Amanda did a great job with Skip. He's very reserved but she was able to give him his meds and send some pictures despite his efforts to the contrary. She was also willing to work with my schedule to get keys etc and was very responsive to my original booking request. Would definitely work with her again.

Noah was great, he was very patient in getting to know Abby and kept us up to date on the progress. Abby did warm up and they became good buddies. Noah was very low impact, the house was as neat as it was when we left. I would gladly have him come back!

Paul did an excellent job with our dog, 2 cats and fish, and our house! He was very communicative and sent us cute pictures while we traveled. He took our doggo on excursions (with permission of course!) The house was immaculate with linens washed when we returned. We would love to work with Paul again!

Ian was really great! Cormac has always taken a minute to warm up to people, but I did not expect him to take several days. Ian was amazing and patient with Cormac, he really did not push and made sure to communicate with me and make sure he was doing best by Cormac. Honestly, my only expectation because of Cormacs shyness was that he kept Cormac fed and walked. But Ian still went above and beyond, my first walk with Cormac was probably one of the easiest post sitter walks that I have been on. Without having to be told it was obvious that Ian followed all of cormacs on leash protocol. Could not have been more happy.

We feel so lucky to have had Sofia stay at our home and care for our pets. She did a truly wonderful job. The animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved, and we came home to a house that was spotless and beautifully cared for. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away, and her communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and kind. It made the whole experience completely stress-free. Sofia is responsible, trustworthy, and has a natural way with animals. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house care.

Bryn watched our golden terrier almost 3 years and our daughter 4 year old golden both with lots of energy. She took them up in the open space to romp around and to a water area for them to swim in. They both love water so this was a very special treat. Then the dog parks and walking were also on the list of their activities they did. They had a fun, packed doggie vacation while we attended a wedding. We feel our dogs were cared for and loved and had the best time with Bryn. I highly recommend her to anyone. We are now booking her a second time in 4 weeks!

We’ve had Adrian housesit for our 2 cats and new puppy twice over the past few months and both times Adrian was communicative throughout the stay, let us know about any potential issues proactively (pet not eating much, etc.), and just overall made us feel super safe leaving our pets—who don’t quite get along with each other yet—in someone else’s hands. We were especially grateful to Adrian for watching our puppy and keeping up with her house training and training in general, and we’ll definitely be repeat customers for as long as possible.

Jessica looked after our cat, dog and house for over a week while we were in Hawaii and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! She is communicative (lots of updates and photos!), responsible, and most importantly we could tell she went above and beyond to make our animals feel loved. She even took our cat to a follow-up appointment at the vet. We’ll definitely be using her again for our next vacation!

We were away for 2weeks and really appreciate having Elena stay with our dog at our home. Elena sent us photos & videos of Fritz as we asked and she was respectful of our request of not leaving him alone for > 5 hours at any one time. She also left our home in a pristine condition when we came home. We’d highly recommend Elena to care for your fur babies if you can’t be with them.

Jane stayed at our house and took care of our special-needs diva dog for three days. She did an amazing job of dealing with our dog’s separation anxiety, giving her all her medications and making sure that we were updated with lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. The house was neat as a pen when we got home, too. Highly recommend Jane and would definitely book with her again!

Truly incredible!! Paola is communicative, caring, active, and willing to go the extra mile. She cared for my home as well as she cared for my pups, and she communicated frequently with lots of pics and updates so I felt like I was never left in the dark with what she or the pups were up to. She was also vigilant of anything potentially bothering the dogs (like my pup licking his paw abnormally, or the wind making them anxious) and was always ready to give extra cuddles and playful distraction. You can tell she really loves dogs and is great and friendly to work with. 10/10 best sitter we’ve had so far!

We had a wonderful experience with Natalia! From the moment we met her we knew she loved cats and cared about our babies. We received such great photos and updates during our trip - it was so nice not to worry knowing the kitties were in good hands. She also cared for the little flower seedlings that I had planted right before our trip. Natalia was very communicative throughout her stay, asked good questions, and even changed a smoke detector battery for us. At the end of her stay, she left the house as clean as it was when she arrived (perhaps even cleaner!). We would definitely hire her again in future. We really appreciate her kindness, diligence, and care.
