1. Nicole P.
“This was the second time Nicole stayed at our house with our dog Buster while we were out of town. We were away for 10 days out of the country and we were very worried about Buster because he has stomach issues. Nicole was wonderful with him! She accommodated his routine and made him feel very comfortable. Nicole was very proactive - she noticed Buster having more stomach problems after a few days and she contacted me to discuss it. Medicine from the vet was delivered and Buster was back to normal! Nicole is very sensitive to his needs, and she did not mind when he woke her up one morning at 4am to go out. Having Nicole enabled us to enjoy our vacation, knowing she would address any issues that come up. She will be coming again to stay with Buster soon!”
2. Heather S.
“It is always scary leaving your fur babies for a week, but we felt so glad to have Heather with our two dogs and cat. We cannot recommend her enough!”
3. Lisa C.
“Lisa is a total pro. Left our house perfectly clean and exactly how we left it, just a little better. Turtle (our pup) was happy and healthy upon our return and we’re so grateful he was in good hands :)”
4. Elvia C.
“Elvia is amazing! All I could say is wow after getting home and reading handwritten report cards for all three dogs and my cat individually. She has great attention to detail, care, and professionalism and is adaptable under tight time frame. She sent me pictures every day and spent time to get to know each of my animals so kindly and professionally. Very impressed 100/10!!!”
5. Katie V.
“I’ve know Katie since she was a kid and my puppy grew up with her , now being 11 yrs old she needs someone to stay over night when I’m away just in case she has to go out, so she has become my go to sitter , my dog loves her ! Katie is so good with her, on time , and. Responsible ! My dog can also be a little difficult walking past or near other dogs but I completely trust Katie in all situations with her , I wouldn’t want anyone else !”
6. Jess B.
“Jess did a great job sitting for our dog for a week while we were out of town. We and our dog could not have been more happy with the experience. Highly recommend Jess.”
7. Nathalie M.
“Nathalie has been incredible, we couldn’t have been luckier to have found her! Our dogs don’t welcome just anybody into our house and needed some time to get to know Nathalie. She dedicated her spare time to get to know all three of them and they just love her! I have so much admiration for the efforts Nathalie put in with the dogs and our family, we appreciate her so much! I didn’t think we’d find someone who loved our dogs as much as we do! I can’t recommend Nathalie enough. She is a truly special ❤️”
8. Esther L.
“Esther went above and beyond. She provided daily updates w/photos and took Henrie on long walks. Super friendly and loving to my sweet boy. Will be calling again in the future! Thanks Esther!”
9. Jessica S.
“Jessica was outstanding. Super friendly during our meet and greet. Our trio of two cats and a pup took to her right away and we never looked back. Jessica sent tons of great updates via cute photos and videos, she left our home in pristine condition and we would gladly ask her to sit with us again without hesitation.”
10. Claire C.
“Claire is a responsible pet owner. She takes good care of her dog (Snow) and treats him as her kid. Snow is healthy and energetic. So I believe Claire must be a great dog sitter, because she is experienced and careful.”
11. Hanaya D.
“Hanaya did an excellent job. She was a clear communicator and took perfect care of my pup, and left my home immaculate. Would highly recommend her!”
12. Torre H.
“Torre is my first call when we need someone to watch our two dogs (lazy yellow lab + crazy cattle dog). Whether it's a weeklong stay at our house or we just need someone to swing by to let them out and feed them dinner, Torre is our go-to. He's responsive, reliable, and most importantly, trustworthy. One of our dogs has leash aggression, is a professional escape artist, and comes with a lengthy list of instructions, but Torre is not deterred; I have the peace of mind knowing that they are both safe and happy when they're in Torre's care. They get lots of exercise and playtime when they're with Torre, I truly believe our dogs are a little sad to see us when we come home and he leaves.”
13. Chloe K.
“Chloe stayed with our 2 dogs, Finn & Ally for 3 nights and did an amazing job! Ally is a rescue pup and very skittish, but Chloe was able to win her over! We also have 3 fish tanks and a newt that she took very good care of over the weekend. I highly recommend Chloe for anyone who needs a pet sitter! She is awesome!”
14. Holly M.
“If I could choose just one person to care for my dog, it would be Holly. She has a "magic touch" with every kind of dog. For one thing, I have watched her care so lovingly for her own rescue dog, Bruno, for more than 10 years. Bruno had many special needs when Holly found him and took him into her home. Her deep and abiding love, coupled with her consistent and unfailing care, transformed Bruno from a frightened little doggie into one of the happiest pets I've ever seen. Holly is a totally dependable person. She approaches every task she takes on, with professionalism and a commitment to excellence. When she says she will do something, she does it. She also has a kind, generous, and loving heart that quickly turns her into the best friend of any dog that's fortunate enough to meet her. I can think of no one more well-suited to care for dogs. Anyone who leaves their dog in Holly's care can rest assured that their dog will be treated wonderfully.”
15. Margaret B.
“Margaret was an exceptional house/pet sitter! We went away for the weekend, and all contact with Margaret was seamless and simple. I received lots of (wanted) updates and returned home to a very happy, well-exercised, and loved dog!”
16. Vinicius F.
“Vinny has been a dog lover for as long as I've known him (20 years). Growing up he would help dogsit for family friends, and I've seen how much he cares for them firsthand. He's also very active and loves taking dogs for walks. I have no doubt Vinny will be a great pet caregiver!”
17. Duny N.
About: Hi! love working with pets! I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college, from walking dogs and staying at home with kitties and pups ! I’ve taken care of pets from all ages and breeds :) I have gain most of my experience working at a local Animal hospital as a vet tech.

18. LisaLeigh R.
“LisaLeigh did a great job providing frequent text and photo updates so I knew how my puppers were doing”
19. Manavi K.
“Manavi was amazing with my senior chihuahua, Leo. She kept me updated with photos and messages, showing Leo enjoying walks and cuddles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Leo came home happy and well-cared-for, and I could tell he was given so much love and attention. I highly recommend Manavi to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter!”
20. Claudia L.
