1. Angelina T.


“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”


2. Victoria B.

“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


3. Emily E.

“Emily was INCREDIBLE with my dog Mabel while I was gone for a weekend for a wedding. She stayed in my home, took such good care of my dog and my house, was so prompt with updates & pics, and then went above and beyond and left me a super detailed note about their time together & how much she loved her!! Truly haven’t had a dog sitter make me feel so comfortable leaving my girl with someone (crazy dog mom, hi!). Will 10/10 rebook Emily ◡̈”


4. Cynthia C.

“Cynthia is absolutely amazing and we feel so lucky to have found her. Our dogs always have a great time with her and she sends tons of pictures keeping us updated on their shenanigans”


5. Noor F.

“I contacted Noor the evening before I was leaving the country for a 10-day trip when the cat sitter I had booked months in advance had a last minute emergency and let me know she couldn't make it. I was frantic. Noor responded and was very reassuring, flexible and accommodating to the last-minute nature of my request. In addition, my cat Max is very sweet and well-behaved but is challenging because he spends most of his time outdoors and one never knows when he is around to let him back in. Noor paid attention to his comings and goings and kept me well-informed so that I didn't worry that he'd be out in the rain or out without food. She sent me photos and videos and most importantly to me, she really bonded with him so that I felt entirely able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She's a gem and I wouldn't think twice about asking her to come back.”


6. Tom Y.

“Tom did a great job caring for our cat and dog on a weekend we went away. He took great care to communicate promptly and made us feel secure knowing our pets were well cared for!”


7. Luis R.

“Luis is honestly one of the best caregivers I've found for my elderly dog. He is patient and kind, and I have absolute confidence that my old girl is in excellent hands when I need to leave her. I rebooked Luis within days of his last stay. I recommend him without reservation!”


8. Kay O.

“Kay was fantastic with my anxious senior pup Phoebe, and made us both feel so comfortable. Phoebe has a complicated meds routine and Kay was super diligent with it. She understands Phoebe's communication style, and I can tell that Phoebe loves and trusts her. I will definitely to ask Kay to sit for Phoebe again 🙂”


9. Maybelline C.

“Maybelline was punctual and took great care of my sweet boy, Oliver. They really enjoyed spending time outside in the nice weather, and Oliver loved his belly rubs and cuddles when back indoors. Maybelline was very kind and communicative throughout the day. I appreciate her keeping Oliver company and will definitely reach out to her again when the need arises. ☺️”


10. Irichiya H.

“As always, came back home to two happy pets and a nice clean house. Irie is fantastic to work with and has great communication. Really nice to enjoy vacation without worrying about being away. Definitely recommend her!”


11. Lizz A.
“Lizz is.....amazing. We have three cats, one who is currently a kitten with a little bit of a breathing issue, a big siberian and a third cat that you never really see. We went to Europe for a trip and we needed to hire a house sitter to stay home, especially because of the kitten. As soon as Lizz came for a meet and greet I knew it was the right match. Buzz was in her arms purring. While we were gone, Lizz kept us updated constantly with photos, videos and updates on the kitten's breathing issue. She bathed the kittens nose constantly, and washed his eyes. She tried a bunch of different foods with him as well, since his breathing issue effects his smelling ability. She treated our animals exactly how I wanted them to be treated. I am very anxious about my animals and not once was I worried while being over 3000 miles away. Lizz left our house spotless too, I spent an hour cleaning just my kitchen before we left, and somehow it was even CLEANER when I got home! Buzz is especially missing Lizz now that she is gone. We are looking forward to having Lizz take care of our cats again sometime soon!!”


12. Isabel B.

“Isabel did a great job watching our dog Winnie for us. She even taught her some new tricks! 100% would recommend.”


13. Aly C.
“To whom it may concern, Aly (Alicea Corbitt) is a amazing addition to any kind of team, especially in customer service. Alicea is a hard working, dedicated, passionate person and worker. I've had the pleasure of working with her on many occasions, never disappointed me or our fellow colleague's. Working for GMZ Movers, Aly has gone above & beyond. Due to her, we have become increasingly gender equivalent as well.”


14. Anastasia S.

“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”




15. Tibisay G.

“Tibi was an excellent sitter for our 10 month old pup that is full of energy and personality. Tibi stayed at our place for 5 days and we returned to a spotless home and a very happy puppy. She was communicative, sending pictures every day and filling us in on what they were up to on their walks and adventures. Will definitely work with Tibi again in the future. Thanks!”


16. Erin T.

“Erin is the best dog sitter we have ever work with. She was professional and punctual, and kept us updated all the time regarding our pups. On top of everything she took care of the garbage, her linens laundry and food. We look forward to working with her again soon.”


17. Mary G.


“Mary saved the day when my regular sitter fell through. She kept my energetic dog happy and entertained, and even sent me a few great photos of their time together. Highly recommend!”


18. James H.
“James is both a responsible and caring pet sitter & dog walker. James is great with animals and not only provides great care but goes the extra mile to understand pets and their needs. He has taken care of our family dog Riley for years. We needed some extra help when we first got Riley as a puppy and James has been a great help. Even when Riley was a puppy and not well trained, James had a lot of patience with Riley and has always been flexible to dog sit or walk him when we need. He is super responsible and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a pet sitter or dog walker!”


19. Sarina W.
“Sarina is one of the most caring people I know, both to people and furry friends alike! She always goes out of her way to take care of others and it's evident in the strong bonds that she has built. If someone needed special requests fulfilled, she would happily oblige. Sarina is definitely that person who enters a home and happily welcomes any dog that comes her way-- I know she does so with mine! My dog is not always an easy dog to handle, and he absolutely loves her and she knows exactly how to manage the situation at hand. I've also seen how sweet and caring she is with her own kitty, Winston. I truly think that she would be a wonderful dog walker!”


20. Sofia H.
“Sofia is a responsible and mature individual who really loves all animals, and dogs in particular. She cares deeply about the wellbeing of animals and is a very energetic companion to dogs. I would have no hesitation leaving my pet in her capable care.”
