1. Karla N.

“I had an emergency trip planned and needed a last-minute sitter and Karla came in clutch. Not only did she take care of my dog and two cats. My dog was sick at the time and she helped me so much with her getting her all better. I could not recommend her more and you would be lucky to have her babysit, your precious pups, and cats.”


2. Jessica P.

“Jessica took care of our sweet but very timid dog Maddie over a weekend. It was our first time leaving Maddie with a stranger and we couldn't have been happier with Jessica. She followed all our instructions and, most importantly, gave Maddie so much love and attention. We could see in the evolution of the pictures over the weekend that Maddie finally relaxed - and that's not easy for her! Jessica was patient and understood that Maddie would take some time to warm up - but she went from hiding under the table to belly rubs by the end of the weekend. I highly recommend Jessica and would certainly ask her to help us again.”


3. Meredith C.

“Meredith was wonderful with our high-energy pup Patrice for the holiday weekend. We knew he was in good hands and that made us feel good about enjoying our time away. We hope Meredith is available for future trips!!!”


4. Kelly G.


“Kelly is the dog sitter you want! Kind and very trustworthy, the moment you meet her you’ll feel at ease. She stayed in our home with our energetic (but very sweet) dog for 3 nights. We felt very comfortable with her in our home. She communicates well, is flexible, and really goes out of her way to make sure your dog feels safe and loved! Thank you Kelly! We truly appreciate having you as a support for our fur babies!!”


5. Latifa A.
“Latifa always takes such good care of my pets, that I truly feel safe having her take care of them when needed. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.”


6. Kathleen D.

“Kathleen was wonderful with our dog Amy. She came by for a meet and greet. She confirmed the dates and times a week before staying with her. She sent us a message with a photo when she arrived and another when she left. We hope Kathleen can come and stay with our dog again.”


7. Victoria A.

“Tori was AMAZING. She was able to house sit for me with very short notice when my other sitter cancelled on me, and then while I was gone my dog got very sick and she cared for him and kept me updated. I felt so lucky to have her to care for him while I was gone!”


8. Christina H.

“Christina took wonderful care of our two pups, Zoey and Pippa, and provided plenty of awesome updates with cute photos. We’ll definitely be checking Christina’s availability first the next time we need a pet and house sitter for a trip!”




9. Susan F.


“Susan is the best! And our boy Xander absolutely loves her. Xander is nearly 15, requiring extra attention, and Susan is super accommodating and understanding of his senior doggy needs. Highly recommend her!!”


10. Grey D.

“Grey was super attentive with my dog and sent pictures every day I was gone! My dog takes a while to like a new person, but never once had a problem with Grey. Definitely would recommend!”


11. Catalina M.

“Catalina took great care of our dog Holly! Will definitely rebook her!”


12. Emma R.

“Worth every penny! Emma is reliable, professional, and has given us the freedom to travel. Our dog is elderly with some mobility issues and I forgot to cut the medication and leave it out. Emma was able to make sure he got it, and the house was just the way we left it. Rocky looked happy and healthy when we returned . (It helps that Emma favors me a bit)😁”


13. Davis M.

“Davis is absolutely a amazing. It's clear she has a deep love for animals and understands that some people see their pets as kids… which is shown through the extra love and attention she provides. She stayed with our pets over a few nights, gave us regular photo updates, and gave our dog extra walks. We have no reservations leaving our animals with her in the future and are already planning on hiring her doe our next trip.”




14. Bri B.

“Bri was amazing! I was a little anxious leaving my dog overnight for the first time with someone new, but Bri put me at ease. Lyla had a wonderful time with her. My pup is a little reactive on leash, and Bri took extra precautions on their walk to make sure it was a good experience for both of them. The house looks just the way I left it.”


15. Jacqueline S.
“Jackie has been dog sitting for us for many years. She has taken care of our dogs over weekends and week long vacations. She has always been professional kind and to our pets. She played with the dogs and sent us pictures so we could see what they were doing. I highly recommend her services as a dog walker and a pet sitter.”


16. Vesper S.

“Vesper has been a gem of a find. Flash is one happy camper with Vesper. Win, win! We will certainly have you back again!”


17. Aspen Ciarra G.

“Aspen is fantastic. She’s organized, thorough, awesome with animals, and extremely respectful. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, took great care of our best friends, and sent lots of pictures. Aspen’s fee is a bit higher than other’s and she deserves it. She’s a real pro. We look forward to working with her from here on out.”


18. sol e.
About: I have a profound love for cats and dogs, stemming from my 17-year companionship with my beloved Cane, who recently passed away. As a passionate pet enthusiast, I've extended my care to the Barrington community, engaging in cat and dog sitting for over three years. My commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for furry friends is unwavering. With a deep understanding of their needs, I ensure each pet under my care receives personalized attention, affection, and the utmost comfort. Having navigated the joys and challenges of pet ownership, I bring a wealth of experience to every pet sitting opportunity. Your beloved companions are not just animals to me; they are cherished members of the family deserving of the best care possible. Count on me to go above and beyond to make your pets feel at ease, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both them and you. I am very flexible with timing. I can sit dogs and cats every day of the week. I’m available 24/7/365 and send regular updates to pet parents. I live on a boarding school so I can take the dogs for a walk around campus and my home is very safe for dogs and cats.


19. Alexa C.

“Thank you Alexa for such good care of our home and doggie!”


20. alison k.
“Alison is a dedicated and responsible pet-lover. She is flexible and nurturing enough to meet whatever my dog throws her way, but balances this with the right amount of discipline so I know my pet is safe in her hands. Highly recommend Alison as a contentious and capable dog walker & sitter.”
