1. Michael E.

“Michael always works with our schedule and is so good about getting Nigel a better work out. Corgis can get lazy. Nigel knows he can't "cute" his way out exercise.”


2. Kaytlyn B.
“Five stars to you Katie for taking great care of my dog Goosie—she can be a bit picky, but you kept her fed and happy. You handled her little quirks, with patience. I’d happily have you pet-sit again—thanks for doing a solid job!”


3. Sabrina F.
“Sabrina watched over my dog and she was amazing! I was going out of town for a long weekend and I was anxious leaving my baby but knowing Sabrina has experience in the veterinary field made me feel at ease in case of any emergency. I’ve left my dog at boarding facilities before and I can tell a difference in her demeanor after having Sabrina watch over her. She was happy at pick up and I can tell she enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Sabrina and will definitely be using her for any up coming trips I have in the future!”


4. Jocelyn L.


“Jocelyn is reliable, communicative, and caring sitter! My dog always loves seeing her and it’s nice to know that she’s in good hands with Jocelyn”


5. Faye A.

“Faye was simply amazing to work with . She loved on our dogs as if they were her own and she took great care of them while we were on a family vacation. Will be booking with her every vacation going forward!”


6. Giselle V.
“Giselle has helped care for our dog Bear for over 7 years. He is treated like a part of her family. She is very loving and caring with him as well as trustworthy. I highly recommend her. Tony Soriano”


7. Jessica V.

“So, Jessica was amazing. Simply put, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. My two cats took to her immediately upon the first meet and greet, and each day she visited (once per day over a five day period) the pictures showed exactly how much fun they were having playing with Jessica and enjoying her presence. I appreciated her ready communication and willingness to help. She was worth each star.”


8. Stephanie F.

“Stephanie has been our pet sitter close to a year now. She is reliable and takes care of my dog as her own. She goes over and beyond when it comes to taking care of your loved ones. I highly recommend Stephanie.”


9. Rachael R.

“Great to have Rachael back multiple times to take care of our dogs. She's does great with our pitties, including our slightly immobile senior dog.”


10. Athena B.

“Athena was great. She took care of our two cats while we were away. She did drop in visits, and gave one of the cats his inhaler. She was friendly and professional, and even our shy cat likes her. Thank you!”


11. Nicole C.
“Nicole has helped me watch my dog Sashimi for long term and short term stays. When she watches him in my home she is very responsive and communicative with their day to day routines. This gives me the reassurance I need when I’m away. She goes above and beyond by communicating how their day went, what they have planned, and always reaches out with questions if needed. There has been numerous times where she has been flexible with my needs when it comes to dates and times to watch Sashimi. I highly recommend her as your dog sitter/walker.”




12. Courtney I.


“Courtney did an amazing job looking after our cat during the holidays. Felipe can be skittish with strangers, but Courtney took the time to meet him beforehand, and made sure he got plenty of interaction time each day. Usually it takes Felipe a few days to readjust after we go out of town. This time it was like we never left at all!”


13. Jaren M.
“I’ve seen firsthand how caring and attentive Jaren is with animals. Jaren is incredibly responsible, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with pets. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and care, Jaren always goes above and beyond. Any pet would be lucky to have Jaren looking after them!”




14. Kathy A.

“Kathy was really wonderful with our cats and made the most of her time with them every day while we were away. Would not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”


15. Arbella T.
“We had to go on an emergency family trip and we hired Arbella on a short notice to look after our dog “Snow”. Arbella was very kind and responsible . We Face timed twice and she immediately responded by putting Snow on. When we came back to pick up Snow, he was all over Arbella and dancing around her :) We will definitely use her service again. Tom N.”


16. Amy B.
“Amy is an amazing dog lover, lavishing her doggy charges with attention and affection! She has a decade plus of experience and is honest and trustworthy!”


17. Oscar S.
“Oscar has taken care of our pet poodle several times over the years. Of all the dog sitters we have had, we noticed the biggest positive improvement with dog training after time with Oscar. It’s pretty amazing when you get your dog back in better shape than when you left the house. That’s the kind of intentional positive effort you can expect from Oscar. We feel so lucky to have had him when we did!”


18. Nicole F.

“Nicole dropped by twice a day to take care of our two cats while away over the holidays. She was great to meet and talk to and with communication. She was great with the kitties feeding and playing with them every visit. They had a great time. She took care of everything we asked exceptionally well. Can’t thank Nicole enough for taking such good care of them while we were gone!”


19. Desirea L.

“So grateful for Desirea’s help taking care of Pepper today! Very responsive, punctual, and shared pics. I felt confident my Pepper was being well cared for. I will definitely request Desirea’s help again.”


20. Liliana S.
“I highly recommend Liliana as a pet caregiver! She is responsible, loving, and attentive to the needs of all animals in her care. My pets immediately warmed up to her, and I was impressed with her professionalism and dedication. Liliana goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy and well-cared for. She is truly a wonderful caregiver!”
