Matthew was incredible with our pup, Lupe! We were a bit nervous to leave her with someone that wasn't already a close friend, but Lupe took to Matthew instantly. He sent us regular updates so that we could see how well he was caring for her, and when we returned, it was evident that he had kept up with her training without our asking. We would not hesitate to book Matthew again, and neither should you!

Abby was very accommodating and caring watching our high energy puppy for several days. Most importantly, we came home to a happy dog. Abby handled an unexpected medical issue promptly and professionally and we felt confident and at ease with our dog in Abby's care. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and we would definitely use Abby again in the future.

Laura is the best. She took such good care of our dog, and our house. She is thoughtful, loving with our dog, and very tidy. And she is a vet professional. What more could you ask for! I would highly recommend Laura without hesitation.

Ashley took excellent care of my greyhound and cat! My dog is older and has some special care requirements (supplements, diapers, anxiety) and Ashley had no issues managing it.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).

Alexis did a great job sitting for Pearl. She came to meet her and get oriented to the house ahead of time. She confirmed the booking quickly and followed up with a message the day before the job. Alexis took good care of our cat and kept us updated with texts and photos. She followed all instructions and left the house clean. I recommend hiring her!

About: My name is Tiaundra. I am a professional house manager/nanny and pet sitter. I have over 10 years of experience. I offer pet feeding/care, mail collection, plant care, trash & recycling services etc. I would absolutely love to care for your fur baby! I’m sure I’ll be adding more fur babies to the schedule shortly! I understand that it can be hard to trust someone with your lovely babies and property. That is why I am dedicated to providing high quality service that you can count on. With me, you can rest assured knowing your pet and home are in great hands. I look forward to hearing from you and helping keep your home and fur baby safe. Thank you for your time! I currently only work 4-6 hours a few days a week therefore I have ample time to care for and snuggle with all the fur babies. At this time I am only accepting pet sitting at the clients home. This may change in the near future however at the moment I do not offer pet sitting in my home.

Diana watched our two pups Nellie and Emma in our home for one overnight plus full day. We met Diana at an initial meet and greet and both our dogs immediately trusted her. Our one dog Nellie is a bit afraid / shy usually when she first meets someone but Diana she felt drawn to. So when Diana came to watch our dogs for the full overnight, it was great to see Nellie and Emma thrilled to see her and immediately starting playing with Diana. I received frequent updates from Diana and I felt so comfortable knowing Nellie and Emma were being well cared for. Thank-you Diana for everything! Will definitely be in touch to have you watch them again.

About: Although I don’t have any professional dog care experience, I have been raised around dogs all my life. I also foster dogs for an overseas organization. My compassion and love for all animals is what sets me apart from the rest and I’m active in my personal life which makes for great walks and hiking trips with your dog, should you want! I’m around weekends only since I work full time 8-5. Always happy to avail myself when I can because pet sitting brings me so much joy! I am very attentive, respectful, clean and neat. I would treat a clients home as I would my own and as I would want my own pet sitter to be like when providing services. Professionalism, tidiness and working with integrity are all qualities guaranteed with me!

Kriti did an amazing job taking care of my two chihuahua mixes overnight. She was really great with getting them comfortable with her and made sure to send tons of photos and videos. She was even able to give one dog medication she was prescribed the day before we met. Would highly recommend!

Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!

It was such a delight to work with Vee! From our first interactions and meet-up to the final day of her stay with our dog in our home, it was clear that Vee is a pro and thinks of every single detail. She watched our dog during our longest trip so far, and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was keeping our dog safe and happy! She sent regular updates and pics so that we didn’t worry for a second. It was clear our dog was so loved with Vee and we will absolutely reach out again when we are traveling!
