“Carlos was a great housesitter for my two dogs. Left the place cleaner than when he got there, dogs seemed happy and well taken care. Will definitely request his services again, and I recommend him if you're looking for a new sitter.”
“He was able to watch our dogs on a last minute request! Our dogs were in great hands and kept in contact about how our dogs were doing. Highly recommend!”
“Natalie was above and beyond amazing! She was great at communicating and kept me updated with lots of pictures. Both animals were very well cared for and didn’t even react to my return which is how you know she did a phenomenal job of tending to their emotional needs. In addition to their feeding and Snax’s walk schedule, she played with them tons and found humor in Snax’s habit of finding and carrying sticks on her walk. My apartment was super clean when I got back and she even left a cute note and treat. I super recommend her to anyone for in apartment sitting, especially if you have a cat and a dog combo!”
“Hayley was great with my senior dog and accompanying cat. It was great to get the check-ins while away and have the full confidence that the fur-kids were getting the best care. We'll definitely be looking for a rebook soon!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She sent photos and videos of our Dakota and we saw that our dog was happy and comfortable with her. Rachel took excellent care of Dakota and noticed that she was licking her paw/leg and let me know. She gave Dakota her medicine. I appreciate her attentiveness. Rachel left our home as clean when we left, which I really appreciate. We’ll definitely hire her again without hesitation.”
“Shannon truly loves doggies! I have 3 seniors, who each have their own set of medical issues… collapsing trachea, epilepsy, arthritis, allergies, severe separation anxiety just to name a few… so I agonize over having to leave them. Shannon made this recent trip so much easier. She loved each one how they wanted, as they are so very different… She walked the one that liked walking, rubbed the belly of the one who can’t walk anymore and gave the mamma’s boy, who is not overly fond of others, his space and loved him on his terms when he was ready. I received lots of photos and videos, which was so reassuring to know they were happy and well taken care of. Shannon kept me informed along the way with both the ups and downs, which was very much appreciated. She did not give up when my seizure baby would not take his medication and tried every trick in the book including running out to the store for some new temptations… I know it can be frustrating and also stressful knowing without the medication, he will have a seizure but Shannon loved him on his terms and kept trying until it all fell into place. Having Shannon for this trip was a game changer for sure and I am so thankful for her!”
“I highly recommend Piper! She is so calm, capable and professional with animals. Piper cared for my 2 cats and 2 dogs while I was away on a 5 day trip and, after the excitement of my return, they all settled back down quickly into routine. This let me know the attention and care she provided in my absence. Even my older cat, who generally hides from everyone, took to her right away. You can rest assured booking Piper for your pet sitting needs!”
“First time using Rover. Julie did a great job watching over Ruby. She was also very prompt in responding to messages. We came home to a happy dog.”
“Alexis was the best! We would totally recommend and can’t wait to use her again. She was so communicative and really went above and beyond. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and even washed and remade the bed before leaving. Brisket loved the snuggles and daily walks.”
“Sierra and Karinni were very communicative and professional. My dog is anxious and thus can be challenging to take care of, and they worked with me to make the overnight visit successful for him. Also left my house very tidy and the bed was made up nicely :) I would be happy to have them back.”
About: I own 3 dogs, a bird and a guinea pig. I treat every pet like family, because to me, they are. With a calm, patient energy and a genuine love for animals, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playful energy or quiet cuddle time, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in kind, capable hands. Monday-Friday I am available for your every need after 6 pm. Saturday and Sunday I can be available at any time of the day. Yes, ANY time of the day. You need me at 3 am!? No problem! I can accommodate to almost any of your pet’s needs. Please feel comfortable to communicate any and all the things you would like to see from me. Rest assured your dog is in the safest hands!
“Chloe is super caring and her love for doggies is clear. She took great care of our Buddy and helped him to feel loved and safe while we were away.”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat cuddler and dog snuggler with a super flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs a walk or your kitty needs company, I’m here to give them all the love, playtime, and belly rubs they can handle. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a pretty flexible schedule and free time. I will make sure your pet gets all the loving they deserve! Whether it’s a stay or just a check in, I’m here for them! When I stay in your home, my goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding, playtime, walks (for pups!), litter box or potty breaks, and of course, lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing!
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have a dog of my own. I know how much they mean to us and how much comfort we have when we know our pets are in good hands while we’re away. I am currently not employed and have a very open and flexible schedule. I am a reliable person with a dependable form of transportation so I am always willing to help! I will always treat your animals with care and respect, I know animals have their boundaries so going with their flow and schedule makes things easier for all of us!
“Andrea was friendly, accommodating, responsive, and shared lots of sweet photos of our pups while we were away. She went above and beyond and did even more than we asked of her, and it made the transition back home much smoother since our home was left in such great condition. I would certainly recommend and use her again.”
“Erika was responsive last minute and took amazing care of my pups while I was out of town! Definitely will be booking again with her in the future!”
“Best dog sitter I could ask for. This woman will bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable that your animals are in good hands while you’re out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will continue to rebook with her.”
“Thanks Oscar for watching Roscoe while I went out of town! He knows how to handle reactive, energetic dogs and Roscoe is a big boy. Sent lots of pics and kept us updated on everything, 100% recommend!”
“Jessica was AWESOME. She went above and beyond to take good care of our pets. We would love to have her back again when we are in need of a pet sitter. With 2 large dogs and 3 cats to care for and entertain she was amazing at keeping up with them and getting to know each of their personalities to better care for them. Thank you Jessica for allowing us to be gone and enjoy our time away knowing you were taking such good care of them.”
“Alka was great! She took such amazing care of my pup and was easy to work with. Appreciated her coordinating with me to meet up prior and my dog absolutely adored her! Will absolutely be booking her again.”

She sent photo updates, was easy to communicate with during our trip, and we came back to happy fur-babies, a clear sign of her amazing care. Our elderly dog has since passed and while we are looking for our next addition to our animal pack, my husband and I have said multiple times, anytime is a good time since we have Mikhaila to watch our critters! Thank you Mikhaila!”
