1. Annika R.


“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


2. Hannah J.


“Hannah was great with our kids. Attentive and understanding of our senior Mastiff's limitations. Responsive to messages and very down to earth and personable during our meet and greet. Definitely recommended and we will be bugging her again for future trips. Thank you Hannah.”


3. Maciyah D.

“Miciyah was so lovely to work with. She took care of my elderly cat at my home for 1.5 weeks while I was out of town. She sent lots of cute pics and even left me a Polaroid photo. She made everything really easy and I could tell my cat was happy and well taken care of when I returned.”


4. Randi K.

“Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!”


5. Jj W.

“JJ has house sat my cat Millie numerous times this year and has truly always gone above and beyond! Every time, JJ has been super respectful of my home, has been very responsive, and sends plenty of helpful updates. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!”


6. Ashton B.

“Ashton was very accommodating and treated my 3 year old Corgi very well. Very professional and timely. Highly recommended! Will definitely utilize her services again.”


7. Erik M.

“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”


8. Hanan A.

“Hanan was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last second before the holidays and she stepped right in no problem. We’re very particular about who watches our Zuko as he can be a lot to handle for some but wow did she do great! Between watching our house and Zuko and taking care of our fish too, she definitely knows what she’s doing. She even had her own puppy boot camp for Zuko! He’s got a few more commands up his sleeves and really is even more well behaved than when we left. Thank you Hanan! Have an amazing new year and we look forward to using your services again soon!”


9. Kathleen C.

“Katy took great care of my cat and home! Would book again any time. Thanks! :)”


10. Allie K.

“Allie was so kind and generous with her time with our pups. I felt completely at ease having her in our home caring for our two dogs. She also went out of her way to clean up a bit at the end of the sitting stay which was above and beyond. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”


11. Karley M.

“Karley was very professional and provided excellent care for our dog Millie. She was prompt with communication and provided regular updates while we were away”


12. Kayla M.
“Kayla is wonderful! She took such great care of my dog for a housesitting visit and left my place as i left it, clean and cared for. Thank you Kayla!!”


13. Brianna B.

About: I've been around pets my entire life; my family has always had cats and dogs in our home. I love caring for animals, as pet care is something I've always been exposed to. Having grown up in a household with animals, I've familiarized myself with general pet-related care to ensure animals are both relaxed and taken care of. I have some rescue experience, and am always looking to create a safe, comfortable environment for any pet I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and am more than capable of curating and sticking to a schedule that is reflective of your needs. I'm also more than open to working early mornings or late nights! I've preformed dog-sitting and cat-sitting duties in the past successfully, and am very comfortable around new pets! I come from a family of animal lovers. I'm extremely grateful to have grown up in such an environment, as my family's love of animals has certainly rubbed off on me! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet's unique needs. I respect routines and surroundings, keeping the pet’s environment familiar to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, keep the home tidy, and make sure the pet feels secure and well-loved throughout the stay. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own.


14. Nicole R.

“Nicole is wonderful! She was so kind, thoughtful, and full of energy and love for our precious fur babies. She took the time to get to know us before our stay and kept us updated with notes and pictures while we were away. I could not recommend her more!”


15. Dylan J.
“Dylan took such great care of my dog—attentive, responsible, and so loving. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter or walker!”


16. Madrona P.
“Madrona has been such a calming and consistent presence for my pup, Chai. She’s an anxious dog by nature, but she warmed up to Madrona almost immediately—and now gets so excited every time she sees her. From weekend stays to daycare and daily walks, Madrona has cared for Chai with so much patience, attention, and love. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely understands what it means to care for a nervous dog. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone I trust so fully with Chai.”


17. Thomas S.

“Thomas was incredible. He took excellent care of Louie and kept me updated throughout the trip!”


18. Erica T.

“Erica was so great with our 2 dogs. Both dogs needed meds and have some medical issues. She took such good care of Ottikar and Piper and when we returned both dogs were calm and the house was immaculate! Thank you Erica! Excited to have you watch them again.”


19. Sofia F.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. For the past 5 years I took care of my senior dog until he passed at 17. I have experience with senior and sick pets. Provide medication and a lots of attention. Very patient and loving. I work remotely. I can stay with your pet all day and provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. I can take breaks during the day for walks, and they can sleep in my bed at night. I have a large fenced back yard. No children or other pets in my house. I live alone and work from home. I will provide plwnty of attention and play time.


20. Kira L.
“I think that Kira would make a really great pet sitter. I was living with her when she got her own puppy, and she always took excellent care of him- making sure she was doing her research, taking him to training classes, buying the right type of food, switching out the food if it didn't seem to be the best for him, taking him to the vet regularly, making sure that he got enough enrichment and exercise. We had two other roommates and it would have been easy for her to ask us to share in some of the responsibility, but I don't remember her ever doing so- she was up for the responsibility and made sure that she had the time to take care of everything. Her puppy grew into a great, well-trained dog. She has also watched our friend's dogs in the past and I'm always impressed with the care she takes. A particular friend's dog has a lot of energy and Kira will go on longer walks and runs than she usually would to make sure he's getting enough exercise and play time. I don't think there's anything Kira couldn't handle.”
