“Caroline is an outstanding sitter—professional, reliable and kind. She took careful care of our Max and showered him with affection. We received timely photos and video — evidence of what we saw when they met: Max loved Caroline. We absolutely will work with Caroline again!”
“Lenin is very professional, followed instructions to a tee, and let us enjoy our vacation in peace knowing our animals were being loved and cared for. Would definitely recommend and will be using again.”
“When my usual pet/house sitter needed to cancel less than one week before an international trip, Mahlet saved the day and put my mind at ease. She was very responsive throughout, shared lots of pictures and videos. My cat Bibi can be very standoffish, but she warmed to Mahlet quickly and I'm sure she had the best time in her care.”
“Everything was great. Followed our pets schedule and provided plenty of love. The house was very clean when we returned so that was a huge bonus. Will definitely use again in the future”
“Schirn was a great house sitter! She gave me pup dates along the way and was easy to communicate with. She left the house spotless and my pup was in good spirits when I came home. Would book again!”
“Caroline took such great care of my senior pup! She sent frequent updates and took her on great walks. She was super attentive to my dogs needs and made sure she was happy while I was out of town, would 10/10 book again!”
“George (Adrian) came as a recommendation from another sitter I’ve worked with in the past and I’m so happy she thought to share his profile. Adrian watched my 3 pets (dog and 2 cats) for a week while I was out of the country. He commuted well throughout the whole trip, which helped to put my mind at ease enough for me to enjoy my time away. I even got a text from my neighbor singing his praises after she saw him on a few walks with my dog. On the day of my return, he made a point of checking my flight status to ensure I’d landed before “signing off” and I came back to a very clean home and content pets. Will definitely be working with Adrian again.”
“Justine made sure my kitty was safe and cared for. She did a pre-meet and was timely to the appointment. Even though I didn't have any communication methods during my time away she sent msgs letting me know she had arrived and left and status pictures. The one time I had cell service she was quick to reply and let me know all was well.”
“Stephanie house sat and took care of my cat for a week while I was on vacation. I was really worried about leaving him for so long, but Stephanie did an amazing job and I came home to a very happy cat! She's great at following instructions and giving regular updates. She also left my home nice and tidy which I really appreciated! Thanks, Stephanie!”
“Celeste did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs while I was away. She followed all instructions and kept me updated throughout. I came home to a clean apartment and happy pups. It’s clear she went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Leslie is very thorough, communicative, and caring with my elderly pug. She asks loads of questions so she can give him top notch care and always sent photos throughout her stay with him, which eased my mind a lot.”
About: With over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog back home (he gives the best hugs!) and several months as a professional walker and sitter, I offer attentive and reliable pet care. I'm committed to creating a safe and happy environment for your friend while providing you with regular updates and peace of mind. In addition to dogs, I've also looked after cats and birds. Growing up with pets has equipped me to handle just about any situation. I enjoy playing games with them or simply cuddling up and having a night in :) I am available to care for your pet due to my very flexible schedule. I'm energetic and happy to do long walks. I can also provide pet sitting services at night or on weekends. I'm a quick learner and can adapt to a dog's needs as needed! Patience is key!! Taking the time to understand their needs is really important. I prioritize pet safety by creating secure environments and being prepared for emergencies, build trust through clear communication and routines, and nurture pets by providing personalized care, socialization, and comfortable spaces. I love engaging pets with fun activities or relaxing together on a night in :) If you’re hesitant to try here’s my referral code AHLAL74092 which can give you a discount on your first booking!
“Ariel was great with Eli. He’s recovering from surgery and she took great care of him, gave him his meds, had him in the cone, and followed all of our detailed instructions. She was sweet and warm with him and he was happy and relaxed when we came home. Ariel was also easy to communicate with and lovely overall. Would not hesitate to ask her to dogsit again.”
“This is the second time Jackie has watched Winnie and she really helped me out in a pinch. She is very responsive and accommodating and I came home to a very happy dog. Definitely will be re-booking soon!”
“Brittany is an incredible caretaker for Wilson. She was super communicative, proactively setting up a group chat with my husband and me so we could stay in the loop while we were away for the weekend. She left our apartment spotless and neat :) Wilson loves her and so do we!”
“Patrice was lovely and very communicative during her time with Teddy. She took great care of him, following all my instructions, which gave me peace of mind while being out of the country.”
“Manny is the best! Zorro loves hanging out with him. And he was really helpful and flexible when our housekeeper stopped by at the same time Manny was over. He also took the most beautiful picture of Zorro that is frame-worthy.”
“Shirley was an amazing dog sitter for our 10 month old goldendoodle. It’s been difficult to find the right sitter that understands her puppy energy and follows the outside play time schedule we have set, but Shirley went above and beyond. She sent us countless pictures and videos of our Kaiya playing at the park multiple times a day. She followed our training commands, sitting at crosswalks and before leaving the house. She gave us tips on how to help Kaiya finish her food and even finished administering some medicine. She left our house spotless which is always such a professional touch. We trust her so much we have already asked her back for our next out of town trip. Shirley is clearly an expert, kind, and attentive. Thank you for everything.”

Katie was absolutely amazing. She treated our animals with so much love and compassion, stepping in after another sitter abandoned them and left our house a complete mess. Without hesitation, she not only cared for the animals but also cleaned up the disaster left behind—figuratively and literally. She went above and beyond, keeping us updated every chance she could with updated as well as pictures of not just the animals, but her and the animals playing with one another. Her constant communication gave us complete peace of mind while we were away on vacation. I couldn’t recommend Katie enough for your next sit. She truly saved the day for us and showed what real dedication and compassion look like. Would give her 6/5 stars if I could!
Caroline is the most amazing pet sitter I’ve ever had, and I’ve had cats (and pet sitters) my entire life. She treated my baby like he was her own from the very beginning. I got tons of photos of her snuggling him, which allowed me to have an stress-free vacation! She was incredibly communicative, sweet, and professional. I will be booking her every single time I need a pet sitter from now on. Seriously - Caroline is amazing. I can’t recommend her enough. I’m so grateful to her!
Ana and Lucy were INCREDIBLE with our two kitties. They were responsive at every turn, so kind to us and our cats, sent photos regularly, and left our house absolutely spotless. We returned to both of our cats looking and acting so loved, and so well taken care of. We could not recommend booking with them more, and if we ever have to leave town for a long-term trip, we will definitely be rebooking!
Katia took great care of my pup while I was on a two week trip. She sent photos and kept me updated throughout, and I felt like I could relax during my time away while she was watching her. She was responsible and super respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
This was our second time booking with Justine and we’re just as happy as the first time around! It was such a relief knowing she was taking care of our pups while we were away. She is very communicative and kind, and took excellent care of them. The house was clean and tidy when we came home too
