“Ona was wonderful! So accommodating, took great care of our dogs and our home. She was flexible and generous and the dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated with us throughout and sent pics of the dogs. We highly recommend!”

“Absolutely trust worthy companions caretaker & very fun house sitter. I was pleased to find my pups as happy as jumping beans and the house looked and seemingly smelled more homey upon return.”

“Lavinia took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats over a weekend! She was excellent with communicating, and the animals and house were in tip top shape! She also created an awesome painting of one of our dogs 💓 we will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”


“Communicative, friendly, and sent great pictures throughout the stay. House was clean and my pup was happy and calm when I returned - which is a great sign that she enjoyed her week with Eric!”

“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”

“Nikole was amazing!!!!! She took care of our favorite child, our mini- schnauzer, watched our cats and fed all 90 of our fish in our fish tanks while house sitting for a week. She updated us multiple times a day, sent videos, photos, and was clear with communication. She took great care of our house shoveled our driveway without being asked and left it in tip top shape. We walked in to a clean home with soft music playing on the tv with videos of dogs playing to keep our pop occupied. She travels with our highest recommendation and we plan on using her all the time moving forward!”

About: Dog sitting was my first job as a teenager. My mom actually gave me the idea to start because she never wanted to have a pet, so this was such a fun compromise! Since then I’ve dog sat for small, medium and large dogs! I myself am an active person and love to be active with a furry friend! It’s nice to have company on a walk run or even someone to explore new parks with! I work full time but my schedule is fairly flexible! I am a therapist and have ability to work from home at times as long as I am not in a session or scheduled to run group therapy! I am happy to stay at your home and care for your pet with the instructions you give! I am happy to walk, play, pet, feed and clean up after your dog.
“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”

“David saved the day when he stayed with our special needs dog and senior cat. We trusted they were in good hands and I am not sure they noticed we were even gone!”

“Emily was great - very attentive and responsible and left a very happy dog and a very clean house. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to our friends. We feel so fortunate to have found her.”

“Gianna is the absolute best. She was able to take care of BOTH of my crazy huskies on top of it being during the holiday season. It gave me peace of mind that she was also able to keep an eye on my house as well. Will certainly rebook with her again!!”

About: I have fed and taken care of my roommates Pit Bull and 4 cats for a year. I am respectful, responsible and adaptable. I love animals and walking. I have an open schedule, so pet care fits perfectly into my life! I’m available Monday-Saturday 7 am to 10pm. Can be available on Sunday. I interact with animals in a very kind and caring manner. I take my roommates pets for daily walks and feed them dinner. I also play with them.

Madeline took wonderful care of Dottie Mae and June Bug while we were away. She provided consistent communication throughout their stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Madeline was a fantastic caretaker, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Saoirse was great with my pets! I had been burned before with previous sitters and they were very understanding about my concerns. Saoirse sent me pictures of my babes through the week, took my dog Sammy on an adventure. She kept me updated and very comfortable with her care of them. I would highly recommend her, and definitely would invite her to sit for me again. Thank you !

Ashlynn was great with our two dogs and their cousin, all staying at our house for the weekend. They absolutely love her, they took to her the minute she arrived when we did the meet and greet. They latched on to her upon her arrival for the weekend as well. I don’t even think they noticed we left, they were so captivated by Ashlynn. Great communication during the stay. We will definitely book with Ashlynn again if she is available.

Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻
