Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.

It was great to have John stay in our house and watch our dear Dora for a week while we were out of town. He kept us in the loop throughout the stay and was a great guest and dog sitter.

Jay stayed with my dog Lucy while I went on a business trip across the country and she was so wonderful with my sweet old girl. She was very curious about Lucy’s needs and communicated with me and shared some pictures along the way. I came home to a happy dog and I’m so grateful to Jay for taking such good care of her!

About: Hi, My name is Muriel and I am originally from France. I moved to the US 9 years ago and I miss having cats in my life! I used to cat sit there (home and people's home) for 4 years. My family also owned cats when I was younger. I am used to them and they get easily used to me! At home, it's me, my husband and our 5 year old girl. Tyler and Julia are both big fan of cats. Julia is very gentle with animals and i taught her to respect them. We have a house with a fenced yard. If your cat is not supposed to go outside, I'll make sure to keep the doors and windows closed. Can't wait to meet your pet! I am working full time from home, from 8 to 5 pm. I'll be happy to have a cat keep me company! Our daughter goes to school from 8:30 to 5pm. We allow cats to use our furniture and sleep with us (hopefully!!!!) Because I work remotely, I spend most of the day at home with your cat. I love to play with them using little strings or aluminum foil balls. My daughter Julia will also help with that part of course! I change the litter several times a day to avoid smells. I am also happy to brush/comb your cat :)

Sarah was great with Oliver, a dog that can be a little defensive and territorial. She was able to "read" him and gave him space when he needed it. She was flexible in terms of her time and handled all of the pesky details well. She was friendly and kind, and communicated with me consistently while I was away. I would definitely have her sit my dog again in the future.

I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.

John did a great job watching our animals while we were away on vacation. He came to meet them and get instructions ahead of time and checked in with us daily during the stay. They were both very happy and healthy on our return! Would definitely book John again.

I had a family emergency, and Heather went above and beyond to care for my cat Rasmo. I can't thank her enough for continuing to extend her time with him, and for her wonderful care. Normally when I get home Rasmo is always a little bit skinnier (a picky eater who knows well how to bend me to his will). This time he is as nicely dense as when I left him. Heather was responsive to questions and gave me lots of pix and videos of a very contented cat . I'm incredibly grateful to her and would not hesitate to hire her again - though hopefully for a more fun time away next time!

Shannon was an angel! Odie ended up really sick and needed to go to the emergency vet. Shannon took him, and took such good care of him the following days! She administered meds, cooked him rice and chicken and was his champion the whole time! I cant recommend her enough. She was amazing! I was so lucky she was there to take such great care of my baby!

Carly went above and beyond taking care of my potbelly pig, Notta. She sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mini pigs are unusual pets with big personalities, and Carly took the time to really get to know Notta and make sure she felt comfortable and happy. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and attentive pet sitter.

Ashton was a great sitter for our dog and cat while we traveled out of town for a few days. My dog can be a bit anxious so it’s always a bit nerve wrecking leaving her with someone else but Ashton was up for the challenge and my anxious girl warmed right up to her. She even made an extra trip over during the day when my dog was having a little bit of a panic moment. Will definitely use her again!

Gwen took care of our senior babies for a few overnights. They were very calm and contented when we got home.🥰 Gwen has a large dog just like ours and Nahla was all over her from the very first minute. Alphie, our king of the house cat came looking for lovins soon after. Gwen didn't blink when Alphie came down with a cold a few days before we left and thus needed twice daily meds. We are so grateful we found Gwen.

Michelle was awesome! She came to our house a week ahead of the stay to meet the pups and get the lay of the land. She stayed with them at the house for two nights and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. She is attentive, responsible and caring. When we got home, the dogs were excited to see us but also calm and clearly had enjoyed their time with Michelle. Can’t recommend her enough and we hope she’s available for a home stay the next time we are out of town!
