Daria was absolutely wonderful & we will 100% be reaching out again in the future for pet sitting. House was left in perfect condition, and dogs were so happy and content when we got home. Daria is amazing at keeping you updated throughout the whole time you’re gone. We got so many amazing pictures and updates. If you’re looking for a pet sitter and come across Daria, I would totally recommend! THANK YOU !

Lena is excellent. She was very good with our dogs, understanding their routines, and making it all a very comfortable experience for both us and our dogs. She asked all the right questions, gave us nice daily synopses and photos, and kept everything very tidy. Lena is very conscientious and caring and we hope she is available for our next trip.

Nicole was an amazing dog sitter, and I would use her again in a heartbeat. My dachshund is an older guy, and he is both deaf and struggling with dementia, which means that he requires a lot of care and help. Nicole was incredibly accommodating with regard to his needs - organizing her household to make it safe for him, watching him closely when he was around other dogs, etc. Nicole is also very gracious. For example, I found out upon returning from a two week trip that my dog had been waking her up really early. Rather than complaining about that - which would have been totally justified! - she figured out a way to deal with his early morning needs. Communication was wonderful, I received updates and pictures multiple times a day, and when I picked my pooch up, he seemed happy and well adjusted. Thank you so much Nicole!!

Anthony was great with our special girl while we were visiting family over the holidays. He stayed at our home and was very flexible and extremely accommodating for our baby. He sent lots of photos and updates and even took her to the pet store a few times to pick out treats and get a much needed rain coat. She even tried to go home with him when he was leaving when we got home. 😂 I can’t recommend Anthony enough. We already have requested a few re-bookings.

About: I’ve spent three years caring for dogs through walking and sitting, providing safe, loving, reliable support tailored to each pup’s personality, routine, and comfort needs. With lots of free time in my daily routine, I’m able to focus fully on each dog I care for, providing steady attention, enrichment, and a peaceful, supervised environment. I provide a safe, reliable home where dogs can relax and feel supported. With frequent potty breaks, daily walks, and attentive supervision, your pup stays comfortable, happy, and well‑monitored.

Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.

About: With a deep-rooted passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I’ve built up my animal experience around understanding and caring for dogs at every level. From running a professional dog kennel to grooming and training, my work is grounded in both structure and empathy. Managing a kennel taught me how to care for dogs in a dynamic, fast-paced environment—balancing health, behavior, and individual needs across a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Through grooming, I developed a keen eye for detail and a calm, patient approach that helps dogs & cats feel safe and cared for. My training background spans both obedience and agility, allowing me to work with dogs not just on discipline, but on confidence, communication, and performance. Whether it’s helping a family dog become well-mannered at home or guiding a high-energy dog through agility courses, I focus on building trust and bringing out each dog’s full potential. This is integrated into my day to day with my own three dogs and will be with the pets I care for. At the core of everything I do is a simple belief: every dog deserves to be understood, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of openings to walk or house sit with your dogs! Unfortunately I am not able to board at this time as I am working with an animal reactive rescue dog. I care for pets with a structured, attentive approach that prioritizes their routine, comfort, and safety. It would typically cater to your current routine you have going for your pet along with some training if needed.

Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.

About: I had my own very cherished Mini Pinscher Leah that passed away a few years ago. Since then, I’ve really missed the companionship of pets but am not yet ready for a commitment after that grief. I cat sit for my sister regularly, and am looking to be of help to any families/pet owners in my local community whose pets I can treat with care and respect. I am available to walk any dogs after work ends at 6 PM and am happy to have any pets board with me on the weekends! I have a fenced yard and no pets or babies in my home, just myself and two adult roommates. I’m ready to customize my house to be safe and suited for any pet that will be boarding here, and can walk dogs in my neighborhood at any time.

We used Erica for house/pet sitting services over the course of 5 nights/6 days. She stayed with our 3 dogs on and off throughout the day, feed them, walked them and also stayed at night. Erica was awesome from start to finish. She was super flexible, came for an initial meet and greet and also came back a second time to visit and go over details, get keys, etc. She provided us with updates and pictures as requested and always replied quickly. We will definitely be using Erica again!

It’s not easy to find a dog sitter who are experienced with petite senior dogs. Especially with dementia. Liz understands Meow Meow so well and took great care of her. This is the first time that I don’t need to worry about Meow Meow when I travel ever since she has dementia. Thank you Liz. I am so glad we found you.

Exceptional care! MJ took excellent care of our Bernedoodle puppy, she sent us updates and pictures throughout and our pup, Elvie, truly loved her time with MJ. Elvie has an abundance of energy and MJ kept her active and stimulated, she also brought over a snuffle mat which was such a hit we went out and bought one right away. Would 100% recommend MJ for your dogwalking or dogsitting needs.

Daria did an amazing job caring for my dog, especially under some really difficult circumstances. My dog got sick during the stay, and Daria went above and beyond, cleaning her up, giving her medication, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m really grateful for how attentive and compassionate she was, and I would absolutely trust her again.

Alisha did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were overseas for two weeks. This was our first time hiring a house sitter, and were a bit anxious about leaving our pups (a 9 month old and a 16 year old) with a new person, but Alisha's friendliness and professionalism made us feel comfortable right away. Everything went smoothly, we received regular updates and responses to our communications. When we came home the house was sparkling and the pups were happy! We will definitely be repeat customers!

And he took such good care of them and sent us the best pics (professional photography levels) we felt at so much ease knowing Leo is taking care of them. We trusted Leo completely thanks to his amazing communication and care. We most definitely will be using Leo again for caring for our babies and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for utmost care and love for your pets. Thank you so much Leo. You rock !!

We are so happy to have connected with Jamie who provided house-sitting care for our daughter’s husky-malamute mix, Kazami. Jaime was caring and attentive to Kazami, who at 2.5 years old is energetic and loves the attention! Jamie walked, fed, and played with her, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our family can wholeheartedly recommend Jaime!

I can't thank him enough for the amazing care he gave to my dogs, Lana and Happy. From the very beginning, he treated them like his own. He even gave them a new ball, took them to the lake for walks and playtime, and kept me constantly updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of all the love and attention, he made sure they were always safe and happy. It's clear he truly loves what he does, and that makes all the difference.
