanny than a dog babysitter. Can’t thank her enough!
Our 10 yr old mini labradoodle Sam took an instant shine to Zoe and at his age he sometimes can’t be bothered! 😁 Zoe was very communicative and sent us multiple pictures even though she only stayed with him a short time. Would highly recommend her and will definitely look to use her the next time we need someone to house sit Sam
Alexi is amazing! She is very kind and my dog Maddie was enchanted the first time they met! Alexi took care of my Coton Maddie for four days in my home. I felt so calm when I was away from the messages Alexi was sending to me! She came early before I left and stayed until the minute I got home. She has so much experience and has her own little dog Tuffy. I was so fortunate that she was available after graduating from College! I cannot express how thoughtful and calm she is with my dog and how well Maddie was taken care of! Joanne
Katherine is amazing, she gave me daily updates about Tina’s activities while I was away. Tina had just gotten surgery a week before and she took great care of her giving her pain meds and following all the instructions. I feel blessed Tina was able to spend time with a pet lover that was attentive to detail.
She was the best !! Very responsive, professional, clean, and most importantly took the best care of our girl Uma. She stayed 4 days at our place while we were on vacation, walked Uma a ton, gave her her meals and meds on time, and kept us updated with great photos and videos. Thanks so much Caroline!
