“Rachel was awesome! Gus was cared for and we received many updates to assure us that he was in good hands. Gus was happy and loved for an entire week!”

“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”

“Crystal was amazing! Took the best care of my dog and cat while I was away, sent a bunch of photos and updates throughout the day of their adventures, and kept the house in lovely condition. I could tell she vacuumed before heading out which I SO appreciated when I got home from my trip! I’ll definitely be booking with her again if she’s available. Thank you Crystal, Pretzel and Beans miss you!”

“My shy senior cat Norman rarely trusts someone new as quickly as he did Lark. It was such a relief knowing he was not only in good hands, but enjoying cuddles, toys, brushing, and thoughtful care. That's a 10/10, from Norman and me.”

“Hollis was fantastic! I was in a crunch after a previous sitter had something come up. Hollis was accommodated Knox by making sure her other dogs weren’t in contact with him. Would definitely rebook with her.”

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

“Peter really helped us out in a pinch! We were going out of town and Momo wasn’t able to go to her usual daycare, so Peter stayed with her in our home. This was her first experience staying at home without us and she was definitely anxious and skittish the first day. But Peter was very sweet and patient with her. He took things slowly in order to get Momo comfortable with him. He sent lots of updates and pictures, which really put us at ease. He took her on daily walks, played with her, made sure she took her medication, and took such good care of her. Momo was in great hands and we can’t recommend Peter enough!”

“Our dog Harley is leash reactive, so we always think about that before getting a dog sitter for her. We’ve booked Chardonay multiple times, and we feel so comfortable leaving our dog Harley with her!”

“Kali took great care of our girls over the weekend and made us feel at ease. She was communicative, sent daily updates, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy pups and a well-kept home.”

“Alex is AWESOME. She took incredibly good care of our two doggos. She was super communicative and she left the house virtually spotless. Will absolutely be asking Alex to hang with our pups again!”

“Paul is the best! Our dogs are always tired (in a good way) and happy when we get home after hanging out with him and Arlo. He sends a lot of nice updates, pictures and videos, so we never have to worry about them while we’re traveling. 10/10!”

About: I have had pets for my entire life including my sweet Lola. Feel free to ask for pictures! I have been the pet sitter for friends and family for a couple years, and I have had experience with both cats and dogs. I would be very excited to take care of your loved ones! I am a college student on summer break, so my schedule is super flexible. I am available on weekends and weekdays, so if you need services during the work week I can cover that. I have a fenced-in yard and pet care supplies at home, and am great at learning your home setup and working with pets in their favorite environments!
“Eva was fantastic! She was able to help me out on very short notice for the Thanksgiving break. She was in constant communication with me the entire time and showed pictures of the pups hanging out with her at the house. She was house sitting as well and kept the house super clean for me to come back to. I will rebook again any time I need someone to care for my pups 👌🏼”

About: 30+ years experience taking care of pets since I was a child. Everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, fish, ferrets, are in my wheelhouse! medications, injections, or any other special needs or diets can be accommodated. I have a flexible schedule, so taking care of pets fits nicely into my day and routine. I love taking walks and spending time playing with pets of all shapes and sizes. I have pet friendly neighbors with an unfenced yard and secure entry. I take several walks everyday. I live near parks and the river, making strolls enjoyable for all.
“Lillian stayed at our house for six nights with our senior pup who needs extra care and attention. Prior to her stay we had meet and greets and were immediately comfortable with her. Walter (our pup) loved her from the start. While we were away she provided lovely daily updates and photos. We arrived home to a happy pup and very clean house. Lillian is kind, communicative and sweet. We highly recommend her!”


“This was our first time having someone stay at the house and couldn't have asked for a better caretaker for our Lucy or our home. We rolled in after a week away. I can't overstate the value of walking through the door to a happy dog and spotless home. Above and beyond!”

“Banana had a wonderful time with Heidi! This was our first trip since our baby was born and we wanted Banana to feel special so she wouldn't be left out. Heidi left our home looking better than we left it and kept us updated throughout our trip. We look forward to having Heidi stay with Banana again!”

“It’s Figaro’s 2nd time with Brianna. He got exercised well every day and was very happy. 😊 Brianna was very responsive and she sent me updates and photos frequently. Thank you so much!”

About: I am a pre-veterinary student who has grown up with pets my whole life! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and will eventually be attending veterinary school in the future. I have volunteered for over a year at a local humane society, working with both dogs and cats! I am a college student home for the summer, so I have a very free and flexible schedule. I love all pets and am excited to have a new walking/adventure buddy! I care for pets by prioritizing the pet’s schedule. I enjoy walks and playing with the pets, so I will make sure they get plenty of physical activity and attention.

Chloe was absolutely fantastic. She watched our reactive pup for 17 days and we could tell from her daily pictures that he felt comfortable and engaged with her. She also took amazing care of our house, including our yard which requires extensive watering. 10/10, 100 would recommend!

After watching our let’s a month ago for a short getaway, we knew Andrew would be an excellent pet sitter for our longer summer trip! Our dogs absolutely love him. He exudes a calm and caring demeanor which puts our pets and us at ease. We would use him again without hesitation.
Our cats Azzie & Holmes just adore Michael and Dipti, and I believe it’s because the feelings are mutual. M & D have house sat for us a few times and have provided drop in services on numerous occasions. The cats are always very happy when we come home, relaxed, and well cared for. Our house is always in great condition as well. We feel good knowing we have someone tending to our babies! We highly recommend them to care for your fur babies! 🐈

Chardonay and Ben were fabulous! Our dog adored them and we did too. They were professional, prompt and we had such a fun evening knowing they were looking after our dog. Chardonay was also great to communicate with during the planning and sent us cute photos while we were out. Definitely book these two if they’re available!

Nicholas was fantastic. He took great care of both our dogs and was a fantastic sitter. He was absolutely responsible with the dogs and our house. Super communicative and easy to work with. We got plenty of updates and pictures. I will plan to use Nicholas again. I highly recommend.

Couldn't have asked for better sitters! It was our first time away from our puppy Jasper and Dissaya and Young did a great job. They sent us so many great photos of him having fun and updated us frequently which helped us feel less anxious. They even did some training with him, truly going above and beyond what we expected.
Shana is incredible! Her and Ryan looked after Calcifer with so much love and attention, I could tell he was completely comfortable and happy in their care. Their communication and confidence made it easy to enjoy my trip without worrying about my little buddy back home. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog!

Jess did an amazing job with our two pups, one of which is a senior lab with health complications. She communicated throughout the stay and touched base with questions she had about our old guys care. We felt grateful to have Jess stay with our duo while we were gone and would happily book her again.
