Victoria did a great job with Freya (who can be very shy and anxious with new people). She kept me updated with pics and texts throughout the session. I would definitely trust her to watch Freya again!

Leonardo took wonderful care of our cat, Genie, while we were away on our five day honeymoon. He came by daily to feed her, clean her litter box, and spend time with her. We especially appreciated that he brushed her when he noticed her fur was getting a bit matted and made sure to give her plenty of pets and attention. He was very communicative throughout the entire stay, sending daily updates and pictures that really put us at ease and let us know Genie was in great hands. It made such a difference being able to relax on our trip knowing she was being so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Leonardo to others and would happily book with him again in the future!

Cynthia was very responsive and responsible right from the beginning. Given that we had had some past unpleasant experiences with house sitting, she was very receptive to our instructions and kept us informer. On the day of our return, as our flight was landing late, she offered to stay back late till we arrived! We would be definitely using her services quite often.

Our dog, Toby, LOVES when Bridget comes over to stay with him. They had a great long weekend and she made sure we had updates and pics along the way. She gave him watermelon snacks, walks around the neighborhood, and hung out with him in his favorite sun spot on our deck. We always trust her to care for our Toby. :)

Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!

Irie is phenomenal! It’s only our second time with house sitting and she just put us completely at ease from the get go. We always got regular updates and we really appreciated how she really seemed to bond with Gatsby. She left the absolute sweetest note too! We could not be happier with her incredible care of our pup and our home. Could not recommend more highly!

Rachel did an amazing job watching my lil fur baby for 3 nights! She was very attentive to his needs, asking all the right questions, and sent me plenty of detailed updates. My dog has separation anxiety and can be very depressed when I am away but she worked with him to cheer him up the whole time! It was clear she treated him as her own and I am grateful for that!

About: Let's go on a walk! Depending on where you live, I'm happy to find a safe and fun place to walk your pup. If doing a home visit, we'll play fetch, tug, or frisbee until your pup is panting and ready for a snooze. Whatever the need, I’m more than likely to fall in love with your pooch and am willing to accommodate any of their needs :) Hello! My name is Brittney and I'm a responsible owner of a (very high-energy) 8-year-old Siberian Husky rescue pup, plus a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix. Got a puller who needs a walk with someone who's been there? I'm your girl; my husky pulls me around the neighborhood as we're training for a sled race. Need someone to swing by and feed and play with your dog? Give me your stinkiest canned food and a ball, I've got this one. I love dogs and would love to help provide care/exercise for busy pup parents, as I know life gets busy, and sometimes we all need help giving our dogs the attention, care, and exercise they need. And, of course, I'll send you pics and text updates. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I work a day job with a really flexible schedule and am almost always available for pups in the area. Happy to take on last-minute requests as well! I care for my client’s pets/homes as if they were my own. (That rhymes!) Our pets are family and even when I’m working with other people’s dogs, I treat them as family (usually because I fall in love with them.)

Lyv completely saved me when another dogsitter cancelled. She clearly knows dogs and asked all the right questions, and my pup Summer immediately took to her. Lyv communicated really well, texting me beforehand to confirm when she would arrive, again when she arrived, sending photo updates, etc. throughout the whole week. I could even tell from the photos that Summer was really comfortable and not stressed at all, which was confirmed when I came home and she was 100% normal as if I'd never been gone. Would definitely book Lyv again!

Brandy took wonderful care of my senior dog, Bunny, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative throughout the visit and sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and she was so attentive to Bunny's needs as an older dog. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I would absolutely book with Brandy again. Highly recommend!

Lauren was absolutely fantastic! We had a meet and greet before the sitting, and it was clear from the very beginning that she wanted to make sure that she understood Kaito's routines, temperament, and idiosyncrasies so that she could provide the best care possible. She was communicative, kind, and a great house guest as well as pet sitter. Kaito was clearly well cared for and happy in our absence. She sent periodic updates throughout our time away, which we really appreciated. I absolutely plan to rebook with her in the future, and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet.
