1. Stephanie H.

“Stephanie is very helpful and attentive! She watched our new puppy all week and made him comfortable. She is flexible and well rounded as a sitter! Highly recommend!”


2. Devin D.

“Devin cat and house sat for us for two weeks while we were out of town. Our cat is a pandemic cat so is accustomed to frequent attention and it seems she definitely got that while we were away - possible more than when we’re home! Devin sent regular photos and updates and Misty always appeared very content. The house was left tidy and Devin helped with extra tasks such as bringing in the mail and putting out the trash for collection.”


3. Easton S.

“Did a great job with our older cat! Sent some nice pictures and left our place spotless. Thanks”


4. Donna M.

“Highly recommend Donna as both a dog and house sitter. My plants did better while I was gone than when I'm at home, the house was perfectly clean, and I got lots of sweet photos during our time away. Donna responds quickly to messages, shows up on time, and was willing to put in the time to get to know our reactive pup. So grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”


5. Jennifer Z.

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our elderly small dog Ralph. I highly, highly recommend Jennifer, and we absolutely will be working with her again in the future. She stayed at our house for three days with Ralph while we were away. She was so thoughtful, detail oriented, and caring - starting with her review of the care instructions and her questions. She also didn’t overwhelm Ralph with a ton of attention right away and let him warm up to her which was so appreciated - he can be shy but he warmed up very quickly! Within an hour of us leaving, Ralph was cuddled up with Jennifer, which is something that normally takes him a long time to do with someone new. We hadn’t ever had someone stay at our house to care for Ralph, but we felt really at ease with Jennifer. She was able to follow all the instructions - for example, making sure Ralph used a ramp on and off the couch instead of jumping, and administering his medications. Jennifer sent loads of updates and photos, which put us at so much ease. Ralph is normally a very picky eater - but with Jennifer he ate all his meals without any hesitation! He got lots of walks and also his favorite thing - quality time on the couch. The house was clean and well cared for when we returned from our trip, and Ralph was such a happy guy! Jennifer is amazing and we so appreciate her caring for Ralph! Thank you Jennifer!!!!”


6. Margarita K.

“Margarita gave our Samoyed puppy the tender, loving care that he needed while we were away from home. She did such a great job we’d love to have her again next time!”


7. Michelle D.

“I have asked Michelle to cat-sit my kitty twice now and she has been great! My cat has separation anxiety and not only is Michelle great at calming her down, she plays with her a lot. She does a great job of making sure the litter is scooped, water is filled, and food bowls full. She has also been very respectful of my home; she is very clean. I will be asking her to cat-sit my Nugget in the future.”


8. Alyssa R.

“Alyssa was a great dog and house sitter. My dog immediately liked her. She gave good updates and responded quickly. My house was spotless when she left.”


9. Tracey D.


“Amazing as always. Tracey stays with our pups at our house for extended stays. She's a fabulous communicator, and wonderful and tending to the house and the pups. Our crew is always so content when we return, free from anxiety and visibly well cared for. She leaves the house exactly as she finds it each time, I never worry when she is there :)”


10. Quynh N.

“I’ll repeatedly use Quynh. My cat trusts her (pics show belly up and paws folded demonstrating trust). Quynh follows specific instructions, communicates effectively, and gives above and beyond service. Unequivocally the best sitter I’ve found in the area!”


11. Mélanie G.

“Melanie is wonderful! She is very communicative, respectful, and responsible. She was very caring to our pets and sent us lots of pictures and updates. We will definitely love to have Melanie petsit for us again in the future.”


12. Jemaima Gwen V.
“While my family and I were on vacation, Jemaima did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. Duties included feeding the cats twice a day, changing their water, cleaning the litter, as well as petting and playing with them.”


13. Pearl L.

“Pearl took great care of our two Aussies and made sure they got a lot of socializing with other dogs as well as lots of activities outdoors to keep them occupied and happy!!”


14. Gabriela C.

“Gabriela is an excellent pet sitter! She did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior fur babies! She is reliable and kept me updated with pics of the kids while I was gone. I look forward to hiring her again when needed!”
