“Wonderful..Punctual which is one of the most important things to me. Took pictures every day.. Was very responsive when I texted her. Kept my house very clean. Followed my instructions on both my pets feeding schedules. Super nice !!Thank you”
“Dawn was warm, professional and reliable. I will totally use her again! I could tell that she had genuine care for animals and she had a great positive attitude. She was great about checking in and sending pics of my fur babies”
“Brittani strikes a great balance - professional, taking great care of our 3 dogs, being thorough, giving us progress reports but not too often so we knew our dogs were in good hands but still could enjoy our vacation away (1 week). She also gave us a great recap before she left. Definitely will use her again!”
“Robin is great with our two westies. One of ours is 15 and has specific care instructions and he’s always happy and feeling great when we get home. We will continue to have Robin watch our pups when we’re away and have great peace of mind.”
“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”
“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle and Deborah are amazing! They have 3 very friendly and playful dogs and our puppy had a great time with them. They sent us photos and videos of our baby playing and having a great time throughout the night, which we appreciated tremendously. If you love your puppy/dog as much as we love our baby I'm confident that you'll feel very comfortable with Danielle and Deborah.”
“Camille is the sweetest, most loving, on-time person to take care of our puppy. She was so helpful with the new member of our family. Highly recommend!”
“Alycia loved on my pup and took wonderful care the entire time. She helped with his medication and even went out of her own way to give him an easier time with better supplies!”
“Both Casper & Onyx seemed very happy with Darius. This was the first time we've left the dogs with someone we didn't know. We meet a few times with Darius before we left. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Darius. We will use h8me again when we go on vacation at the end of July.”
“Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!”
“Jessica truly is a 10/10! She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and she showered my dogs and cats with endless love during her stay. Jessica sent me updates and photos each day! It was extremely comforting to know that my fur babies were in good hands while I was away! She also kept everything very clean for the animals and made my house extra tidy for my return (even took out the garbage she used, which was not necessary …but it highlights the attention to detail and care she has). I will be using her for future bookings and would happily refer her to my friends and family! I highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds — from energetic retrievers and beagles to strong-willed American bulldogs, and now, two playful French bulldogs. I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers for each of my dogs, and I’m so grateful for that guidance. It’s taught me how to better understand dogs and communicate with them in a calm, consistent way. Over the years, I’ve learned how to adjust to each dog’s unique personality — whether they’re full of energy or need a little extra patience. My friends are always surprised at how quickly their dogs connect with me, even the shy or nervous ones. I love earning a dog’s trust and making them feel safe, seen, and cared for. Your pup will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, affection, and care tailored just for them. As an entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or sticking to a consistent feeding and potty routine, I’m able to give dogs the time and attention they need to feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any routines or guidelines you provide closely — from feeding schedules and crate time to walk preferences and training cues. Consistency helps dogs feel secure, and I do everything I can to make sure they feel right at home. In my own home, I keep a clean, dog-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I’m always mindful of what’s within reach and make sure all dogs are supervised during interactions, walks, and mealtimes. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure your pup is comfortable in their familiar space and stick to your instructions so there’s no added stress for them — or you. I also check in regularly with updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Christina was the best pet sitter that we ever had! It was obvious from our first meeting that she is a caring and conscientious person. She went above and beyond in handling all of the special needs of our elderly pets. She also sent us photos and short videos of our pets everyday! I highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter! She is the best! -Karin & Lana”
“Our dog got comfortable with him instantly! She is very shy with strangers but not with him! He gave us updates through our vacation so we were always informed. Would definitely use Sean again! :)”

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Blu! She was so attentive and caring the entire week. Even though Blu was technically alone most of the time, it never felt like it — she made sure he was loved and looked after like he was her own. The regular updates and adorable photos were such a comfort, and Blu looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. I completely trust her and now consider her my go-to sitter for any future travel. Highly recommend!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the care she gave our dog during our 4-night trip. Leaving our pup is never easy—he's such a huge part of our lives—but from the moment we met Christina, we felt completely at ease. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. Every morning and evening, she sent us sweet photo updates that instantly brought smiles to our faces and eased any worries we had. We could tell our dog felt comfortable, loved, and safe—and that meant everything to us. It’s such a gift to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, and Christina is that person. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a home that was just as we left it. We're so grateful for her care and can’t imagine using anyone else in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Christina!
Once again, Marianne was there for me so I could enjoy a night out with my husband and support him. I’m so grateful for her—I trust her completely with my little puppy. She’s amazing, always there when I need her, and always willing to go out of her way to help in any way she can. She even brought me two key litters—how thoughtful is that?
Darius was amazing he made an incredible connection with both dogs for 1 week of in house dog sitting He stayed in touch via text and photos which rally made us feel comforted and good He was always on time and thoughtful and diligent with the care of our pups especially they their 4th of July fireworks anxiety! we would absolutely recommend Darius and plan to use him again for our next trip Thanks Darius!
Robin is a lifesaver — and now, a forever friend. This was my first time leaving Murphy alone after adopting him almost a year ago, and to say I was nervous is an understatement. He doesn't typically warm up to new people right away, but somehow, Robin just got him. I had a cancellation policy on my flight just in case I had any doubt … but after meeting Robin the first time, I never even thought twice. She was calm, patient, and so present — and he took to her immediately. That kind of connection? You can’t fake it. Robin stayed at my home for the weekend, and not only did she take incredible care of Murphy, she left the house spotless — honestly, maybe even cleaner than I left it. Throughout the weekend, she sent the sweetest photos and updates that brought so much peace of mind. I can’t thank her enough for the care, kindness, and trust she gave us. I hesitate to share how amazing she is because I selfishly want to keep her to myself — but she deserves every bit of this praise. If you’re lucky enough to have Robin care for your pet, you’ve struck gold. 10/10 tail wags. 🐾
Jacob’s the best! I’m so glad I found him. He sent me updates and photos and was able to give my cat his daily medicine. He even watered my plants, brought my mail in and gave my cats a little care package of toys! I could tell he really cared about my cats and I was able to relax knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely book him again! 🐈🐈⬛😸
I can’t say enough great things about Mara! From the moment we met, it was clear how much they genuinely care about animals. They took the time to get to know my dog and his unique personality, quirks, and routines—and treated him with the same love and attention I would give. Every time I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Mara went above and beyond, sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about their adventures together. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such capable, loving hands. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with your furry family member, but I can honestly say Mara is one of those rare gems. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and truly devoted dog
Jessica truly is a 10/10! She is reliable, communicative, responsible, and she showered my dogs and cats with endless love during her stay. Jessica sent me updates and photos each day!

I am so grateful for Lauren!! This was a long house sitting ask(two weeks+)and it was rather last minute but she was extremely responsive and made the time for a meet & greet prior. While I was away - she regularly provided detailed updates and pictures and I could tell my little boy grew to love her!! Not to mention she kept the house clean and seemed to be spot on with all the quirky little details we walked through in our meet & greet related to the dog and the house! I would 1000% recommend her and plan on using her for future travels!
Catherine was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her. She treated our pet like a long, lost friend... Lots of attention and lots of communication with us on a daily basis. We returned home to find our cat happy and our home well cared for too. Thank you, Cathy!
Angelica was wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our boy, Apollo. She was attentive, communicative, and made sure we felt at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, sending regular updates, photos, and taking the time to understand his personality and needs.
Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!
Nothing brings me more nerves than days away from my pup, my separation anxiety is far worse. Caroline did an amazing job with Thelo! Regular updates on his walks, photos, and giving him the affection he always needs. Would highly recommend her for a house-sitting stay to take care of your beloved pet
I highly recommend Vadim to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter. Within about 10–15 minutes my dogs quickly got acquainted with Vadim and by the time I left I immediately received a video with one of my dogs already snuggling up and asking for belly rubs. I felt very reassured that my dogs were in good hands and appreciated the update videos and pictures while I was away. Thank you Vadim!
