1. Callie B.

“Callie did amazing with my dog. She provided consistent updates and was flexible when our plans changed. When I came home my dog didn't even seem to care that I was gone 😅 I assume because she was cared for so well.”


2. Alexandra C.

“Alexandra is excellent with my pups. She is super loving and treats them just like I do. She goes above and beyond to ensure your pups are well cared for and your home is safe. She is very respectful and caring to pets as well as people. She is an absolute joy to work with.”


3. Hannah J.


“Hannah was EXCELLENT with both of my dogs. One is a rescue who is very fearful of new people, however, she wasn’t afraid of Hannah at all. They got along wonderfully and my dog sat on her lap within a few hours together and I quickly got a photo of them cuddling together. Hannah also did great with my older dog who is at the end of life. Both dogs were happy and unphased when I returned home. I would 100% recommend Hannah and plan to book with her again!”


4. Hanan A.

“Hanan was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last second before the holidays and she stepped right in no problem. We’re very particular about who watches our Zuko as he can be a lot to handle for some but wow did she do great! Between watching our house and Zuko and taking care of our fish too, she definitely knows what she’s doing. She even had her own puppy boot camp for Zuko! He’s got a few more commands up his sleeves and really is even more well behaved than when we left. Thank you Hanan! Have an amazing new year and we look forward to using your services again soon!”


5. Emily H.


“Emily was in constant communication and took excellent care of our guy! She was great and we will book again!”


6. Mark M.

“Mark is a great Dog Sitter and Dog Walker! Gabriel is a big Rottweiler and it can be difficult for him to warm up to new people. Mark is a professional and was able to get Gabriel to warm up to him right away! Thanks Mark!”


7. Lauren S.

“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”


8. Laura K.

“Laura was very nice to get up at 3:30 am to feed my Henry. Hopefully was able to go back to bed. He has always been an early riser but this is ridiculous. She was calm and reassuring in general.”




9. Michael F.

“Michael did a wonderful job with our two dogs. The booking was a little last minute but Michael was very understanding. We were gone for 13 days and he took great care of our dogs. He sent pictures for updates throughout. He even watered our plants that were from a recent furneral. We would definitely recommend Michael. Thank you for giving us piece of mind during our vacation!”


10. Amanda E.


“Amanda is great. Unfortunately she got unexpectedly sick with the Flu. However, she is AMAZING on communication and care, so we were able to work everything out. She handled it very professionally.”


11. Miranda B.

“If you want someone who genuinely cares about your pets and how they interact with people, Miranda is your sitter. She’s dedicated and so caring. Great person to sit and talk with if you get the chance!”


12. Yadicon C.

“Yadicon did a great job watching my cat, Ramona, for the weekend! She stepped in last minute after my original cat sitter had a family emergency. Ramona was clearly well-taken care of under Yadicon’s care, and the apartment was spotless when I got home. Thank you!”




13. Mary Kay G.


“Mary Kay is so great with the babies - even those who are difficult! She even left us gorgeous flowers. We love her! But I don’t want to say too many good things cuz then we have to fight other people off to get her! (Just kidding!)”


14. Aurora J.

“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”


15. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth watched our dogs for an entire weekend while we were away in our house. She was very respectful to our house and treated our dogs with kindness and respect. Will definitely rebook.”


16. Brittany B.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve always had a pet around to love on and care for. I love all animals I work full time and looking for some extra money on the weekends to help pay off my student loans. I love animals and always willing to walk and love on animals. I am always very safety cautious when it comes to animals! I can’t wait to help care for you pet while you are away and help make your life a little easier


17. Maria Socorro B.

“Maria did a great jobs. Hayden loved cuddling with her and she cleaned up after herself.”


18. Haven S.
About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs and cats. I have a ferret take I consider my son. Animals are worth all the work that comes with them. I am currently unemployed but struggling to find a job so I have all the free time needed to spend with your fur baby or babies. I will keep a very close eye on the fur baby and follow them around and even cuddle them when it’s nap time. I only follow them around to make sure they stay out of trouble.


19. Amy J.


“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”


20. Akala W.

“Akala was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs! They were well taken care of and we got lots of updates on them during our 4 night vacation. She was very responsible and took great care of our house as well. It was super clean and just as we left it. We would definitely recommend Akala to take care of your pets and home while you are away.”
