“Mafalda amazing sitter! Super communicative, always on time, and truly cared for our pups. She went above and beyond when one of our pups had an accident in the crate—handled everything perfectly. She also spent quality time with them, not just quick visits. We came home to happy dogs and will absolutely book her again!”

“I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kisses—which says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldn’t ask for more!”

She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

“Nicky was the most professional person. Arriving a few minutes early to ensure he got everything he needed done prior to arriving (securing parking, front desk reception etc.). Asked thoughtful questions about the care of our dog. Checked in throughout the day, and ensured our dog was walked throughout the day. Our dog LOVED him And even gave him her paw (which she only does when she is comfortable). You could tell he truly cares about dogs/animals. Anytime Nicky is free we’d love for him to sit our dog Bagheera any day. Could not ask for a better sitter.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs — and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether it’s a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! 🐾✨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.

I are beyond grateful to have found Mafalda! She has been day-sitting in our home and taking incredible care of both of my dogs—our brand-new 3-month-old Pomeranian and our 8-year-old Pomapoo. From day one, she has been so attentive and loving, making sure both dogs feel comfortable and happy. She gives them tons of cuddles, plenty of playtime, and thoughtful attention throughout the day with so many walks. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and the dogs absolutely adore her. Having someone I trust completely in my home with my pups gives me such peace of mind. I’m so thankful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.

Jackie was wonderful (again) with our two dogs while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in good hands, which made it much easier to relax while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with our dogs again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!

This is Susha's second time acting as Ernie's groomer lol. At least, that's what he says. The boy loves getting brushed (and fed and given treats), and Susha does all that like a pro. Additionally, the house was spotless when I returned. Her communications are great, and I highly recommend Susha as a petsitter. Except, of course, when I'm out of town.

We had an absolutely amazing experience and cannot recommend Genesis enough. She was available same day over the Christmas holiday after our original dog sitter unexpectedly became unavailable, which alone was such a relief. She met with us within hours, was extremely professional, and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly friendly and engaging with our dogs, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Since this was our first time trusting someone we didn’t know, her calm and confident demeanor made all the difference. Throughout the entire sit, she provided consistent updates—letting us know when the dogs ate, went out for potty breaks, woke up, and went to sleep. Those updates gave us so much peace of mind, and we truly felt comfortable the entire time we were away. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will 100% be using her again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—our dogs were in great hands!

Lauren came to stay at our house for a little under a week to watch our dog, Benji. Benji loved her from the start, which was very reassuring since he is a rescue and can be quite nervous around new people. She was communicative throughout the whole stay and went above and beyond to take good care of him. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her watch Benji again!

We had a fantastic experience with Gary! Communication was very simple & easy. He spent time making sure he understood how we wanted things done. He kept us posted with pictures. Gary was also very flexible regarding a curve ball we threw him. But most important of all, our dogs loved him!! They are absolutely involved with any sitter selection we make. We had 8 “paws up” from them on Gary. It becomes obvious within seconds of meeting Gary that he’s a dog lover and a kind, gentle, positive person. We recommend him without hesitation and will definitely use him again in the future.

Daniela took such great care of our boys — our wild Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy and our senior Shih Tzu — and handled them like a total pro. She was super patient with the puppy energy, gentle and attentive with my older dog, and kept me updated the whole time so I never had to worry. On top of that, she left my home spotless. She went above and beyond in every way, and I came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. I couldn’t ask for anything more. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, Daniela is the one. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
