“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!”


“Amy watched my Pomeranian, Peaches, for a couple of days last week, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was an excellent communicator and brought such a calm, grounding energy—exactly what both I and my dog needed. She even came early the day I was leaving and gently soothed Peaches while I packed. Peaches didn’t even realize I was heading out! Amy is truly a dog whisperer and gave me complete peace of mind. She’s the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.”


“K is fantastic! They communicated proactively and took plenty of pictures while I was away. I came home to a very happy and well cared for puppy”


“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 :)”


“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”


“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”


“Victoria is a trustworthy and caring sitter who makes sure your pet gets everything they need while you are away. We couldn’t be happier with her service!”


“Sara was amazing! Our 11 month old Violet loved her immediately. We asked her short notice, to stay a few extra hours and she was super accommodating and responsive. Can't say enough positive things about our experience. Will definitely use again!”


“Emma stayed at our house for a week and took good care of our dog and cat. She was great to work with! There was good communications. We were especially appreciative when she helped Nellie through a thunderstorm. Very reliable and responsible!”


“Moose loved his night hanging with Ani! My plans were last minute, so I reached out to Ani only a few hours before needing her. She was quick to respond and very professional. She even came by before to meet Moose and learn some paticulars about him. She was very communicative and send updates often along with pictures. I felt at ease all night and loved the pictures of him. Definitely will be using Ani in the future!”


“Camila was great! She took great care of our dog at our house. She took her for multiple walks and she always sent us pictures. My dog loved her! I am sure we will call her again whenever we need a pet sitter. Thank you!”

“We (Gigi in particular!) are so lucky to have Paige as regular house and sitter. Paige is reliable and responsibility and a very caring sitter.”


“Jeremy cared for our two dogs while we were away for a few days. He met them only once beforehand, but his warmth and kindness made our family feel he was a great fit for our pups. Jeremy was extremely thoughtful and thorough in his care of our dogs. He kept in touch with us the entire time, and he let me know how everything was going. Upon our return, the dogs were happy and healthy, and our home was well taken care of. Jeremy is great!”

Currently working for myself, so i have some morning and afternoon flexibility to help keep your fur baby feel loved. available to pet sit on weekends and some long weekends. I will care for your pet in your home to the particulars you outline. After having both puppies and dogs, i am very well versed in many basic first aid needs of dogs in different stages of life.

“Natalie was amazing! We had her stay at our home for a week and watch our dog. She was very responsive and sent pictures throughout the week. When we came home, our house was clean, and our dog was so happy! We are so thankful and would highly recommend Natalie. We will for sure use her again in the future!”



“Laura took care of our 5 year old yorkie for 8 nights while we were out of the country. This was the first time leaving Isla at home with someone who was not a family member. It gave me peace of mind having Laura encourage me to send her the notes I wrote up ahead of time so she could read up on Islas quirks and communication style. She was very respectful of my need to pass along information to assuage my anxiety. Laura was extremely conscientious regarding my requests of Islas routine and our home. She showered love on her while following her cues around exercise given the high temperatures. I could tell Isla was very happy in all the photos Laura sent. Being a Yorkie, Isla is a real lap dog who loves physical contact and I knew Laura was more than meeting her needs. Even with the time difference, our communication was smooth and consistent. As happy as Isla was to have us home, I can tell she’s missing Laura.”


“Awesome care of the dogs. She was very attentive and dogs. Loved her. I would use her again easily.”


“Will use again! Highly recommend. Sarah agreed to housesitting my dog for the weekend super last minute and still made time to stop by the day before for a meet and greet. She was a great guest in the house as well as very communicative. I can be sure my pup got lots of attention. Thanks again!”
