1. Ell H.

“Ell was awesome with my (2) dogs. Very responsive and always kept me updated with photos and how they were getting along. Excellent Job and will be using her in the future.”


2. Erin S.

“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”


3. Taryn T.

“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”




4. Jennifer C.


“Jennifer is great: she's good with dogs (and my puppy loves her), on time, flexible, quick to respond and on top of that - pleasant! I don't know what more you could be looking for in a dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her again in the (very near) future. I would recommend her for all your puppy/dog needs.”


5. Virginia V.

“Virginia is amazing! I fully trust her with my dog when I’m away and I love that she gives me peace of mind, knowing Remi’s meds and feeding schedule are being taken care of. Will definitely book Virginia again!”

“Russ was great. Very attentive and lots of pictures and updates and Lulu had a great time! The apartment was left very clean! Russ was a great sitter!”

8. Molly B.

“Overall I had a good experience with Molly.”


9. Ellie V.

10. Clove L.

“We loved having Clove stay with our pup! It’s such a relief to have a sitter who understands and works with animals so well. I’d recommend Clove to anyone and we can’t wait to book him again.”


11. Jackson O.

“Jackson took great care of my two cats while I was away. He sent me daily updates on how the cats were doing and made sure to take time to play with them. I'm happy to have found someone like Jackson whom I can trust to take care of my cats again in the future! I highly recommend booking Jackson for your pet needs.”


12. Kelsey G.

“Kelsey was wonderful and took such great care of my baby boy. I was gone for quite some time and she made sure I had pictures, videos, and updates daily! She also helped water my flowers and took my trash out on trash day which was above and beyond what I asked! I will definitely request Kelsey again!”


13. Lola G.

“Lola (Birdy) did a stellar job. Kept us connected with daily updates, handled all house sitting duties, Loki loved her. Couldn’t have asked for a better job”

“Hershel sent photos and updates, which I really appreciated. He did a wonderful job of watching my pup!”

16. Kodiak K.
“Kody has great experience taking care of a variety of pets. Kody took care of our dogs, a Siberian husky and a German Shepherd mix, our bunny, and two cats when I was out of town on a number of occasions. Each time the pets were well cared for and happy. Kody is very attentive and responsible while being understanding and compassionate with the animals they watch. I highly recommend Kody!”


17. Esther M.
“Esther is a true animal lover who loves dogs as well as many other 2/4/0/? Legged creatures. She has never met a furry friend that she could not win over. I would highly recommend her to befriend your furry friends.”

20. Madeleine M.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages. I don’t currently have any of my own, so I’d love to help you with yours. :) I currently work from home which allows my weekday schedule to be very flexible to check in on pets as needed at the drop of a hat. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m not able to easily accommodate pets for overnight stays in my home but I do have the ability to watch them during the day.
