“Meric was awesome with my little Morty. It’s the first time I used a dog sitter and Morty is pretty timid around strangers, but he warmed right up to Meric. Meric was respectful of my home and sent updates throughout the day - thanks Meric!”


“Sofya was excellent! She’s super friendly and stayed in communication with me the entire time—sending cute pics and updates. On top of that, she left my home super tidy. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter! :)”


“We had a great experience with Fernando. It was our first experience with Rover and the first time leaving Oscar with a sitter, so we were nervous. Fernando put us at ease from the initial meet and greet. He was super responsive, punctual, and took the time to really learn about Oscar’s habits. He sent numerous updates and photos each day, so we never wondered how things were going. Oscar also takes multiple medications, and Fernando handled that seamlessly.”


“Elias was great with my dog. He followed all the instructions I left and gave me piece of mind while traveling. Would definitely book with him again.”


“Alexis was an amazing pet sitter overnight for my dog Stewey. Right from the beginning she went above and beyond bc I had a complicated scheduling situation and she was able to manage all of it like a pro. My dog loved her right away and she has a gentleness that makes you feel totally confident that she will do a great job. She is empathetic, caring and smart. Our communication was also top notch sending updates and when she had a question. In every way it was a great experience and I will book her again in a heartbeat the next time Stewey needs a pet sitter. Thank you Alexis!”


About: I’m dependable and reliable, attention to detail is my jam and I’m comfortable walking with small and big dogs or taking care of cats, even if it takes a while to warm up to a stranger in their home/space! even the most prickly cats eventually get won over! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is flexible! I love being able to walk and get outside or stay indoors to hang out with cats and dogs! I live with a disabled cat so making sure the apartment is safe and cat-proofed is key, and when pet sitting I make sure all escape routes are secured, feeding times and walk times are kept to schedule, and that there’s always room for play time!


“Diana was great! She came through in the clutch after we had a last minute sitter cancellation. She spent quality time with Dinho multiple times a day, called right away the one time Dinho was acting up, and was easy to coordinate with. Would definitely book her again!”


“Rachel was great with our beagle puppy, Archie! She took excellent care of him, kept us updated, and left our home spotless. Highly recommend!”

We highly recommend Leslie and we will be booking with her again on future trips.
