1. Michael M.
“Michael was prompt and responsive and took great care of Mindy, adjusting to her needs. There were a couple unexpected surprises along the way - one major one which we also did not expect while away - and that was gardeners in the back yard…which Mindy wasn’t very happy with - but Michael swooped in and dealt with it as well as he could, and remained professional. From the pictures, Mindy seemed to enjoy their time together. We would invite Michael back again!”
2. Michelle A.
“Michelle took great care of both our dogs and stayed in contact with us.”
3. Ayme Z.
“As always, Ayme was great with Phoebe. She followed my specific directions both evenings. She even took Phoebe to the dog park to play with other puppies. She's really awesome! ”
4. Phoebe Y.
“Phoebe was incredible with our timid dog, who warmed up to her right away. She has been consistently timely and reliable. Highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
5. Ihana B.
“Ihana has done drop in visits for me and each time she was very responsive and followed instructions perfectly. She sent updates and took good care of my older boy!”
6. Colleen G.
“Colleen was great with our pups for a drop-in/walk. She was communicative, timely, sent photos and my pups were both happy and taken care of!”
7. Alison S.
“Alison showed love for our cats, and our cats loved her-- even the flighty one who usually hides from strangers was investigating Alison at the very first visit, and eating from her hand and accepting pets after just a few days. Alison was communicative and adaptable throughout the visits, taking in stride meal adjustments and our sometimes-messy old cat. And she takes top quality pet photos!”
8. Anne C.
“Anne has watched my two Labradors three times now, and every experience has been outstanding! One of my pups requires multiple medications, and the other has high anxiety, but Anne consistently handles their needs with care and expertise. She is incredibly responsive, providing regular updates and pictures that always make me smile. Having Anne stay at my house is always stress-free—she is trustworthy, respectful, and left everything in perfect condition. I can’t recommend Anne enough for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
9. Rebecca S.
“Rebecca is such an awesome cat sitter! Not only does she make sure my cat is well taken care of, she’s also very personable and easy to communicate with. Would certainly book her again to care for my baby boy when the occasion arises!”
10. Lorin G.
“Lorin was amazing! She took care of my cat while I was away and did such a great job. She sent plenty of photos and updates on how he was doing and kept his home clean! I will definitely be booking again with Lorin!”
11. Norman C.
“Norman had tremendous patience and the upmost care for our 2 dogs. We have one dog that’s a little fearful of people but she just loved Norman and that brought us such ease and comfort knowing they were in good hands. We loved seeing pictures of our dogs while he was taking care of them. We will definitely ask for Norman again if we need pet care in the future!”
12. Sierra B.
“Sierra house sat for us and was respectful to our house, kept my plants alive (maybe better than I can), and most imporantly took great care of our cats. She was in very good communication with us if our cats needed anything and I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching our house and pets. We will contact her first if we ever need house sitting/pet watching again”
13. Quincy L.
“Couldn't have found a better person to watch my herd! I didn't have to worry while I was gone at all because she took such amazing care of them. She provides a great summary for each visit and I loved seeing all the pictures of my crew each time. She exceeded all expectations.”

“Simmu was great and took awesome care of Winston!”

16. Elisabeth B.
“I highly recommend Elisabeth for any pet care needs! She is committed to providing the best care to the pets she looks after. Her compassion and respect makes her a great choice for folks seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
17. Marissa G.
“Marissa is not one of the most caring people I know… she is THE most caring person I know. Her attentiveness and compassion for animals extends beyond her love of walks and dog parks, she makes sure your furry friend feels loved.”
18. Yiannis G.
“I’ve known Yiannis for three years now and every single time I’m out of town I can depend on him to take care of my wonderful kids. I’ve got 2 cats and 1 dog haha. On a serious note, anyone can rely on him to really care for their pets. He’s yet to let me down and to be honest with you, sometimes I’m jealous of the amount of affection he gets from my pets.”
19. Claire C.
About: I have two dogs of my own and my family has always had dogs growing up. At one point, my family had 10 dogs that my sister and I helped take care of them. I have just recently moved here and I am currently looking for a job. I am available for dog walking until 7 p.m. Monday - Thursday. I have two friendly dogs of my own that I spoil a little too much. I take them on long walks and play dates at the dog park in my neighborhood.
