4. Maciyah D.

“I can't say enough good things about Maciyah! She took care of my dog Vader and did an absolutely amazing job. From the moment I booked her, her communication was top-notch. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending plenty of pictures and videos. Maciyah’s genuine love for dogs really stood out. I felt completely at ease knowing Vader was in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her again.”


5. Hanan A.

“Hanan was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last second before the holidays and she stepped right in no problem. We’re very particular about who watches our Zuko as he can be a lot to handle for some but wow did she do great! Between watching our house and Zuko and taking care of our fish too, she definitely knows what she’s doing. She even had her own puppy boot camp for Zuko! He’s got a few more commands up his sleeves and really is even more well behaved than when we left. Thank you Hanan! Have an amazing new year and we look forward to using your services again soon!”

11. Brianna B.

About: I've been around pets my entire life; my family has always had cats and dogs in our home. I love caring for animals, as pet care is something I've always been exposed to. Having grown up in a household with animals, I've familiarized myself with general pet-related care to ensure animals are both relaxed and taken care of. I have some rescue experience, and am always looking to create a safe, comfortable environment for any pet I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and am more than capable of curating and sticking to a schedule that is reflective of your needs. I'm also more than open to working early mornings or late nights! I've preformed dog-sitting and cat-sitting duties in the past successfully, and am very comfortable around new pets! I come from a family of animal lovers. I'm extremely grateful to have grown up in such an environment, as my family's love of animals has certainly rubbed off on me! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet's unique needs. I respect routines and surroundings, keeping the pet’s environment familiar to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, keep the home tidy, and make sure the pet feels secure and well-loved throughout the stay. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own.


12. Kayla M.

“Kayla was an outstanding house sitter while I was out of town. She took great care of my animals and sent regular pictures and updates to keep me informed. She left my space clean and organized and I couldn’t even tell anyone else was there when I got home! Book with Kayla with confidence she will take great care of your pets and is incredibly respectful of your space.”


13. Erik M.

“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”


14. Ashton B.
“Ashton is a phenomenal, caring pet sitter. She’s trustworthy, communicative and will care for your pets and home. She watched our 3 cars and dog when we went on a last minute trip over spring break. Delighted she was available and willing to stay in our house for 6 nights/7 days. Home was clean and tidy, she went above and beyond to ensure kitchen was clean, bedding removed from the bed, and the house was locked up. Felt completely safe with her, and know our pets loved her based on the photos she shared daily. Highly recommend!”




15. Alex R.


“Alex is a highly skilled dog walker/pet care specialist. Highly intuitive and responsive, goes above and beyond to make sure that you and your furry loved ones are fully satisfied.Highly recommended. Looking forward to hiring Alex again regularly ??”


16. Casie L.

“Casie was a wonderful dog sitter for the weekend I traveled to Chicago! I was very nervous to leave my puppy alone for the first time; especially after his surgery. However, Casie did a wonderful job taking care of both my dog’s health and ease my mind by sending lots of updates. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


17. Kristina R.

“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”




18. Joseph O.


“Joseph was great - super easy to reach and communicate with, responsive, and immensely helpful overall. Followed all care instructions, took Lula to play with other dogs, and made sure she got her medicine regularly. Lula was sad when he finally left her! We'd recommend Joseph to everyone, and will likely be using him again!”


19. Delaney S.
“Delaney has been taking care of our dogs all their lives. She is caring and energetic! She loves all animals equally. She does great with all cats and dogs!”


20. Katherine S.

“Katie was fantastic! She watched our 2 high energy doggos and they were so good for her, they loved her so. She is very patient and experienced. Thanks Katie!”
