1. Melanie P.

“Melanie was very responsive! She spent a lot of time with Lola and sent pictures and checked in. She is very reliable and great with communication!”


2. Hector L.

“Hector was absolutely fantastic with our cats and they liked him a lot. He was also very professional and friendly with us, sending us daily updates and pictures. We loved having him and already have him booked to watch our cats for our next trip.”


3. Elena G.

“Elena was amazing with our extremely anxious and reactive dog. She was patient with her and made sure to be mindful of other dogs in the neighborhood so she didn’t get scared or overwhelmed. She sent many photos and videos every day so we always had an update of how she was doing. Thank you so much, Elena!”


4. Rebecca F.

“Had a fantastic experience hiring Rebecca to housesit for Miles. She took the time to do a meet and greet and get acquainted with him and learn all about his needs prior to her stay with him, so I knew he would be in good hands. During her stay, I received frequent photo updates where it was very evident that he was extremely happy and comfortable with her and acting like his usual self! She even stayed a little later than planned to make sure he wouldn’t be alone before I could get back home. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to rebook for myself!”


5. Astrid V.
“I am constantly amazed by my wife’s deep love for dogs. Though we don’t have one of our own yet, she is always eagerly waiting for the day we can bring a dog into our home. Her compassion and affection for every dog she meets is truly remarkable. Whether it’s a dog we pass on a walk or one she meets at a friend’s house, her nurturing spirit shines through. She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs, understanding their needs and offering them love and comfort. Watching her interact with them is heartwarming—her gentle touch and kind words always make them feel safe and loved. Her love for dogs is a beautiful part of who she is, and I know that when the time comes, she’ll make the perfect dog mom.”


6. Giovanna S.

“Gigi was terrific! She stayed in my home with my pets - I received regular updates and pics which were very much appreciated. My furry family members were clearly well taken care of. My dog is friendly when I introduce him to new people… however, when he met Gigi he reacted like he was seeing an old friend. He could tell she’s an “animal person”. Will be hiring Gigi again!”




7. Joshua N.


“I can’t rave enough about Joshua. He stayed at our home to watch our two large breed dogs (lab and golden retriever) for the week while we went on vacation and it was our first time having someone pet sit at our home. Communication/setting up the meet and greet was easy and our dogs gravitated toward his kind demeanor right away. Throughout the week I messaged him and would get responses back within minutes of our dogs and even photos containing wild visitors/animals “trespassing”. When we returned home, our house was exactly how we left it with used linens and towels already in the dryer. Highly recommend. Thank you Joshua - for everything!”


8. Palma T.

“Palma was a pleasure to work with. She responds quickly to inquiries and is very prompt. She has a kind and sunny disposition and clearly loves animals. I felt so confident leaving our dog and home in her care. She sent us pics and updates which helped with our missing our pet. Everything in our home, and with our dog, was cared for with attention and detail. I would definitely use her again, and again!”


9. Jillian H.

“Jill is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We just moved to the area and didn’t have coverage for our week-long vacation. She was professional, super communicative, and kindly pretended not to notice how neurotic I am about my aging shih tzu. She is the reason we were able to enjoy our vacation, and I am grateful beyond words. We will definitely be calling Jill again. And again.”


10. Lusianna M.

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


11. Shannon E V.

“Shannon took exceptional care of our dog and cat and home for a week while we were away. She was communicative and sent pictures during the week. Our pets were very happy and healthy upon our return. We will be happy to book her in the future!!”


12. Andrea M.

“Andrea was very responsible and had great communication throughout the stay. She made us feel comfortable during the stay by sending us pictures of our two dogs and keeping us updated as needed. We would not hesitate to use Andrea again!”


13. Alixeanaly R.
““Alix is an incredible pet caregiver! Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. She’s responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets are happy and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, Alix provides a safe and loving environment for all furry friends. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!””


14. Tasha E.

“Tasha was amazing! She was here always in time, she was super sweet with our new puppy, who accepted her immediately! She played with her, was attentive to her needs . She would send pictures and videos along the day and once I arrived she informed me of all things that happened. She has an relaxed attitude and the puppy feels this and is relaxed and calmed once Tasha leaves. I cannot thank her enough for all her help!! 😍😍”


15. Joanna R.

“If you’re looking for a reason to book someone-look no further, you won’t be disappointed in Joanna. Joanna and her daughter Amelia were fantastic! I was given updates about my pups consistently making my week vacation worry free with everything at home. Joanna works from home mainly so she was with my dogs throughout the day, major plus. They walked one of my dogs regularly and followed my wishes to not walk the older one, *due to arthritis he can’t do walks. My elderly dog who really doesn’t like people, especially young kids cuddled with Joanna’s daughter, Amelia! That was a sight to see, if she didn’t send the photo I wouldn’t believe it. Heartwarming to see that my angry at life dog was happily cuddling up with someone other than me, what more could you ask for when away from them? When I came home I could very much tell my dogs were taken care of with love and my house was in better shape than I left it for them. I will definitely be using Joanna and her daughter again for future trips.”


16. Taylor F.

“Taylor is everything you could hope for in a sitter - she's communicative, conscientious, responsible and respectful. She took great care of my two cats while I was away, even bringing around my timid kitty in the course of a day. She diligently followed all my instructions and stayed in close contact to quell my nervousness. I have already rebooked with her. Highly recommend.”


17. Sherri L.


“Outstanding Dog Sitter! Sherri watched our Great Dane over Thanksgiving. She came to meet us and ask questions beforehand which put us all at ease before our trip. It was a heartwarming experience for us from afar to see the messages and pictures she shared as she was providing outstanding companionship. Sherri immediately sought out a connection with our dog and she was so attentive and loving that I’m pretty sure our dog will grieve her until she comes to help us again.”


18. Emilia J.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Emilia for a significant period of time, and I have come to truly appreciate her profound passion for dogs. Her assistance in caring for my Boxer dog, Rocky, was invaluable, as she not only provided support in potty training but also effectively aided in his socialization around people and other dogs. Emilia's patience and dedication to the task at hand were readily apparent. Additionally, I have witnessed her unwavering commitment to the well-being of her own companion, the Chocolate Labrador Akira, who is impeccably trained and cared for. Emilia has consistently made herself available to look after my dog when needed. As a conscientious dog owner, I hold her in the highest regard when it comes to entrusting the care of my beloved dog.”


19. Taliah D.

“Taliah was nothing short of exceptional! Our dogs were so happy to be with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day, showed care and concern and asked questions when needed. I can’t recommend her enough. Looking forward to the next time we are away and can book her! Will 💯 use her again!”




20. Elysse R.


“Wow! I was very impressed with the care my pups received! Elysse was put to the test but prevailed. She is an excellent dog sitter. Patient, caring, strong and dependable. I am so happy I found her.”
