“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”


“Victoria was wonderful, as usual. She kept us up to date on Onyx while we were a way and sent us plenty of pictures. Onyx seemed very happy when we came home, and the house was in great shape too.”


“Ana stayed with Mara overnight at my house and was such a great sitter. She provided thorough updates, asked thoughtful questions, and sent me lots of photos of my girl. I am so excited to have found such a trustworthy sitter!”



“Elizabeth was the best! I had never left my kitties before and I was really anxious about leaving them for the first time but Elizabeth gave me the assurance that they will be loved and taken care of while I was not with them. Even though it was a short stay my kitties managed to get comfortable with Elizabeth and cuddled with her. She sent me lots of fotos and videos that I greatly appreciate. When I came back my home was as if I never left and my kitties were happy to see but relaxed and not anxious at all. I would 100% contact Elizabeth the next time I leave my kitties behind.”


“Yuliia did an outstanding job taking care of our home and our beloved Wally, a 20 lb. Corgi mix. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated daily with thoughtful texts and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless—just as we left it—and Wally was in great health, clearly happy and well cared for. Yuliia’s attentiveness and genuine love for animals shone through in everything she did. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”


“Matt was so great to work with! He was incredibly nice and communicative, and I could tell our boy was in safe hands. He sent frequent pics and updates. Would definitely book again.”


“Tiffany was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our 8-month-old puppy, Disco, for 7 days/nights at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tiffany's communication was top notch-she sent photos every morning and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of Disco, ensuring she was happy and well-cared-for. It was clear that she also respected our home-when we returned, the house was clean, and everything was how we left it. Tiffany went above and beyond, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Ariana was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible, even letting us switch the dogs out at the last minute, which we really appreciated. She communicated quickly and clearly, making everything so easy and stress-free. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”


“Dwayne was our first ever pet sitter, and he was awesome! We have 2 large dogs and 1 is cautious with new experiences. Dwayne was incredibly patient and after a day, the dogs both loved him. He sent us regular updates with pictures and video so we knew how they were all faring. Thank you! I highly recommend him.”


“Daniel took exceptional care of our two dogs. He was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. I felt at ease from the moment we dropped them off, and Daniel continued to make me feel so throughout their stay. I highly, highly recommend him!”


“Jenna exceeded our expectations! We asked more of her than a regular house stay; ultimately she watched over our home, one of our pups who is elderly, and many chickens! Her communication was consistent throughout and we felt like we were getting great updates along the way. We would hire her again and recommend her!”


“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”


“Jena kept me updated throughout my trip so I knew my pets were comfortable and cared for. She spent a lot of time with my pets to make sure they were loved while I was gone. They seemed very happy when I got home and my home was clean and just the way I left it. Would book with her again.”


“LaShanda is so great! Penelope immediately loved her! I really appreciated how many pictures and videos LaShanda sent. It put my dog mom heart at ease. I would definitely contact her to sit for Penelope again.”


“Ronnie stayed in our house for two weeks caring for our dog Tani, and did an excellent job. She closely bonded with Tani-dog, even through the occasional presence of her nemesis (thunder). She sent regular updated pics--something that definitely makes the time apart easier--and left the house as she found it. We recommend Ronnie wholeheartedly!”


“Taylor did a great job with my 2 cats. They both love attention and were both in great spirits when I returned. Taylor made sure to give plenty of updates with lots of pictures and videos so I knew my cats were happy!”


“Hannah did a great job taking care of our boys and keeping us updated. We felt comfortable with her in our home and felt confident she would treat our boys as her own. We won’t hesitate to have her stay with them again.”

Cody finally won Pippi over. She allowed him to put her harness on and walked her every morning. They played fetch every evening, her favorite. Cody sent pictures of her walks and when she would sunbathe in the yard. He applied cream meds to the side of her face where she was rubbing on the rug. it looked a lot better when I got home. Cody washed the bed sheets, covers and made the bed. The trash was taken out and the house was in the same condition as I left it. I would use Cody again.

This was Shanna’s second house sit with our two cats, we are so comfortable leaving them in her hands. She sent regular updates and was very diligent with my diabetic senior cat’s needs. The communication was great and the cats were relaxed and social around her. Would 100% recommend Shanna and hope she comes back for us

Cortney did such an amazing job caring for our two pups, and handled an unexpected medical situation with one dog very promptly and professionally. She kept us updated with her aftercare and with the general state of the dogs while we were gone. 10/10 recommend!!

What a saving grace Sarah was to our family! Last minute did a meet and greet and was able to stay with our dog very last minute as I went into labor. Had to extend the stay and her willingness last minute will always be appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!

Our pup loves Amanda and we’d go back to Amanda again and again! We were gone for a long trip and we were so glad we had Amanda to take care of her. We never had to worry about her knowing that she was with Amanda who loves her dearly. Amanda would go out of her way to get her favorite pup treats and etc. she also took great care of our house, our can’t wait to hang out with Amanda again!

Anthony did an amazing job watching my golden retriever puppy for two days at my home. He kept me updated the entire time with constant communication, sent photos, and was super flexible with my schedule. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and my house was just as I left it. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend him!

Olena did an amazing job with our boys over the weekend while we were out of town. She kept us updated with photos each day and we could easily see how happy the boys were while we were away. She cared for our home going above and beyond. I highly recommend Olena to anyway looking for a sitter. She is an expert and genuinely cares for the animals in her care.

Ari was wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog, keeping him happy and well-exercised, and also looked after our home. We came back to a clean house, collected mail and packages, and a very content pup. Jojo had upset stomach during the time when Ari was sitting him, so she gave me daily updates and fed him pumpkin purée. I appreciated the fast thinking, and it’s clear she has a deep knowledge of dog health and behavior, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!!

Ariana was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible, even letting us switch the dogs out at the last minute, which we really appreciated.
