“Tommy was so great with our Dorothy!! Dorothy was well taken care of and we received frequent updates including pictures. Will definitely use Tommy again in the future”


“Jovani was so helpful to us. She was available and flexible. She was respectful and engaging. We appreciated her confidence to feel secure with our dogs from the beginning and they were very comfortable with her. Having her stay in our home provided excellent care for our dogs and managing their meds and needs. We will schedule her again soon!”


“Nile was wonderful! He was super easy to communicate with before and during our trip, took fantastic care of Frances, and left the apartment spotless. And, of course, he sent great photos. Well definitely ask him to watch Frances again!”

“Aymbre is a good communicator and made sure to check in when something seemed off with Monki, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was paying attention to how he was feeling. Overall, I felt Monki was in good hands and well cared for. Thanks again!”


“Irie is phenomenal! It’s only our second time with house sitting and she just put us completely at ease from the get go. We always got regular updates and we really appreciated how she really seemed to bond with Gatsby. She left the absolute sweetest note too! We could not be happier with her incredible care of our pup and our home. Could not recommend more highly!”


“Tahir was excellent! Really made me feel at ease after a hard move and then having to leave my cat for a short trip. He shared regular updates, took care to include important details about my cat’s health concerns, left my house spotless, and somehow managed to get the shy guy to come out and play. It was the best, easiest experience I’ve had in years. I will definitely book catsitting with Tahir again.”


“Darlene took great care of our dog and home! She easily accommodated changes in our travel schedule that popped up during the sit, and left everything in great shape. Thanks Darlene!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been taking care of my friends and families dogs the past 5 years. I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I am a full time social worker with a hybrid role which means I’m home a lot during the week even when I’m working. I always have weekends off and am available to take care of pets pretty much every weekend. I offer at home services and can easily stop by multiple times a day to provide food, walks, and all the pets necessary to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. Also open to house sit if 24/7 care is needed.

“Our Penny girl loved Carly and warmed up to her really quickly! Carly took our last minute housesitting request and was very patient with Penny while she got used to her. Carly took great care of our house and kept Penny on schedule in her surroundings which is exactly what we wanted during our time away. Looking forward to working with Carly again in the future! Thanks!”


“Alyssa was absolutely fantastic with our puppy and our two cats. This was the first time leaving our five month old puppy, so I had a lot of nerves around leaving her. Alyssa was very reassuring and communicated with me several times throughout the day, sending lots of pictures and giving me updates on how everyone was doing. I felt very confident that my girls were all in good hands! I feel very lucky that we found Alyssa and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a great pet sitter!”


“Tori was a great communicator while she housesat and dogsat for us over a weekend. She sent lots of little notes and photos which were appreciated and clearly was very attentive to our older dog who can be a little particular! Highly recommend.”
