“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Neil was an affectionate and reliable caregiver for our dog and two cats when we were away for a week+, providing lots of updates regarding their moods and cute moments, and clearly taking a lot of pleasure in their company. He was a great pal to them all and left us feeling comfortable that they were in good hands.”


“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”


“Alana was great! She stayed at our home for a week while we were away and cared for our boxer and other assorted small animals. She gave thorough updates daily, and we returned home to a happy pup and and clean and well cared for house. We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Tam took great care of our elderly shih tzu, including giving her eye drops and other meds multiple times a day. She took lots of photos and kept us fully informed of our dog's activities and well-being. She left our house clean and well cared for, and followed our care instructions (for both house and dog) carefully. Highly recommended!!”


“Emma did a wonderful job dogisitting for us. We have a very anxious little pup and he felt really safe with her. She also left our home in beautiful condition. She's an excellent communicator and we would recommend her without reservations.”


“Vanessa house sat for our dog and did a wonderful job. She was attentive to detail to ensure he had all of his usual comforts. She was flexible and able to accommodate our schedule when it changed, and she provided us with regular updates throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“Rachael stayed for 10 days with our 14 and 8 year old dogs and we had no concerns or worries. Not only were the dogs well cared for, she took great care of our house, even taking the initiative to put the garbage out a second time when we had flight delays and missed connections and her schedule allowed her to stay another night. Though a seemingly little thing, it was so nice to see when we returned, not to mention the luck of having her with our dogs when the airlines couldn't get us home. We are so grateful!”

“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!”


“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”


“Aaron was great and easy to connect with for a day of watching our big dog. Grateful he was open to a meet and greet first and updated throughout the time he was watching our boy 🐶”



“May was terrific! She house-sat for my cat and energetic 5-year old Husky. She took my Husky on several walks and sent me many pictures, videos and updates to let me know that everyone was doing well. I will definitely be requesting May again if I need someone to watch and care for my dog! She's great!”
