“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”
“This was our second time booking with G’la, and once again, she absolutely knocked it out of the park! She took care of our dog Finn and cat Tuna while we were in Mexico for our wedding, and knowing they were with someone they already loved made all the difference. Our boys adore her! It’s clear they feel safe, spoiled, and totally at home in her care. She kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins, and we came home to two very happy pets (and a clean house!). G’la is trustworthy, kind, and just really gets animals. We wouldn’t leave Finn and Tuna with anyone else. Five stars, every time!”
“Kerri was great! She took the job on short notice, was on time, professional, and let us know how our pup was doing throughout her stay. We look forward to booking her again in the future. ?”
“Cara recently took care of Ralphie when I had an unexpected dogsitter cancellation. It was awesome that she was able to come by for a last minute meet-and-greet - Ralphie really loved her and I liked that she is punctual, accommodating, and gave regular updates. I came home to a happy dog and a clean place!”
“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”
“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
“Cleopatra watched my cat for 5 weeks, I’m a first time pet owner and was leaving my baby for the first time, needless to say I was nervous! She was amazing from start to finish, super responsive, she sent me lots of pics of my very happy and spoiled cat :) If you’re considering booking with Cleopatra, I can’t recommend her enough. The peace of mind to know that my pet was in good hands was priceless!”
“Ariana is wonderful! She sends frequent updates and pictures and you can tell she really loves dogs. Our Boxer puppy Hank, loves her. She also kindly deals with my nuerosis about leaving him. Highly recommended!”
“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”
“Dennis did an awesome job caring for our special needs dog who suffers from DM. Our dog needs the assistance of a wheelchair for mobility, and Dennis took on the challenge confidently- with patience and understanding. He sent plenty of pictures and updates, and followed our instructions perfectly. I highly recommend!”
“Pups got superb care - could not have asked for a better sitter. Great and descriptive updates, and loving attention to detail. Has gained an incredible amount of trust from us!!”
About: Ciao! My name is Matt and I'm very excited to have the opportunity to meet you and some of the amazing pets we have here in the city. I currently live near the rose garden/Piedmont. I live close to several other parks, and I always enjoy meeting new pet friends that come my way. I really don't have many restrictions, but all I ask is that if you are interested in meeting to discuss my services that we have great communication (whether it's email, call/text, etc.) I work from home during the week and actively get outside myself, so I'm sure we could work something out if you need help with your pet! Comfort and exercise go hand-in-hand in my experience. Play time and treats are always possible. Companionship is a must and routine is our next best friend.
“William was highly communicative, responsible, and trustworthy for us as he houses sat for us for 6 days. He was also patient with our shy dog and made sure to put in the work to get him to warm up to him. William was frequent with walks and pics/messages to keep us in the loop. Hope to use William for future stays and definitely recommend him and his services!”
“Elisa did an exceptional job taking care of my dog, Freddy. She took him on multiple outings per day, fun hikes and adventures and gave him a lot of love. She is also an amazing communicator and sent us daily updates and summaries on each day’s adventures complete with photos. I knew that Freddy was in good hands the whole time. I look forward to using Elisa again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Charlii is an excellent pet caregiver! She has given lots of love and attention to my two dogs and one kitty while I’ve been on trips over the last few months. Her attention to detail in caring for my pets and my home while I’m gone is such a comfort. My furry family loves her! Charlii is awesome!”
“Melina has watched our puppies (and cat) several times now, and she is always such a joy to work with! Prompt, professional, kind, and most importantly-the animals are so happy to see her! Makes it much easier to be away when we have to travel.”
“This was my second time working with Zsa-Zsa and she was great! Her communication leading up to the stay and during the stay was thorough and detailed. My dogs were excited to see her when she arrived at the house; that’s always a good sign!”
“Shelly was a great sitter! She kept me updated with adorable pictures of Felix and made me feel at ease with leaving him home alone for the first time. She was dedicated to making sure Felix had everything he needed, thanks so much!”
“Michael took amazing care of our 5 month old high energy puppy and two cats while we were away! We received updates every day and he was easily reached. He was very professional and left our house better than he found it. Would 100% book again next time we need a sitter”
