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.

Luliia was extremely professional, communicative, and friendly. We felt that our pups were in great hands while we were away for a week. The house was in beautiful shape when we arrived home, and she followed all of our instructions for care of the two dogs. we will definitely use her for all of our future bookings!

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!

Taylor stayed at our condo and looked after our cat for a week. I cannot recommend her enough. She went above and beyond giving Pikachu care, love, and attention, and I could see from the pics our cat was stuck like glue to her! She sent us lots of photos and was always in communication, so we didn't worry about anything while we were gone. She left our place clean and tidy. This was our first time working with her, and we will definitely book care with her again.

Cristina is the best! She is our primary house and dog sitter, and she is timely, communicative, flexible, and trustworthy. Basically everything you'd want in a house/dog sitter and more! But most importantly, our dog LOVES her. So much so, he gets sad when we come home! She sends regular updates, and provides such a loving and safe environment for him when we're gone. We appreciate her so much, and can't recommend her enough.

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!!!

Sergio did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of all 4 of our pets. He was responsive, kept us up to date with videos and pics, and if anything happened that we needed to be aware of. When we got home the house was just as we left it, no messes, no old food or dirty dishes, even took the trash/recycling out, and shoveled the sidewalk and driveway (partially, it's a big driveway) from a snowstorm that happened. We'll definitely be asking him to house & pet sit for us in the future.
