“Sophia was great! Sent us tons of photos while we were away. She took great care of our senior dog and two cats. Very polite and communicative. Our babies will sure miss her until the next booking!”


“We are so grateful for Rachelle! Our senior kitty recently said goodbye to her sister and Rachelle was so understanding and reassuring when we had to leave. She gave daily updates and clearly showed our Pockets care and affection. I would absolutely refer her to anyone with fur babies!”


“We wholeheartedly recommend Ivy! She provided everything that our Sally needed during the 4 days we were gone. Excellent communication and always on time!”


“Great job!”



“Celine was super great, she came by a few days early to do a meet and greet and got to know everything about our pups before hand. She showed up on time, has a great attitude and did a perfect job. We will book again and I highly recommend”


“Xylia is a sunny force of kindness! My very particular cat was cool with her from the jump, and he fared well during the whole holiday in! Xylia’s so present and communicative, and lovely to be around. I’ve come back to a healthy and well loved cat who had a brilliant connection with Xylia. He looked like himself in the photos, and Xylia worked so hard to make sure he was comforted and safe in my apt. Am immeasurably grateful!”


“Esther was amazing with our sweet Booger. She was very communicative and took very good care of our dog. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Caylee was amazing with Yuzu, she kept us updated while we were running errands during the day and took our girl out for a walk around the neighborhood. She even stayed an extra hour longer for us which we super appreciated! On her way out, Yuzu wanted to follow her out, so we know she’s a superfan. Thanks, Caylee!”


“Our dog and cats were very happy, and Savoy was a great house sitter!”



“Elliot was so great Rambo! I lm always nervous about my dog with new people. These two got along like old pals. Highly recommend.”


“Jaidi is truly incredible! This is their third stay with my dog and she’s very quickly become my go to dog sitter. My flight was cancelled overnight and delayed multiple times the next day, and Jaidi was incredibly accommodating helping to take care of my Bella, easing my mind significantly during a stressful time. We’re so lucky to have her in our life!”



“I can’t thank Nia enough for her stay with our boston terrier for almost entire month of August. She has been in touch with me daily with pictures and ongoing updates. Nia is caring, kind, very organized and attentive to details. Luna has been super happy and misses her new friend now that Im back. It has been the first time when I wasn’t worried about Luna while I was away for weeks. Highly recommend Nia for everyone whose pet is part of their family. So grateful.”

“Amy was great! Super communicative and friendly. When I came home my cat was happy, bed was stripped as requested, and she even left me a loaf of bread. I would love to hire Amy again anytime, thank you Amy!”


“Sergine was absolutely wonderful with Smokey! From the moment I met her, I felt confident leaving my beloved dog in her care—and she truly exceeded all expectations. Throughout my trip, Sergine sent daily photos, videos, and thoughtful updates on Smokey’s eating habits and overall well-being. It was such a relief to know he was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and happy. When I returned home, Smokey was full of energy, healthy, and clearly had been well looked after. On top of that, the house was spotless—just as we left it, if not better! I’m incredibly grateful for Sergine’s care and can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Sergine!”


“Jana was a great sitter for Theodore! We had unexpected maintenance issues with the apartment almost as soon as she arrived - Jana communicated them immediately and was so flexible as we figured it out from a distance. Theodore was happy to have the company and we got lots of wonderful pictures & videos of the two of them. We're so grateful to Jana and will book her again the next time we're out of town.”


“Another great stay with Greg. He is our go-to sitter for our dog. We were away for a few days on vacation, and Greg came to take care of our dog at our place. He provided daily updates with photos to let us know how everything went. Greg took great care of both our little girl and our home. He is extremely responsible with everything. Cannot recommend Greg enough!”


“Ketevan is one of the best , caring, loving and compassionate sitter I ever had. I feel safe leaving my baby with her. She kept the house clean, played with Blue, even tougher him basic obedience training. After various unpleasant experiences with sitters, I feel lucky that I found the right person. I highly recommend Ketevan to every pet owner. Thank you Ketevan (Kate)”
