1. Natalie J.
“Natalie was great! We really appreciated her flexibility and dedication. She was very conscientious with our home. And she took some great photos :)”
2. Jamie K.
“Jamie did an INCREDIBLE job caring for my dogs. I have a senior dog who requires a slew of oral medications and has a history of seizures, Jamie administered all her medications successfully and would message me each time they were administered so I could feel at ease. I also have a dog who isn’t trusting oof everyone at first and does nip, which Jamie was able to manage perfectly (even managed to put his cone on him after every walk!). Jamie was available last minute, which I really appreciated and even came to do a meet and greet a couple days before my flight. Apartment was left clean, with clean sheets and everything in order. Communication and updates were excellent. I have only positive things to say about Jamie and I can’t wait to have Jamie care for my pups again!!”
3. Andrew T.
“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!”
4. Jasmin L.
“Jasmine is fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Beau. She watched him at my home, was very attentive to his needs and took great care of my home as well. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the stay and very responsive. I would highly recommend Jasmine!”
5. Guillermo S.
“Guillermo saved us last minute when we needed him to house sit our dog. He was so sweet and caring with him and administered his insulin. He was so knowledgeable and took on his two shots of insulin for his diabetes and his meals and walked him. He’s amazing!!”
6. Fahad S.
“Fahad was wonderful with our two fur babies. He stayed in our home so they would be more comfortable. Fahad clearly has a love for animals and is a very kind person. I would highly recommend him and plan to have him stay with our dogs in the future.”
7. Sara A.
“Sara is wonderful! I have 2 high energy dogs and she took great care of them for several overnights. She has great communication, gives timely updates and sends cute pictures. Thank you Sara for taking great care of my home and pups!”
8. Kristen S.
“Kristen is a reliable dog sitter for my anxious dog Essie, and the only caregiver that she gets excited to see! Kristen is very responsive to messages and sends us update pictures of Essie while dog sitting.”
9. Frances & Julia H.
“Julia and Frances absolutely spoiled our pups! They took great care of them and gave so many snuggles. They sent us updates and pics every day. They were happy to come out for a meet and greet so we had time to get to know them before our trip. It made us feel better knowing there was a pair of people looking after our pups, in case anything happened. Very happy and will use Frances and Julia again!”
10. Raven R.
“I can’t say enough about Raven! She accommodated all of my last minute requests, like me forgetting to include the fish and adding medication to our dogs care. Our home was spotless upon our return and most importantly our very lonely senior dog was happy, healthy and content. We are grateful”
11. Jupiter B.
“Jupe has been amazing with my dog, Ellie! From daily walks to giving her so much love and attention, they always go above and beyond. I come home to a happy, relaxed pup every time. I couldn’t recommend Jupe more—they’re the best!”
12. Lea A.
“Lea has been wonderful with my dog, Diamond! Diamond can be a bit selective with new people, but Lea’s patience and warmth put her at ease right away. Lea takes the time to understand Diamond’s unique personality, from her love for park visits to her quirky habit of chasing after leaves. I love that Lea sends regular updates and photos, so I can see how happy and relaxed Diamond is with her. It’s clear that Lea genuinely cares, and Diamond absolutely lights up every time she sees her. I wholeheartedly recommend Lea to anyone looking for a dedicated, thoughtful pet sitter or dog walker. Diamond and I are so grateful to have her!”
13. Jacqueline C.
“Jamila was great with Murphy. He typically takes a minute to warm up to new people, but in this case was immediately comfortable, and soon snuggling. Jamila’s communication was perfect, and she made sure to ask before we left what level of communication is ideal, along with what type of information was helpful. Really appreciated her attention to detail and how thorough she was in making sure we felt reassured while she stayed with Murphy. We came home to a happy dog and well-taken care of home. Highly recommend, and Murphy is already looking forward to the next time!”
14. Cheyenne C.
“Cheyenne was amazing and my Buster seems to have thoroughly enjoyed her company this weekend! Daily photos/videos and written updates were provided by Cheyenne. Her kindness and affordability are unmatched!”
15. Jenna S.
“Jenna is always so amazing with my dogs! I have two dogs and she is a dog whisperer to both of them! She is extremely trustworthy with them and treats them extremely well! She is able to calm down my very energetic dog and handle him when he is off the walls! She is amazing!”
16. Colleen M.
“I highly recommend Colleen as a pet caregiver! She has watched our cats and dogs for several years, and we always feel confident leaving them in her care. She’s responsible, loving, and always goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are well taken care of. She fosters bottle fed kittens and has volunteered her time with Animal Rescue of New Orleans. To say that Colleen is an avid pet lover would be an understatement. Her genuine care and attention to detail ensure that every pet she watches feels loved and comfortable, and she always goes above and beyond to meet their needs.”
17. Allison M.
“Allison minded my two cats for 5 days, which consisted of her coming over to the apartment to feed them in the morning and evening, clean the litter once a day, and interact with them as much as she could. My two cats are quite shy but Allison was great and very patient with them, and sent me photo updates when they came out for her. She was very communicative with me and really conscientious with the cats - I’d highly recommend her, she’s lovely with pets and people!”
18. Joseph C.
“Joe is great. He is very professional and my dog loves him. I appreciate his prompt communication and feel very safe/good about him taking care of my dog/being in home.”
19. Christine C.
“Christine was very sweet and intuitive with our pets, especially our senior dog who needs a lot of care. She went above and beyond.”
20. Christine T.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Christine for over 10 years now, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most caring and compassionate person I have ever met. Christine has a genuine love for animals and dedication to their well-being. She has 4 cats of her own, to whom she gives her utmost love and attention to. She has also dogsat for me on numerous occasions and I have never encountered a single problem with her. Her attention to detail is also great! She always makes sure to follow any special instructions to the letter. Furthermore, whenever she does have a question or concern Christine does a great job at making sure to reach out to me as soon as possible, which I find to be an important skill to have—good communication. But it's not just her skills with animals that make Christine exceptional, it's also her personality. She is naturally the bubbliest person, and goes out of her way to help others. She is outgoing, motivated, and responsible as well. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Christine for this job!”
