1. Katie R.


“Once again, Katie treated our girl like a princess and made our first long trip away easy and stress-free. I can't recommend Katie enough, especially if you're looking for a sitter for an extended time away. She's fantastic, keeps in great contact, and sends lots of videos and photos! I wish I could rate her higher than five stars - she's earned it!”


2. Andrhu M.

“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”


3. Taylor D.

“Taylor is very accommodating and flexible with our schedule, and prompt with communications & responses. She sent us photos and videos of our kitties every day. Thank you Taylor for taking good care of our bebes!”


4. Callan M.


“Cal was so good at keeping me updated while I was gone, and sent me the cutest pics. I felt like my dogs were safe with her, and she left the house immaculate. I will use her whenever I'm gone!”




5. Erin F.

“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”


6. Romy S.


“I’m pretty sure our two babies missed the sitter when we got back 😂 Romy absolutely spoiled them rotten (in the best way) with long walks and plenty of extra treats and bones. They sent so many photos and videos everyday, so after day one I didn’t have to worry about them and could just miss them knowing they were well taken care of. 1000000/10 would book again”


7. Khaytlen H.

“Khaytlen is amazing! She took on my two elder dogs when I had an emergency trip. My Cocker is paraplegic and in diapers. She cared so much about their well-being, sending daily pictures and messages. When Bailey wore sores on his hind feet from playing (I forgot to pack his feet socks and medicine), she purchased socks, medicine, and treated them just like her own pups. She knew exactly what to do in this situation. Her yard is beautiful, safe, and my dogs had a terrific time playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Khaytlen for your fur babies. She is my new 'go to' dog sitter!”


8. Adam S.

“Adam is truly exceptional. I have three dogs—two young, feisty corgis who have a history of not getting along, and a senior dog, Barkley. Adam not only managed their dynamic with ease, he reintroduced the corgis and helped them re-establish a peaceful pack order—something I’ve struggled with for several months. He also gave my senior dog the time and attention he needs, including long walks at Pt. Defiance (Barkley’s favorite). I came home to a calmer, happier pack (something I had not accomplished on my own), which says everything. Adam is patient, intuitive, and clearly understands dog behavior. If you need someone who can handle more than just the basics, Adam is your guy. I trust him completely.”


9. Mollie K.

“Mollie was great with our very high energy lab puppy. Not only was she great with Charlie, but I was a bit nervous and she answered all my questions & asked me follow up questions to ease my nerves. This was the longest we left our puppy with someone and I can’t thank Mollie enough for being patient with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Mollie for future trips! She also took great care of our house while away.”


10. Paul G.

“Paul was great with my high energy dog! He did a few drop in visits before house sitting to make sure my dog was comfortable with him. I would highly recommend Paul and will have him dog sit again!”


11. Morgan L.

“Morgan took wonderful care of our dog and our house. We loved the daily photos, she was easy to communicate with, and everything looked great when we got home.”


12. Emily O.

“Eddy was very well taken care of while under Emily's care. Emily cut out some time prior to her stay to get acquainted with our house and Eddy's routine and put our dogs separation anxiety to ease. Leaving a needy pet behind is always a little nerve wracking, but I knew she was in good hands.”


13. Brooke H.
“Brooke is truly one of a kind when it comes to caretaking. Whether it's the pets, people or the property she tends to, she gives them all her heart&attention. She has a rare gift of making everyone & everything feel valued, treating them with the same love and respect as if they were her own. Her dedication shines through in every detail, whether she's at home or at work, always going above and beyond to ensure everything and everyone in her care is treated with the utmost kindness and respect.”


14. Zania O.

“I selfishly don’t want to leave this review for Zania, because I want to gatekeep her! I am so thankful we found her to care for our dogs for an extended in-home stay while we traveled abroad. She was fantastic! She was incredibly communicative, responsive, and flexible, and she went above and beyond to ensure our dogs received exceptional care. We are so grateful for all of the efforts she made to make it a great experience for the dogs and to ensure that we got to travel with peace of mind. 10 out of 10!”


15. Natalya S.

“Natalya was wonderful! She did a great job and the pets seemed to really like her! She was good at communicating and reliable! Will definitely use again.”


16. Taylor H.
“Taylor is so great with my dogs! She has watched them multiple times and each stay she sends me so many adorable photo updates which I appreciate so much!! She is very caring with my pups and is extremely responsible with their care. 10/10, she is amazing!! 🐶🐶”


17. Rose W.
“I hired Rose to watch my cats, and she cared for them for several days. She was happy to clean their litter boxes, take care of their food and water needs, and best of all she sent videos of them as she played with them. I worry about people in my home when I'm away, but she was very trustworthy, and I won't hesitate to hire her again as the need arises. Rose made leaving my pets much easier. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job caring for them very seriously. I really appreciated her.”


18. Alyssa L.

“Alyssa was great and so patient with my dog, who sometimes needs extra time to warm up to new people. She was also very communicative and willing to be flexible with drop-in times as needed. She made me quickly feel like my dog was in safe hands which was very appreciated!”


19. Esther B.

“Esther was an amazing sitter in the way she cared for the pup. She was also a true saver of the day when I left my passport in Tacoma and she brought it to SEATAC for me. I am truly grateful for Esther and will definitely be using her again.”


20. Salman A.
“I recently boarded my dog, Lola with Salman and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Salman was professional, and clearly experienced with dogs of all temperaments. From the moment we arrived, Lola felt comfortable and welcomed. I received regular updates and photos, more then excepted. which gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious he were giving Lola lots of love and attention! Salman’s apartment was clean, safe, and had plenty of space for play and rest. When I picked up Lola, She was healthy, and even a little reluctant to leave—which says it all. I’ll definitely be using Salman again the next time I need boarding. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10. Thanks Salman”
