This was the second time Cj‘s watched our doggo in our apartment while we were on vacation. Both times were perfect and we already booked Cj for another upcoming trip. He took great care of our German Shepherd/Husky mix and from the frequent updates we could tell that our doggo had a great time. Cj even coordinated perfectly when the apartment complex scheduled an unexpected maintenance visit.

Kavya has become our trusted sitter for our puppy. She provides helpful and thorough updates that allow us to feel secure with being away from our pup, and she has provided multiple tips to help with training! She’s very knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, and our pup flies out of our hands to greet Kavya every time they see each other which is a great sign!

Stephen really came through when my sitter had to cancel last minute. His detailed approach to pet care really put me at ease that Baeley would be in great hands while I was out of town. He did a great job following my instructions and communicating while I was away. Confidently recommend and will be seeking his services in the future.

Lucia used to be my roommate and was great with my cat, Bruce. She would also catsit him for me whenever I was out of town (sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time). Bruce always felt very comfortable around her, even preferring to hang with her over me sometimes :( She's also extremely responsive and made sure to keep me updated on what he'd been up to every day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.

Austin took care of our dog, Bailey, at our house for 11 nights. Austin is extremely diligent with great attention to details. Even before he took on the job, he asked detailed questions about our dog and how to care for him. He followed all our care instructions very well. Our dog had some anxiety at the start of the stay and Austin was very communicative about it. He gave our dog a lot of love and attention to make him feel better. Austin kept us updated throughout the stay and even offered to stay a little longer as our flight was delayed. Overall, we are very happy with Austin and would rebook him without hesitation.

I am always so glad to have Vicky to take care of my cat and know she will be in reliable hands. Vicky has looked after her for several trips over the years, the longest of which was one month. She paid careful attention to my requests about feeding schedule. She was also quite in tune with how my cat was doing, and my normally grumpy cat became affectionate with her too. Vicky kept me posted with photos and let me know what my cat had been up to. I came home to a happy cat!

Anjyla pet sat for our two large dogs. One is very timid and doesn’t like everyone so I was concerned about leaving her but within a day Anjyla had won her over with her daily and sometimes twice a day walks. She is extremely responsible and loving to our dogs which is why we have no hesitation having her care for them anytime we go away.

Katie house sat and kept my dog and cat while I was gone for several days. She took my dog on several walks during her stay and always made sure to send pics and updates. When I got home, the apartment was absolutely spotless and both fur babies were happy as could be. I definitely plan on using Katie again!

Clara is by far the most attentive and kind dog/house sitter we have had. She house sat my 8.5 year old dog who is hard of hearing and took such great care of him. I loved the frequent photos and updates. The house was immaculate when I came home. What a gift! Thank you Clara. I will definitely request Clara's help in the future.
