“I am super happy with my experience with Nikolai and Jessica. They were available last minute when my other sitter cancelled on me. I was at first apprehensive with leaving Willow someplace with multiple other dogs being cared for since the last experience left Willow traumatized and was negative. This was the total opposite! It’s clear that they both care for all the dogs in their care and give them all the attention and love needed. I never had to ask for updates, they were proactive with photos/videos. It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about my dog. Willow came back happy and well cared for. It’s nice to finally have a reliable sitter in my area. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future.”


“Tiffany & Laura took wonderful care of Moose! They were super communicative — we appreciated the regular photos and daily text updates which included lots of details that made us feel confident that he was in great hands. Moose is excited for future visits!”

“Mary was exceptional with our pup Enzo! She was very communicative with us through out the day with updates and photos which comforted me knowing he was doing great. Mary did not only watch and feed Enzo, but took him to the dog park (his favorite place), and along to run errands with her. I would 100% recommend Mary to take care of your fur baby!”


“Maia was wonderful with Mishka. I can tell she is very thorough and took great care of him. She also sent me updates and lots of pics everyday without me asking for them first. I know Mishka was in good hands with her and will def use her again. She’s also very flexible with drop off and pick up and has great communication.”

“Our second time with Leonard for an extended stay while we were out of town! Leonard is a great communicator and sent us photos to keep us updated (and at ease). I always feel like our little buddy is in great hands with Leonard.”

“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”


“Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️”

“She was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated and sent me tons of photos and videos. This was my first time using this app and I couldn’t have pick anyone better! Looking forward to book again!”

“Josephine is truly a gem! From the moment we connected, her warmth and kindness stood out. She has such beautiful energy, and I could immediately tell how much she genuinely loves animals. She took incredible care of my dog, Polo, treating him like he was her own. He got along wonderfully with her sweet pup, Bruce, and I received the most thoughtful and detailed updates that gave me such peace of mind. Polo has been struggling with allergies since our move to California, and Josephine went above and beyond—she even wrapped his paw to help prevent further irritation. That level of care and attention meant the world to me. When I picked Polo up, he was happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. I’m so grateful to have found Josephine and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Kristen is wonderful! She was a life saver agreeing to care for our pup Frances on short notice and set up a last minute meet and greet beforehand. Seeing her own two happy and adorable dogs, I totally trusted her with Frances, and she did not disappoint! She was very communicative throughout the weekend, sending updates each morning and evening with photos, which was so reassuring. Thank you so much, Kristen!!!”

“Didem is very communicative and great with her updates. Our pup loves Didem and her family and was super excited to see Didem when I dropped him off. I’m so grateful to have such a caring sitter watch out dog when we’re away.”

“Sherry was great! I rarely have to board Daffy and finding someone outside of my town was daunting. We communicated frequently and she sent pictures which were very reassuring. I will certainly book with her again! A big "Thank-You!" to Sherry!”

“Ben and his family are absolutely wonderful. They made our senior pittie feel right at home for his 4 night stay. We will definitely have Elliott stay with them again!”
“Liza turned out to be exactly the right person to board and walk my 70 lb. golden retriever. She communicated with me, was dependable and my dog liked her a lot. Liza took my dog to various nearby parks and hiking trails. Highly recommended”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!

Shruti and Robyn cared for Dakota while we were away for a 12 day trip. It is very reassuring to leave Dakota with Shruti and Robyn - they care for her as if she is their own. Dakota had developed a limp before we left and they paid close attention to that while making sure she got her walks in. They communicated well with me. We already have another stay booked with Shruti and Robyn.

Chen was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! He was incredibly kind and loving to them and he sent frequent updates. He also sent some really amazing photos and videos throughout their stay with him. We felt very in the loop and we were confident they were being well cared for the whole time! Wyatt, the older of our two chihuahua mixes, is a senior and he takes daily meds. Chen was very accommodating and thoughtful about sending updates particularly about Wyatt! We will definitely book with Chen again.

Sherry was WONDERFUL!! She was very professional, communicative (sent us plenty of pics and videos of our cutie) and most importantly, she was attentive and sweet towards our baby so we knew our Eevee was in excellent hands. We would be happy to have Sherry watch her again.

Big thanks to Nate for watch our Bella. She is a very anxious, aging, but super sweet dog. Nate handled her with so much care. He even went as far as making her a homemade meal to help with her anxiety. This level of care is very much appreciated. We will definitely use him again!

Sharon took great care of my pup Mochi! She sent daily updates with pictures, and took him on a lot of fun outings. She spent a lot of time with me at drop off to carefully go over any of Mochi’s quirks, to make sure she could take good care of him. I would highly recommend Sharon!
Ben, Pria, and their kids are such wonderful dog sitters. By far the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we drop our dog off, to when we pick him up we know he’s in excellent care. Sometimes I feel they spoil our dog more than we do. Ben and Pria were also very flexible and understanding when my trip plans changed, and I had to pick up our dog early. I could not recommend them enough. If you want a loving family, who will take great care of your dog and leave you without worry, Ben, Pria, and their family should be your choice.

Hong was an excellent sitter. She was very communicative and gave me regular updates and adorable videos of our 8 month old puppy. She took his routine and training needs seriously and put a lot of effort and care into developing good habits. I would recommend her and her husband to anyone looking for a sitter who treats pets as if they were their own!

I was in need for a sitter for my sweet Kiko for a week while I got hitched in Hawaii. Danielle and Joel took such great care of Kiko, she practically cried a bit when we took her home as if she didn’t want to leave. She got along with their dogs well and enjoyed their home and backyard. They also made the time to share photos with us everyday. I am happy we found Danielle and Joel. We will definitely use them again in the future!
