“This is the first time that Natalie has taken care of my kitties and I'd definitely have her back. Fabulous communicator - kitties and house in great shape upon my return.”
“She was on time and very friendly! She and Charlie had a marvelous time together. Use her again any time I'm in town. Great for downtown hotel sitting while you go to a show. Thanks a million.”
“Sofia is an extremely responsible and kind individual who took great care of our dog and cat. We came home to a spotless house and happy pets. I would highly recommend Sofia for your house sitting and pet care needs.”
“Diane was amazing! She stayed ant our house with Bailey. She was super responsive and sent pictures daily of Bailey. She even gave us some plant tips for our dying plants 😂 highly recommend Diane for any pet watching needs!”
“Eunice is so wonderful! She understood my directions really well, asked a lot of questions beforehand, and it looks like Eddie had a lot of fun hanging out with her too. By the time I came back from vacation he was well fed and bright eyed. I can't wait to book Eunice again!”
“Deven was an awesome sitter for our little Olive. He kept me updated throughout the day which allowed me to enjoy my time away. I look forward to hiring Deven in the future and I highly recommend him.”
“Primrose was a great sitter! She took time out of her day to meet with us before our trip so we could introduce her to our dog, Jack. This was our first time having someone outside our close family and friends stay with him, so we were a bit anxious, but Primrose kept us updated throughout the whole weekend by sending photos and reassurance. We would definitely book with her again!”
“I’ve been using Uliana for my trips this summer and have been very impressed. The house is spotless and my dog Ginger has been very well taken care of. I would highly recommend Uliana for your pet :)”
“We feel such comfort leaving our very senior dog with Tassia. Our dog requires a lot of patience, and his needs continue to evolve as he ages. Tassia is very communicative, attentive to him, and experiments ways to help get him eating. Thank you Tassia!”
“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.”
“Allie was absolutely fantastic! She catsit my three cats in my home and was incredibly communicative and good to my cats. The cats had recently been introduced each other, so she had to perform additional work to get them to get along with each other. I came back to my cats getting along even better than before I left, and that's all due to how good Allie is with cats. She clearly has a lot of expertise from working with so many pets, and I couldn't recommend her more. I received so many cute photos of the cats while I was away.”
“I highly recommend David if you are in need of a diligent, patient and responsive dog sitter. He did an amazing job taking care of our elderly and blind dog who needs multiple medications (including eye drops) multiple times a day. He sent us great updates and adjusted care when we provided feedback.”
“I am so grateful for Elise's patience and understanding given the particular challenges Pedrito has. My dog can be very reactive and territorial and has a hard time with new people. We arranged to meet before she I went away and it was clear her demeanor (so calm, and patient and kind) is a perfect match for my little nugget. I very much recommend Elise for dog sitting. She was prepared and asked about any medications, or special needs Pedrito may have. Luckily he does not, but it's clear she was on top of his schedule and made sure he got his carrots and greenies like normal when I'm here. Having a reactive dog can be tough, and I do my best to set him up for success. Thanks Elise for bearing with all the detailed instructions and the one time he growled at you for daring to enter the apartment! He was so happy when I returned and I'm so glad we found Elise on here!”
“Victoria housesat and cared for our two cats for a short trip. She was attentive and communicative, bringing up concerns as they came up and offering suggestions, like thinking of whisker fatigue and being mindful of litter box behavior. Appreciate you taking good care of our kitties!”
About: Grew up with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals. Have had my own animals my whole life and been taking care of others for years! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since my schedule is very flexible. I’m an early riser, so I’m available for morning care, and I can adjust throughout the day to meet your pet’s needs. I’m able to work around different schedules and make sure pets get consistent attention, care, and reliability whenever needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all instructions closely, and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets are secure, supervised, and never put in unsafe situations, while also keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I focus on building trust with both the pet and the owner by being reliable, communicative, and attentive to details. I keep the environment peaceful and comfortable, giving pets plenty of care, attention, and affection so they feel safe and at ease while you’re away.
“So glad we found Laura for our recent trip! She did such an amazing job with our senior dog and sent plenty of updates and pics. She was very professional and trustworthy!! We will definitely contact Laura again any time we need a sitter!”
“Highly recommend Noah for housesitting. He took such great care of my pup and was very attentive to his needs. Sent lots of pictures and updates, which I love. And he left the apartment nice and clean when I came home!! Will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Josh cared for my senior bichon mix at my home while I was out of town. He was communicative and thoughtful, including by bringing out the trash and prepping my dog’s meals for the two days after I was back. I can absolutely recommend him.”
“Jade continues to be amazing! Smalls loves her and she takes such great care of him! I came home and I think he misses her already haha! Thank you Jade for being an amazing sitter!”
“Dana was so good with my kitties! Pistachio is a shy, nervous cat and doesn't usually get comfortable around people easily - and she was so comfortable around Dana that she got on her lap on the second day of sitting! She also was very communicative and sent me photos as I had requested. When I got home, it was clear that both the kitties and my apartment had been well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”

Erin is the best. My dog was so well cared for. She normally feels nervous around people, but she felt safe with Erin right away. I got lots of photos of her cuddling, which she only does when she feels safe. Some strange things happened in my building that alerted me and helped my dog feel safe again. My apartment was cleaner than when I left it. They are wonderful.
Lily was great. She took good care of my special needs dogs, who have a couple med admins a day. She even helped when the dogs’ physical therapist came. She also took good care of the house, and everything was clean when I came home. Would definitely use her again.
Zoë took amazing care of our two dogs! She is by far the best Rover we have worked with. We will absolutely book Zoë again. She was responsive and communicative. I didn’t worry about the dogs once for the week we were away. She left our home exactly as she found it and we came home to two very happy pups.
Dafne was amazing with my 8 year old Great Dane! Mac can be timid and slow to warm up and her calm demeanor and patience had him warmed up in no time. They had a wonderful weekend together and I got so many picture updates. 🥰 I’d love to have Dafne stay with my guy again and would recommend her to anyone!
Jessi was an incredible sitter! She gave predictable updates everyday with lots of pictures and even made a beautiful checklist showing our pup getting his food and medication each day. I felt completely at ease that our pup was being well cared for while we were gone
Cassandra watched my dog while I was on vacation for a week - she was an absolute pleasure to work with and have in my home! My dog loved her and was very happy, she was super communicative and reliable, and she left my home in excellent condition ❤️ I would highly recommend her!
Erin was great. My pup wasn't feeling well while we were away and Erin kept her comfortable and me well informed of her status. I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Erin clearly loves animals and cared for my dog as her own. I highly recommend her for home pet sitting.
Emily did a great job taking care of Penny, especially giving her a liquid antibiotic via syringe which was an unplanned care item. Penny was very happy and well adjusted when we came home which meant she was quite comfortable with Emily. The house was in perfect shape and we would definitely have Emily sit for us again.
Dianna was hands down the best house sitter we’ve ever had. We needed someone to care for our husky, Lilo, while we were out of town for several days, and Dianna exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout our trip. Every day, she sent detailed updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lilo was happy, safe, and well cared for. When we got home, Lilo was excited to see us, but it was obvious she had formed a special bond with Dianna. In fact, we think she was a little disappointed it wasn’t Dianna walking through the door! That alone speaks volumes about the care, attention, and love she provided. We would recommend Dianna without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional house sitter.
Megan was so nice! Extremely friendly and instantly made me feel reassured my 4 cats would be in good hands 🥹 our apartment was spotless when we came home and all the kitties got a good brushing. I love that she provided updates and super cute pictures, but made sure to check what our preference was for frequency since we were on a work trip and would be fairly unavailable. Super thoughtful! Highly recommend Megan although I wish she could cat sit only for me 🤭
