“We loved Kimberly and highly recommend her! She was amazing with my dog. He is an older dog with a few medical issues. I normally don’t like to ever leave him but Kimberly made me feel that he was safe and in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and videos each day. She was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be using her again! Lisa”


2. Vivian S.

“Well what can I say! It is the second time that we have had Vivian stay at our home. Vivian is amazing! Our puppies love her! She always sends updates and great pictures of them. My wife and I do not worry about them while she is here. If your looking for a wonderful person look no further! She is wonderful with our puppies!”


3. Veronica R.

“It was a very nice experience having Veronica cat sit my two fur babies. She was very good at communicating and very responsible! My cats really took to her fast, considering I have one that is very cautious around new people, was warming up to her quickly. When I came home things felt very good, the cats seemed happy and things went very smooth overall! I felt I could trust her so I was at ease while away! Will call again! :)”


4. Mike B.

“After I leave this review everyone will want to use him and he might not have anytime left for me. LOL Compassionate, intelligent and an obvious animal lover.I don't know what I would have done without his help..... On the morning of my daughters wedding my dog (Marzipan) out of nowhere and right before I had leave,started showing signs of pain and dicomfort. Mike calmed me down and actually took her to the vet for me. Unbelievable. I would never use anyone else. Thank Mike.”

7. Thalia R.

“Thalia watched our dog Jack for the day and did an excellent job with him. She connected with him right away! I appreciated that she kept me updated by sending photos throughout the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Thalia next time I need someone to watch Jack!”


8. Yasmine E.

“Yasmine was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend! My girls aren't too difficult but they are certainly particular and Yasmine killed it. She stayed at my place for a week and when I returned, it looked exactly as I had left it. I've finally come home from a trip and genuinely felt like my girls were taken care of.”

“Regina is an awesome person! She’s caring, kind and responsible. Was a Dog mom, loves animals, patient along with being so sweet and gentle to all.”


10. Skylar S.
“I’ve known Skylar for a long time and each time she has come into contact with my pets it has been a wonderful experience! I have 2 cats named Aspen and Simba and a dog named Luna. I completely trust her to care for my pets when I need to go out of town. The litter boxes are always cleaned, Lunas walks are completed, and every one of course always eats their breakfast and dinner on time! I know my animals are well taken care of when I leave them under Skylar’s care, she’s easy to talk to and listens to my concerns and my pets needs!”


11. Leah C.

“My first time using anyone outside of family to care for my dogs and I was thoroughly satisfied with the care Leah provided to my babies. I know they had a great time with her from the pictures and video she sent. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her services moving forward..”


12. Kim T.

“Kim was a lifesaver! We needed a sitter last minute for our pups as we were traveling to Italy. She wrote down notes for each of the puppies during the house visit and was confident the care she would provide them. She was attentive to their and our needs. She kept us informed throughout our trip and was able to understand their personalities. The pups gravitated towards her and felt comfortable. I would definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner almost all my life owning both dogs and cats. I have own most of my pets in my home country and the US making my experience stand out.

I will learn about the pets routine, (feeding schedule if they have one), Provide attention (affection and supervision), Maintain their environment (keep environment clear of any toxic substances or dangerous areas) and Communication with the owner


14. Nicole Z.

“Nicole is an outstanding dog sitter! She was so thoughtful and kind in taking care of our dog, Edna. She took care of Edna and stayed in our place while we were away and even helped coordinate transitions with another dog sitter for a portion of the time we were away. Nicole provided regular updates and adorable photos of our dog while we were away - it was so reassuring to know Edna was in such good hands. Nicole was an excellent houseguest as well, even offering to water a few plants. We were so grateful for the high quality care Nicole provided - we highly recommend Nicole as an excellent dog sitter!”




15. Justine C.
About: Love dogs and would love a chance to play with yours! Used to be an athlete in college and definitely willing to run around to tire out your dog. Also I live close to a dog park and lots of great trails to walk on. My apartment is dog friendly and will be able to walk around my area at night as well without any issues. I currently have one dog, a toy poodle and a cat. Both are very friendly, although the toy poodle just wants to cuddle all day and the cat just wants to eat nonstop. The toy poodle Mocha, enjoys playing with dogs and people. My cat is also very friendly. I’m available to pet sit before 8a and after 5p on weekdays. If needed, I may be able to stop by midday on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day. I will clean up after your pet and try to take in any mail/packages. I will also try to take out any trash from cat litter or food cans while you are away.

“I have used Jessica for many years to watch my dog whenever I go on vacation or I need someone to take her out for a walk. She is caring and responsible. My dog loves her and is always so happy to be with Jessica. I 100% recommend her to care for anyone's pet.”

“Collette started taking care of our Freddy when he was a puppy. From the beginning she put our family at ease while we were out at work. We loved her detailed messages and pictures at the end of each visit. Freddy really bonded well with Collette. We would highly recommend her for her services!”


20. Cynthia W.
“I was very happy to find Cynthia, she is a true dog lover and takes amazing care of my dog. Coco is young and difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Cynthia.
