1. Avital M.

“Avital provided exceptional service for my two cats. She is very trustworthy, honest, and kind. Knowing that my cats were in good hands relieved me from the stress of leaving them. My boys quickly warmed up to her. I highly recommend Avital as a pet sitter.”


2. Joseph M.

“Joseph is the best…so thankful we’ve found him :)”


3. Andrew N.

“This is the third time we have used Andrew to watch our cat and will definitely be using him again! I love getting updates and pictures seeing how he is doing!”


4. Sabrina S.
“Sabrina started her own pet sitting service when she was 12 years old. She always had a love for all animals. I used to supervise with her when she had more than one dog to walk in our neighborhood because she was young. Now, as an adult, she has watched our dog, two cats, and turtles while we went on vacation and did an excellent job. She has a dog of her own that she trains and takes very good care of. Anyone would be very lucky to have her watch your pet. She is very dependable and responsible.”


5. Alexandra A.

“Alexandra provided great availability and check-ins w photos each visit. Definitely recommend”


6. Irem T.

“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”


7. Kristin A.
“Kristin is an amazing care taker for pets. As a dog mom herself, she truly treats her dog as if it’s her own child. She has also watched my cat Trixie before and took great care of her and kept her safe and happy. I would recommend her care to any pet owner.”


8. Katie W.

“Our second time with Katie. She is very reliable and responsive to our pets. So glad to have found her and will definitely be using her services again.”


9. Sonya B.

“Sonya was excellent with Chewy going above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. Kept me up to date with pictures and videos as well.”


10. Theresa G.

“Theresa was wonderful. She was great with communication and took great care of our dog. I highly recommend her!”




11. Niomi L.


“Niomi was an excellent sitter to both my dog and cat and highly recommended her, very friendly and always on time.”


12. Tucker L.

“Tucker arrived on time which was very appreciated. He greeted both dogs warmly and they were very excited to see him. I have 2 large breed dogs and Tucker handled them expertly. He praised them for obeying and was very affectionate with them. He took them for a jog as requested and both dogs came back tired in the best way. They now are both taking a nap. I would highly recommend Tucker!!!”


13. Evan K.
“Evan is an wonderful and caring person. He has watched my old lady (a 12 year old Rottweiler) several times and I know she is in good hands whenever she is in his care. She takes medication and has some arthritis problems and Evan not only made sure she got what she needed but also gave me reports so i could relax while I was away. He also understands that she might not be able to move around or go for long walks and made sure to give her attention in a way she can enjoy by sharing his time and love with her in the quiet and relaxed ways she likes best.”


14. Kristen L.
“Kristen is great! She has watched my beagle, Quinn, several times now, and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Quinn loves her - she gets so excited every time she sees Kristen. Kristen is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She always sends updates and pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. Whether she’s staying at my place overnight or just stopping by for walks, I know Quinn is in great hands. Kristen is careful to follow all of my instructions, which is so important since Quinn is a senior beagle who eats a specific diet and takes medication. I always come home to a happy, relaxed pup, knowing she’s been well looked after. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who is both trustworthy and affectionate with my dog. I highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable pet sitter!”


15. Amanda Y.

“Amanda was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure we were both in the loop and our dog Brooklyn was well taken care of. We definitely appreciated her and will be sure to use her in the future!”




16. Carlie H.

“Carlie, came by and Shakespeare had a great visit and walk. I will definitely ask her to take care of Shakespeare in the future.”


17. Tara L.
“I know that Tara will provide nothing short of exceptional care to animals, and that she will be the most responsible and loving caregiver. I have entrusted Tara to take care of my dog for extended periods of time, and each time my dog has come home as enthusiastic and happy as can be. Tara has such a unique connection with animals that I have truly never seen any person have before with pets. I have never witnessed her have a negative encounter with an animal, and she is currently studying in vet school so she knows a ton about what is good and bad for animals. Sometimes I seriously wonder whether my pet is more loving towards her rather than myself!”


18. erin o.

“Erin was so amazing with my cat. He loved her so much. She played with him and took such good care of him while I was away on an extended trip.”


19. Marco L.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand just how much Marco genuinely cares for animals. Whether it’s going out of his way to greet every dog we see on walks, or taking time to understand each pet’s personality, his love for animals is obvious. He’s responsible, patient, and always makes sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. He’s also great at following routines, sticking to feeding or walking schedules, and communicating clearly—traits that make him a natural fit for pet sitting. I’ve watched him care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and he always treats them like family. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him!”


20. Michael C.

“Mike was amazing with our Lady! At no point while I was out of the country did I need to fret or worry. Mike’s updates were amazing and made us happy to know she was in good hands. Def recommend anyone in the area to consider him. Thanks Mike!!!!”
