“Timothy did a wonderful job looking after our dog Junie during Thanksgiving. He was extremely communicative and sent us update messages and pictures of Junie throughout the trip. He also took her on a lot of walks and outings and played and cuddled with her to keep her engaged. He left our place extremely clean when he left and we would happily have him over again to look after Junie.”
“Thelma took great care of my dog, Scarlett, during a recent trip. She was easy to communicate with, sent photos often, the house was in perfect order, and Scarlett was happy and well fed when I returned.”
“Eileen was excellent! Very organized, spent a lot of time with Milo and kept us abreast of his daily activities. I asked Milo how she was and he just smiled and wagged his tail. I was more than pleased with her services and very positive attitude!”
“Malek was amazing!! He really loves animals and treated out two huskies and cat like royalty. He sent us updates on them and photos. We were always in the know. We came back and they were very well taken care of, I would use him again!”
“Vanessa was a perfect house sitter. She obviously really cares about animals and it shows. She followed our instructions perfectly and asked a lot of questions (which I always appreciate). When I was unclear about which medication to give Abbey, she made sure to clarify with me instead of making a bad assumption. Our house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely hire her again.”
“It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her. The minute they met he was all over her to play and was really worried that with his high energy it may be too much to handle. Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.”
“Vicky was great with our two labs! They can be handful but Vicky had no issues and took great care of them. Vicky sent us updates and was super responsive. I highly recommend!”
“This was Belarria’s first time with a pet sitter she didn’t know. Since I’m her primary person and she basically mopes when I’m gone, even if being looked after by someone she knows and loves, I didn’t have any expectation that she would become best pals or anything, and that was the case and is fine. But she warmed up to Omar quickly when I was there. And she felt secure enough with him to sleep in the bed when the fireworks were happening and take comfort from his presence. She did take treats and medicine (she broke a dew claw right before we went away) from him. I’m extremely happy with the care Omar provided and will be using his services again. Highly recommend.”
“Mark is the reliable, kind dog sitter of my dreams... And Daisy's! She's always indifferent when I get home which means I know she's had a blast when I'm gone. Thanks, Mark!”
“Jeffrey saved the day with our anxious pup during a recent stay - while helping us sort out a FedEx delivery AND a problem with our deadbolt! He goes far above and beyond anything one should expect from a sitter and delivered amazing care for our dog who needed to be coaxed into eating and drinking while we were away. He’s also a great communicator who will keep you informed and share lots of pet photos and videos. Recommend Jeffrey highly, but please leave some time on his schedule for us! 😂 He’s a keeper!”
“Tabatha was absolutely perfect!!!! She was prompt for the arrival time, she kept us updated with photos and messages. We felt very relaxed knowing our babies were in good hands!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenny provided! She was responsible, attentive, and truly empathetic with our two dogs, making them feel safe and loved while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We especially appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. She even went out of her way to ship something we had forgotten at home—above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”
“Don did a great job watching our Maggie! He was very responsive to us and attentive to our little girl. He would often send us pics of her while we were away. Communication was great and Don did just as he said he would. He even stayed later for us due to our flight being delayed. 100% hope to book Don in the future!”
“Trustworthy and reliable! We needed a pet sitter for our cat and dog for week, and Alon (Sherm) was on top of everything. Daily medication, potty breaks and cuddles included. Great communication and instructions followed. Will definitely book again for my future pet sitting needs.”
“Heidy took such good care of of our dog and cat while we were away. Our dog is anxious and does not like change and she was so happy being with Heidy, who stayed at our house to keep them company. We would definitely use Heidy again!”
“The best dog sitter! My dog loves her and she sends check ins throughout. Gets your dogs energy out by playing with them and is very attentive. She noticed my dog hadn’t eaten enough at daycare and fed him more and all over was so sweet. Definitely book her”
“Lauren is fantastic! She did such a great job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a wedding. She asked great questions, was very communicative, and was all around a great pet sitter. Looking forward to booking her again for any future trips.”
“Abigail (Lingshan) did a wonderful job of taking care of Ziva. She sent photos and description of their walks together. And descriptions were personalized and you can tell she enjoyed taking care of our dog. Would definitely recommend her!”

Eileen house sat for our 2 cats for 4 nights while we were out of town, and we were very happy with her work; everything went smoothly and Morty and Bokki seemed completely relaxed and comfortable around her, which was great to see. We came home and everything was clean and in order, and Morty and Bokki were in good health. I couldn't have asked for a smoother experience, and I highly recommend her.
Kirsten took excellent care of our large puppy while we were out of town. It was the first time that we left him overnight and she made sure that he was comfortable with her before we left town. She checked in and sent photos. He administered his medicine and took him on neighborhood walks. I can’t say enough about what a thoughtful and caring person she is. Thank you, Kirsten!
Omar was so thoughtful, sending us photos of our pup on a daily basis. He did a meet and greet with her/us to make sure everyone was comfortable before the actual sitting dates. Our dog took to him very easily and we were immediately reassured all would be fine while we were gone. He was very responsive to our questions and took care of our house as well, ensuring mail/packages we received were brought in and stored. Would definitely recommend using him/them for your needs.
Yuandi is such a caring and reliable sitter. Tuffi is a very senior cat. With Yuandi I know she will be well cared for and loved. I really appreciated the pictures and notes Yuandi sent me after every visit. They let me know Tuffi's in good hands. I can't recommend her enough.
It’s always hard to leave my pups but Sarah made it easy. This was our first time using Sarah’s services. She stayed in our home while we were vacationing watching our 2 dogs. She sent pictures every day. Our dogs were happy and the house was just as we left it upon our return. We would definitely use Sarah again. Thanks Sarah
Angelina (aka Phoebe) did a marvelous job of house sitting and taking care of our three pets, two cats and a dog. They were clean and cared for, Our Aussie Apple enjoyed her walks, and our cats were relaxed and cogent when we came home. We highly recommend Phoebe as a first rate pet watcher and caretaker.
Christian was excellent from start to beginning. He is very professional and asked a lot of question about my kitty. He took very good care of her and she enjoyed having him around. We came home to an happy cat. We got several photos. I strongly recommend his services.
Min is an absolutely excellent sitter!! She was able to watch Lily with very short notice after our previous sitter had to cancel and was comfortable administering oral medication after an unexpected pre-vacation emergency vet visit. Lily was in great hands and Min made sure she got in a ton of exercise, too. We were so grateful to have someone so capable, kind, and communicative while we were out of town. We will definitely book with Min again and highly recommend!
