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.

Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!

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!

An amazing sitter! Ana Sofia checked in regularly, and sent pictures along with a daily summary. I felt very sure all of our animals were in great hands. One of my cats was prescribed an oral medication and Ana Sofia was able to continue with the treatment plan while I was gone. I will be returning for future pet sitting needs!

About: I adore dogs but with a busy career and a teenager with bazillion sports, I prefer to get my dose of canine love through dog sitting! As an educator by trade, I treat the dogs I care for with lots of love. Dogs don’t talk back and it is so much more pleasant 🙂 I am an educator by trade and have summers off, so I’m looking to add some local dog sitting gigs while I have extra time off. I have two small balconies in my condo, and have boarded dogs in my home for up to 6 weeks while dog mom travels. I also do drop ins and have much more flexibility in the summer.

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!

Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!

Arshneel was so great with Rhubarb! She sent updates with photos and videos (which we love!) and was communicative about Rhubarb. We asked ahead of time the best way to care for Rhubarb given the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a very clean apartment and happy dog, and would definitely book with her again!

I cannot recommend Ainsley enough!!! She came to hang out with Daisy ( our cavapoo) a few times leading up to her staying at our house. She is so sweet and so good with nervous puppies. I was so happy when we came home and saw how much Daisy loved being with Ainsley. We will definitely be booking with Ainsley again. Her communication with me while we were away was amazing I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog.

Tommy’s been helping care for my high-maintenance and anxious dog Juju for a few months now and he’s taken amazing care of her and gone the extra mile to be responsive and flexible. He’s super responsible, experienced, and absolutely loves dog. Juju adores him. I’m grateful to have established this relationship and will be working with Tommy in the future!

Cyn took excellent care of our 3 small dogs in our home while we were away on a 5 day trip. Our Morkie takes awhile to warm up to strangers but Cyn was eventually able to get her to go on walks with the rest of the pack. We received updates and photos every day, walks to the nearby park and throwing the ball for our mini Aussie (sorry he doesn't retrieve the ball!). While our dogs were excited to see us return, they went right back to their normal behavior soon after. This is the main reason we hired Cyn to stay in our home and know she took special care of our loved ones. Upon picking up our mini aussie after boarding with a local business, he was "shell shocked" for a day or 2 after which is exactly why we are so grateful to have found Cyn as a caretaker.

Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.
