“Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”

“Emma was fantastic! I literally put in a request the day before needed because my previous booked sitter cancelled at the VERY last minute. Emma was more than gracious with accepting and was the best sit for Blu! I highly recommend her for a dog sit. She provided realtime updates and Blu was very happy with her.”

“Corie’s care of our four dogs and tortoises was excellent - she’s a compassionate, thoughtful petsitter who made sure that we were kept updated about our pets’ wellbeing throughout our time away from home. We look forward to having her take care of Bear, Louie, Gigi, CloClo and our tortoises in the future!”

“Danny was great with our two dogs while he stayed at our apartment for a 5 day trip out of the country! Would definitely recommend to friends and use him again!”

“Russell is a delight to work with! His communication and care for our golden doodle is the best we have ever had from a sitter. And he was incredibly flexible when we experienced weather-related travel delays. Highly recommend!”

“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”

“This is Andrew's second time with Stephanie pet sitting and I know it will not be his last! He was calm and clearly well-cared for when we got home. Andrew is blind so it's not easy for him to have new adventures but Stephanie kept him occupied with massages, games and lots of affection. He is not crazy about taking walks but Stephanie somehow got him to take a 45 minute walk! She sent us detailed updates and funny, adorable photos. I feel very comfortable with Stephanie. We were able to take our trip without worry. Plus, the house was beautiful when we got home.”

“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Bradley was so great with my puppy. I never used Rover before and was nervous having someone else watch my pup and be in my house, but Bradley was amazingly and my pup was well taken care of. Sent pics of my pup out and playing which made me feel much more comfortable. Will def book again !”

“Jini was a wonderful sitter for our home and our pets! She was communicative, clean, kind, and did a great job keeping our pups on a routine and feeling comfortable while we were out of town. We had no doubts that our boys were well taken care of, exercised and treated like they were her own while we couldn’t be here. We will absolutely be calling Jini for future trips and sitting needs!”

“Jayme was great with my dog and was extremely flexible dealing with some last minute and slightly complicated plans. He was extremely patient and I felt confident with my dog in his care.”

“Farah barked ferociously when she saw someone approaching the house. As soon as she realized it was Kayla, though, she stopped barking and starting wagging. She loves Kayla! Kayla's calm demeanor is just right for an anxious dog like our fear-driven aggressive pocket bully, and yet Kayla is very conscientious about reporting everything that could be a concern. She also took care of our packages and a guest issue for us. Highly recommend!”


“Molly is amazing!! She sent me sooo many pictures and updates of Zeus every day which I loved! She was so attentive of the notes I wrote for her and asked good questions to clarify about certain things. She reached out and was happy to take suggestions to make my dog more comfortable. Zeus seemed to be calm with her which is awesome because he can be quite nervous at first. She’s a great communicator and left my place just as I left it. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Really went above and beyond in caring for my dog with special needs - GREAT communication and updates and I came home to a perfectly happy pup! Thank you so much!!!”

“Our dog, Stevie, was in amazing hands with Aaron and Paweena. They truly rolled out the red carpet for our cattle dog/German shepherd mix. Since Stevie can be nervous around new people, they generously came over for meet-and-greets and walks before our trip. Once we left, for nearly a week and an ocean away, we quickly saw that she was smitten with her new companions. Their daily photos or videos filled our hearts as we watched her thrive with Aaron and Paweena. Aaron has also completed specialized training and brought fun enrichment games to keep Stevie engaged. They clearly understand animal behavior and show deep compassion for the pets entrusted to their care. For walking or house sitting, we highly recommend this experienced, caring dog-whisperer couple. Thank you both!”


“We hired Karima to pet sit/house sit while we went away for a few days. It was our first time leaving our two dogs at home because traveling and leaving them at someone else’s house causes them stress in their older age, and we are so happy we found Karima! She followed their schedule perfectly and administered medication to our older guy. She provided videos and updates which put us at ease. She also left the house spotless and the dogs were happily exhausted by the time we got home. We will be hiring her again in the future!”

“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”

Shannon is an incredible sitter! She is extremely communicative, responsible, and trustworthy--when I met her, I felt immediately comfortable having her stay in my home with my dog who struggles with anxiety at times and has a sensitive stomach. I would absolutely trust Shannon again in my home with my dog, and I'm grateful for her dependable, high quality pet care!!

Madison did an excellent job watching my two cats while I was away for a week. One of my cats needs daily liquid medicine and she quickly learned how to give the meds safely and efficiently. Madison sent daily updates and photos, and when I returned, my apartment was spotless. I look forward to hiring Madison again soon!

We are so blessed to have found Issi as a sitter for Kiki. She was wonderful with Kiki and also calmed my nerves making it possible for me to go on my first trip without my little one feeling confident. Issi sent updates through the day with pictures which I looked forward to everyday! Issi took wonderful care of my home it looked even better when I came home! We will for sure be requesting Cynthia again we love her!

Shannon took wonderful care of our dog, cat, and home when we were on vacation for 2.5 weeks. She asked great, thorough questions about them when we were establishing her care and she was responsive and attentive to their needs while we were gone. Knowing she was caring for them really helped us relax while we were away. We would definitely book with her again for a future long trip!

Brianna is a LIFESAVER. I've been using the same sitter for years in So. Cal, but I'm temporarily in DC and was completely lost on what to do when I had to do an unexpected work trip. Brianna immediately arranged a meet and greet, took the time to get to know my cats and the space. And on that work trip, I realized that separate arrangements I had made hadn't worked out, and my cats had been alone for 24 hours plus. Brianna graciously stepped in and got the keys (and helped me avoid an awkward situation), and took care of the cats for the rest of the trip. I'm in DC until November, and very grateful I have someone reliable to take care of the furballs until then!

Lydia is great! She stayed in our home to take of our dog Nikko while we were away for 4 days. She sent regular updates and Nikko seemed to have a really good time with her. She was also super communicative and responsive during our pre-stay coordination and for the meet and greet. Definitely would recommend Lydia to anyone looking to have their dog taken care of by a nice and responsible person!

Jini is fantastic and treats our pets as if they were her own. She is attentive, communicative, and loves to be around pets! We always feel so confident that our pets are in great caring hands while we are away and don’t stress about the care or love they’re receiving.

Pippa (Tirzah) looked after our two dogs for two weeks and they were well taken care of and clearly took to her. In addition, Pippa was a responsible house sitter and everything was in good order when we returned, making it easy for us to come home. We'll hire Pippa again!
