“Nicole went absolutely above and beyond! She took the time to do a meet and greet to make sure my cats were comfortable with her and she was able to successfully administer meds. Very thankful to have found a reliable and caring sitter - would highly recommend!”
“Xena loved her time with Andres. I was regularly updated with pictures and always felt like Xena was well cared for. I came home to a happy pup all thanks to Andres. Highly recommend.”
“Fiona was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my dog and catered to his needs and schedule. She was very responsive, easy to work with, and left the apartment tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Allison is hands down the best pet sitter! We had her stay in our home over a long weekend with our two senior pups. She provided excellent communication and photos to keep us at ease while we were on vacation. The power went out in our home and she asked if it was okay if she took the pups to her place which had power. Of course we said yes, anything for her and our pups comfort. She is highly recommended and put this protective dog mom at ease. Thank you Allison for being so wonderful. Rizzo and Oscar appreciated your company and we appreciated your professionalism. ”
“Gabriela is great. Sent me pictures, followed all the instructions, very punctual and responsible. I have no complaints and would definitely ask her to take care of Babushka again if I am in need of dog sitter.”
“Jade is the best! Whenever I have to travel, I immediately see if she’s available to watch my pup. He adores her and she’s great with him. I’ve recommended her to almost everyone who asks me about a good dog sitter.”
“Angela was amazing with George and was able to help us out when we came to town for the night. She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind and timely. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Faith did a fantastic job! She was quick to respond, sent us lots of photos of our dogs while we were away, and handled some issues with frozen pipes while we were out of state. We would absolutely use her again in the future!”

“We have used Jessica multiple times including an overnight in our home. She is professional, trustworthy, takes wonderful care of our Coco, and is a great communicator with wonderful updates while we are away.”
“Kelso house-and-dogsat for our 3 hounds for 4 nights and was a pleasure to work with. We got updates and photos, and we didn’t have to worry about things at all, which is exactly what we wanted! Will use them again.”
“Such a sweet and amazing sitter! Super communicative, caring, and made me feel completely at ease the whole time. My dogs were so happy and well taken care of. Would absolutely book again!”
“It is never easy to leave your little zoo in the hands of someone else because how can you really know. Well, with Sarah you can feel confident they are in good hands. I was gone two weeks - TWO. Sarah took care of my demanding Malinois, Marlowe, who loves play and has a big personality. She also juggled that with my old cat, Tallulah, who loves to cuddles and have things done her way while leaving piles of her hair everywhere. Sarah stayed at my house which means she also took care of my house. Sarah was always responsive and sent pictures and answered my many texts checking in and asking favors. She is once again pet sitting as I write this - it great to have someone to call.”
“Chauntrell was great sitting my dog and cat over a week long trip. He sent multiple pictures every day and was very detailed. He even checked on routine and if certain behaviors were expected from the pets. My dog was sad to see him go!”
“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”
“I would absolutely recommend Gwen to anybody that needs pet care!!! She was super nice, very responsive, and followed all the instructions I left for my dog’s care. My dog warmed up to Gwen instantly and I loved seeing pictures of the two of them playing/ cuddling. I will definitely be booking her again!!!!”
“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”

Juliet is an amazing person. My pup Kona was so happy to have someone that actually plays with him. Kona is 4 and still loves playing all day. Juliet stayed over night for 4 days and Kona didn’t want her to leave. My house was very clean when I got home. I was very happy to have Juliet sit in my home for Kona. 🤗🐶
I am so glad we found Marisa to watch our 19 year old kitty while we were away for a few days. My cat had never been watched by anyone outside the family, and with his age and medical needs I was nervous about leaving him alone. Upon arriving Marisa sent me a video of him crawling into her lap to cuddle, and I immediately felt so much better! Marisa took excellent care of my boy, made sure he got his medication on time, made sure he was well fed, and provided him with great company. I also really appreciate all the updates Marisa gave us throughout her stay, and that she checked in with us about his separation anxiety. After a long few days of travel we came home to a happy, healthy cat, and a clean apartment. Thank you again, Marisa!
Wamuyu is such a kind, gentle person who cared for our two kitties while we were away. She is very communicative, we had complete peace of mind while on vacation. Even when our kitties were shy or upset about taking their meds, Wamuyu was persistent and patient and always completed their care. We would recommend her highly!
Here’s a warm, natural review you can post: Alex was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home while watching our dog and took amazing care of everything. She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and our dog was happy and well cared for when we got home. She also left our house incredibly clean—it honestly looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. It was such a relief to come home to a spotless house and a happy pup. We would absolutely book Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter!
Anastasiia took such wonderful care of my dog Biscuit! Biscuit is a happy but anxious mini-labradoodle and Anastasiia followed all the instructions, gave such detailed updates and lots of pictures, and left my apartment spotless! Highly recommend Anastasiia to care for your pets, she is the best.
Kexin was absolutely wonderful with Waffles! From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing Waffles was in such great hands. Kexin was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and truly treated Waffles like family. Waffles came home happy, healthy, and completely relaxed. I highly recommend Kexin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking again!
Ahriel was communicative, kind, and took great care of my 3 animals on short notice - including a large senior dog and a toothless cat! She asked thorough questions when interviewing her which was reassuring. Since the stay was short notice, she was unable to meet the animals before hand or get a lay of the land (confusing apartment building), but did an incredible job with everything no less. Would recommend her and will hopefully get to use her in the future!
Agata and Calvin were awesome, super accommodating and flexible when we ran into some unexpected surprises before and during our trip. Our dogs Goose and Nala can be a handful on walks, but they still made sure to tire them out every day, even when the weather was kinda crummy. Really appreciated that, and I’m sure Goose and Nala did too! Highly recommend and would definitely book with them again!
Nicole is a SUPERSTAR sitter. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She took such good care of my cat Nora and calmed my anxiety with frequent updates and pictures! I felt so relieved knowing she was at my home with Nora and I could relax on my vacation. I have already booked Nicole again for a future trip, and I highly recommend using her as a sitter for all your pet needs!
This was my first time booking with Mairead so I was a little nervous, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She took the time to do a meet & greet and made an effort to learn my pup’s routine beforehand. She consistently kept me updated while I was away. I never had to wonder how my pup was doing because she was very proactive with communication. She also went above and beyond with his meals, knowing he doesn’t usually like to eat when I’m away and made great effort to ensure he was comfortable and eating. I also came home to my place exactly as I left it. I highly recommend Mairead to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
We are always happy to have Samantha take care of our boy Zuko. She always sends timely updates, leaves our place clean and in order, and is so patient with our anxious boy. After this last trip, our front doorman made a point to tell us how polite and kind she was, and that she was doing really well with our dog. It always feels great to get that extra reassurance from someone we know! We would love to book with Samantha again.
