“She was so sweet and caring, my senior dog loved her. Great communication and super calm spirit. I will definitely be using her again. She was hyper aware that he was post surgical and made sure to communicate updates to me regularly”



“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”


“Ana is an angel. My 3 month old lab is in peak chaos teething mode and she handled him with care and love and grace. Felt so comfortable leaving my baby and my home in her hands. Will absolutely be booking her again to hang with Hank if she’ll have us!”


“Yuliia was so sweet and sent so many pictures of our babies while we were away! She truly took care of them like they were her own. We could truly enjoy ourselves knowing our girls were in great hands. Would absolutely book again next time we’re in town!”



“Elizabeth was the best! I had never left my kitties before and I was really anxious about leaving them for the first time but Elizabeth gave me the assurance that they will be loved and taken care of while I was not with them. Even though it was a short stay my kitties managed to get comfortable with Elizabeth and cuddled with her. She sent me lots of fotos and videos that I greatly appreciate. When I came back my home was as if I never left and my kitties were happy to see but relaxed and not anxious at all. I would 100% contact Elizabeth the next time I leave my kitties behind.”


“Ariana was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible, even letting us switch the dogs out at the last minute, which we really appreciated. She communicated quickly and clearly, making everything so easy and stress-free. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Daniel took exceptional care of our two dogs. He was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. I felt at ease from the moment we dropped them off, and Daniel continued to make me feel so throughout their stay. I highly, highly recommend him!”


“Aniela did a great job taking care of our cat FD while we were away! The house was really clean when we got back, and our cat seemed very happy and well looked after. Aniela shared some cute photos and kept in touch about the key pickup and drop-off, which made the whole process easier. It’s so nice to have someone reliable looking after our girl while we’re gone! Thank you so much Aniela for your help!”


“Woody was an absolutely excellent house/dogsitter for our resident pup and foster dog. Their pure enthusiasm and affection for our pups was apparent from our first meet-and-greet, and we felt beyond comforted and relieved to know the dogs were getting so much love and attention while we were away. Woody provided updates with just the right frequency each day, took the dogs on multiple walks a day (a HUGE plus for us), and was so diligent and thoughtful about making sure our instructions/requests were fulfilled -- even checked in with us when our foster's ears were inflamed to ask if we'd like them to help administer medication, which was super thoughtful and appreciated. House was totally clean and pristine when we returned! Completely lovely person to chat with as well, and we look forward to hosting them again next time we're headed out of town!”


“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”


“Laura was absolutely amazing! She is the first dog sitter I have used for one of my pups and I could not have felt more confident with her at my house. She constantly sent photos/ was understanding of my dogs needs and was always available to give me an update! I could not recommend her enough and hope to use her again soon!”


“Mo did a fantastic job taking care of our senior dog. Mo’s experience showed when asking for every possible detail on how best to care for both animals. Communicated very well, and kept everything nice and clean. Highly recommend.”


“Parker was amazing - we are so grateful that he took such great care of our 9 month old puppy. Puppies are never the easiest option so we are so grateful that Parker was awesome. He sent lots of pictures and updates which we loved. We will be booking again!”


“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”


“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”


“We just had the best dog care we’ve ever had with Jessica! I have an old lady dog that I’m always worried about. I’ve skipped out on trips that my dog couldn’t come on the last couple of years because I’m so afraid of leaving her. Not anymore! Will absolutely hire Jessica again in a heart beat. She took excellent care of my dog and had amazing communication with me throughout the days with pictures and descriptions about what my dog was doing. I was never worried about her and could actually enjoy my vacation. Not to mention I came home to a sparkling clean house- would absolutely recommend Jessica to watch your pups. She is a gem!”


“Kimberly took such amazing care of my dog and home. I have a 100lb leash reactive young dog and she handled her like the pro she is! I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be a repeat client! Thanks Kimberly!”
