3. Andrea D.


“Andrea takes such good care of our dogs - we just got back from a four day trip- Andrea sent us pictures and updates everyday on the dogs. I think they will miss her, so I feel bad for them now! As well as being great with the animals, she is very respectful of our home. Thanks again, Andrea! We are so glad we found you!”


4. Mackenzie J.

“Excellent communication. I felt my pups were safe and well taken care of with the daily detailed updates and photos. Came back home from my vacation like I had never left. I would definitely hire again. Thank you!”

Your babies are in great hands with this kind and compassionate person.”


6. Angelina A.

“Angelina is incredible!! She went above and beyond to connect with our dog Stella and shower her with love and activity while we were away. She took Stella on tons of walks and hikes, to the dog park, took amazing care of our home and garden (leaving it so clean for our return), and sent us tons of updates and photos of Stella which we appreciated so much. Angelina is super personable, trustworthy, conscientious, and Stella loved her which is always the best sign. We would ask Angelina to dogsit/housesit again in a heartbeat.”


7. Rachel S.


“Rachel was fantastic with my two dogs. I'm fairly picky about who watches my dogs, as most discerning pet owners probably are, and was immediately comfortable with leaving them in her care. She was very responsive, showed up on time, and could tell she actually liked dogs, which is kind of a prerequisite. Will certainly be using her services again!”


8. Michelle D.

“It's challenging to find someone I can trust my dogs with. Both are getting up there in age, and can be a bitt anxious with new people. Michelle is extremely patient and really seemed to understand how to read dogs. She even taught me a thing or two. Its great knowing I have someone to help out when I need it.”
9. Lauren V.
“Lauren is the best! She communicated well and was thoughtful and caring during all of our interactions. Otis loved her immediately and I felt 100% comfortable knowing he was in her very capable hands. The house was just as we left it and Otis was happy and tired. 10/10 would recommend!”


10. Jesus F.
“Jesus Flores is a fair and fun dog sitter always going out of his way to making sure my dog was well taken care of had adequate food and water had proper exercise while he watched him for me”


11. Monica T.
“I have been friends and colleagues with Monica for nearly a decade, she is trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring. She has watched my dog, Echo, on a number of occasions. Echo is high energy and has epilepsy- she requires medication throughout the day to manage her condition. Monica follows Echo's medication schedule closely, and Echo always comes home tired after playing with Monica's friendly dog, Phoenix. Echo adores Monica, and I know she's in good hands!”


12. Clair A.

“Clair house sat our home for a week and she was an absolute gem! She took excellent care of our dog, chickens and endless amount of plants. She sent us many photo and video updates, which we truly enjoyed. Thank you to Clair for taking such wonderful care of our home and critters ❤️.”




13. Luna R.

“Luna R has sat for my 3 fur babies twice now and she has done an amazing job both times. I know that while I am away, my animals are safe, healthy, happy, and so loved! She is the best!”


14. Kathleen C.
“Kathleen has a gift when it comes to animals! I’m convinced that my pets love her more than they love me. She had sat for/walked my dogs and my cat, and my experience with her has been nothing short of amazing. She is attentive and compassionate, and my pets are always sad to leave her after they’ve been in her care. All three of my pets are senior citizens with special needs, and she is very skilled at dealing with their various needs and administering their medications. Beyond this, she is reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I highly recommend her, and I would trust her with my pets again without question!!”


15. Toni O.

“Tony was great. She communicated with me letting me know what things were happening and going on and sending me photos. The house look like no one had stayed here so she was extremely neat and conscientious.”


16. Anisa A.
“Anisa is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our dog like he was her own. She was great about following all of the instructions left, amount of time left alone, walk schedule, etc. She left our home in better shape than we left it. She sent updates with pics, which I loved getting. I would trust Anisa in our home with our dog anytime and always feel a peace that our dog is loved and cared for while we are away.”


17. Devan H.

“Went above and beyond for us during a family emergency. Even washed our sheets and made the bed so it was clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”


18. Brittany O.

“Brittany is a wonderfully kind and thoughtful sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and my home while I was out of town. She is the first sitter I’ve ever entrusted and I was absolutely delighted with her updates and photos. I came home to a happy cat and tidy apartment which looked exactly as I had left it. Brittany is a gem!”


19. Samar H.
“Samar is a wonderful caregiver for pets! She is kind, considerate, and extremely responsible. I've experienced her true connection to animals for years as she did an amazing job watching my pets. Your dogs will love her and I am confident she will be a great dog sitter for your beloved 4 legged fur ball.”
