1. Asel O.
“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”
2. Stephanie P.
“Stephanie stayed in our home with our spoiled pup, Oliver, and not only did he love her and was well taken care of, but our house was immaculate when we got back from vacation. She’s responsible and responsive and we felt comfortable knowing Oliver was in good hands.”
3. Alexandra D.
“Alexandra is an excellent pet sitter. I highly recommend her. She did an awesome job. I had peace of mind knowing she was there. I would definitely reach out to her again if I need a pet sitter. She sent me pictures and was always letting me know what was going on. Truly remarkable!!”
4. Lia F.
“Lia was incredible! We have two dogs - one large Golden Retriever and one small Shiba Inu. She handled both of them perfectly, especially our Shiba who is very shy and scared of new people. She sent updates, pictures, kept our place incredibly clean and abided by all the house/dog rules. Will only be booking Lia again moving forward.”
5. Yvette B.
“Yvette was awesome! She kept our dog company during a family wedding. She sent lots of pictures and was flexible as our plans changed. We have already recommended her to our family who are looking for a new sitter!! Thank you Yvette!”
6. Paloma D.
“Our first overnight with Paloma and couldn’t be happier. She kept in communication and didn’t hesitate to ask clarifying questions. Excited to have her come again.”
7. Michael S.
About: I have taken care of dogs for a majority of my life. Previously, I had two golden retrievers for 12 years that I would tend to. I am currently working a 9-5 office job while studying to progress in my career. However, taking care of others’ “furry loved ones” is a great reprieve! I have a fenced backyard, and no animals currently. We had to donate our crate recently, but I do have “baby gates” in case the pet needed to be contained to an area.
8. Mia U.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mia. Prior to our booking, she did a meet and greet. She stayed in our home and cared for our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Goku while we were away for 5 days. Mia sent us regular updates and pictures each day. As an added bonus, she left the house super clean and even washed the sheets and towels! I will definitely book with Mia next time we go away and would not hesitate to recommend her!”
9. Saeun Y.
“Saeun is great with dogs, she’s walked and dogsat for two of my dogs, including one with behavioral issues. Highly recommend her for anything you’d need.”
10. Cindy C.
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful! She helped out after a sitter cancelled last minute, came early to meet our nervous pup, and stayed a half hour longer just to make sure she got her full time outside. I couldn’t be more thrilled and highly recommend her!”
11. Maryann C.
“Maryann was great with my German Shepherd. He's been going through some separation from me and his sister and she was attentive by his side. She cleaned up well after him as well and made sure he got walked or went to the doggy park. I would contact her again.”
12. Dayelle N.
“Dayelle took great care of my two pups and followed instructions I left for her. She stayed in touch while I was away to give me updates. Highly recommend her!”
13. FUAT G.
“Firat is a great fur friendly person. He took care of my girl while i was away for a week and she was so happy when i came back. I could not ask anything more but my fur baby to be happy while i am gone. She was well taken care of, fed, played and petted with care (: I highly recommend his help for your furry baby.”
14. Jalisa L.
“Jalisa was great. My 2 dogs seemed super happy after being at her place. I got a detailed report about them and communication overall was fantastic.”
15. Layla K.
About: Having grown up in Puerto Rico, I've always had dogs and other pets. My lifelong experience with animals has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior and the ability to handle various situations, including emergencies. From health concerns to basic behavioral problems, I've faced many challenges and have developed effective ways to approach and care for dogs, regardless of their situation. Pet care is a top priority for me. I have set routines for feeding, grooming, and exercising my pets daily. I also make sure to spend quality time with them, play with them, and give them plenty of love and attention Additionally, I always keep a close eye on them to ensure their well-being. My pets are like family to me, and I take responsibilities as a pet owner very seriously. In caring for pets in my own home or my client's home, I prioritize their well-being above all else. Whether it's providing boarding, sitting, or walking services, I always ensure that the pet's needs are met and that issues or concerns are promptly addressed. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of trust and transparency when it comes to leaving your furry loved ones in someone else's care. Rest assured, I will treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you informed every step of the way
16. Peter W.
“Peter is undoubtedly the best person to work with pets. If you met his dog, you'd see the happiest little guy on the planet. Peter spends time with his dog indoors, and out. They stay active together going on walks, and spend time socializing at the dog park. Peter is super protective over him, makes sure that his needs are met, and goes out of his way to ensure he's comfortable. Overall, Peter is a stellar guy with huge heart. Honestly couldn't have recommended a better person to look after your fuzzy companion. :)”
17. Libertad U.
“Libertad provided outstanding care for my puppy at home, dedicating several hours daily for just over a month. Her conscientious, dedicated, reliable, and professional approach made a significant impact on my puppy's well-being. Libertad's commitment to the task was evident in every interaction. She ensured my puppy's needs were met with precision, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a safe and comfortable environment. Her reliability and professionalism gave me the confidence that my puppy was in capable hands. I highly recommend Libertad for her excellent service. Her level of care and attention to detail transformed a potentially stressful situation into a positive and seamless experience. Many thanks to Libertad for her exceptional dedication to my puppy's well-being!”
18. Julie L.
“Julie L. was so caring and sweet with my dog. This was the first time I was boarding my dog Dior. I was quite nervous but Julie eased my mind from the meet and greet a few day before. It was obvious how much she cared for dogs. She keep me posted how Dior’s day going. Dior loved her and got comfortable so quick!! Can’t wait to book another care with Julie in the future.I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Julie!!”
19. Michelle H.
“Michelle will guarantee an enjoyable day for your dog. She takes care of dogs as if they were her own. I left my dog with her on a last minute trip for work and I knew I could trust her to take care of my pet. My dog Snowy had enjoyed walks in the park as Michelle sent me regular updates and pictures along the way. If you are looking for someone to love your dog as their own, Michelle is the sitter for you. - Gigi H”
20. Valentino S.
About: I have always had pets in my household since I was a child. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. My entire family loves animals and your pet will always be well cared for and have plenty of affection and attention! My wife and I both work from the home, so we are always here. We understand it can be difficult to find a reasonably priced and reliable pet sitter, as we have struggled to find one many times. We have an unfenced yard, but we are also within walking distance of a dog park. We do have a cat, that we can separate to a different part of the house as needed.
