“Monday is extremely kind and responsive and took incredible care of our cat, Bug, and sent daily updates and photos. she also cleaned the apartment for our return :-) i absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“Meagan was on time, took great care of our sweet girl and left our home tidy. She is very conscientious about care instructions and did all we asked including medication administration. We would not hesitate to hire again!”
“Skyler was great! Did an amazing job taking care of our pups and keeping the house in one piece. Communication was on point, sending updates each day. Would definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommended!”
“We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.”
“Kayla was such an attentive and communicative sitter. She took great care of Rocco taking him on walks and giving him lots of pets! We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.”
“Chardonay and Ben were fantastic with our pups! They gave updates throughout the day with lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my reactive pup in their care. Both puppies were tired when we got home and the house was so tidy!”
“I booked Helen to stay at my place and cat sit for 4 days. She communicated well, provided consistent updates, and took great care of my cats and my place. I had peace of mind for my trip. Definitely recommend!”
“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon was awesome! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat, kept the house in great shape, and communicated clearly throughout the weekend. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend her.”
“If could give Olivia a 10 star review, I would. Olivia is the best of the best. We got home and she had made a special GF treat for us, she drew little pictures of our puppies and had some flowers on the counter. I can't say enough amazing things about her. Our dogs absolutely loved her immediately and she really went above and beyond for us and them. We have one special needs puppy and the other one was recovering from an injury. She took it all in stride and went with the flow. And, she text us pictures and updates daily, sometimes multiple times a day. She is the absolutely best person I have ever found for pet sitting and I have hired quite a few people. On top of this, she is also kind. Do yourself a favor and hire her.”
“Michael was wonderful with our two senior dogs. He kept in constant communication with us and sent us lots of videos and pics. He took great care of our house as well. We hope to work with him again!”
“Clark took excellent care of my two dogs and communicated well throughout the entire process of booking and the stay itself. Thank you Clark, hope you’ll come back and see Daisy and Ziggy.”
“Savannah did a fantastic job as our pet sitter. She took such great care of our Great Dane, Lulu, and our cat, Prince, and it was clear they were in good hands the entire time. Her communication was outstanding, and we really appreciated the regular updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. Savannah went above and beyond to be helpful and attentive to our pets. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Sparkle does a fantastic job caring for my high needs geriatric boxer pitbull. They are trustworthy, very diligent about medical needs, and easy to communicate with.”
“Elizabeth spent 10 days at our house with our two dogs. She was fantastic in every respect. Lots of communication and pictures. She was obviously great with our pups (they told us as much when we got home) and the house was cleaner than we left it. Highly recommend.”
“Lucinda is responsive, trustworthy, and flexible. She has stayed overnight at our home with our dog and cat, and she’s wonderful with them. I’ve had difficulty on occasion with the Rover app and Lucinda went out of her way to contact Rover herself and help me. She goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Lucinda.”
“Second time having Déy stay with my shy senior cat Norman! I appreciate their patient approach with him and excellent care of my home, as well as being in daily communication with me. Recommended!”
“Serena was incredible! I loved getting daily updates and photos of how my boy Chance was doing. I could tell how happy and relaxed he was with her which made traveling much less stressful. I will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Anna was wonderful, we were gone for about a week and she sent updates and pictures of our dog Roxy every day and told us how Roxy was doing, I felt she got great treatment. Anna went I up and above in keeping the house clean and even did the laundry. I would recommend Anna for any dog sitting job, my dog just loved her. Thank you Sandy Lackington”
“I cannot say enough good things about Elizabeth! My two tuxie cats have not spent a night alone since I have had them. This was a test run with someone new and they really took to her! Elizabeth did a phenomenal job taking care of my fur kids while I was away in Seattle celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday. I got regular updates and very fast responses when I would check in. She left the place tidy, washed the sheets and remade the bed and was willing to wait hours passed our “end” time because I got stuck in terrible Seattle traffic getting home. I will definitely be contacting Elizabeth for my next out of town adventure and you should too!! She gets all the stars. ⭐️”

William did a great job watching our energetic border collie for 11 nights. She can be anxious when we leave so it was a relief to come home to a relaxed, well taken care of pup. William also took care with our house, and left no messes, as well as laundered the linens they used. William was extremely quick to respond to any communications, both as we prepared to leave and while we were out. we appreciate the care very much and would be happy to recommend William and book them again!
Heather was fabulous! She stayed at our house with our 4 month old, high energy puppy - and I know he kept her busy! She spent a lot of time taking him on walks, playing with him and redirecting his wild puppy behavior. She was very communicative with lots of sweet updates, and took the time to come meet Ralph and spend time with him before her stay. Our house was left in perfect shape, and our pup is happy and tired. We’ll definitely be asking her back!
Déy was fantastic with our cat, Obsidian (Sid). They were responsive and communicative and I could tell Sid was comfortable around them from the photos they sent with updates. That made my partner and I feel at ease during our trip. They were flexible with leaving a little bit later the last day in order to make sure she wasn't left alone too long and had dinner. They also let us know that if there were any delays, they could stick around which was greatly appreciated. They also washed the bedding and remade the bed which was an absolute blessing after getting in late. The house was so clean and orderly and our cat was happy as can be. Déy was an absolute delight to have as a sitter and I couldn't recommend them more!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! He took excellent care of our three dogs and our cat while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. He was communicative throughout our trip, sending updates so we always knew our pets were happy and well cared for. When we returned home, the house was spotless and just as clean as we left it. It’s clear he genuinely cares about both the animals and the home he’s entrusted with. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter!
Luna did a great job looking after our crew! She communicated and asked questions. She even watered my garden every day! Our animals loved her! It was so much less stressful knowing we had her to look after them and our home and garden with no worries! Thank you so much! I have already planned to hook her the next couple of months!
We are so grateful to Hoopla for taking such wonderful care of our cats and home while we were away for a week. She stepped in on very short notice after our original care plans fell through just two days before our trip, which was an enormous relief. Our cats have very different personalities and care needs, including one with a complex medical condition and another who is quite anxious around new people. Hoopla handled everything with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. It was clear she took the time to understand their individual needs and make them feel comfortable. Throughout our trip, she sent multiple photos and updates every day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We always felt informed and confident that both our pets and our home were in great hands. When we returned, our cats were happy, our home looked great, and everything had been cared for beautifully. Hoopla was reliable, communicative, and compassionate from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we would gladly book with her again.
Mixie spent a week housesitting for me and caring for my cat when another sitter had to cancel at the last minute. I so appreciated her capable and responsive presence and will definitely have her back again. She sent updates and pictures and left my apartment clean and my cat happy. Five stars!
Madison was the best pet sitter that we have ever had watch over our home. She's done such a wonderful and thorough job watching our critters. She took extremely detailed notes, provided them with the tons of quality of time, and was extremely communicative. We will 100% be hiring for every future sitting from now on and she will be our go-to contact.
We hired Lynzi and Clara for two weeks to care for our ten year old dog and 14 year old cat. They housesat for us and watched over our animals and even watered my plants. Our dog is pretty neurotic and usually even more so after we have left her for a vacation and our cat usually yells at us for a good hour each time we return from leaving her. It was so nice this time to come home and have our dog acting like her normal self and our cat never once screamed at us but came over and loving sat on our lap. That said a lot about the care they received from Lynzi and Clara. We received updates all the time as well as pictures that showed our animals were in very good hands. That is such a good feeling. Thank you so much Lynzi and Clara for your good care of our animals. We hope you are available again to sit with them when we plan our next vacation.
I highly recommend Kayla! She is an excellent sitter. I really appreciate that she asked a broad range of questions about caring for our dog, and his preferences, before the first stay. There was constant communication and we never wondered how our older dog was faring because of the regular updates. We came home to a happy dog! Thank you, Kayla!
