We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Reggie. Not only was he so well cared for and loved, but our home was too. Ellen truly went above and beyond in every way, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house! We are incredibly grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Rowan was great with Riley! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to a medical issue but luckily, Rowan was available. She was able to come the next day for a meet and greet. Riley took a little bit of time to warm up but she took it slow and let him come to her. I would definitely have her stay with Riley again!

Evyn was great with Doi. Doi was a bit sick last week, but she took care of him as per the instructions and even gave him the meds. Doi was definitely comfortable with her. I will definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs.

Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!

Brianna was awesome! She was very responsive and easy to contact both before and throughout the sit. I received multiple updates throughout the day, along with pics. I could tell that my boys were completely at ease with her which was so reassuring. I would absolutely recommend Brianna’s dog and house-sitting services and I will definitely be using her in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care for Our Dogs and Cat! Rachel is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough! We left her with a detailed care routine for our two dogs and our cat, and she executed everything flawlessly in addition to communicating in a consistent and professional manner. She managed all of their specific needs perfectly, from administering morning medication to carefully weighing out kibble on the food scale to support my dog's weight loss journey and adding their specific daily supplements. She also kept up with their strict routine of four daily potty breaks at our rooftop dog park , always making sure they were safely geared up in their harnesses. Our cat was equally pampered with daily wet food and perfectly maintained litter boxes. Rachel even took the time to familiarize herself with our emergency evacuation plans , including locating our cat's carrier, which gave us immense peace of mind while we were away for the first time since owning all 3 of these animals. It is so clear that Rachel truly cares about the safety and well-being of the animals she watches. We returned to our apartment to find three very happy, relaxed pets who had clearly been given top-tier care during her stay. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to treat your pets like her own, Rachel is the one!

Kristen was great from the meet & greet forward. At the meet & greet when I suggested a quick walk to shiw her where we go she took the leash and started harnessing Captain up. Was responsive, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. I set a cadence expectation on check ins and she went above and with pictures. You can tell she respected my home during the stay. The most important part of knowing she did a good job was that Captain, while estatic to see me, was mopey the next day and you can tell he misses Kristen already. I will 100% be utilizing Kristen in the future.

Taylor is a great pet sitter! I am a self proclaimed crazy pet parent and I get really nervous about leaving my pets with someone else. However, I didn’t worry at all when Taylor watched my dogs and cats. She took excellent care of them and they were happy all weekend! I will definitely be using Taylor again in the future.

We love when Cayla comes to stay with our pup, Oatmeal, who I secretly think loves her more than us. 😆 Cayla is always responsive sending so many pictures and keeping us updated every single day. We feel completely at ease knowing he is getting the best care and being spoiled rotten!

Natalie was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my senior girl in her care. She provided multiple daily photos and updates, which meant so much to me and showed just how attentive and caring she was. Natalie treated my dog like her own, and it was clear she genuinely cared about her comfort, happiness, and well-being. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. I highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a sitter and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Sienna did a wonderful job with my people-reactive dog and two socially awkward cats! This was the first time in over two years that I’ve been able to leave my pup with someone other than a close friend, and I was able to feel comfortable and relaxed knowing that he was in good hands! I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and patience Sienna put into learning how to best care for everyone, especially regarding my dog’s training and needs for his reactivity. All of the pictures and updates were great as well!
