1. Shakira C.
“Shakira is amazing! I feel like she's part of the family. She did an amazing job looking after my Maltipoo, Dash! She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day. I really appreciate the way she made both me and Dash feel comfortable. Before she left, I had already booked her for another sitting for Dash. She's the best!”
2. Alexa B.
“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”
3. Belicia K.
“Belicia took wonderful care of Anya while we were away for 8 days. She fed and walked her and sent us numerous photos and updates. Anya fell sick during her stay and Belicia took great care of her. We would love to work with her again!”
4. Roman H.
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Roman as a cat sitter. I have known Roman for several years, and he spent several weeks house and pet sitting for my two Devon Rex cats. I can confidently say that he is not only an animal lover but also possesses the unique qualities necessary to care for our furry family members. Roman has a natural affinity for cats, he understands their specific needs, including their love for interaction and their sensitive nature. His previous experience with various breeds with his mother has equipped him with a keen awareness of different cat behaviors, allowing him to handle any situation that may arise with patience and understanding. During his time as a cat sitter for my own pets, I witnessed Roman’s commitment to providing exceptional care. Moreover, Roman is always attentive to the individual needs and personalities of the cats he cares for. He is adept at recognizing when they want to play, cuddle, or have some quiet time, and he approaches each situation with the right balance of energy and gentleness. In addition to his skills as a caregiver, Roman possesses excellent communication skills. He provides regular updates, sending photos and messages to reassure that my kitties are doing well. This level of communication not only offers peace of mind but also demonstrates his dedication and commitment to providing a high standard of care. I am confident that your pets will be happy, well-cared-for, and loved under his supervision.”
5. Sarah S.
“Sarah did a great job with Hazel and Apollo. This was the first time we have left them with a sitter (other than a family member), so we were a bit nervous, but once I asked for some updates and photos, Sarah was good about sending them! She was very prompt with her arrival times and our dogs seemed comfortable with her from the beginning.”
6. Elizabeth D.
“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”
7. Jasmine P.
“Jasmine did an amazing job house sitting with our pup. She clearly communicated the whole week and left the house spotless. Our dog was well taken care of and very relaxed when we returned. She sent updates and was a pleasure to work with. We would love to rebook Jasmine our next trip and highly recommend her!”
8. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.
“Jayden was an extremely reliable sitter. They were very willing to meet us before booking. Jayden was great about providing us with frequent updates on our pets.”
9. Raeanna H.
“Raeanna house sat for us during Thanskgiving. She fed the cats and left our house the way we left it. Only giving her 4 stars because she came late (6.5 hours after the booking time) and left earlier than the booking time - she did ask me if she could leave early.”

11. Samantha E.
“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”
