3. Malia K.
“Took very good care of my babies and left my house clean while I was out of town. She was a lifesaver — able to book last minute when my other sitter was sick. I’d definitely recommend Malia!”
4. Samantha P.
“Samantha took care of my 5 year old Vizsla pup for a multi day housesitting stay and was just incredible - her communication leading up to and during the stay was impeccable, she was punctual, attentive to details, sent me multiple pictures and check ins a day, took amazing care of the house, and overall just showered my dog with love and listened to every instruction I left and beyond. I would 110% highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. Thank you Samantha and I will definitely be re-booking with you!”
5. Isaiah W.
“My dog, Odin, and cat, Franz, clearly really liked Isaiah. Isaiah sent me a ton of pictures and updates during my trip which helped me feel a lot better during my week long vacation. Also, he got Franz to come hang out with him (Franz usually does not like people) so I am pretty impressed. I was concerned, though, that Odin and Franz would like him better than me. (lol).”
6. Cesar S.
“Cesar went above and beyond looking after our high-energy Dutchie, Meli. We were away for 10 days, and Meli had a great time. They went on long walks, adventures to Point Isabel, Fort Funston, and lots of ball-playing at the park. Cesar was a very welcome house guest, keeping everything clean and tidy while we were gone. We will definitely reach out to Cesar again next time we head out of town!”
7. Ana C.
“Ana was absolutely fantastic! Extremely thorough and transparent and communicative the entire stay. We had complete trust in them and were able to relax fully on our trip! They sent photos and updates frequently and we'd absolutely book again!!”
8. Charlii C.
“Charlii was amazing during the 3 weeks she house sat for us and our 3 pets. She sent daily updates and pictures/videos and took terrific care of both our animals and our home. She is calm and sweet, and extremely communicative. This was truly the best house/pet sitting experience we had. We couldn't recommend her more!”
9. Danielle G.
“Our dog Magpie loves Dani! She makes sure to spend quality time with our dog and really understands her. This time she had to give medications and keep her calm after a surgery. We returned home to a tidy house and happy dog. Thanks!”
10. Linda L.
“Strongly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Linda provided us with daily updates and bonded immediately with both of our cats. One of our kitties can be a bit shy, but she warmed up to Linda right away! Thank you so much Linda!”
11. Lisa P.
“Lisa is responsible, professional and overall a wonderful care giver and person! We went on a 5 day trip and left Lisa care instructions for our pup, Kylo. She followed our care guide perfectly and even went above and beyond to provide us updates and photos. When we got back we could tell Kylo was well taken care of and had a great time with his new friend. He is very excited whenever he gets to see Lisa now! We will be requesting Lisa to dog sit for us for future trips and highly recommend her!”
12. Jasmine G.
“We have a VERY anxious, scared-of-strangers doggie. Jasmine is so patient, so calm, so gentle that after a bit, he got comfortable with her. We were very impressed with how responsible and how unruffled she's been. She kept in communication with us well and sent videos and photos. We'd definitely recommend Jasmine.”
13. William W.
“Great stay with Gus over a holiday week. Our dog is a rottie and Gus knew just how to manage her; she was cozying up to him in no time. She was well cared for, the house was super tidy and clean when we returned. Gus sent regular updates to let us know that all was well. We will definitely try and hire him again!”
