We and our pets are so glad we found Alexio to fill our pet-sitting needs. We're pretty fussy about who takes care of our dog and two cats, and so we are pleased to see how comfortable they were with Alexio. He is very attentive to details and makes clear that he is committed to doing the best possible job of house-sitting. He went above and beyond our expectations in working with our dog and using his own knowledge and intuition to improve our dogs behavior. We definitely will be using Alexio in the future and will not hesitate to recommend him to others. Rich and Rebekah

Priya watched my very sick yet hyper puppy and my active 3 year old Aussie while I worked long shifts one weekend She made me feel so confident that my dogs were in good hands. They can be rather crazy and that didn't scare her off at all! Such a blessing!

Nancy is an ideal sitter. She was attentive to care instructions and comes with experience around fully trained service animals- a big must for me. At the meet and greet she took notes and instantly hit it off with my furry baby. Nancy is must if you want safe, fun and compassionate company for your pet. I appreciated the high level professionalism and occasional photo updates. Would highly recommend.

You gave us peace of mind--priceless--and we are grateful to you.

Alexis was the best! Our cat was relaxed and happy when we got home. All of the plants were in good condition (and there were a lot of them). The house was clean and neat. None of the directions we left about our old house threw her off her game. Also, Alexis is great about communication: just enough pet fotos and check ins. I would definitely ask her to come back and I recommend her to others.

Kathryn is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very responsible and communicative. She took great care of the cats and was attentive to the cats' individual needs. She was very conscientious about monitoring my cat who was having a health issue. She was also able to win over my other cat who does not tend to like strangers, which is no small feat. She is clearly caring, compassionate and attuned to cats' needs. She left the house in perfect condition. She demonstrated excellent problem-solving when there was a problem getting into my place. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Julia is such a sweet, kind, compassionate, patient, smart, rockstar! We adopted a large mix breed 3yr old dog, and she was excellent with keeping up his training during the overnight we were gone! He was a happy dog! She played with him a bunch, and long walks. She also kept our home very tidy! We are looking forward to supporting Julia’s business as much as possible! HIGHLY recommend!

Our two large, adolescent pups were in such great hands the 3 days and 2 nights that Anna was at our house taking care of them. One of them is a recent rescue and a bit reactive to new dogs, so Anna did a great job of taking them on separate walks. We received plenty of updates and were happy to hear that our dogs were so at ease around Anna! If we go out of town again and need a sitter for Poppy and Bramble, we definitely will reach out to Anna again!

Cassandra was fantastic. She clearly fell in love with my cat, and went above and beyond taking care of her. I would hire her again in a minute. She is very neat and tidy, she left the place in better shape than it was when I left it to her.She communicates well, she takes instruction, she ask questions, and, by the end, my cat clearly had made Cassandra a part of her posse.

Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Cub and parrot Rainbow while we were away. She was very kind and reassuring with Cub who has issues with anxiety, especially around other dogs and large moving vehicles. Even though parrot care was new to her, she succeeded in charming Rainbow and even endured his loud discussion of all things avian! Morgan also took care of our mail, dealt with a smoke alarm going off, kept us updated, and cleaned before she departed.
