2. Marideth W.
“Could not be happier with Marideth's house-sitting! She took great care of both my mother's and my own cats while we were away. She also went the extra mile to make sure our trash was out and snow shoveled when the snow came! 10/10 would book her again!”

8. Beste A.
“I have known Beste for 5 years and I am delighted to share my positive experience with Beste as a dog sitter. She has been an absolute lifesaver for my dog and me on multiple occasions. The first time I left my dog with Beste, I was immediately impressed by how attentive and caring she was. She spent quality time with my dog, making sure he was comfortable and engaged while I was away. My dog, usually quite anxious, was calm and happy when I returned, which reassured me that Beste truly understands the needs of pets. On another occasion, Beste went above and beyond when my dog had a minor health issue while I was traveling. She kept me updated with regular messages and even took him to the vet to ensure everything was alright. I couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and compassionate dog sitter. I trust Beste completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets!”

10. Sydney J.
“I entrusted Sydney to take care of my incredibly needy cat, Jesse, for a week while on vacation and I could NOT have been more satisfied. She provided twice daily updates, with photos, gave him grooming and play and attention at every visit, and went above and beyond to ensure he was healthy and loved. There is no one else I will now ask to watch him- Syd is it!”
11. Gabriella S.
“Gabby was attentive and fulfilled exactly what was needed for our fur babe. Every time I checked in with her, she was already a step ahead of me. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
12. Miranda W.
“Miranda was wonderful. She clarified anything she wasn’t sure of immediately and sent us pics throughout the week- just enough to keep us informed but not too many to have us focused on back home. House was as clean as we left it, and our animals were happy and healthy. Will use her again!”

I would completely and unequivocally trust him with my dog!”

Would definitely recommend Ray to anyone in need of a sitter.”
20. Izilda P.
“Izilda is great with animals as she cares for my family dog with love and care. She took her out on walks, fed and gave her water and also just spent time with her which is what my dog needed. She also is great with cats and knows how to interact and play with them but also give them their space. Izilda is a great animal person and shows every pet, small or big, the love and care they need.”
