“Max took great care of our very large (150lb) dog Lenny while we were away! He is a speedy communicator and provided frequent updates, which we appreciated. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. We would recommend Max to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“John was so very courteous and kind to help out our family at the last minute due to my mom's hospitalization. He was very understanding of our need to be with my mom, and did a wonderful job of caring for Sherlock, our English Setter, who is such a total couch potato. Turned a stressful experience into an much appreciated family time with my mom.”

“Lauren was very communicative, left the apartment extremely clean, followed instructions, and took good care of our dog. When our trip got extended by a few hours, Lauren was very understanding and accommodating of staying with our dog a bit longer to close the gap. My neighbor also reached out saying that she saw Lauren with our dog in the hallway of our building and that she was doing a great job with her. Overall, we would definitely hire Lauren again!”

“Meghan is truly the best! This was our second time booking her to stay at our home with our three large dogs, and once again she exceeded expectations. She was incredibly communicative, sent daily updates, and clearly went above and beyond to spoil the dogs and make them feel loved and comfortable. It was obvious from the updates that they were in great hands, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We trust her completely and would book her again without hesitation.”

Jeffrey was fantastic. This was our first time using a dog/house sitter and I felt totally comfortable leaving our nervous pup with him. He watered the outdoor plants and kept them alive during a ridiculously hot long weekend. And he was really flexible when thunderstorms delayed our flight and we thought we might not get back that evening. We're so grateful for his work!

Lauren was an absolutely terrific Dog Sitter!! She was genuinely excited to be with our 3 fur babies, treated them as if they were her own, asked lots of questions and followed our directions to the letter. One of our pups had a medical emergency and Lauren could not have been more attentive and caring and compassionate. She went out of her way to take our pup to the vet, made sure he had all of his medications, and then ultimately taking him to the vet emergency hospital, all the while, caring for our other two pups as well. She went above and beyond and we are eternally grateful. She’s the best!

Lakshmi was wonderful with Rafa over the 4th of July weekend! We met before the stay, and Rafa was so excited to meet her. Like many dogs, when we left for our trip, he was a little cautious at first when we weren’t home, but it didn’t take long for Lakshmi to earn his trust. They quickly became buddies. Communication was excellent from the moment she got to our home. We received an update and photo right away, followed by plenty of pictures throughout the stay of Rafa walking, playing, relaxing, and just being his goofy self. She even renamed our group chat with my husband in the cutest way, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our home was also well cared for. Everything was neat when we returned, the trash was taken out, we were told exactly where the keys were left, and we received one last photo and update before departure. As a vet tech, Lakshmi is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing Rafa was in good hands and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate sitter.

Chris was a great sitter for our two pups, taking particularly good care of them during a firework-heavy 4th of July holiday weekend. He was communicative, responsive to the pups’ needs and schedule, and also took good care of our house. Looking forward to having him watch Bentley and Simon again soon!

Jessica was fantastic! She did a phenomenal job taking care of our 3 dogs (including an energetic puppy), taking care of our home, and keeping us updated with texts and photos while we were traveling. Based on our experience, we would absolutely book Jessica again in the future!

Juliet was a great and communicative sitter! We were worried about how our cat would do over the fourth with lots of nearby fireworks, and Juliet checked in with us throughout the weekend confirming Bella was okay. She was flexible with our somewhat complicated key system and very respectful of our space. Highly recommend!
