“Tommy was a fantastic sitter for Pearl while I was away! They were very responsive to my texts and I got plenty of updates throughout my trip. Pearl got ton of attention and cuddles and Tommy was very neat and kept the house tidy. I’ll definitely have Tommy care for Pearl again in the future!”


5. Maybelline C.

“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dogs, Lexi and Boo, in the care of Maybelline, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Maybelline was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing the dogs were in great hands. When we returned, Lexi and Boo were happy, healthy, and had clearly enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Maybelline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again for future trips!"”


6. Noelle B.


“Noelle stayed with our cat Benny for 2 nights while we were away. She was wonderful! Kind, communicative, and patient with our shy but needy cat. We would definitely book her again.”


7. Tom Y.

“Tom! What a guy. We couldn't be happier with the service our dog sitter provided! Not only did he keep our place spotless, but he also made sure to ask questions to ensure everything was done correctly. He sent us adorable pictures of our dogs on their walks, which was a lovely touch and kept us updated on their well-being. His attention to detail and professionalism are truly commendable, and it's clear he takes his job seriously. We are incredibly appreciative of his care and dedication. We would absolutely hire him again without hesitation! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups and home, Tom!”


8. Luis R.

“Luis is honestly one of the best caregivers I've found for my elderly dog. He is patient and kind, and I have absolute confidence that my old girl is in excellent hands when I need to leave her. I rebooked Luis within days of his last stay. I recommend him without reservation!”


9. Noor F.

“I contacted Noor the evening before I was leaving the country for a 10-day trip when the cat sitter I had booked months in advance had a last minute emergency and let me know she couldn't make it. I was frantic. Noor responded and was very reassuring, flexible and accommodating to the last-minute nature of my request. In addition, my cat Max is very sweet and well-behaved but is challenging because he spends most of his time outdoors and one never knows when he is around to let him back in. Noor paid attention to his comings and goings and kept me well-informed so that I didn't worry that he'd be out in the rain or out without food. She sent me photos and videos and most importantly to me, she really bonded with him so that I felt entirely able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She's a gem and I wouldn't think twice about asking her to come back.”


10. Kay O.

“Kay took wonderful care of our yellow lab at our home while we were on vacation. She was easy to coordinate with in advance and provided lots of good updates throughout our trip. We feel lucky to have found her and would definitely use her services again!”


11. Samantha R.

“Samantha is wonderful! My dog loved spending time with her. Sam provided lots of walks, pics and regular updates. She is very responsive, sweet, and a caring dog sitter. I highly recommend Sam.”


12. Aymbre P.

“Aymbre was wonderful with Izzy: she kept a very high energy (and demanding) pup entertained. She kept in touch through the time she was sitting Izzy and I came home to one very happy (and tired!) GSD.”


13. Irichiya H.

“Irie is the best! She takes such good care of the dog, cat and house. We love her and highly trust her. She is wonderful at communicating too.”


14. James H.
“James H. Is the kindest person and very reliable. My dog Duke just loved him. I have many pics of James laying on the floor letting Duke lick his face off. He is a natural with animals. Animals know who the good people are. I would recommend James to all who want their pet to feel loved when they are away from them.”


15. Alyx P.

“Alyx, was a great choice for us. She fell in love with my pup immediately which gave me the extra sense of comfort that she would be treated as her own in our absence. Alyx sent plenty of pictures and messages daily which meant a lot to me. She also was helpful in bringing in our mail and even putting a few groceries away for me that I had delivered so we would have food when we returned from our trip! We would definitely hire her again!”


16. Hannah B.

“Hannah did a great job watching our dogs for us. She stayed in the house with them during the day and gave them lots of attention and exercise. We did not have any issues and will be reaching out to her in the future.”


17. Isabel B.

“Isabel did a great job watching our dog Winnie for us. She even taught her some new tricks! 100% would recommend.”


18. Jade Z.
“I can’t recommend Jade enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! I’ve known Jade for years, and one thing that’s always stood out is her natural ability to connect with animals. Jade has a way of making every pet feel loved and secure. She is also incredibly responsible and attentive. I’ve seen her handle pets of all sizes and temperaments with ease, always ensuring they’re safe and happy. As an owner of two chihuahuas, a german shepherd, and a pitbull, I can confidently say Jade is the type of person I would trust completely to take care of them. You’ll know your pets are in great hands, and that they’ll be treated like family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable, Jade is definitely the person to choose!”


19. Brianna W.

“Bri made my dogs feel comfortable right away. By the end of their first meeting they were best buds!”


20. Jovani S.

“Jovani took wonderful care of my dog and cat! My pets clearly loved her and even my cat who is afraid of everyone was excited to see her. She is communicative, reliable and friendly. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
