I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!

Carol was wonderful with our dog, Brutus, while away on business trips. She was super comfortable with him, very experienced with a range of dog behaviors and medical issues, and provided frequent updates and photos. I would leave Brutus in her care any time and know he’s in great hands!

Gabi did a fantastic job taking care of of my dog! My dog is reactive and doesn’t do well with strangers, but she loved Gabi! Gabi was very gentle and patient with her and made sure to communicate with me about how my dog was doing, which gave me peace of mind. She was a respectful house guest and an excellent pet sitter, I will definitely be booking with her again and can’t recommend her enough!

Steven took such amazing care of my difficult senior Labrador. Steven had such patience and compassion during his first Sitting and my dog warmed up quicker than ever. He buttered him up with some mini cheeseburgers and even scratched my senior’s ears till he calmly fell asleep. I am forever grateful for Steven’s level of care and understanding to our fur babies.

Karachi was one of the easiest sitters we’ve ever had for our senior dog! He requires some special instructions and she followed them to a T. She left our home spotless and we returned to a very relaxed and well-taken care of pup. 10/10 would recommend Karachi for any pet care needs!

Carmen was wonderful! We had an out-of-town family emergency and needed a sitter on very short notice. Carmen jumped right in and took excellent care of our very human-centric kitties and kept them fed, played with, and very relaxed when we got home. Will definitely use her again!

Allison did a great job with our two dogs over a long weekend. She was very responsive and accommodated a meet and greet on short notice. The dogs warmed up to her right away and were able to head out of town with our minds at ease. Allison was very responsive and kept us posted with updates and photos. We came back to a clean house and happy dogs! Will definitely look her up again when we need a sitter.

Mark was fantastic in taking care of Cuddles while we were gone for 2 weeka. He was such a great friend to Cuddles, very responsive in his communications and respectful of our house. 2 weeks were very long time to be away from our pup but Mark did everything that put our minds at ease. We will definitely book him again.

Alex is the best. He stayed at our house while we were away for the weekend. Our dog, Luna, loved him from the first meet and greet (dogs know). And he was also great with our shy cats. He worked to keep with their routines, walking Luna where she wanted to go, doing what she was used to doing. We look forward to having Alex back.
