ZaNai was great with my dog Charlie—super caring and reliable. She even cleaned up my place, which was such a nice surprise to come home to. Highly recommend!

Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!

Eyowyn took excellent care of our critters while we were away. She followed the directions we left, gave our dog his eye medicine, made sure to give them attention, and gave us updates to let us know all was well. I would book Eyowyn again without hesitation to house sit our dog and cat!

William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future

I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!

Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!

About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! I am not in season for volleyball and I am on summer break until August 15. I am taking summer classes this summer so I am not available Monday-Thursday 11:30-1:30! I will plan to drop in before and after my classes though! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!

Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.

McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!

I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations. She was extremely communicative, followed our specific care instructions to the letter, and took wonderful care of our cat and dog. In her home visit beforehand, she asked specific questions that showed she was listening and cared about corrective care. When we returned, not only were our animals happy to see us, but they seemed completely at ease - as if we’d never left. The house was just as we left it, and she even took care of thoughtful little details, like refilling the water pitcher we use for their bowls. You really can’t ask for more when trusting someone with your pets.

About: Not every dog can stay with just anyone — and I understand that. I know first hand how hard it is when the 1 person you trust is unavailable. I have a stranger danger dogs of my own, plus a senior with medical needs. I have 8 years of dog experience and 3 years as a vet tech. I love the dogs that need extra patience, understanding, and experienced handling. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous, elderly, high-energy, or has medical needs, I provide calm, judgment-free care and keep their routine as stress-free as possible while you’re away. There’s no better feeling than adding another person to the list of people you trust with your pup. I work 8–4 four days a week with a mid-day potty break to make sure your pup gets care and attention during the day. On my days off, I like to really make the most of the time—whether that’s couch cuddles and chill time, enrichment activities, or a hike for the more active pups. Pups are never left alone more than 4-6 hrs. I always respect clients home as my own and always do a quick tidy before leaving from the stay. I also don’t mind any additional things you need done while you are away such as bringing in the mail or watering the flowers.

We are forever grateful for Kerry’s diligence and caring for our cat and dog. Called out of town on an emergency basis, we were desperate to get a good person to manage our two family pets. Kerry showed initiative, caring and considerable knowledge about how to care for our anxious dog and big cat. We would hire Kerry again in a heartbeat.

Tiana is the ultimate professional. I almost had to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances. She handled it with understanding, grace, and patience. I’m glad I was able to make alternate plans and keep my booking with her. She was early to everything related to the booking which shows how serious she takes her job. I made a short notice decision to come home early and Tiana responded and adjusted well to that also. She made sure the puppies were taken care of and everything in the house was in order so I can just go straight to bed.
