We are so glad we found Prabha! She was incredibly communicative and professional with us and was wonderful with our pup, Sunny. It’s clear she loves dogs and enjoys caring for them. She took Sunny out to play, managed his zoomies, and knew when he needed to go potty. Thank you for everything, Prabha!

Let me start saying that both my dog and I have separation anxiety from each other. I adopted Kiki during the pandemic, and she has pretty much been by my side all this time. When restrictions to travel started to get better, I started considering getting a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was going to be very challenging since Kiki does not allow anybody to walk her (except for family), or even to touch her, she would hide under furniture and would be impossible to get her out, she would also stop eating if I am not with her. So, I was pretty worried that I would not find anybody, and then we found Shamaurie and it was a miracle. He came quite a few times to meet Kiki before my trip, he asked all the right questions to get to know her and me, and she looked very comfortable with him which made me trust him even more. I left for my short trip thinking that probably Kiki was not going to allow Shamaurie to walk her, and she would spend quite some time without eating, but I was wrong, she ate since the first day (which means she was extremely comfortable with him), and by the second day she was walking with him! I could not believe it at first and then I felt so, so relieved. I received tons of cute pics and videos as well as detailed texts about what was going on, it was a dream, I cannot say enough good things about him. When I got home, everything was super clean, organized and, the most important thing, Kiki looked so happy. Shamaurie has an amazing attitude, he is patient, compassionate, and caring. I would definitely hire Shamaurie for my next trip.

Trisha watched our two dogs for 10 days and things could not not have been smoother. She sent daily pics and videos, and the dogs were clearly having a ball with her. Despite our two very messy dogs, Trisha had the house spotless when we returned. We definitely hope to book her services again when we travel.

Gilberto is our go-to sitter for whenever we travel and need to leave our dog Pinto at home. He is so patient when it comes to Pinto's energetic and anxious behavior and is able to get him more exercise and one-on-one time than sometimes even we are able to. Beto consistently provides photo updates of our dog when he watches him and communicates any potential concerns promptly. On top of that, he takes great care of our house and leaves the place better than we left it! Pinto is always so excited to see him and sad to see him leave Pinto is a large dog and can be quite rambunctious and needy. I had been nervous to leave him with someone else or at a boarding facility when traveling before, but now I know he is in the best hands with Beto!

Carlos was highly attentive and communicative about our cat’s care from the initial contact to the final day. Very interested in all aspects of her needs and care. The regular updates and pictures were a great touch. I could write a lot more, all of which would be positive, but I’ll keep it short by saying I will definitely use him again for cat sitting.

Timo was everything we could’ve asked for and more! I would most definitely highly recommend him to anyone!! He cared for our boys so much, brought them wheatgrass, brushed their teeth, played so much with them, and loved on them sooo much for us when we were gone. He was super communicative and so thoughtful, checking in on us and how our trip was going. When we returned to our apartment, it was more clean than we left it and he was even so thoughtful in even washing our sheets for us, even deep cleaning the apartment, and leaving us little treats. He was absolutely fantastic and we were so at ease during our trip knowing that the boys were under his care! He’s the best cat sitter ever!!

Anne did a wonderful job watching our dog and kitten in home while we were abroad for a week. I appreciated her constant communication, including daily photos and updates, and even taking care of all the kitten antics/mishaps. It gave us peace of mind to know our pets were happy at home and up to their normal routine.

Shamiso was absolutely fantastic and stayed in touch every step of the way. She was great with troubleshooting the funny little things that inevitably happen when you go on vacation, and the cats warmed up to her easily. They have a new friend for life! We felt our home and pets were I'm excellent hands and trust Shamiso explicitly. Thank you!

Kaye was outstanding! She stayed with my anxious pup for several days in my house. Basil was well taken care of and we received lots of updates. She took her on walks, had cuddles, and just hung out. Kaye also took such good care of my house while we were away, it was so clean when we got home which was very nice! We will for sure be using Kaye again, thank you kaye!!
