“Blakely has cared for our dog on several occasions. She is a true animal lover and takes very good care of our lab who is about five years old. She walks him and feeds him timely… He adores her and is so happy every time she comes to take care of him..”


4. Karen B.

“Karen was amazing! She made sure our senior pup was taken care of with lots of little walks and timely medication. She stayed at our house, kept it super tidy, and made sure our old lady felt loved while we were away. We will definitely use Karen again!!!”


5. Justin L.

“Justin is great! I just started booking him this month and have already used his services twice. Banksy is a sweet girl but has some issues with other dogs but Justin hasn’t any problems with her so far. He’s responsive, respectful, and I’ve always come home to a clean house and a happy dog. I’m so glad I found him and will definitely be booking with again soon!”

8. Alex L.

“Alex did a wonderful job of caring for our animals, with great communication over the whole time. She is very caring and enthusiastic about animals. We would definitely hire Alex again.”




9. Emily H.


“Emily was so amazing with our two pups! She kept us updated the whole time we were gone, sending plenty of photos, so we never worried about what the dogs were doing and could see they were having a great time. I would recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone!”


10. Danielle M.

“Danielle was amazing with my babies. I got update texts everyday and tons of pictures. Such a blessing to have had her sit for them at our home in their own environment where they are most comfortable. Would recommend her 1000%. Thank you so much again!!!!”


11. Kendall G.
“My Augie boy is my life, and there is no one I would trust more to help take care of him. I know firsthand just how much love and care she gives her own loves, and have seen just how excited and wonderful she is with others’ pets as well! I could not recommend her more! I only wish we still lived in the same state so I could monopolize her time in helping me with Augie!”


12. Dani E.

“She was great!! My cat had so much fun with her. I’m new to this app and having someone house sit but i had no worry with her. She went above and beyond and i will definitely use her again”


13. Lisa P.
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere. I can be a constant presence during boarding or drop in frequently... your choice! I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!!


14. Rachel D.
“Rachel is someone I describe as having the biggest heart for animals… and humans. She has never not stepped up when I’ve needed her to help care for my cat or doggo when he was still with us. She provides them with amazing care and lots of love. She has her own animals that she might be slightly obsessed with, which I think helps when caring for others - she’s going to treat them as she would like hers to be treated.”


15. Rachel D.
About: I’m a big animal lover. I have been around animals all my life and grew up with both dogs and cats in the home. I currently have four older dogs - two of which are my super seniors (15+). I am well-versed in caring for animals with higher need levels and can adapt to almost all care plans. I am currently self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule and have the ability to adapt to someone’s care needs. I will always treat any animal as my own and strive to provide transparency and accountability in the care they receive with me. I am self-employed, and have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available for morning, midday, or evening drop-ins. House sitting typically depends on my schedule but I will always try to make it work if I am able. As of right now I do not offer boarding services, but I will provide transparency when caring for your pets in your home and I will be respectful of your space and care wishes for your pets.


16. Courtney K.

“Courtney did a great job taking care of my both my pets! She even saved my kitty when she fell in the pool (I'm so thankful she was attentive enough to notice when she heard a "plop"). The house was tidy when I got home and I appreciate that very much. Would love to hire her again.”


17. Candice C.
“I have been around to see how well Candice takes care of her own dog Faith. She is very intentive and caring towards Faith. She is great with my dog Diesel also, mine likes to get attention and Candice is great at giving Diesel that attention. Candices caring and loving nature make her an obvious choice for pet care. Any animal that is in her care is very lucky and fortunate.”


18. Dominique H.
“Dominique did an exceptional job house sitting my two large dogs for 3 nights. His communication was consistent and reliable. I appreciated his attention to detail for each dog and their unique quirks. My home was just how I left it upon my return. Water bowl was full and my pups were happy! I fully recommend Dominique and have already booked another sitting with him.”


19. Lydia P.

“Lydia was great! I needed someone very last minute and she was such a relief!! She sent several photos daily and gave me frequent updates which helped me feel at ease while she was house sitting my fur fam. I will definitely hire her again!”


20. Jaymie T.
“Jaymie T. Is a wonderful person to have watch your pet! I have had her watch my dog on several occasions and she has even house sat for me for a couple weeks at a time and she always does a fantastic job. She follows directions exactly and is very reliable. She goes out of her way to clean up after pets and treats them like she would her own animals.”
