“Natalie is awesome. She watched our senior cat and gave him meds and he even came out of hiding to greet her. Plus kept our crazy doodle happy. Lots of feedback and pictures. Booking her again before someone else beats us to it!!”

“Jenna did an excellent job caring for our naughty senior dog on medications. Her communication was timely, regular, and helpful. Would recommend her very highly!”

“Ian was really great! Cormac has always taken a minute to warm up to people, but I did not expect him to take several days. Ian was amazing and patient with Cormac, he really did not push and made sure to communicate with me and make sure he was doing best by Cormac. Honestly, my only expectation because of Cormacs shyness was that he kept Cormac fed and walked. But Ian still went above and beyond, my first walk with Cormac was probably one of the easiest post sitter walks that I have been on. Without having to be told it was obvious that Ian followed all of cormacs on leash protocol. Could not have been more happy.”

“Zoe was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Aggie was well cared for and Zoe made great efforts at communicating with me. I also really appreciate the polaroid photo that Zoe let of Aggie, that was really sweet.”

“I cannot recommend Primrose enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my dog. Not only was she incredibly attentive and loving with my pup, but she also did my laundry and left my apartment spotless. I came home to a clean, cozy space and a very, very happy pup. In fact, my dog was more excited to see Primrose than me when I walked through the door—which says everything you need to know about the bond they built over the week! It was clear they'd become best buddies, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Primrose also sent me adorable daily photos and updates of Lil while I was gone and was incredibly responsive. If you're lucky enough to book her, do it—your pet (and your home) will thank you!”

“Elise stayed at my place for five days to watch my cat. She was very responsive to my questions throughout my trip. She also came by beforehand to meet my cat who is usually shy but he quickly warmed up to her. She took good care of him and left my place very clean. Would happily recommend her!”

“Sol has watched my dog a few times and they are wonderful. They communicate daily on how my pup is doing and send lots of photos. They are very respectful of our home and always leave my home better than they found it. I will certainly book with Sol again.”

“Erin was amazing and took great care of my little senior Yorkie, Olive. Erin was always easy to get a hold of, and sent frequent updates and pictures! They took great care to be clean and respectful of my apartment as well. Highly recommended!”

“Natalia is the best! She was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were in great hands. The house was spotless when I got back and I’ve already booked her for my next few trips. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah spent a week with my golden retriever and cat and was very communicative. She would update me with pictures and send cute notes. I just moved into Seattle so she will be my go to for pet sitting from now on!”

“Mason was so wonderful with our senior dog. He stopped by twice—once for a meet and greet and once the day of the sitting to review the loads of information needed to appropriately care for our dog. Mason communicated multiple times per day, never hesitated to ask a question when needed and always let us know our dog was in safe hands. Our house was left in great condition and we came home to a happy pup. Would highly recommend Mason!”

“Allie was so great with our dogs on her first boarding experience with them. She sent lots of photos and videos and was very communicative. And our dogs took to her immediately. Would definitely rehire!”

“Laura was super responsive and thoughtful while she took care of our home and our big sweet pooch. She did a wonderful job overall and I am very grateful for her help while we were out of town. We will reach out to her again in the future!”

“Dale took great care of our older dog who stops eating, refuses to go outside and withdraws when we are away. Dale watched her for 3 days and was patient and kind. She was able to coax her out for potty breaks and short walks. She was calm with our dog, who responds well to that. Dale was great with communication too. Thank you Dale!”

“We loved having Amanda sit for our menagerie! She clearly cares about details and providing the best, individualized care for everyone. She sent great updates and photos, and definitely left the house cleaner than we did! Will hire again for sure.”

“Marriah is simply incredible at caring for high-needs pets. This was my first experience using an app for an overnight in-home house-sitter for my 14yo yorkie. Our dog has a strict prescription diet for cushings disease and requires gentle, attentive and near constant care. Marriah was professional, cheerful, patient and supportive throughout the 8 days she stayed with our little old lady. I was amazed how Marriah hand fed our dog and got her comfortable and eating again even while she was moping and sad from being left behind. Marriah sent so many pictures and updates on how our girl was doing and I felt so safe leaving my smallest family member in her hands. She is worth every dollar and I would recommend Marriah to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate caregiver for any kind of service from walks to overnight care. We will definitely ask for her again!”


“Mandy is SO good at what she does. She is caring, attentive, and communicative. And, she takes great pictures of Belle and sends very thoughtful updates. I could recommend her more.”

Sophie was a really great watching my dog, Juni and housesitting. She is very respectful and a great communicator, so it was easy to relax while away knowing my dog was in good hands. I highly highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for pet care and will definitely be booking again in the future :)

Olivia is amazing on every level! She is professional, knowledgeable and is an excellent communicator. She is extraordinarily caring with our dog Ellie, who has had a number of health issues and suffers from separation anxiety. Olivia has worked with Ellie after knee surgery, managing Ellie’s limitations and medications with great care. Now that Ellie has recovered, Olivia has worked with Ellie on her anxiety issues by inventing games and bringing puzzles to distract her. To top it off, Olivia is an excellent photographer! We always get lovely photos of Ellie’s time with Olivia. In other words, Olivia is a gem!
Dale was such a great sitter for our little furry friends!! She was very thorough in asking questions about our pets and how to care for them as well as diligent and responsive. Kept us informed the whole time she was caring for our pets and that made us feel very comfortable just knowing they were in good hands. 10/10!!!

Jenna took amazing care of my dog while I was away for a few days and kept me posted with pictures and updates. She was super responsive when I reached out, and extremely considerate and thoughtful throughout the process. We will definitely be working with Jenna again!
