“Stephanie took great care of our three cats and dog while we were out of town! She was super easy to communicate with, gave us frequent, thorough updates on how everyone was doing, and sent lots of pics. Thank you Stephanie!”
“Sejla is a gem! We are so thankful for her. Excellent communication with meaningful updates, trustworthy and honest, punctual and responsible, and the absolute kindest. She always leaves our house in the same condition. Our dog loves her and we know Daisy is safe and in good hands with Sejla!”
“Alexus did an amazing job with our girl, Hippie! She stayed with her while we were gone for 2 weeks and she took excellent care of our dog. She updated us with photos and videos, and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She is very sweet with our dog and make sure she got in her walks every day, even working around the extreme heat. Alexus also had to deal with some unexpected home issues (ant infestation, fallen tree branches, etc.) while we were gone, and idd a great job helping us and communicating with us throughout. I would highly recommend Alexus and Hippie can't wait to have her visit again!”
“Malia was wonderful with my pets! I was so happy to come home to happy, relaxed animals. It’s clear that Malia has a genuine love for pets. My two chihuahuas and cat seemed to really warm up to her. She's clearly responsible and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving my little critters in her hands.”
“It was a great pleasure to have Danyel look after our little guy and home. As a siamese, he isn't the quietest cat to look after and has a particular set of routine he needs to follow but Danyel looked after him to the T! She was incredibly responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond the required ask to make sure our home and cat is burdened free by the time we got back from our trip. Thanks Danyel!”
“Gabriela is an excellent pet sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior fur babies! She is reliable and kept me updated with pics of the kids while I was gone. I look forward to hiring her again when needed!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job caring for our little dog, Coco. She connected well with Coco during our meet and greet. Coco is a bit shy and she warmed to Elizabeth immediately. While we were away, Elizabeth sent us updates of how the two of them were doing. She also took excellent care of our home — leaving things nicer than she found them! I would highly recommend her as a dog and house sitter. We are looking forward to having her back!”
“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”
“I have asked Michelle to pet sit my kitty, Nugget, on multiple occasions and she will continue to be the first person I reach out to. Michelle is very communicative, always making sure i am receiving pictures of my sweet girl. I know that when Michelle watches her, that she will be fed, have a clean litter box and will receive all the love. I think the biggest indicator that Michelle is great with my cat, is that Nugget absolutely loves her. It’s so wonderful having a pet sitter that I can trust. Thank you Michelle!”
“Melanie was an absolute life saver, our previous sitter canceled last minute and she stepped up and was above and beyond what me and my wife expected. It was our first time hiring a sitter for our puppy but we will absolutely go back to Melanie again. She’s the best”
“We had a great experience with Vivien, who stayed in our home for nine days to care for our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was also able to confidently administer insulin to our diabetic cat, which was a huge relief. Vivien was responsible, respectful of our space, and gave all of our pets plenty of attention and care. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’d gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Kelly was great with the dogs! She took such good care of them and they warmed up to her very quickly! She was very respectful of the space. I would 100% rebook her. Thank you Kelly :)”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats all my life. I would love to help care for years. A mind and goal for me. Is to save money on a new apartment that will allow dogs and cats and my goal is to save money to I will make sure everything is clean for pet care ❤️🔥 I’m doing this for full time to do pay my bills everything I love animals i’m available and wide open im comfortable with any times I’m not in a rush I follow any all instructions. Clients provide requiring pet care I can only take care of cats, but not dogs in my apartment but I can come over and take care of your animals
About: I had a family dog for 14 years and gave it all the love during its time with our family. The last five years my dog developed glaucoma and had a strict medicine routine that I had to follow to help with this issue. After that, I was a baby sitter for 3 years and also walked the family dog in the evenings. Since then, I have helped look over my friend’s/roomates dogs while they have been away. I have also been a cat sitter for my friend’s cats. I believe all furry friends deserve love and care, especially when they are away from their owners! At the moment, I am available evenings throughout the week, and I am very flexible on weekends. My schedule may change in mid August as I will return to school. I am great at following instructions and if needed, I will follow up for any clarification on questions. I aim to follow the furry friend’s routine, give them play time, and/or any desired care needed.
“Great communication, total pro and managed our 13 week old puppy with grace and courage :) Came back home to happy dogs and a super clean home, we couldn't ask for more!! Claudia is timely and organized, provided excellent updates and communication during our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again, so many thumbs up. Thank you Claudia for taking such amazing care of our pack!!”
“If you're looking at profiles and considering multiple sitters, I have great news- you've found the winner. It doesn't get any better than Jaynee! I have a dog with some unique special needs, and thought I'd be a wreck leaving her with a stranger, but Jaynee went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable. She is super communicative, professional, and responsive- she left my hope super clean as well. I'm so relieved to have found someone through this app! 10 stars!”
“Eli took fantastic care of Meri while I was away. He sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He also kept the house spotless and went above and beyond by washing and drying the blankets and towels. Highly recommend him!”
“Eagan was great with the dogs. I needed a last minute sitter for our dogs and glad we found Eagan. He was very responsive and very respectful of our place. We got back later than expected and Eagan was able to stay longer with our dogs and we greatly appreciate that! Our dogs grew very comfortable with him very quickly. We will definitely be rebooking with him again for our future needs. We highly recommend Eagan. Thank you so much!”
“Cittlali was great with my dog. Betta is very shy and reserved but she opened up to her. They went out together and I am impressed that they became friends in just two days. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and it gave me peace of mind. Thank you!”
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he’s turning 6 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

Vincent & Hsiao Chi C.
“I am delighted to recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. As a devoted dog owner himself, Vincent treats every dog with the same love, care, and attention he gives to his own Shiba Inu, Freddy. He has a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensures they get plenty of exercise, and prioritizes their well-being. Vincent is responsible, attentive, and truly enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, taking them on regular walks, or simply providing companionship, he goes above and beyond to make sure each dog feels safe and happy. With his flexible schedule and dedication to pet care, I have no doubt that any dog under his watch will be in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter, I highly recommend Vincent. He will treat your dog like family!”

Once again, Chris took great care of our little dog and kept a sense of humor about his demands, too. He was also understanding about things we forgot to do in our house. Gives us peace of mind knowing that he is caring with our dog and helpful in many ways while we are away. Thank you, Chris!

Caitlin watched my tiny Chihuahua for three days and it was her first time being left at home with a stranger. Ollie was so scared but Caitlin was very patient and kind to her, communicated with me, and even gave her anxiety meds when she needed them. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Loryne did a great job housesitting and taking care of our two dogs. Jake is a two year old Golden Retriever with a lot of energy. Gracie is a twelve year old Labradoodle. Loryne gave them plenty of exercise and took great care of them!! We will definitely use her again in the future!

Yas was an excellent sitter for my little dog, cat and our house! Very responsible, took wonderful care of everything and actually took my dog on daily walks. Sometimes more than once a day!! She also helped to water our plants and take in our mail. When we came home everything was neat and clean. Lovely and responsible person in every way and I highly recommend her.
I'd recommend Kelly to anyone who needs a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dogsitter. Kelly did an amazing job watching our two dogs while we went on vacation. She took the time to snuggle, hang out, and play with our dogs. She also made sure to send regular updates and photos, and went above and beyond what we asked. If you need a dogsitter, book Kelly ASAP!
I couldn’t be more grateful for Sophia and her care of my dog Hippo while I was away on a trip to Houston. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring — exactly what you want when entrusting someone with your pup and home. Sophia and her boyfriend were amazing with Hippo. They took her on regular walks, made sure she was safe in public, and followed her food regimen to a T. It was clear they genuinely cared about her well-being. On top of that, Sophia went the extra mile to ensure my bungalow was secure and looked after — a huge relief while traveling. 11/10 service — would absolutely book again!
