“Lauren was extremely responsive, helped walk me through the process as a newbie to the app, and asked great question to prepare for her visit that made me feel confident my cat was in good hands. She sent great photos and was communicative during her stay. Would definitely recommend and would love to work with Lauren again in the future!”
“We hired Iluliia for our senior dog and our daughter’s high energy dog for a four day trip. The dogs each have different personalities and needs, which Iluliia handled with ease. She followed my daughter’s specific nutrition routine for her dog, which involved raw food and supplements. Iluliia understood our senior dogs needs for reassurance and extra attention. Iluliia provided excellent communication and a number of photos and videos. Our home was spotless upon return and she surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flowers! We will definitely hire her again for our next trip!”
“Penny was very easy to work with and my dog was very relaxed around her. She had no problem doing anything I asked was very sensitive to my dog’s needs.”
“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Cristina is awesome! She took Calvin out and threw his ball for him, snuggled in bed in the morning, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates! Have Cristina watch your dog, you won't be sorry!”
“Kristen was wonderful! Took great care of my pup and was very communicative. When she noticed he was a little sad asked if her kids could come over and play with him to raise his spirits - I appreciated her attention to how my dog was doing and also making sure it was okay for her family to visit first.”
“Vex was wonderful! So friendly, and my Minnie seemed to love her! She sent me occasional pics and videos of my girl, and when I came home my house was just as I left it. Would definitely book again 😁”
“Lacie did a really nice job with our two girls. Lacie took the time to make a connection with them before we left and both dogs really liked her. She kept us updated on both girls each day. One of our dogs was injured just before we left and required a little extra TLC and medication while we were gone. Lacie took such great care of her with her restrictions. We will definitely hire Lacie again.”
“Taylor was fantastic! She did a great job checking in with me and letting me know how things were going. My dog gets pretty sad when I’m gone but she did everything she could to make sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. Also my house was so clean when I got home, she’s definitely a great sitter to consider watching your dog.”
“Joel did a fantastic job with my three-year-old lab Maple while I was away for a long weekend. He sent a message to let me know he arrived at the house without issues, and then sent the cutest pics of Maple throughout the stay. My dog was very chill when I got home - I know she was happy to see me, but it was clear Joel made her feel comfortable.”
“Paige was great! We came home to a very happy kitty, and she was excellent about communication and sending photos/updates throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah did a great job staying at our house and taking care of our dog while we were away for the holiday. It can be hard to be away, and we really appreciated knowing Isabella was well cared for. Sarah was responsive to any updates or requests, was very communicative, and shared helpful updates throughout. She took Isa on outings and walks, and adjusted her care when Isa’s stomach got upset. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We hope to have Sarah stay with Isa again in the future!”
“Bonnie is fantastic and went above and beyond while she was watching our dog Runa. We got updates throughout their time together and she even brushed Runa after their busy day. If you are looking for someone in the neighborhood to watch your four-legged friend, you can trust Bonnie for exceptional care of your precious pet. We won't hesitate to book with her again! Thanks.”
“Lilah was a gem! We needed housesitting care a bit last minute due to a cancellation and she was willing to jump in with no problem. She was punctual, sent pictures of the dogs to let me know they were doing well, and communicated with me throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her and book her again to watch my pups!”
“Jerry is the best. I had a last minute medical emergency and he accepted and showed up within an hour. Romeo loved him. Jerry went above and beyond in his care. I would use him again in a heart beat. He is completely trustworthy and really cares about his job. If I could give more stars I would. Don't hesitate to book him. He's a keeper.”
“Sophia is amazing!! When Sophia watched our dog, Winnie, we got nightly updates with humor and multiple photos &/or videos. We looked forward to the updates each night. We could tell Winnie felt comfortable with Sophia, too. We'll definitely use Sophia in the future.”
“Rachel is wonderful! She was attentive to our Labs’ needs and kept them happy and active. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog, who can be challenging, and even shoveled snow for us while we were away! Our house was pristine when we returned and she updated us every day. 5/5 stars!”
“I cannot recommend Marykay highly enough! Once again, she has gone above and beyond while watching our little dog, River, during our recent trip. Not only did she keep him incredibly happy and well-cared for, but she also managed to keep our house impeccably tidy. Her dedication and care are truly amazing. Thank you, Marykay, for being so wonderful!”

Sergio did a wonderful job with Milli and sent pics of her every day. We could tell that Milli really liked him from the time he did a meet and greet before we selected him for the job. Sergio left the house in very neat condition. Milli is an older dog in great shape and would not have done well in a boarding environment. Milli is very used to her daily walks through her neighborhood and Sergio made sure that Milli took him for those walks. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sergio to anyone who wants to have their beloved pet remain in their home in familiar surroundings when they are away for an extended time.
They were awesome taking care of our 3 large dogs all with varying needs. Everything seemed to go really well, they sent a lot of pictures and updates. We very much appreciated having them watch our dogs. Will recommend and would use them again. Thank you again so much
We booked Lauren for an overnight stay with our dog, Hugo, and had an excellent experience. From the start, communication was clear and timely, and she checked in with updates and photos so we always knew how things were going. Our dog Hugo can be a bit much- [shy/anxious/high‑energy], but Lauren was patient, attentive, and followed all of our care instructions, including feeding and meds. The house was left clean and tidy, and we came home to a relaxed, happy Hugo who clearly felt comfortable and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind to know Hugo could stay in his own routine at home with someone so trustworthy. We would absolutely book Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight dogsitter.
Jackie was amazing! She exceeded expectations and helped me be able to feel a lot more comfortable during my 15 day trip away from my 2 dogs. I have a Husky and a Samoyed that have been boarded before but I wanted them to have more one on one attention. Jackie took them on walks, played with them, let them sleep with her and even cleaned their feet when one of them kept playing in the mud. She also took care of my home. She reached out if she had any questions, but for the most part she was pretty self sufficient. She sent some photos and videos. At the end of the dog/housesitting booking she made sure all of the dishes were cleaned, set aside the dirty laundry, took out the trash and even stayed a bit later to try and minimize the time that my dogs were alone before my flight arrived. I highly recommend Jackie!you won’t be disappointed.
Mauren is a fantastic dog sitter. Our Bella immediately connected with Mauren. It was also immediately apparent to me and my wife how much Mauren cares for the pets she watches over. Mauren is very professional and responds to messages right away. We loved the pictures she would send of Bella. Mauren made us feel at ease right away with taking care of Bella and looking after the house while we were gone. We will definitely be calling Mauren for our future dog-sitting needs!
Mercy was an amazing dog sitter! She is very professional, a good communicator, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. My dog can be anxious and moody, but immediately took to Mercy. Mercy was very calm and gentle when she met Charlie and I immediately knew he'd be in good hands. Mercy consistently sent updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Charlie loved his time with Mercy and I would absolutely recommend Mercy as a dog sitter!!!
