1. Andrea M.

“We’ve greatly appreciated Andrea’s flexibility, kindness and great communication. Shelley has clearly enjoyed the care as well - after day one, she hustled straight to the door for drop-off and can hardly wait to get inside to start her care. Andrea also very kindly gifted Shelley toys that she loved to bits (literally). This sitter is pet and pet parent recommended.”


2. Jennifer E.

“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry. And to be honest the best part of this review is, Larry is wildly excited to see Jennifer each morning she watches him. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating as well. My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”

“Kasandra is amazing with my puppy, Peach! Peach gets so excited to see her every morning, which says it all. She’s reliable, follows Peach’s feeding schedule, takes her on walks, and always makes sure she gets plenty of playtime and snuggles. I also love that she sends me updates throughout the day. It’s clear she really cares, and I feel so at ease knowing Peach is in such good hands.”

7. Alvaro H.

“Alvaro took great care of our dog, Violet, and I’m so happy we found him! He offered to feed Violet dinner and even picked her up when she was afraid to go down the stairs. What initially drew me to Alvaro’s profile was that he has a dog about the same size as mine. His profile mentioned his dog is dog-friendly and so is mine, so I thought it would be a great fit. He shared photos of the pups playing and getting sniffy, which was very appreciated. I would not hesitate to reach out and rebook when we are visiting the area. Thank you Alvaro!”


8. Kathryn G.
“Kathy is kind, generous and loving. She’s the perfect person to sit for your doggie. I’ve witnessed the love & care she had for her pup, Fluffy. She’s been a sitter for my dog, Georgie, in the past and she was fantastic!”




9. Marisa I.
“Marisa is such a loving young woman to both people and animals alike. As long as I’ve known her, she’s had pets - dogs, fish, birds - and they live full and happy lives. She works with children daily, and proves to be a responsible caretaker with a heart of gold. 10/10 would recommend.”


10. Michael G.
About: I own 1 dog (less than 1 year old) and 2 cats (8 years and 2 years old), whom I've cared from for 4 years. As a relatively new dog owner, I have educated myself in how to best care for my pets, building a warm, playful, and safe environment for them. I live in a home with a medium sized fenced in backyard. I treat all animals as if they were my own, catering to their and their owner's needs. Before any confirmation, I will make sure that my pets will get along with yours through a meet and greet. I work from home and able to give attention and watch over any pet throughout the day. I will typically take my pup out at least once every two hours, with longer walks in the morning and evening. My backyard is fenced in and serves as a playground for playing fetch, or simply enjoying some time outside. My goal is to provide a safe and trusting environment for the pets.

19. Endre Z.

“From the very first time he took care of my dog, Mousey, Endre has consistently shown his professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I can confidently say that he is the best sitter I could have ever hoped for. Over the years, Endre has looked after Mousey during countless vacations and business trips. Each time, he has gone above and beyond to ensure Mousey is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. He sends regular updates with photos and videos, showing Mousey enjoying his walks, playtime, and even some cozy naps. It’s always reassuring to see how comfortable and content Mousey is with him. Endre’s dedication is truly remarkable. He remembers all of Mousey’s quirks and preferences, from his favorite toys to his specific dietary needs. There was even a time when Mousey had a minor health issue, and Endre handled it with such care and efficiency, taking him to the vet and keeping me informed every step of the way. What stands out the most is Endre’s ability to build a strong bond with Mousey. He gets excited every time he sees him, which speaks volumes about the trust and affection they share. Knowing that Mousey is in such capable and loving hands allows me to travel with complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Endre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for Mousey and look forward to many more years of his excellent care.”
