This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.

Kavya has become our trusted sitter for our puppy. She provides helpful and thorough updates that allow us to feel secure with being away from our pup, and she has provided multiple tips to help with training! She’s very knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, and our pup flies out of our hands to greet Kavya every time they see each other which is a great sign!

Stephen really came through when my sitter had to cancel last minute. His detailed approach to pet care really put me at ease that Baeley would be in great hands while I was out of town. He did a great job following my instructions and communicating while I was away. Confidently recommend and will be seeking his services in the future.

Sage is my retired Service Dog and has not left my side for 5.5 years. I have been terrified of being apart. However the opportunity arose to have a night away. I found Ghazaal who put me at ease. Just before leaving, I got sick Ghazaal rearranged her calendar to help both Sage and myself out. Couldn't recommend anyone else who is more caring, respectful, and reliable.

Amara is the best. When I returned from a weekend awa, my puppy, Loki, was relaxed and happy. Amara listened carefully to all of my instructions, and followed them all. When she had a question about them, she texted me. She also sent lots of photos. Could not have asked for more! I will book again! I would give 20 stars if I could. Ann

Lucia used to be my roommate and was great with my cat, Bruce. She would also catsit him for me whenever I was out of town (sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time). Bruce always felt very comfortable around her, even preferring to hang with her over me sometimes :( She's also extremely responsive and made sure to keep me updated on what he'd been up to every day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.

I've known Melissa my whole life and I can say with absolute confidence that she can and will be a great pet caregiver. She's had experience with both dogs and cats and she's always done a great job. For 10+ years we would take care of a family friend's dog, Figo, when they went on vacation and Melissa always made sure to follow the routines they gave her. He was shown so much love and care that we were basically his second family, and a big part of that was Melissa's hard work in caring for him. I 100% recommend Melissa and know she will show as much care to any pet as she did to Figo.

Austin took care of our dog, Bailey, at our house for 11 nights. Austin is extremely diligent with great attention to details. Even before he took on the job, he asked detailed questions about our dog and how to care for him. He followed all our care instructions very well. Our dog had some anxiety at the start of the stay and Austin was very communicative about it. He gave our dog a lot of love and attention to make him feel better. Austin kept us updated throughout the stay and even offered to stay a little longer as our flight was delayed. Overall, we are very happy with Austin and would rebook him without hesitation.

I am always so glad to have Vicky to take care of my cat and know she will be in reliable hands. Vicky has looked after her for several trips over the years, the longest of which was one month. She paid careful attention to my requests about feeding schedule. She was also quite in tune with how my cat was doing, and my normally grumpy cat became affectionate with her too. Vicky kept me posted with photos and let me know what my cat had been up to. I came home to a happy cat!

John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.

Arlene was absolutely wonderful! She was unbelievably responsive in communication, provided regular updates, went on a ton of adventures with Benji, and left everything in perfect order. I would very happily ask her watch Benji again.
