12. Channing D.

“Channing cared for my dog for 11 days. She not only fed, walked and spent time with him, but also took him to a local park to play, and slept overnight at my apt as her schedule allowed. I knew he was in great hands, and she even took in my mail. Thank-you & woof woof Channing!”




13. Alex V.

“Not enough good words for Alex’s pet sitting skills. I have a somewhat high maintenance dog who is diabetic and a bit of a grumpy old man and Alex not only took it in stride, but went above and beyond to make sure he was a happy dog while I was gone. It was a massive relief to know Scraps was in good hands! Lots of great photo and video updates too! 100% recommend Alex if you’re looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.”


14. Gabby M.

“We were delighted with the care Gabby provided for our 12year old dog and the care she took of our home. Responsive, communicative and reliable. Responded to our messages promptly and sent daily updates as we had requested. Will call on her again if needed.”


15. Mimi R.

“Mimi has house/dog sat for us twice. Each visit has worked out great. She is very responsive when we check in to see how everyone is doing while we are away. One or both of our dogs are usually on some kind of medication and Mimi is happy to help with that as well. We've come back to two happy and healthy dogs every time. Mimi is sweet and kind. It is always a pleasure to have her stay in our home and care for our pups.”


16. Olena L.

“Olena returned a second time to look after our cat while we were away. We feel very fortunate to have found Olena, she takes wonderful care of her, paying great attention to her needs.”




17. Juna W.

“Juna does a wonderful job with the dogs, they love to have her come visit. They especially like that they get to run every morning, which is something they don't do with me and my old knees. I am grateful for the time that she spends with them, the brats! ”


18. Christina G.

“You will not find a better sitter than Christina. I have had probably 7 dog sitters over the past 5 years and she is hands down the best one. I always get so nervous leaving my dogs, but I hope we never lose Christina...I felt comfortable the entire time. She is incredibly friendly and personable, trustworthy, responsive, and went above and beyond in caring for our home and the dogs. She also helped us without a second thought when our travel plans changed. Our home was emmaculate when we returned and the dogs were actually waiting in her guest room when we got back 😂 I take this to mean they loved her. One of my dogs is very timid and she immediately attached to Christina and other dog took no time to start playing with her. Both signs that they loved her. They don't do that with other sitters. All to say, I can't recommend her enough. She is amazing and we are lucky to have met her! ❤️”




19. Sandi D.


“I was pretty nervous about leaving my very old dog to go on vacation, but he and my cat were in excellent hands with Sandi. She communicated with me throughout my trip and took great care of both of them. I was able to relax on vacation because it was clear that Sandi had everything under control. I felt confident that Sandi would have been able to handle any emergency that might have come up. Highly recommended.”


20. Linda K.

“Linda is the best!! I recently got a kitten and had a trip already planned. Linda was able to accommodate me and was so open and willing to take on the care of the cats/challenge of managing a new kitten. She took great care of my resident cat and new kitten for the weekend. She was very communicative and you can tell she really loves the animals she’s with. 10/10!”
