Helene was so wonderful and helped me out on 24-hours notice to take care of my two dogs for one night. She sent pics and I know they were very happy because when I returned they both were so calm and peaecful, it was like I'd never been gone. A million thanks for your great help!

Lesly was great to book in a pinch! Our little zoo seemed well taken care for when we came back. She also left the sweetest note for us to see when we returned!

Gabby was wonderful! Our dog is an easy-going guy in our apartment but has a lot of anxiety around strangers and new things. Gabby was patient and attentive with him, extremely communicative, and respectful of our house. She went above and beyond to give our dog plenty of walks and love while we were gone. Highly recommend Gabby to care for your pet while you're away! :)

Jason is great with our big old dog. He hasn’t stayed overnight with him for quite some time and yet he remembered all of our dog’s eccentricities. He even brought extra rug runners because he knows our dog struggles with the wood floors. Although I set up a room for Jason on another floor, he said he knew our dog Donnie like to be close to him and that he would sleep on the couch instead. We felt 100% comfortable with leaving our dog with Jason. That means so much to us.

I contacted Concetta REALLY last minute- I mean the day I needed a dog sitter, and she responded immediately and she was able to do it. She communicated really well with me while she stayed the night with my dogs and she was with them for longer than any other sitters stayed with them, usually my sitters left first thing when they woke up but Concetta hung out with them for a bit! She’ll be my new go to sitter!

About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.

Highly recommend Minh for house and pet sitting. He took great care of our cat Jasper who ended up being quite shy. Minh helped make sure he had food and water and moved these to where Jasper was hiding out. Minh was extremely responsive, detailed and thoughtful. House was taken care of and left in excellent condition.

Monica is an amazing pet sitter. The dog was happy. The house was clean. She followed all the instructions provided. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of adorable pictures of our dog playing and snuggling. Our dog isn't the easiest and takes a while to warm up to new people. Monica did a great job gaining her trust and making sure they had a good week while we were away. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.

We are so glad that Sophia was able to dogsit our beloved doggo. She stayed with them for two weeks at our home and sent us pics of both doggies almost every day. When our senior dog needed medical attention, she informed us promprtly and made a vet appointment as well. She was personable responsible, responsive and left the house in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone who is looking for expert dogsitting, she is truly excellent in every way possible!
