“Josefa was amazing with my senior dog. My dog is reactive and anxious, and requires someone who’s patient, confident and kind — and Josefa is all of that and more. She’s extremely knowledgeable about dogs and animals in general, and I really appreciated how respectful she was about working at my dog’s pace and take cues from her. She also treated my apartment as if it were her own — everything was spotless and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Josefa again – I know my pup will be absolutely thrilled to see her again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, professional sitter who truly understands animals, and is willing to work at their pace.”

“Brenda was an amazing sitter! We met ahead of the petsit and she was very nice and great with Margie cat. During her stay, she sent updates about how Margie was doing, along with cute pics. We came back to a super clean apartment. Thanks so much for hanging with our lil critter!”

“Best sitter I’ve had!! Adri went above and beyond. She handled my 60lb very excitable puppy with such care, sent adorable photos with frequent updates and left my place spotless. Mr. Blue can be a handful and I felt so happy he was left in caring hands. We look forward to welcoming her back to dogsit anytime.”

“Meaghan was so great! She left my place clean and my cat Louie happy after house sitting for me. She was very responsive to my messages and gave Louie lots of attention and care.”

“Leila did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. Got daily updates/photos of them snuggling which made me so happy (and kinda jealous)! Leila was very responsible and attentive to her needs. Will definitely book Leila again!”

“Fiona did an amazing job with our Draco for the weekend. She took him on a ton of walks, communicated great with me and left our place clean. It was nice to be at ease on our trip and know she was taking care of our pup so well. I will absloutely book future stays with her.”


“Jenn took amazing care of our little Fig. We are so grateful to have had such a trustworthy, responsible and communicative caretaker to give us true peace of mind while we were away. Would definitely love to use her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Rebecca was great! She had very chill energy, which Slug must have picked up on—she was so relaxed by the time we got home! Would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a good puppy companion :)”


“Thank you Natalie for the amazing experience! I am new to the area and was looking for someone reliable and thank goodness I found Natalie! We had a meet & greet and I could tell Benny was immediately comfortable with her! She’s trustworthy and reliable! My flight got cancelled and she adjusted to new plans getting me out of a bind! Could not recommend her enough. Thank you Natalie - you’re the best!”

“Zack was very attentive all day with the puppy and stayed in contact all day. He was very responsive while setting up the appointment and was timely. Highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again soon!”

“Carmen was wonderful with Penny! She sent updates daily and Penny seemed right at home with her. She left our home spotless! Will definitely be using her again!”

“Priscilla is a fantastic house sitter. She is patient and communicative. She left our house cleaner than we left it. She walked and tended to our three dogs with ease. Highly recommended!”

“Teddy was awesome - we got phenomenal daily recaps and frequent communication. We felt super comfortable with Teddy and our pets (including a very unfriendly cat) were thrilled!”

“Melissa was so sweet and lovely with our dog, as well as very communicative and flexible with our fluid schedule. She even gave us useful tips for helping to train our pup. Highly recommend!”

“Eleni watched my senior dog at my home while I was out of town for 5 days and I felt confident the entire time that my pup was in great hands. She sent me plenty of updates/photos, asked questions when needed, and went above and beyond when my dog needed some extra care. Eleni is a gem and I look forward to hiring her again!”

“Razan was a great help when we needed to book a sitter pretty last minute. She came over for a meet and greet and was really thorough in her questioning and communication as it related to Hugo. While Hugo was in her care I felt very in the know of how things were going and knew he was safe! She kept our space very clean and was a great guest and sitter to have.”

“Rachelle has been our go-to dog sitter, and once again, she took great care of our dachshund while we were away for a week. She made sure he got his daily walks and potty breaks on schedule, handled his medication, and kept the house tidy, which we really appreciated. She also sent us regular photo updates, which eased how much we missed him. We’ve used her before and continue to trust her with our pup. Would definitely recommend!”

“I have a high needs dog. Lots of medications and some reactivity on leash. He was very attentive to all of her needs and did a great job of keeping her calm. He also sends very thorough updates with lots of photos!”

Heather was absolutely wonderful with our Archie boy! 🐶 He’s a very anxious pup, so leaving him with someone new can be stressful for us, but Heather immediately put our minds at ease with her photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly, highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eleni took excellent care of my senior dog, Ollie, who had some complex care instructions and needed medication three times a day. She was so patient with him as he adjusted to my absence and kept me informed about how he was doing. She also asked lots of questions about how to make him feel comfortable and even ran out to Petco to pick up supplies. I came home to a happy dog and a spotless apartment. Eleni is conscientious and so kind—I highly recommend her!

We had such a great experience with Josefa while we were away. She took incredible care of both of our senior dogs and our apartment. Before our trip, she took the time to do a visit above and beyond the meet and greet to make sure our dachshund felt comfortable with her, which meant a lot to us. Throughout the stay she was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was clearly attentive to our dogs’ needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I truly can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely be using her again in the future.
Jennifer is the best. We were gone 9 nights and were a bit nervous about leaving our elderly dog and cat for that length of time, but ahe was amazing. She was extremely communicative and it was very clear that our animals loved her. I really appreciated all of the photos she sent and the consistent updates and check ins. It truly made us feel so comfortable and reassured during our time away. Highly recommend!!

Meaghan did such a great job taking care of Gooby during three nights of housesitting. She sent us updates and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. Gooby was clearly comfortable with her (and very sad to see her go) - he can’t wait for her next visit!

Julia was absolutely incredible. She watched my dog for 5 days and I felt very confident that my dog was in the best hands. She was communicative throughout her stay and kept me informed on how my dog was doing, any changes in behavior, and sent me pictures daily. She left my home exactly as I left it and even cleaned up before she left. I highly recommend Julia to care for your fur babies.

Sadie did amazing with both cats, but especially with my older gent who needs 3 meds per day (oral, topical, inhaler) and has a complicated feeding schedule. Usually both cats are starved for attention when I get back (or so they say…) but they both were so chill when I got back — it’s clear they’d gotten lots of love while I was away 🩷

Giovanni was communicative, helpful and an amazing dog sitter and house guest. He walked the dog through all types of inclement weather, kept us updated, and left our place cleaner than we left him with - which is above and beyond. He is so kind and considerate!
