1. Mahlet B.

“When my usual pet/house sitter needed to cancel less than one week before an international trip, Mahlet saved the day and put my mind at ease. She was very responsive throughout, shared lots of pictures and videos. My cat Bibi can be very standoffish, but she warmed to Mahlet quickly and I'm sure she had the best time in her care.”


2. Heather J.

“Heather was amazing with Murphy! I got lots of updates and pictures so I knew how he was doing at all times. I will definitely book Heather again 😊”


3. Caroline G.

“This was the first time we left our almost 11 year old dog with a dog sitter since moving to NYC. Caroline did an excellent job for 11 days! She was super communicative, kept sending us pictures and videos throughout each day and really made us feel comfortable. Our dog had a great time! Would definitely recommend Caroline.”


4. Schirn J.

“Wow Schirn is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of our dog the 10 days we were in Ireland and did an amazing job. We even had a maintenance issue in our apartment and she had it fixed and had me updated in no time. She really is incredible. We got great pictures and updates every day. I will be using her every time we are out of town. 10/10”


5. Alejandra M.

“Our lab mix has come to love Alejandra so much that he jumps up to greet her and licks her face! The absolute best to know that he feels safe and comfortable around her when we are gone!”


6. Crystal M.


“Crystal stayed with my cat for 2 weeks and was a fantastic sitter. I was immediately put at ease because I could tell she carefully read through my instructions and asked me clarifying questions, and because - most importantly - my cat was cuddling with her from the get go. My cat doesn't do that often even with me! I requested daily updates, and Crystal sent a detailed daily update in addition to a lot of photos. Compared to other cat sitters I've used, Crystal was much more attentive and communicative. I was able to relax during my vacation knowing my cat was in good hands. Thank you, Crystal!”


7. Bryan m.

“Bryan was very patient and understanding with my large anxious dog. We worked together to get her to be comfortable with him and I had the utmost confidence in leaving her with him for two weeks. By the end they were best friends. Vacation saved! Thanks Bryan!”




8. Alice C.


“Alice is by far the most amazing sitter I have ever had the privilege of booking. A caring, highly responsive gem, Alice went above and beyond to make sure that my dog had a happy and healthy stay — not to mention the time of his life. In addition to caring EXCELLENTLY for my dog, Alice was extremely helpful in managing the logistics of life at my apartment even beyond managing the logistics of my dog’s care. She is the highest level of thoughtful, extremely responsive, kind and caring, and overall the best.”


9. Enmanuel P.

“Manny did a great job taking care of our dog for a week at our place. He was on-time, responsive, sent pictures while we were away, and left our apt clean and organized. He took our high-energy dog out for walks and on some local adventures, which he loved! It was our first time hiring him and we would be happy to do so again!”




10. Caitlin D.



“Where do I even begin?!? Caitlin is a complete DREAM! We have a big dog that doesn't get along with other dogs and she handled him with ease. We never worried once while we were gone. She also spent a lot of quality time with our pup knowing he was sad we were gone. She made sure to snuggle lots, send updates and left out house in great shape! Will use her again and again. Highly recommend her to others :-)”


11. Leslie M.

“Leslie was awesome - on time, detailed-oriented as can be, courteous, and most important, put my puppy at ease from the moment they met. Highly recommended. Just don’t hire her when I need her!”


12. Shannon W.

“Shannon was great! She kept Ralphie entertained and dealt with his zoomies (lol)!! He seemed very happy with her :) She kept my apartment super clean and was very respectful. She was also flexible and understanding with timing due to the inclement weather. Would definitely love to work with Shannon again!!”




13. Catherine S.


“Catherine always takes the absolute best care of our cat and our apartment. This time, she went above and beyond when she dealt with a possible flood situation by calming our cat, reaching out to me, and communicating with my building workers in order to resolve the issue. She is wonderful.”


14. Benn B.
“Benn has been watching my dog for the past few weeks and is super reliable, responsive, and patient! Was really appreciative that he was willing to work slowly with my pup on their relationship so he always felt comfortable.”


15. Yasmin S.

“Yasmin was amazing! I absolutely recommend her. She took care of my pup for almost a month while I was away. She also made sure to take care of my apartment well too. My dog loved her. She sent videos and photos daily as updates. Amazing job.”


16. Mark C.

“Mark was great with our black lab puppy. Sent picture updates and made us feel at ease that he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”


17. Alec & Katarina K.

“Alec and Katarina were great!! So professional and sent us picture updates throughout the day!! Ollie was so happy and tired as they spent a lot of time outside!! Would deff trust them to watch Ollie again!!”


18. Amanda A.


“Amanda was amazing! She stayed at our apartment for nearly a week to watch our Harley (mini goldendoodle). She sent me regular text and photo updates and Harley seemed very content and had no issues with us being gone. Amanda is a great communicator and very responsive to texts. She took Harley to the park regularly and made sure she got enough exercise. She was happy to follow all of my (very extensive) instructions too. We are already planning to book her again soon!”


19. Michelle W.

“Michelle dog sat my pup Ozzie for the night. He was immediately so comfortable with her and not as anxious as usual. She is great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Michelle.”


20. Anjuli F.

“IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DOG SITTER THEN STOP SCROLLING. I left for a week to help my mom after a surgery and my chonky dude was so happy. She played with him and even took him for runs. I loved the photos throughout the stay. She came by to do a meet-and-greet, as super kind, and perfect.”
