“Sam was great! My husband and I had to take an emergency trip out of state and Sam was able to watch our pup at our home. He sent us pictures and videos while we were away and kept our house very tidy! Our dog is typically very anxious but he immediately warmed up to Sam. We will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Another great house sitting experience with Sara. Very responsive, sends updates and pictures throughout the day, and is great with the pups! We feel confident leaving our home and our furry loved ones in her care!”

“Chelsea took great care of our dog Bella. She was communicative, caring and sent us updates and pics which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Julie did a great job with my three dogs, who are a handful (90 pound reactive elderly Shepard, 80 pound willful Golden, and 11 pound Chihuahua mix who can be stubborn on walks). We worked together beforehand to talk about what would work best both for the dogs and for Julie so that she was set up for success. We did a few walks together and then she did a few on her own before our travel dates, which made me, and more importantly, the dogs, feel really comfortable with her. She was wonderful about giving updates including pictures, and overall communicated perfectly. She took great care of my dogs and seemed very confident about handling them. I am thrilled to have someone on hand who can take care of my pack when I am away. I highly recommend Julie for taking care of your pets. She also took care of my parent's elderly cat during the same time period and did a great job on that, too.”

“Jacqueline was just fabulous! Leaving a 12 and 13-year-old set of dogs that required medicine and gentle walking is always hard to do. In order to attend our son’s wedding without a worry we needed to feel confident in a dog sitter. Jacqueline provided that no worry feeling for us. Receiving pictures and regular updates throughout the three days was very comforting. I highly recommend Jacqueline and will use her again as needed.”

“Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!”

“Cam stayed in my house and cared for my lab-mix Onyx for 4 days. Onyx was comfortable and got her walks in, which enabled me to focus on my work trip. I’ll definitely be using Cam again.”

“Elizabeth was amazing! It was our first time using a house sitter; she put us at ease and Sadie loved her immediately. Elizabeth was professional and responsive. We would absolutely use her again!”

“Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!”

“Jennifer was a great dog sitter, who managed all three of our girls with ease. She kept us up to date with with how they were doing and sent many pictures. We arrived home to a clean house and happy pups.”

“Kelly is one of those very special people with a real passion for dogs! What a treat for our toy poodle to get to hang with her for the holiday weekend. We were totally comfortable traveling out of state knowing she was in charge. We look forward to engaging Kelly again for future travel plans. She is awesome.”

“Joiee did a great job watching our two dogs overnight in our home. We just moved to the area and it was stressful having to find a new dog sitter but was a big relief to find Joiee and know our dogs were well cared for. Thank you!”

“Carlos is the best! Highly communicative, professional, and experienced. He was an excellent cat sitter for our two fur babies while we were away on vacation, and he also took care of our new house. Carlos is trustworthy, followed the routine like he lives here, and administered meds to my senior cat. I’d choose Carlos again in a heartbeat!”


“Ellen was excellent in house sitting and taking care of Oakley. We came home to a very happy dog and Ellen had both taken great care of him but also our home. We would definitely recommend her and she may be the right pick if you have labs!”

About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications. Will stay at your home with your pets to help them be as comfortable as possible and stay on routine while their owners are away. Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I send updates and pictures so owners know their babies are enjoying their time too! I currently work part time as a veterinary technician, my shifts are between 5-7 hours Monday through Friday. Can do potty breaks during the longer shifts if needed. I stay in your house with your pets so they are comfortable in their own environment and follow their regular routine as much as possible. Plenty of time for exercise and play!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life along with taking care of friends and families pets. I understand and value taking good care of our furry friends! I take care of my own pets everyday. Walking, feeding, and of course playing doesn’t get missed in this house! I find it extremely important. I take care of all pets as if they were my own. I provide a fun, loving, and safe environment for all pets around me.
“Allyson was just fantastic!! She got along great with Darwin and even sent a photo to us. She was very considerate of us and sent back and forth messages often. She is also a terrific, very capable person. Anyone who uses Allyson will be very happy.”

“Ally was fantastic with our cat! She was always on time and provided updates throughout the day. She spent plenty of time with him all day and he really warmed up to her. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future and highly recommend!!”

About: I grew up with three dogs, have dog-sat for neighbors, and lived with a cat that I helped care for. I am very energetic and I have cared for puppies and both large and small dogs. I have a full time job with some flexibility, so I am free most evenings/nights and all of Saturday. My Sunday availability is in the morning to mid-day. I am happy to play with and entertain pets, and follow your instructions on feeding, walks, and house rules. I have had an anxious dog, so I want to make sure your pet is comfortable.
“Miriam took great care of our two pups during a weekend away! She is prompt, thorough, responsible, and detail-oriented. We had no concern whatsoever about the safety, well-being, or affectionate care provided to our girls, even given that they are both so young (3 months and 8 months) and one is still working on potty training. She is very responsive and understanding of our needs (and concerns as first-time puppy parents!) and communicated clearly and frequently, with lots of adorable picture updates. She clearly loves animals and that was the case with our (high-energy) Luna + Waffles. She also left our home spotless and went above and beyond what we expected!”

Carlos was an awesome house / pet sitter! He took great care of the cats- he sent pictures and videos from each visit, administered medication twice a day, brought in the mail, and even did some light cleaning around the litter boxes. I will definitely be booking him again soon!
