Loren was simply amazing! So friendly and competent and took our doggie on two walks a day. And I'm not talking about just walks around the neighborhood (although I would have been fine with that) but she took her on adventures! Waterdog, Coyote Point, Fort Funston...our dog was so spoiled! She earned our doggie's trust, and ours too! She left us the sweetest card and provided pics and communication throughout her stay. Would 100% recommend Loren, and hope to have her back for some of our next dog/house-sitting needs.

Caroline is wonderful! We have used her dog sitting services twice now and were very happy with the level of care she provided for our dog. Very communicative and stayed the entire time! We will definitely be booking with Caroline in the future!

Ellen was great!! We came back home to a very happy Peaky and a spotless apartment (dishes and linen all cleaned too!). Peaky can sometimes be a shy cat but he became friends with Ellen very quickly. We also appreciated the regular communication/updates and pics. Would love to have her sit Peaky again!

Maggie had a great time with Casey! Our dog can be difficult with other dogs but Casey assured us he had experience training his own dogs and dog sitting many others. We enjoyed our time off knowing she was in good hands.

Sydney went above and beyond expectations. She listened to all my instructions and followed up with thoughtful questions, and it's clear how much she cares for dogs. I appreciated all the detailed updates and pictures to show how much my dog enjoyed her care. Not only that, but she took great care of my home, and took extra steps to make sure it was clean and neat upon my return. My dog loved spending the weekend with her, and I'll be sure to keep her in mind for future opportunities.

Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix

Madison has been a lifesaver when it comes to caring for my dogs, especially my anxious Lhasa Apso, Snow. As a nursing student, her compassion and understanding truly shine through. She has a remarkable ability to calm Snow and make her feel safe, which has made a world of difference. Madison is always reliable and attentive, and I couldn’t be happier knowing my pets are in her capable hands!

Lisa was exceptional with our dog and as a house sitter generally. We have a miniature pincher who is a total sweetheart once you get to know him, but our dog has pretty significant fear aggression problems (he is a rescue and we are working on it). We were especially nervous to leave our furry friend alone with a stranger and were concerned about how he would be handled. Lisa took the time to ask the right questions and made multiple visits to our home ahead of time to get to know our dog and have him become comfortable and trust her; She walked him and even had a joint session with our dog trainer in order to understand our doggy’s quirks and needs. And it worked! He absolutely ADORES her. It felt very reassuring to have Lisa pay such personal attention to Oliver’s unique needs and anxieties. On top of that, she cooked for him too! (Following doggy diet restrictions of course) Lisa was very communicative while we were away, updating us regularly on the household and was great with our other animals too. (We have 2 rats and a red eared slider turtle) She made sure they were all fed and well taken care of. Additionally, she gave them all special meals for Christmas. The house was in great condition when we returned home and all of our animals seemed happy and content. We are incredibly appreciative of the clear effort and care she provided for our family, and we have every intention of booking her again. We really can’t recommend Lisa enough!

Jeff was a wonderful sitter keeping our house clean, organized and our two big pups happy. Took them on multiple walks throughout the day, gave them lots of attention and even gave them a bath. I would highly recommend using Jeff for all your pet sitting needs.

Caroline was great with our senior dachshund. She stayed with him for a weekend at our place and kept us updated on how he was doing. She was kind, thoughtful, and responsible. We will hire her again the next time we go out of town!
