“Ivana could not come more highly recommended! She has a natural rapport with Rio and clearly knows what she’s doing. She’s kind and gentle and a wonderful person to have in our home!”

“We cannot recommend Sophia enough! She’s one of the best of the best. Our dog absolutely loved her and we could not have come home to a more happy pup. She was also great about communication and staying in touch. We would not hesitate to use her services again.”

“Alisa, I can’t thank you enough for the loving care you gave Georgette while I was away. I was delighted to receive the photo updates along with texts letting me know what was happening. It was fun to show the great pictures you took of Georgette to my friends that I was visiting. Actually I will always treasure the exceptional photos. Knowing that she was so well cared for allowed me to really relax and not worry about her. You are an amazing sitter and I would highly recommend your services to anyone!”

“John is great! He looked after my dog and a foster dog over Christmas (and helped the foster get picked up by her adopter). He dealt with the sometimes fussy dogs in the extreme cold and kept them fed, walked and happy. Also my apartment was in the same condition as I left it. Thank you John!!”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog, Chili! Chili had an unexpected medical emergency while with Elizabeth and she handled it perfectly and was so great at communicating with me. Would absolutely book with her again”

“Emily was so great with my small dog. She was responsive and considerate (wiping down paws, asking questions, being punctual) as well as super friendly and, of course, great with my dog. Thanks, Emily!”

“Sophie was an excellent housesitter and kind caretaker of Sabzi during my long weekend away. They were very communicative, respectful of our space, and thorough throughout the process. Sophie and Sabzi clicked splendidly—I could tell Sabz had the best time with plenty of play and cuddles. Looking forward to booking Sophie again!!”

“Juliona was responsive, kind and professional during her stay with our new cat. She seemed to follow our care instructions to the the T and we came home to a very clean house and a very happy kitty. We would definitely recommend and book with Juliona again!”

“Katy was prompt with responding to our initial inquiry for house sitting, she met up with our pup same day and I felt so confident having her stay with him. During the house sit she sent us lots of photos and updates. I’m so happy with our experience with Katy and will definitely be booking her again.”

“We’ve used Alex a couple times for dog and cat sitting and she’s great! She sends updates and pictures to keep us informed and somehow takes the funniest pictures of our girls!”


“Josefa was AMAZING! She took wonderful care of my two dogs, and took the puppy to a great dog park to get out her energy. I received tons of pictures and they seemed so happy to be with her. My apartment was super clean when I came back after my trip, and the dogs were so well taken care of! Clearly so happy. Would definitely book her again!”
“Sabrina was incredibly thorough and loving with our puppy while we traveled for the weekend. Our pup wasn’t feeling her best and Sabrina was extremely helpful and thoughtful while we changed her food and helped her stomach settle. We can’t wait to have her back!”

“Lauren was amazing with Milo! He just moved to the city and is still pretty nervous to go on walks, but she took extra time to sit with him and make him comfortable before taking him out. She was attentive to Milo’s needs, responsive to my texts, and sent frequent updates and pictures. I would absolutely hire Lauren in a heartbeat to take care of Milo again. Highly recommend!!”

“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!”

“Teddy was awesome - we got phenomenal daily recaps and frequent communication. We felt super comfortable with Teddy and our pets (including a very unfriendly cat) were thrilled!”

“Zack was very attentive all day with the puppy and stayed in contact all day. He was very responsive while setting up the appointment and was timely. Highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again soon!”

“Sarah was so sweet to our pup! She was super helpful and even brought our dog to her place to keep him company. She was punctual and followed all the directions and tips we gave. We came back from the trip and he was happy and healthy!”

“Biscuit absolutely LOVED her time with Emma!! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby in her hands given her background as a vet tech and overall kind, friendly personality. If you are ever looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Emma!”
