2. Kyle J.
“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”
3. Oli L.
“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”
4. Carly S.
“carly did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups and my older kitty. my pups are high energy and high velcro so they need to walk about 6 miles a day and a lot of cuddle time, she was more than happy to take care of their needs. carly sent a lot of pictures which i really appreciate and was on time for all of the check-ins we discussed. i’m a helicopter mom so i always like more messages and updates but she did a great job, i look forward to booking with carly again!”
5. Keaton C.
“Keaton always takes wonderful care of our "kids" and our home. Even our shy kitty Diana felt comfortable with him, and our dog with separation anxiety always feels better having him around. Thanks so much, Keaton!”
6. Lynne F.
“Lynne was a great house sitter and did an excellent job taking care of our fur baby. She shared photos every day and even left a sweet message to welcome us home. It was comforting knowing our geriatric lab had company, especially in the evening, while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Lynne and look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
7. Egon P.
“Egon was amazing with our pooches—and took wonderful care of our home. We appreciated the frequent and thoughtful communication. We’d book Egon again!”
8. Brian W.
“Brian was great as a sitter for my pups and my home! I have two pups - one who can struggle with reactivity and another who can be stubborn in her houndy ways - and they were very comfortable with him from their first meeting on! They have never had anyone care for them in the house overnight that they did not already know, so I was nervous, but he did well assessing and responding to their vibes and needs and was excellent in his communication with me. I highly recommend Brian for your dog-walking or house-sitting needs!”
9. Cindy S.
“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”
10. Robin L.
“Robin’s reviews speak for themselves. She took care of our pup and home for 6 days. We got daily pictures and updates, and came home to a happy girl and spotless apartment. We would happily book with Robin again! :)”
11. Kayla E.
“Kayla took excellent care of my dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and the house was super clean when we came home. Would definitely book with her again!”
12. David M.
“David saved a family weekend getaway when issues with a previous booking caused us to cancel them, but David answered our call at the last minute and saved the day. David was kind and polite and very easy going. Our dogs and cats seemed well taken care of and we enjoyed our weekend away knowing they were in good hands. No issues with David at all, would certainly book again.”
13. Lindsay C.
“Lindsay was awesome! I had recently moved and had to leave the cats alone for the first time since the move. She went above and beyond taking care of them and keeping me updated. Thank you!”
14. Catherine C.
“Cat was and is WONDERFUL. She stayed with our dog for 12 days, the longest vacation we have ever taken, and we were admittedly nervous about leaving him for that long. She was thoughtful and communicative leading up to and during her stay, left the house very neat and clean and put us totally at ease. I cannot possibly put into this little box how much we appreciate Cat—other than to say I cannot imagine engaging anyone else in care of my beloved pet. I will miss our text message check-ins and recommend her entirely.”
15. Beth F.
“Beth was an amazing person and super sweet, caring and attentive to George. He absolutely loved her and Beth always gave us an update daily with pictures. I will definitely book again!”
16. Emma R.
“Emma is super nice and chill, and she did a great job watching my cattle dog who can be anxious sometimes. She was very respectful of the apartment as well. Already rebooked with her!”
17. Jordan C.
“I’ve used Jordan to pet sit my dog and cat multiple times now and know they are always in good hands. My dog has separation anxiety when I leave him, which can make taking care of him more challenging, but Jordan is always patient with his quirks and makes sure he is well taken care of. I will continue to use her for future needs!”
18. Amber C.
“Third times a charm! Amber is our go to first choice for watching our pup and house when we go out of town. Now that her and my pup Cleo are friends, Cleo gets so excited to see Amber come through the door. As always she took great care of our pup, sent tons of pictures, washed sheets, and left the house very clean! We will continue to request her time & again 😎”
19. Anastasija & William M.
“Anastasija has been an amazing help in caring for my dog and cat. She came to my home twice a day for a week to walk my dog and check on my cat. Her reliability and loving care made a huge difference for both of my pets. She provided great attention and made sure they were comfortable and well-cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
20. Daniel C.
“Daniel is great, very communicative, responsive & willing to handle circumstances that pop up with our high-maintenance hounds. He has dog/cat/house set for us several times now & I would highly recommend!”
