Laura, Carolina & Enrique were great! I needed a sitter last minute and reached out to them. Luckily they were available. They responded fast, took good care of my pups and they had such a great time they were super tired after I picked them up. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!

Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.

Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)

Erika was absolutely amazing to board my diabetic senior cat with. He loved her and her family so much, and warmed up to them even though he prefers his alone time, it was like a mini vacation for him! I 100% will be contacting Erika again for future stays, she was extremely patient, caring, understanding and on top of everything you would hope for in a pet sitter. Thank you so much again for taking such good care of my boy!

There aren’t enough words to state my gratitude to Valeria for watching my Luna Bear. She is the perfect sitter. I had a last min work trip and she came through for me. She was so attentive to Luna and sent pics, videos, did FaceTime and my Luna looked like she didn’t want to come home lol. She is my go to if I ever have to travel or need Luna to be watched. I will be booking with her again very soon. So grateful to have found her ☺️

About: I’ve been raised around dogs since I was an infant & they were puppies. Growing up, I was able to spend time & care for different types of dogs. I believe that with consistency, patience, and rewards (treats/toys), I would be able to train a puppy to do tricks & properly go to the potty! ☺️ I am a part-time healthcare worker that works 8 hours out of 3 days of the week, so with that being said, I would love to look after your pet on my days off! Your rules/requirements are mine as well. I’m not sure if anyone in my building is allergic to cats or dogs, but we could make some accommodations. If you would prefer care to be provided within your home, let’s discuss further on how you would like for me to look after your pet, and how to ensure that we are all comfortable and safe.

The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have two large dogs of my own not where I currently live but at my home away from college, so I’m very comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, bathing, and keeping pets on their routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away because I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. As a college student-athlete, I’m active, responsible, and able to handle energetic dogs while making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work part-time and go into the office about 3 days a week for around 5 hours at a time. The rest of the week I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for, walk, play with, and give attention to your pets throughout the day. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for every pet I watch. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and understand the importance of routines, exercise, and attention. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of playtime, and a clean, stress free environment. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida

Esmeralda was amazing with my dog max. She made him apart of her family for the week he was with them. She sent me text with videos and pictures. There wasn’t one moment I felt unsure about her watching max. She kept me informed and reassured me that max was in safe hands. We would love to have her watch max again in the future.

Morgan was great, Milo had initially a bit of a hard time adapting to new spaces but she was very very good at making him feel safe and at communicating with me throughout the time I was away. I just took him home and he is very relaxed and playful. I am very satisfied and will definitely book her again!

Whenever Natalia watches Maya, I always feel completely at ease knowing Maya is in the best hands. Natalia is incredibly responsible and attentive, and her two dogs get along wonderfully with Maya—which is great since Maya is only 7 pounds! Despite her small size, I never worried for a second. Natalia is also wonderfully communicative in the best way possible. She sends frequent updates and lots of adorable photos, which always put my mind at ease and shows just how happy and well-cared-for Maya is while I’m away. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs. Knowing that Maya is not only safe but actually enjoying herself makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found Natalia and will absolutely continue to trust her with Maya in the future!
