1. Angelica A.
“Angelica goes above & beyond as a cat sitter! I love the pictures she includes in my pet’s report card. It makes me feel like my babies are getting the love & attention the deserve. We’ll continue to book her for our cats!!”
2. Kristy F.
“Kristy helped out with bringing Sapphire to the vet for his B12 injection, and took excellent care of Sapphire along the way, also giving me updates, and letting me know everything I needed to know after the visit, which was incredibly helpful. I'm grateful for her help, as I have chronic illnesses, and I needed a break for a couple of weeks from all the vet appointments. I will hire Kristy again whenever I need a sitter to watch Sapphire, or if I need help again getting him to a vet appointment.”
3. Alley P.
“Alley was great! My little girl is very shy, but Alley took the time to try to make her comfortable while she was here. Her visit updates and photos were also really nice.”

6. Gabriella F.
“Gabriella is a truly responsible and loving pet caregiver. Every time she comes around, the dogs light up with excitement — they absolutely adore her! She’s attentive, gentle, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with any pet.”
7. Nicholas B.
“Nick is a great sitter! He was flexible, checked in regularly with me, and spent extra time with our kitty, Luna! We had special requests for Nick since Luna goes outdoors with a harness and lead (like a dog) and he was wonderful with her. He is caring, warm, and friendly and we highly recommend him for your pets! Thank you, Nick! - Jess & Rich”
8. Cosette L.
“First time using this service. I was really impressed with Cosette. She was able to make my cats feel comfortable enough to play and just be themselves. I would definitely recommend her and hope to have her sit with our cats next time we are away.”
9. Riley K.
“Riley has a genuine connection with animals. She understands animal behavior and knows how to respond with patience and professionalism. Whether she's working with an energetic puppy, an older dog, or a skittish rescue animal, Riley knows how to read their cues and respond appropriately. She is also great at communicating with owners as well as being trustworthy and on time. As someone who has owned a number of dogs and cats of different ages and needs, I would easily recommend Riley as a pet sitter or dog walker to anyone in need of an excellent animal caregiver!”
10. marissa h.
“If she is available, Marissa is our first choice to watch our dogs. She is responsible and we have peace of mind when she is there. In addition, she loves the dogs and they love her. She spends time playing with them and exercising them. She knows the house rules having to do with the dogs and she respects them. They are in good hands when she is takes care of them.”
11. Elizabeth H.
About: I've grown up with pets since I was born. We currently still have a dog at home today as well as a puppy we are training! I also have a cat of my own. I take time with you and your pet to understand their personality, routine, and specific need. The happiness of your pets makes me happy :) I'm a college student with the summer off so I'm available almost anytime! When visiting another home, I treat pet care as a professional commitment and a personal joy I am excited to learn about your pets routine and preferred lifestyle. When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being. I tailor my approach based on each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality.

14. Elena M.
“Elena has cared for several of my dogs over the years. At one point there were 3 at a time. Elena has always been punctual with her arrival times and is a very responsible dog sitter. Her passion for animals and keeping them safe and happy is obvious. She enjoys playing with and feeding them and willingly gives medications when necessary. I highly recommend Elena for pet sitting services!”

About: I have been caring for animals since childhood. I can take care and provide company to your pet. My experience consists of taking care of different breeds like Doberman, schnauzer french bulldogs. I have an open a schedule so I am very flexible. I am not currently working full time so I can accommodate any scheduling or need. I have an open space where my dog enjoys and is guarded from running away. I take great care of the pets starting from walking and taking basic care.

18. Carolyn L.
“Carolyn been around dogs since she was a young girl. She is very responsible, comfortable with pets, and an animal lover. She’s also helped care for neighbors’ pets, for example, when they are on vacation.”
19. Colleen R.
“I honestly don’t know where to begin—Colleen is everything I was looking for and more. I have a very sensitive and energetic Australian Shepherd named Maria, and she absolutely LOVES Colleen. From the moment they met, there was a bond. Colleen is loving, kind, and has the nurturing touch of a nanny with the professionalism of a seasoned executive (which she actually is!). What sets her apart is how present and committed she is—Colleen was with Maria 24/7. She took her to dog parks, on errands, out for walks around the city, and they even cuddled in bed. I got constant photo and video updates that made me feel so connected and reassured. She respected all of my home boundaries, kept the place clean, and was just an all-around stellar communicator. And—get this—Maria had a birthday while I was away, and Colleen made her a homemade dog-safe birthday cake complete with candles and a party hat! Who does that?!? I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog and home in someone’s care. Colleen is trustworthy, warm, and truly goes above and beyond. I feel so lucky to have found her.”
20. Regina A.
“Regina is the fairy dog mother that fostered my shelter pup, Pascal, until I adopted him. When I visited her house for the first meetup with Pascal, her spacious living room was this serene peaceful environment for her cats and older Cavalier spaniel. These calm adoptive sisters and brothers helped my puppy learn so many good manners and social cues that I barely had to do any training by the time I took him home! Regina provides a loving, calm home, and provides tips and help whenever I need them. She's even already dog-sat my pup again and again, and he loves seeing his first and oldest friends!”
