1. Katherine W.

“We’re so lucky to have Katherine as our pet-sitter! Our cat Dooney loves her. We were gone for 2 weeks and had no worries about Dooney, knowing he was well-cared for. The pictures she took of him were very reassuring and better than many of the pics I took of my vacation!”


2. Jason R.

“Absolutely phenomenal! We booked Jason to watch our two dogs (one of whom is a giant breed) and three cats, and he far exceeded all our expectations. From the start, his communication was outstanding—keeping us constantly updated with messages and photos that put our minds at ease. Jason went above and beyond, not only in caring meticulously for our pets but also in looking after our home. What truly impressed us was Jason's ability to handle our giant breed dog with such ease, managing his size and temperament effortlessly. On top of that, our usually skittish cat, who never warms up to anyone, found comfort in Jason—a testament to his natural ability to connect with animals and create a calm, safe environment for them. Knowing that all our fur babies were happy, loved, and well-cared for made our time away so much more enjoyable. We can’t wait to rebook Jason in the future. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and expertly manage even giant breed dogs, look no further than Jason!”

“Charlotte was a great sitter! She was very communicative and punctual, she also stayed later when I got stuck in traffic on the way home! Highly recommend!”


4. Chantal H.

“Took amazing care of both of my dogs, and the house while she was staying overnight with them. Both dogs loved her and I would definitely use her again!”


5. Kerynne T.

“Kerynne watched our 5 year old doodle Cooper for the long weekend and was so so wonderful with him!! We got so many photo and video updates and it was such a relief to not have to worry while away. Couldn't have asked for a better housesitter and coopersitter! Highly, highly recommend!”


6. Aaron B.

“Aaron takes great care of our pup and our house. This visit, Aaron even handled additional medication and adjusted care for Gilmore due to an injury, and sent us extra photos and updates knowing we’d be worried about leaving him while injured, but he was in great hands.”


7. Lauren B.
“Lauren is amazing with pets, she loves them and they instantly love her. Whether it is a foster dog she is homing, a friend’s dog, or one she meets at the dog park, she treats each dog as her own – Always looking out for them and making sure they are well cared for. She makes sure all animals in her care get plenty of attention – whether its cuddles on the couch or games of fetch. She is also very patient with dogs and understands each dog has his or her own unique needs. She was absolutely incredible with her own late dog and managed everything from training when he was a pup to health concerns in his adulthood with a sense of calm and mindfulness. She made dog parenting look easy when we all know it is not! My own dog is always full of excitement whenever she gets to spend time with Lauren, instantly jumping into her arms, ready for a day of fun.”


8. Yoo Jee K.

“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”


9. Penny C.


“Penny did a great house and dog sitting job for us and we are going to rehire her. She is highly personable and clearly loves our dog. Five stars.”


10. Andrea M.

“Andrea was amazing, I had a last minute addition to the sitting of my boyfriends new puppy and she cared for both dogs perfectly! She sent great updates even when I was not able to reply due to work and kept me posted on all things going on in and around the house which helped give me peace of mind. Selecting a new sitter is sometimes a big nerve wracking and I couldn’t have asked for a better one! I’ll definitely be continuing to use her in the future :)”


11. Vincent T.

“Vincent was a tremendous walker, house-sitter, and puppy/cat whisperer. We have a challenging duo and he was great with our “kids” - detailed oriented and very communicative. Best Rover in LA.”


12. Laura D.
“Laura is a gem! She went above and beyond to care for my dogs and my cat. I received warm updates and adorable photos, which truly reassured me that my babies were in loving, capable hands. She has a genuine affection for animals. She is trustworthy, caring, reliable and professional. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter, house sitter and dog walker. Highly recommended!”


13. Jojo E.

“Jojo is fantastic! We received great updates with pics and videos of our pets every day and the house was absolutely pristine when we returned. We had complete peace of mind on our vacation knowing Jojo was here taking care of everything!”


14. Rosalinda G.

“Once again Rosalinda was an excellent sitter during our trip. She is very thoughtful, transparent, and kind. Highly recommended and our dog is always happy when she's with her. Thanks again!”


15. Jessica N.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care our two dogs received from Jessica. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and has a natural ability to bond with them. One of our dogs is a puppy, and Jessica was especially wonderful with her, providing plenty of attention, playtime, and patience as she continues to learn and grow. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular photos and videos, so we always felt reassured that they were in great hands. Both dogs seemed happy, healthy, and well-cared for, with lots of love and fun walks in between. It’s such a relief to know that our pups were treated like family while we were gone. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”


16. Victoria E.

“We needed someone to watch our dog Farrah for the day. She’s had some separation anxiety issues that we’ve been dealing with and although we’ve made some progress, we didn’t want to leave her alone for the 9 hours that we would be out of the house. Victoria stopped by for a meet and greet, we gave her all information and she asked questions and took notes. We told her she didn’t have to spend the whole time in the house and if she needed to get out for a couple of hours that was fine. She said she would stay the whole time which immediately made us feel comfortable. During the day we received updates with pictures and videos which we loved. We were able to enjoy the day knowing that Farrah was in great hands. We appreciated Victoria’s care for Farrah and our home, we’ll definitely reach out again.”


17. John T.

“John was fabulous! I had just moved to New York and he helped me tremendously with my big dog. He was even nice enough to come by beforehand and meet me and my dog. He’s got great, positive energy, and I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!”


18. Abigail W.

“Wolfie absolutely LOVED his time spent wirh Abigail and her sweet Pomsky, Aleu ❤️ The two pups hit it off right away and we didn’t spend one second worrying about Wolfie in Abigail’s care. Will definitely book again for future trips!!”


19. Kaiden R.
“Kaiden not only takes fantastic care of her three cats, hamster, rabbit, and snake, but has also taken great care of my dog. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve met, and I would trust her to take care of my dog any other time. She’s good with lots of kinds of pets!”


20. Jaime G.
“Jaime has been an exceptional caregiver for my two fur-babies. She would come over twice a day to feed and walk my dogs, but she didn't stop there. She would often spend time playing with them to distract them from missing us, something other caretakers did not do. Jaime is a reliable and responsible pet caregiver who always went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt loved and secure. It was a relief to know that not only my pets, but my home, would be well taken care of. I wish she lived closer. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
