“Adriana was amazing!!! She was super accommodating because my pup gets really anxious and she made sure to update me with pictures during the stay. She went above and beyond in making sure that everything went smoothly and she’s so sweet. I’m so glad I got to meet her and I’ll definitely book with her in the future.”
“Rosa has been great with my pup! Communication is great, sending me photos and updates while I’m out, and follows directions for care. Helps make my dog feel comfortable while I’m away. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Brenda was an amazing sitter! We met ahead of the petsit and she was very nice and great with Margie cat. During her stay, she sent updates about how Margie was doing, along with cute pics. We came back to a super clean apartment. Thanks so much for hanging with our lil critter!”
“Michelle was wonderful with my dog callie! Michelle was able to coax Callie out of her shyness and gave her the love and attention that she needs. Michelle was communicative and responsive and regularly sent me pics of my baby. I'd definitely rebook her again?”
“Saifa was the best! My dog can be reactive to other dogs and is a finicky eater and Saifa had no problems. I got pictures and updates all weekend and overall she’s super communicative. Overall great house sitting experience!!”
“Priscilla was great! She was quick with communication. She arrived perfectly on time. She shared updates while I was away. I felt like my pup was is great care. I would definitely book Priscilla again!”
“Sophia watched our high energy 1.5 year old European Doberman for 5 days and did an amazing job keeping up with him! She went above and beyond to make sure he had a great time- taking him on long walks and giving him a lot of playtime :) From the pictures she sent, we could tell he was very comfortable with her. She communicated with us really well and gave us lots of updates. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Khoi was amazing with my dog Russell! He was super attentive and even worked to find ways to get him to walk as he can be a bit stubborn with new people. I will definitely be booking him again when the opportunity arises.”
“Ariel was great with Achilles. Since he’s an older dog his care is a little more specific (pees often and needs to be bottle fed). She handled it all very well and there were no issues during the stay that she didn’t take care of. I would use her again!”
“Meaghan took excellent care of our Great Dane (and our home) while we were away! She brought a calm loving energy to our sometimes anxious pup. She was punctual with her own timing and still very flexible with ours, and while we were away kept us updated with photos of our happy pup each day. Highly recommend her as a pup and house sitter!”
“Bethany was incredible with my anxiety-ridden little guy. She made him feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in a way that truly exceeded my expectations. I could see the difference in him right away — relaxed, happy, and clearly trusting her. She also made me feel at ease with perfectly timed updates and photos throughout the stay. Her communication was thoughtful, consistent, and exactly what I needed to know he was in good hands. I’d absolutely recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. And without hesitation, I’ll be asking her to watch my guy again. Thank you, Bethany! 🙌🐾”
“Astrid was the perfect sitter to take care of our girl during our quick getaway. We decided we wanted someone to stay at our place instead of boarding like we usually do, and I immediately felt she was trustworthy and responsible. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which is always so appreciated. Would definitely book Astrid again, thank you so much!”
“Sam has been great with pups providing us much needed support in looking after him whilst we’re away. She has a great rapport with dogs and is very personable. We’ll be using her again!”
“Anj was so sweet and great with our dog Zorro. She stayed with him for a week over Christmas. We got lots of adorable updates, and she was super helpful and flexible when I realized he needed his monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention and I hadn’t left written instructions for that. The apartment was spotless when we got home. We would love for her to watch him again. Thank you!”
“Juliana is great - I highly recommend her! All we dog lovers have to suffer through occasional separations when our travel plans cannot include our pets (our cat has no desire to get in the car...). With Juliana, we know we have nothing to worry about, and that is a huge relief!”
“Lauren was a great sitter for my puppy. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day and followed all instructions.y puppy seemed to be having a great time. Would definitely recommend.”
“Lizzy stayed at our apartment and watched our two older Boston Terriers over the weekend on short notice and we couldn't have had a better sitter. We could tell she was very knowledgeable from our initial meet which made it much easier to leave our gals feeling comfortable and confident they'd be taken care of. Lizzy was communicative, followed all directions, and left our apartment cleaner than we expected. Through photos we could see our girls were content, providing us peace of mind. We would 1000% book Lizzy again and she'll surely be our first call next time we leave town.”
“Aida was a wonderful pet sitter! She sent pictures and kept in communication with us regarding all details! The pets and house were in perfect shape when we came home. She made sure they were well fed and the house was so clean! We hope to hire her in the future!”
“Abdelkader was excellent! He was communicative and followed all the directives that I left for him. To be honest, I don’t plan on using anyone else for my cat sitting services if I can avoid it. He’s just that good! I look forward to booking his services again!”

Leigh was amazing with our corgi, Rigatoni! We were in a bind with finding someone on short notice and Leigh stepped in with some options for us. She came over to meet us and quickly bonded with him! Throughout her 3 days, she was super communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. Rigatoni loved spending time with her in the comfort of our apartment and going on his daily walks. We cannot wait to have Leigh come and watch Rigatoni again. Thanks, Leigh!
Katherine was incredible! Our dog has some medical concerns and this was our first time leaving him with a sitter since he began his medication. She was so great about following our administration instructions for the meds, as well as anything else we shared with her. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again! Our dog was so loved while we were out of town, and that’s truly all we could want!
Amanda was such a great help during our latest trip. We have a senior dog and she really took good care of him. Unfortunately he had to go to the emergency vet two times late at night and Amanda never questioned taking him. She stayed with him for multiple hours at the vet and was such a great help. Thanks!
We could not have had a better experience tan what we had with Mariah. She made sure our dog was safe, happy, and doted on. Our old lady has a couple of medicine routines and Mariah remained firmly on top of them. We got numerous updates with a happy, smiling bulldog. When we came back our place was perfectly kept and our dog was already missing her!
Astrid was an amazing sitter! We were nervous about leaving our puppy for the first time, especially for a vacation that was over a week long, but as soon as we met her, we knew both Pierogi and we were in great hands. She was incredibly communicative, sending us daily updates along with lots of photos and videos of our boy. Astrid was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond by even helping set up a dog playdate with our next-door neighbor. She also left our home spotless!! We feel so lucky to have found someone like Astrid and have already booked her again for a future stay. Don’t hesitate to book with her you won’t regret it!
Carmen was so kind with our senior dog. She needs more care these days and things can get a bit complicated, but Carmen handled everything smoothly. She’d made sure to meet us ahead of time as well to get to know our dog before house sitting. She was communicative throughout. Highly recommend!
