1. Rebecca F.

“Rebecca was AMAZING. VERY RESPONISIBLE and LOVING to our two elderly furry family members while she took care of them over a 5 day period. Our only option was a 5 STAR RATING however she is in an ELITE GROUP that is WAY ABOVE the 5 star rating scale.”


2. Maya R.

“We feel so lucky to have found Maya!! She gave us so many updates while we were away, and we truly felt like she was happy to be with our dogs. We came home to a spotless house and happy dogs!! We highly recommend Maya!!”




3. Joshua N.


“Joshua was great. He didn't have an easy task taking care of three big dogs, but they got along perfectly. Joshua sent pictures and videos and the dogs were nice and tired when we got home. And the house was in great shape. We've already booked him again!”


4. Brianna L.
About: Since very young I have always loved furry babies! I'm thrilled to extend my love and care to the furry babies in my neighborhood. I have had 3 beloved dogs of my own even nursing one from just three weeks old! Over the past year, I've had the incredible opportunity to foster seven adorable pups, successfully finding loving homes for each of them! I am currently working part time on weekends so I have more than enough time to play with your pups! Available everyday & accept last minute requests!! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a court yard where your dog can potty. I am very active and love to go on walks and runs with the dogs I care for! I have my own supplies such as toys, blankets, bed, and crate!


5. Carla A.
“Carla took care of my 3 year old German Shepard, Raylan, while my family and I were on vacation. He is a little tricky and rambunctious, so its important that whover cares for him is a good fit. Carla was amazing! She obviously has a natural affinity for animal care, as she was firm yet super friendly. Raylan was well behaved for her and by the end of the trip he was all tail wags and doggy kisses! She walked, fed, and played with him- no easy task with a large German Shepard on the leash, and who has a tendency for food aggression. As loyal as German Shepards are for those they consider theirs- I think he was truly sad to see her go!”


6. Palma T.

“Palma was on time, gave all necessary medications, sent photos, and left the house cleaner than she found it! She communicated well. Our babies were in great hands. Thank you Palma!!”


7. Astrid V.
“I have known Astrid for two years and would definitely recommend her. She has cared for my puppy,Tilly numerous times and has done a phenomenal job and my puppy absolutely loves her. She is responsible and compassionate.”


8. Lusianna M.

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


9. Megan M.


“Super great. Helped us out on short notice and followed our instructions perfectly.”


10. Allore P.

“Allore did a great job watching my pets while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. I could tell my pets were comfortable and when I got home everything was in order. Will definitely be booking with her again”


11. Hector L.

“Immediately after meeting Hector, we knew he'd be a great fit. Both dogs loved him, even the one who can be a bit particular and moody. He gave regular updates with great pics, was happy to reinforce training and commands we use, and it was everything we could have asked for. As a bonus he has a ton of experience with dogs as he runs a local dog kennel! Highly recommend and will be booking Hector in the future.”


12. Zion T.

“Very polite and kind, my dog absolutely loved Zion.”


13. Magdalena B.
“Maggie was great with our two kitties and super responsive even though we booked with relatively short notice. Thank you!”


14. Jillian H.

“We are so lucky to have Jillian to care for our pets! Prompt, professional, thorough, communicative, supportive, and animal- sensitive : there are not enough superlatives or stars to reflect our gratitude for Jillian’s work.”




15. Madeline S.
About: I have volunteered with dogs for about 5-6 years, including with large dogs and reactive dogs. I also pet sit my friends' dogs. For me, spending time with animals is therapy. I would love to give your dog all the attention they deserve during my visits. Whether it's long walks, snuggle time or a check-in, I will make sure your pet gets the best love and care! I work full-time but my job is flexible. I'm available for drop-ins, overnight stays and walks. The end of the week and weekends are the most open for me. I cannot pet sit at my apartment, but I am comfortable staying in others' homes. This is how I pet sit for my friends. This also helps with pets' comfort, I think.


16. Gloria B.

“Gloria graciously took a very last minute booking for me and I couldn’t have been happier. Excellent communication, arrived on time, was very nice. Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you!”


17. Joanna R.

“Joanna and her daughter were wonderful with our pups while we were gone!! Joanna was very responsive and attentive to our requests. We were grateful they showed our dogs lots of love and will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you, Joanna!”


18. Veronica M.

“Veronica is AMAZING! My dog loves her so much that when I get home after a week she acts like I only left for 2 hours. Seriously, she doesnt miss me because she enjoys her time with Veronica so much, and that's extra impressive she's a very needy and anxious dog. Veronica always sends pictures and updates while I'm gone to give me peace of mind. My dog is epileptic and requires medication daily, and I never have to worry about missed doses. She's so kind and sweet, and she will treat your pets and home with all the love and respect in the world. You won't regret leaving your babies with her!”


19. Saylor S.

“Saylor was kind enough to take a very last minute booking for me on a weekday afternoon. She responded promptly, communicated well, asked good questions. She was early to the appointment, very friendly and kind in person. (And she’s got cute doggies!) I will absolutely be asking her back.”


20. Alyssa W.

“Alyssa did amazing and was very attentive with our animals. Sent us lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely use her in the future.”
