1. Lucinda Z.

“Lucinda was very attentive to the unique needs of our elderly dachshund. We appreciated her flexibility, communication, and her updates while she watched over our pups and our home. I would recommend Lucinda to anyone in need of a dog sitter or house sitter (or both).”


2. Catherine S.

“Catherine helped us leave worry behind on our long weekend trip. I appreciated Catherine's quick communication, cute update pics, and enthusiastic care. My biggest hope for a dog sitter is that they feel a connection and build trust with our sometimes timid dog, and I think Catherine really took the time and effort to do just that. We are looking forward to next time!”




3. Anthea F.

“Anthea communicates promptly and professionally. She was on time for our first meet-up prior to petsitting and arrived early for our sit so that our dog would have the smoothest transition possible. She took excellent care of our pup, exercising him multiple times a day and giving us regular updates on his mood and behavior. She provided us with lots of pictures and he was clearly having a great time. If he could talk, I'm sure he would have told us to stay a couple of extra days so he could have more fun with Anthea! She has a great understanding of dog body language and was easily able to help him feel comfortable quickly and know what situations were working for him and when he was feeling more hesitant. We couldn't be more pleased!”


4. Bryan G.

“Bryan was a wonderful house guest, he kept my mind at ease about leaving my pets at home through lots of updates. We came back to a clean home and happy pets. Would recommend for house and pet sitting!”


5. Rachel S.


“Rachel did a great job taking care of our energetic 3-year-old doodle and our home. She sent us a daily picture as well. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks Rachel!”


6. Chardonay D.

“Chardonay did an incredible job watching our dog and home while we were away! She gave him a ton of love, kept his normal rhythm intact, and was communicative and provided updates and pics along the way. Highly recommend and would trust with our pet again.”


7. Heidi J.

“Heidi was awesome with our kitty cat Stitch! Daily updates and pictures, super loving to our boy and left everything spotless at the house. Stitch seemed so happy and relaxed upon our return which was such a pleasant surprise since he tends to get stressed when we travel. Highly recommend and will definitely hope to book with Heidi again in the future.”


8. Frank G.

“Frank was wonderful for our senior dog and two cats during a full-weekend overnight stay. They were highly communicative before the visit and sent pictures we loved! Our dog got all the medicine and walks he needed. Our boys were in safe hands with Frank!”


9. Vannari S.

“I highly recommend Vannari for all your pet sitting needs. Vannari gave us peace of mind taking care of our cats in our home while we were out of state. She took time to let the cats get to know her, she wanted to keep to their schedule and make the transition less stressful on the cats. She sent us updates and photos often. We could tell she kept their litter bins, food and water dishes very clean! We were impressed. We came home to a sparkling clean home, happy and healthy cats, and clean litter bins, food&water dishes. Thank you Vannari for taking such good care of our cats and our home! You truly went above and beyond.”


10. Lillian H.

“Lillian was terrific with my pup. He was even recently neutered and required special attention and Lillian was able to accommodate us. I was very thankful!”




11. Alexander G.



“We love Alex so much! He does a phenomenal job with Dasher and is just the best dog walker in all of St. John’s! Thank you for all that you do … :) …”


12. Shabnam B.

“Shabnam is amazing and a super sweet person who is easy to get along with. She took EXCELLENT care of my dog Kona, my cat Mouse and also our home. She stayed at our place while we were away to Mexico for 5 days. Kona got walks and playtime and also got to sleep with Shabnam too. What a spoiled dog! lol Mouse enjoyed the attention Shab gave her like brushing and playing with her feather wand. We came home to a cleam house and two happy animals. She honestly deserves the 5 stars and then some. If youa re loking for a great sitter, give Shab a call, you will be VERY happy you did! I would use her services again in a heartbeat. :-) Thanks Shab! Kona and Mouse says thanks again too. ;-)”


13. Alexis S.

“Was available to house sit during Christmas week, which is very hard to find!! My two cats (one senior, one kitten) were very happy to have company while I was away, and it was nice to know they were being taken care of! Thank you!! :)”


14. Paul O.

“Paul was an absolute dream of a puppy sitter for our little guy. He was extremely professional, kept in contact with updates, and was respectful of our home and specific request. We will be using Paul from now on!”


15. Lisa S.


“Lisa has been such a great find! We spent two weeks abroad and worried terribly about leaving our 15 year old dog! She has always stayed outside our home for trips before, but now she is getting too old. I interviewed at least 3 people and really liked LIsa. She was with Chloe the majority of each day and night while we were gone. I got tons of great texts and photos of my pup while I was gone, which I really appreciated. It is hard to enjoy yourself on vacation while you are worrying about your animals. Thanks again Lisa for all you do. Maura Ahearn & Allan Dushan”


16. Megan N.


“Megan was great! Our Benny enjoyed her company and she did a perfect job with giving his medicine and walking him. We will def reach out to her again soon!”


17. Crystal K.
“I met Crystal when I moved to her neighborhood quite a while ago. I had a difficult dog that not many understood. Crystal befriended my pup right away and then became our beloved pet sitter. I always felt comfortable with her in our home and knew our dog was very well cared for. We no longer live near each other and I've recent lost our Nakita, but Crystal and I will stay friends forever. I would easily recommend her to anyone.”


18. Chelsea Z.

“Chelsea was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and sent pictures without my even asking for them. My cats were chill and happy when I got home, a sure sign that they had a good time, and Ruby even slept up on the bed with Chelsea one of the nights I was gone! High praise in this house. I'll be hiring Chelsea again no question.”


19. Alicia P.

“Alicia treated my dogs as if they were her own! I had such a great sitting experience. Great communication, she handled my dog with trigger issues super well, and kept me updated. I always get anxiety about my pups but didn’t feel that at all with this sit, I even extended my stay! I will 100% be booking with Alicia again as long as she’s sitting!!!!”


20. Johnny K.

“Not only was Johnny on time with arrivals and departures and shared wonderful photos of our pups but we came home to a clean home. This has not always been our experience with other dog sitters and was one of the nicest surprises. The girls loved her and so do we!”
