“Annie was so great! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family since 2019, and Annie made me feel so comfortable right away. She sent great photos and updates about my dog, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying about how my dog was doing. Will definitely hire Annie again!”

“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”
“Fiona was an all around excellent pet sitter. From the initial consult to the key return she was communicative and professional. She took such good care of my girls and my home, and sent plenty of updates and pictures! She truly went above and beyond for me and my pets and handled every hiccup (on my end) with tact and kindness. I will be booking her everytime I need a sitter! :)”

“I appreciate that Omar took the time to meet with me beforehand so my dog could get comfortable with him, that actually makes a big difference. He followed all the instructions I provided. My place was left exactly how I left it which shows he respects my space, and that’s always a plus. I’m booking him again soon!”

“Took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for 10 days! She kept us up to date regularly and took some of the best pictures. She also got them comfortable with short outdoor walks which we plan to keep up now that we’re back. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs !”

“Gabriela was absolutely lovely! She was very communicative with updates, photos and videos to let me know that the kitties were doing well and medication was administered.”

“Kelso was great. She was very responsive and communicative and our dog seemed quite happy and content when we returned. Bonus: she left the house clean and left her towels freshly laundered!”


“Such a sweet and amazing sitter! Super communicative, caring, and made me feel completely at ease the whole time. My dogs were so happy and well taken care of. Would absolutely book again!”
“Faith showed up for every drop in and took my babies for walks. She kept an extra close eye on Neville because he’d just had a tooth extracted and was on a soft diet with pain meds. Faith patiently soaked his kibble and proportioned his wet food to go with it and I’m so grateful for that. She was great with my fur children.”

“Sarah is always a delight. She is so good with our crew. Our dog and I were outside in the yard when he heard her open her car door and he excitedly barked his hellos with his tail wagging ‘til she walked into our yard. That’s a pretty great indication of how beloved she is to our family.”


“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”
“Samia is extremely on top of communicating and care! She even caught that some of our homemade cookies were looking a bit moldy and threw them out before any harm could come to our pup. 5 star care all around”

“Mairead was fantastic! She was so good with my dogs and sent me tons of pictures and updates. My dogs can be a bit anxious the first day with a new person and she handled it perfectly. She was so good about questions if something came up and letting me know how the dogs were doing each day. I never worried that my dogs were in the best hands!”

“Connie was communicative and easily bonded with our dogs! She also sent pictures of them! I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her and knew they were in good hands. Thank you for taking care of our dogs! Came back to happy puppies!”

“Xena loved her time with Andres. I was regularly updated with pictures and always felt like Xena was well cared for. I came home to a happy pup all thanks to Andres. Highly recommend.”

I am so glad we found Marisa to watch our 19 year old kitty while we were away for a few days. My cat had never been watched by anyone outside the family, and with his age and medical needs I was nervous about leaving him alone. Upon arriving Marisa sent me a video of him crawling into her lap to cuddle, and I immediately felt so much better! Marisa took excellent care of my boy, made sure he got his medication on time, made sure he was well fed, and provided him with great company. I also really appreciate all the updates Marisa gave us throughout her stay, and that she checked in with us about his separation anxiety. After a long few days of travel we came home to a happy, healthy cat, and a clean apartment. Thank you again, Marisa!

Wamuyu is such a kind, gentle person who cared for our two kitties while we were away. She is very communicative, we had complete peace of mind while on vacation. Even when our kitties were shy or upset about taking their meds, Wamuyu was persistent and patient and always completed their care. We would recommend her highly!

Zoe did a great job with our dog! She was communicative and flexible while we were away and she sent lots of pictures. She found ways to keep him entertained while a heatwave hit and was unable to spend a lot of time outdoors—which is not an easy task when your dog is 50% cattle dog. Zoe also left our apartment very clean and even started the laundry for the bedding and towels before we got home. I would absolutely recommend Zoe to watch your pet.

Maya was amazing with Lobo; I wish she wasn't moving because he really seemed to enjoy her. He was so mad when she left, and he wanted her to come back. She went out of her way to make him comfortable and got him through the Fourth of July. He is a needy guy, so I am super grateful that Maya was able to handle his neediness and give him the love he needs. She left the place super clean and sent me tons of photos and videos of Lobo (which kept me at ease). She even bought him treats :) Thank you, Maya!!

Here’s a warm, natural review you can post: Alex was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home while watching our dog and took amazing care of everything. She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and our dog was happy and well cared for when we got home. She also left our house incredibly clean—it honestly looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. It was such a relief to come home to a spotless house and a happy pup. We would absolutely book Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter!

Anastasiia took such wonderful care of my dog Biscuit! Biscuit is a happy but anxious mini-labradoodle and Anastasiia followed all the instructions, gave such detailed updates and lots of pictures, and left my apartment spotless! Highly recommend Anastasiia to care for your pets, she is the best.

Kayla was INCREDIBLE! My dog was anxious during the fireworks and thunderstorms and Kayla not only calmed her down, but sat with her for hours in her safe spot! She sent many updates multiple times a day with pictures and was amazing. I highly recommend Kayla and will absolutely be booking with her again.

Zach was absolutely wonderful! He was incredibly friendly, and my dog took to him right away, which immediately put me at ease. Since this was the first time I’d ever left my dog with someone he’d only met briefly, I was naturally a little nervous. Zach sent consistent updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I got home, the house was spotless and exactly as I had left it. It was clear he took great care of both my dog and my home. Thank you so much, Zach! I wouldn’t hesitate to have you stay again in the future and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Em was wonderful with our boys! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was very communicative throughout her stay. Our dog can be anxious and he absolutely loved spending time with Em. We could tell how attentive and caring she was by how much our boys loved to snuggle with her. We are so glad we’ve found her and have already lined up future bookings!

Caline is so great!! We came home to a very happy dog after Caline spent a long holiday weekend with her. She was reliable and frequently shared updates/phots. She was also very patient with our energetic and overly affectionate dog. Would absolutely recommend Caline as a sitter, and we plan to reach out to her again in the future.

Emily was amazing!!! We were really nervous because we rarely leave the pets for more than a weekend. Emily sent pictures and updates throughout the day which gave my partner and I peace of mind while we were out of the country. Upon arriving home, my dog greeted us and then ran in the spare room looking for Emily which she has never done for anyone except for us 🥹
