Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.

Mirren was amazing with our senior dog and young kitten. Both pets were very happy with her and she was an amazing house sitter. Very respectful, on time, and gave us plenty of updates. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!

Russell took such great care of our dog while we were out of town, and was by far the most communicative pup sitter we’ve had. He kept us updated on everything they were up to which made it easy to not have to worry about how she was doing. Would definitely recommend to others and book him again next time we’re going out of town.

We hired Karima to pet sit/house sit while we went away for a few days. It was our first time leaving our two dogs at home because traveling and leaving them at someone else’s house causes them stress in their older age, and we are so happy we found Karima! She followed their schedule perfectly and administered medication to our older guy. She provided videos and updates which put us at ease. She also left the house spotless and the dogs were happily exhausted by the time we got home. We will be hiring her again in the future!

Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.

Virginia was absolutely amazing with my stubborn-but-sweet old lady pitbull. So amazing, in fact, that I handed Virginia a dog that was hopped up on anti-anxiety with an upset stomach, and received in return a happy, chunky, well-rested pup. Clearly, Virginia’s patience and kindness won over even the grumpiest of dogs, and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you, Virginia!

Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.

Jordan was great with my pup! This was her first time sitting for my dog & I was admittedly nervous to leave for such a long trip. She sent updates a couple times a day with pictures which helped ease some of my anxiety. She was also super attentive and followed the care instructions very well. I'll definitely book with her in the future!

Flor was incredible with Mila! She sent us so many pictures/updates and it was clear how much she bonded with Mila. We were so grateful for the quality of care and had complete trust in her, especially while we were without service for several days. Flor also came back to walk Mila in a last-minute request when one of our flights was delayed. We can’t recommend her enough!

I usually get anxious about finding a sitter for my dog and cat. That being said, Elsbeth was beyond excellent with Kiki and Trixie! She responds very quickly which I deeply appreciated! I could tell my fur babies were very comfortable with her and really loved her company. Elsbeth kept things running smoothly while we were gone and was great at keep us updated. We came back to a clean home as well. Cannot recommend her highly enough! If I needed someone to watch Kiki and Trixie again, I would 100% request her again!! Thank you Elsbeth!

Madison spent a few hours at our home with our pups when we were in a last minute pinch due to our schedules and a pup recovering from an injury needing 24/7 supervision. She replied quickly to my initial message and arrived at our home early. She ensured she had all the info needed to care for our pups. Thanks Madison!
