“Justelle did a great job with the pups, they were both very happy when we got home and were sad to see her go! We have a German shepherd and a 1 year old mini Aussie, she was comfortable with both. She left the house clean and put away. We will definitely be booking Justelle again.”
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my house. She communicated well and kept me informed about how well my cat was eating and really tried to interact with Bumper to “win her over.” I will definitely use her again!”
“Jessie was absolutely wonderful with our 4.5-month-old puppy, Zara! She’s a very active little one, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup who was so excited and full of energy. Jessie went above and beyond—from thoughtfully adjusting Zara’s treats for safety, to making sure she had plenty of play and enrichment while we were away. She also kept a detailed journal of Zara’s daily activities, which we really appreciated—it was so reassuring to read through and see how she spent her time. She was incredibly respectful of our home, even taking the time to wash the sheets and towels before she left. It’s clear she genuinely cared about Zara’s well-being and comfort, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter!”
“Wilma was wonderful. Will use again. We have two older small dogs. One of them needs special attention with food and care. Wilma took care to make sure dogs were happy and comfortable. She sent lots of pictures that helped us relax knowing the dogs were safe.”
“Olivia stayed with Max, our 20-lb mini-Aussie, for the evening and did a great job. She was on time, professional, and very comfortable with him from the start. Max can be a little grumpy or cautious with new people, but he warmed up to Olivia right away and seemed very relaxed around her. We would definitely have her watch Max again.”
“Our dog, Layla, took to Iris quickly and she seemed to have a great connection with her (Layla is very "stranger danger" sort of dog). Working with Iris was great and we will definitely use her services again - and soon.”
“Georgia was willing to accommodate me on very short notice to house sit our puppy pug for a full day. Our dog took to her quickly. I plan on asking Georgia to house sit again soon and would recommend her.”
“Ming is a wonderful sitter and walker. She provides a lot of updates and we know that Jasper is in good hands and can feel at ease when we are out of town knowing he’s being taken very good care of. She is very responsive and is loved by Jasper!”
“Anna was a fabulous dog sitter and we would not hesitate to hire her again! Excellent communication and care of our dog and our home. Our dog is an XL, energetic mix with a big personality who is dog reactive, so we did a trial walk before the sit and Anna adeptly adapted to our dog's routine. Thank you again!”
“Sanuthi watched my cat at my house for a week and I felt very comfortable with her there! She even walked her outside on the leash. Already booked her a second time!”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Toki stayed with my dog and cat for a weekend. He was kind, polite, on time, and gentle with my anxious pup. When I checked in to see how things were going, he responded right away. He sent photos at the end of the visit.”
“Junbo is kind, reliable, and communicative. She took care of my dog and place for over a week. My 7 year old dog loved her from day 1. Junbo followed the care instructions I left, sent lots of photos, and was generous with her time, the long walks, and day adventures she took my dog on. On the way back, my dog looked happy and healthy, and my place was clean and well taken care of. I’m happy to have found a great sitter. Thank you for your great work, Junbo!”
“Such a great feeling knowing that my pets are cared for and when I return home everything is just as I left it. Felicia and Brendan are very good at this. I highly recommend them.”
“Rachel did an incredible job caring for our older dog for 1 week. She gave her lots of slow walks and loving attention! I swear Rainbow seemed more spry when we got home! She was great at communicating. I highly recommend Rachel!”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“Wendy was incredible! She’s so communicative and goes the extra mile to make sure my cat has a good experience. She’s such a natural with animals and she is definitely my cat’s favorite sitter.”
“Gabrielle was excellent! She provided pictures, did daily walks, and gave our animals plenty of attention. Her communication was great. One of our dogs wound up having some stomach issues causing accidents in the house. She went above and beyond to manage the situation. 10/10 recommend her!”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”

Justelle is magic with cats. She coaxed our extremely shy cat out of hiding so she could give him his inhaler. I wasn’t even sure it would be possible for a cat sitter to get that done with him! She’s a an animal lover and we love having her take care of our babies.
Anna watched Cairo and Momo while we were out of town, and she was exactly who we needed. Cairo is very sick and partially disabled, and she went to great lengths to care for our boy, paying attention to every little detail from medication timing to his mobility needs. She kept us updated the whole trip and clearly treated both dogs like her own. Highly recommend her if you’ve got a pet with special needs.
We’ve had some amazing dog sitters in the past, but the care Magdalena provided was on an entirely different level. Our previous sitters were great, but this was a different kind of care, more loving, affectionate, nurturing, and deeply connected than anything we’ve experienced before. We had actually been avoiding vacations over the past year because of our 14-year-old senior dog. With his mix of good and tough days, we were nervous about leaving him and wanted someone we truly trusted to handle any situation, especially since he can get anxious when we’re away. We interviewed a number of sitters, but choosing Magdalena was a no brainer. From the moment she walked through the door, both dogs were instantly drawn to her, and the feeling was clearly mutual. She immediately showered them with affection, and they didn’t leave her side the entire visit. While we were away, Magdalena was an absolute dream. She kept us constantly updated with photos and thoughtful daily summaries, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in her care, even taking them on daily field trips to dog parks and giving them long, enriching walks. What really stood out was how quickly she understood each dog’s unique needs. She recognized that our senior dog needed more mental stimulation, while our younger dog needed more physical activity, and she balanced both perfectly. In fact, her care seemed to give our older dog a bit of renewed energy. Magdalena is also an amazing trainer. Throughout her time with our dogs, she naturally introduced helpful training techniques and tips, which made a noticeable difference. We truly couldn’t be more impressed. Magdalena treated our dogs like her own, and it showed in how happy and well cared for they were. Because of the trust we now have in her, we feel much more confident about traveling in the coming months. It is such a relief knowing we have a sitter who will meet our dogs’ needs so exceptionally well. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
