“Erica was the best! We left Bucky with Erica at our home over Presidents’ Day weekend. She sent pictures and updates daily! Bucky was happy and taken well care of. Our house was left in perfect condition when we arrived home.! We definitely will be using Erica again.”

“Mark was absolutely great with Archie and Mumford. He knew exactly how to work with our dogs and was incredibly responsive and provided great pictures and videos. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with him!”

“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her again!”

“Karachi was great! She watched our exuberant 2 year old, 50 pound dog Luna for a week; she was reliable, dependable, and took great care of our girl. She sent us pics every day and told us how Luna was doing. She went the extra mile to come and meet with Luna before we left so Luna would be more familiar with her. She is very responsive; always answered texts immediately and kept us apprised of things. She was a perfect guest; the house was in immaculate condition when we came home. I would definitely hire her again to watch our dog. Luna seemed happy and she got the walks she needed. Karachi is a mature, poised, caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“Kym did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog who is on seizure watch. We really appreciate her prompt communication and attentive nature— he had a great day with her. Thanks so much!”
“Grateful for connecting with Salma on Rover— she took incredible care of my cat while I was away for over a week and it brought so much peace of mind to know someone so kind and caring was looking out for her. This was my first time having someone house sit and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Salma sent daily updates and was quick to reply to any messages. My cat also loved her! Thanks again Salma from Melon and I 🍈💞”

“Andrea did an amazing job looking after Rudy. She was super attentive, caring, and provided lots of updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”

“Christina is consistently incredible! She had to deal with a high stress situation (completely out of her control) while taking care of my dogs and handled it beautifully. Incredible sitter, and would recommend to anybody!”

“Summar is the best! We forgot to schedule dog-sitting this past weekend and she was willing to help us out in a pinch. Our dog was thrilled to have more time with Summar - he loves her and she takes amazing care of him and our home while we are away. Thank you Summar!”

“Renee was fabulous with our girls! She was so kind and gentle with them. Our girls are older and she was so patient and kept them so entertained. And if that wasn’t enough I came home to a clean home. I would definitely use her again because we were able to relax knowing our girls were taking care of, we were so grateful 😊”

“Thao was amazing!!!! She took great care of our boy and gave him lots of exercise and attention. She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. We would absolutely use her again in the future.”

“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”

“We were attending an out-of-state wedding and brought our 2.5 year old dog with us. This was his first big road trip, staying in unfamiliar places. We booked Victoria to stay with him in ourAirbnb while we attended the wedding. She arrived promptly and immediately engaged with our dog, putting him totally at ease. She was wonderful and the entire process worked perfectly. We would highly recommend Victoria!”

“Anya did a great job sitting our dog Muchlee. This was our first timing leaving her in a while and Anya kept us updated. She also took great care of our apartment and left it absolutely spotless.”

“Lilly was absolutely incredible! Her communication, attention to detail and the wonderful job she did caring for our dog Rocky were second to none. Lilly helped provide reinforcement training for our pup since he's still learning, and she took him for hikes and socialized him with other dogs. She was very easy to work with extremely trustworthy. I cannot recommend Lilly enough!”

Timothy was fantastic! We had a last-minute cancellation with our previous sitter, and Timothy was incredibly flexible and accommodating. He was able to meet our dog just a day after we first spoke and jumped right into house sitting the very same evening. He handled the drop-in and the full-day sitting perfectly—highly recommend him for anyone needing a reliable and adaptable sitter!

Kris was great. We left him a very long and detailed set of instructions, and he followed everything. The house was in great condition when we got home, and he took very good care of our dog, Mando. He gave us daily reports and went above and beyond making sure he was safe, even going out with him at night during his bedtime "wee" to make sure no foxes got him.Will definitely use again

Gabriela was absolutely wonderful with our dog. Her communication was very detailed, thoughtful, and frequent, which gave me so much peace of mind. She carefully followed all of our instructions and genuinely has an amazing way with animals, you can tell she truly cares. Gabriela is also very flexible and friendly, which made everything so easy. On top of that, she was very respectful of our home and left the apartment spotless. I highly recommend Gabriela’s services and would love to work with her again.

Karly was again a lifesaver, but this time with house/dog sitting overnight for several days. Communication was great and she left everything organized and clean at my house. She might have even left my place cleaner than how I left it for her! Karly will be my go to when I leave for future trips. Thank you!

Dana did an amazing job once again with our senior Great Dane Harry. Dana was able to administer critical heart medications that he needs several times a day, giving us peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. Harry loves Dana and I'm sure he will miss being spoiled by her! 💘

Sarah was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. We've had some terrible experiences with sitters over the years, so we know (and appreciate!) a good one when we find one. From my first interaction with Sarah, she was responsive, professional, and very pleasant. She took excellent care of our 3 dogs and older cat. They are a cute crew- but a lot of work! Sarah made it look easy, and she left our home in great shape too. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Caroline and Federico! They took such good care of my dog for a week while I was out of town. They took the time and care to learn about him and his specific needs and routines. I felt so comfortable and safe leaving him with them. He had some medical needs (a hotspot) which they took care of perfectly and kept me informed throughout the stay. They also took fantastic care of my home while I was away. I would definitely book them again! Thank you!!!

Ana did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Byrne while we were away in Florida for a week. Byrne is almost 15 and requires medication, and Ana handled everything with great care and attention. She was incredibly communicative, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. Byrne came back happy and well cared for—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!

Mari was phenomenal! She is so kind and sweet, and extremely attentive. Her communication was top notch—we received daily updates both morning and evening, and she was very mindful of all the instructions we left her. She made note of all our concerns and reassured us without prompting about the things we had shared with her. It was so reassuring to know our pets were so well taken care of while we were away. We love Mari and so do our fur-babies!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Deniz. Communication was prompt and reassuring throughout. We received regular photo updates that made it so easy to relax and actually enjoy being away, knowing Winnie was in great hands. Deniz was responsible with the house and, more importantly, incredibly loving and attentive with our dog. Winnie is a cavapoo who thrives on attention, and she clearly got plenty of it. We came home to one very happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend!
