“We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Tommy was a fantastic sitter for Pearl while I was away! They were very responsive to my texts and I got plenty of updates throughout my trip. Pearl got ton of attention and cuddles and Tommy was very neat and kept the house tidy. I’ll definitely have Tommy care for Pearl again in the future!”
“Cynthia was very responsive and responsible right from the beginning. Given that we had had some past unpleasant experiences with house sitting, she was very receptive to our instructions and kept us informer. On the day of our return, as our flight was landing late, she offered to stay back late till we arrived! We would be definitely using her services quite often.”
“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”
“Claire provided regular updates of play and walks and feeding schedules for our dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend. Would recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Ella is amazing. She takes amazing care of our dog Chessy. She updates us consistently and we 100% trust her with longer stays to keep him safe and happy. She’s the best!”
“Angie was so wonderful! She really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands and we could trust her. highly recommend! I’m so sad to be moving but whoever books her, she is great and gives great care!”
“Belkis was super communicative and helped us out in a last minute bind. We had no doubts Piper was in good hands, and she looked happy and snoozy from the long walks and park visits. I definitely recommend Belkis!”
“Jackie was very professional and sweet with Willie- she took great care of my apartment and was great at staying in touch with me while I was away. Absolutely will book with her again!”

“Mirabel always sends great updates and photos! She has taken care of our dog and 2 cats a couple of times, and they are always happy and healthy when we return!”
“We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!”
“Super happy with Lizzy! She took great care of my pets while I was away. She sent photos, was communicative and thoughtful, and left my home tidy. I fully trust her with both my animals and my home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have four dogs at home in Wisconsin (golden retriever, black lab, and two German shepherds!). I miss them a whole bunch and would love the opportunity to hang out and take care of any dogs! As a recent college graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays throughout most weekdays and weekends. I love spending time with dogs and can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s specific routine whenever possible. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and following owner instructions carefully. I’ll treat your pet like my own, providing a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“Kristen did a great job housesitting and taking care of our 93 lb chocolate lab! She was very clean, took Jake for a walk, and even drove him to his doggie daycare the next morning. She send plenty of pictures and communication as well!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”

This was the third time Rachel has cared for our senior dog. She did a wonderful job communicating updates and sending pictures throughout the stay. Moreover, we came home to a very happy and relaxed dog! It's such a relief to find someone you trust in your home and with your pet!
Stacy was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious and playful dog while I was out of town. She was highly communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend Stacy's services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Katie did a great job. She took the time to get to know us, as well as Maisie and Jack and their routines. She made sure to do this before she came to care for them. Maisie and Jack are two senior pups and what they need most is comfort and companionship. It was clear that Katie offered them all of that and more. They were quite content when we came home, which is the best sign of success. Katie kept us posted during our trip with updates and funny videos that made us feel better about being away. The house was perfect and we stepped back in as if we never left. She was very thoughtful about everything. I hope that the next time we travel Katie is available again. Thank you Katie, you made our wonderful get-away worry-free!
My dogs are older with reactivity and separation anxiety. I've had issues with getting the right sitter but Nadya did awesome. The meet and greet went well. Nadya was comfortable with their complex med regimens (each are on at least 3 meds each, and once twice a day) and walking the both of them. I had zero complaints about barking from my neighbor and landlord, which was an issue in the past. Nadya obviously loves dogs as well
Amazing pet and house sitter. We felt completely at ease being out of the country while Sofia watched our beagle and stayed at our house. Everything was neat and clean, dog fed and walked, plants watered. Would highly recommend Sofia and hope to hire her again!!
Ali was amazing! Our normal sitter was unavailable and she took perfect care of Mabel and Bugs, our dog and cat respectively. She sent many updates, handled last minute requests, and communicated perfectly! We were always so happy with her updates and will definitely book with her again!
Another 5-Star review for Yanira. Yanira is the best of the best. We have used her many times to dog sit our sheltie, Pepper, and she has always provided outstanding care. Our instructions are always followed, photos and updates are sent regularly, and our house is left immaculate when we return. We have complete peace of mind knowing Pepper is in such loving and reliable hands. Yanira is wonderful, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Yanira.
