4. Andrew T.
“Andrew stayed at our house with our 140lb, elder Newfoundland for a a long weekend and everything went wonderfully. He requires quite a few oral meds mixed into his food, and a careful eye on his walks as not not over exert him and Andrew handled this no problem. We got updates and pics along they way and came home to a very clean home and happy pup! Look forward to having Andrew stay with our dog again.”
5. Nicole C.

“Kelcee was excellent! Our dog and cat were well cared for over the 4 days we were gone. She kept us updated and sent frequent photos. She also was very clean and respectful of our space. I would Kelcee recommend to anyone!”
10. Julia R.
“Julia provided a week of pet sitting for my anxious dog. She was very kind and accommodating and offered to meet us multiple times beforehand so my dog could get used to her. We even booked a walk through Rover before the sitting. She was a great sitter, and I’d recommend her!”
11. Ella C.
“Ella took care of our dog over the holidays. This was our first time leaving our pup with a pet sitter and Ella came for a meet and greet visit beforehand, which was so helpful. She did such a great job building confidence with our pup, who can be slow to warm to new people. She sent me photos and updates. Communication was great and prompt. She left the house so tidy and clean! We will definitely work with Ella next time we need a pet sitter.”
12. Michael M.
“Michael handled the house and dog perfectly. Oakley is big and gregarious and followed Michael everywhere. When we returned home, Oakley clearly had been well taken care of.”
13. Melissa T.
“Melissa was wonderful and was always easy to get a hold of and was very generous with the pictures of the dogs, only bad thing was that all the pictures made me miss my dogs so bad when I was away hahaha. Would definitely use her services again!”
14. Olivia M.
“Olivia took excellent care of our 4 yo lab for the weekend, including managing a complicated med schedule. Great communication and super responsive & responsible.”
15. Emily O.
“Our cats and dog got to stay in their own environment and had a great time with Emily when she housesat while we were gone for four days. Daily photo check-ins meant we could relax knowing they were all getting plenty of cuddles and exercise - and she left the place immaculate. A total success, we hope to have her over again soon!”
16. Rachael B.
“Rachael has been absolutely amazing with my dog! My pup was a recent rescue that was scared of everything. Rachael spent the first few weeks increasing my dog’s comfort level with her and now my pup LOVES Rachael and gets excited for their daily walk! She’s the only other person that my dog trusts :)”
17. Korinne S.
“Korinne watched our 3 year old golden over Thanksgiving and we couldn’t have been happier! She gave him tons of attention, sent multiple pictures each day and left our house spotless! 10/10!”
18. May H.
“May took care of my dog and cat again recently. She is great with my dog, taking him on lots of walks. I will certainly book May again the next time I need someone to look after my pets!”
19. Polina S.
“Polina took care of our three kitties while we were away and she did a great job! Our oldest cat needs a special diet and Polina is really knowledgeable about what he needed. Our other two kitties are younger kittens and are still a bit skittish around people they don't know. After a few days though, Polina had gained their trust. It was really helpful that she stays overnight because it allowed her to spend more time around the kitties and meet their needs. We look forward to having Polina take care of our "kids" again.”
20. Mary B.
“Mary did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and apartment while we were out of town! She was very communicative and stayed on top of the details. Our two dogs clearly bonded with her. We are planning to book with her again for our next trip!”
