“Darya was awesome with our old man Louie; he’s picky with food, needs help drinking water and sometimes has to go out in the middle of the night and she had no problems! Very kind and respectful of our space, already booked for anything upcoming trip! Thank you so much!”
2. Aleksandra S.
“Aleksandra was great with our two dogs. We have one that is really nervous, and she demonstrated calmness and patience with him even though he was barking at her for 15 minutes. I love how she agreed to do a meet and greet first. She provided us with plenty of updates and pictures, and she was very respectful of our home, even cleaning up after one the dogs had an accident. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Thanh-Mai was great with our separation anxiety boy. He immediately took to her even though he’s typically shy. She was super enthusiastic & well knowledged about dogs. We felt safe that our dog was in great hands. She provided updates and reassured that he was happy and comfortable. I’d definitely recommended having her care for your pets :)”
7. Mara A.
“Cannot say better things about Mara. She stayed at home and was so sweet to my cat Jagger and dog Han. Maintaining me updated while I was away with photos. When I arrived back home they were so relaxed they didn’t even get up from the couch to greet me 😂. Will definitely rebook with Mara, she is easy to speak to and wholeheartedly a caring person. Thank you Mara!”
8. Jeannine B.
“Jeannine is great! We are crazy when it comes to our dogs, so we are very picky about our doggy sitters. Jeannine sent texts and picture updates every day we were away, which totally put our minds at ease. We came home to two very happy girls after our trips were over. They were also super excited to see Jeannine when she stopped by to drop off our keys -- definitely a good sign that she took excellent care of them! :)”

13. Aaron A.
“Aaron is amazing and my life saver! He stayed with my dogs in my apartment while I went away for a long weekend. He sent me pictures and updates the entire time and respond to all of my messages quickly. He left my apartment clean with sheets, towels, and dishes washed and ready for me. When my flight got changed and I wasn’t able to make it home when I planned, he quickly responded that he would stay another night and care for them until I got home. He’s dependable and trustworthy and I don’t know what I would do without him!”
14. Chloe L.
“I’ve known Chloe over 15 years, and she has been consistently responsible and trustworthy. She is a smart, loving, and resourceful person. She is also active, which is great for more high energy pets. We went to a dog park together recently, and she was great at taking care of a shy dog while being mindful of other dogs. I would trust her with my dog any day!”
15. Izayah C.

17. Ashley H.
“Lovely sitter! Would ask her to watch my dog any time. My dog is a deaf senior with diet restrictions and she handled it so well! Would recommend her any day”
18. Hannah S.
“Hannah is wonderful! She watched our dog Leo at our place over a long weekend and he had a great time! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
19. Sania D.
“Sania is a great friend, considerate caretaker, and a thoughtful and observant person. She's watched our pets (various dog breeds, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and even stray pets whom we've had to temporarily take in) countless times through the years growing up (we were neighbors for most of our lives) and we always knew we could trust her with just about anything. She always puts in the "extra effort" whenever she is tasked with doing something important, delegated a job, or takes up the responsibility for something that we need. I trust Sania with my life! She is a trustworthy and conscious person who I know I can go to reliably for anything.”
20. Christie J.
“Christie was a lifesaver for me! I had to extend a trip I was on and needed someone last minute to watch my pup. She was able to take on the job and made me feel comfortable having her watch my Lu. At one point, Lu was pacing at night from separation anxiety from me and Christie made sure to comfort her and even sleep on the couch with her! Highly recommend Christie and I will most definitely be using her again. Thank you Christie!”
