“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 a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”

“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.”

“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”

“Virginia provided such great care for our two dogs. She provided great updates and pictures, and went above and beyond when our little guy was not feeling well. It gave us great peace of mind when we were out of town that she cared for our dogs like her own.”


“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!”

“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”

“Jayme is an absolute life saver! The most reliable attentive, kind and caring pet sitter we have ever had. Our two puppies and cat love him! We were in a pinch where we had to leave for the day and Jayme saved us with coming through in the clutch. I would give 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend and I highly always recommend tipping well with his very reasonable rates!”

“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”

“Marshe was great! She sent updates about my cats each day and was very good at recognizing what they each needed while I was away. My place was nice and clean upon my return as well. I would definitely use Marshe again!”

“Nicole was fantastic! She was organized, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog while housesitting for several days. It's easy to see why she's a Star Sitter. We'll definitely hire her again in the future.”

“Nicholas & Larissa were absolutely amazing! So attentive and took great care of our 2 dogs and our cat. Our dogs are not easy and they were taken care of swingingly and were super happy when we got home. Highly recommend!”

“John was so very courteous and kind to help out our family at the last minute due to my mom's hospitalization. He was very understanding of our need to be with my mom, and did a wonderful job of caring for Sherlock, our English Setter, who is such a total couch potato. Turned a stressful experience into an much appreciated family time with my mom.”

“Nicole did a great job housesitting for my dog. She followed instructions well and took great care of my dog. She was communicative and provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. Overall, I was very happy with everything and would definitely rebook and recommend to others.”


“Gabz was awesome to work with. From our first meet and greet to the last message after we are back home from a weekend away Gabz was easy to talk to and very friendly. The pups loved their walks and chill out time with Gabz. Thank you, Gabz for cleaning up Balto’s vomit. Five stars for that!”


“My dog Mila has a new friend :) Molly took great care of her and my home! She asked good questions on our initial walkthrough, and sent frequent updates and photos. I would be happy to hire her again.”

“Emma was fantastic! I literally put in a request the day before needed because my previous booked sitter cancelled at the VERY last minute. Emma was more than gracious with accepting and was the best sit for Blu! I highly recommend her for a dog sit. She provided realtime updates and Blu was very happy with her.”

Brooke was a great cat sitter - very professional, communicative and friendly. She set up a meet and greet beforehand and also came to pick up the keys the day before we left which was easy and convenient for us! She seemed very relaxed and friendly with the cats and also sent very cute updates ☺️ Brooke was wonderful with our cats but a lifesaver for us when we were unexpectedly stranded across the country and needed to coordinate with my sister to pick up the cats. It was such a relief to be able to count on her when it came to an emergency need. We'll definitely seek her out again and recommend her service if you're looking for a sitter!

Anne has been my go-to for watching my senior citizen pup for the last several years - I am moving outside of the DC area and am devastated to lose her as a part of my support team! My pup is 18 and has some special needs, and I have always trusted her to provide excellent care to my boy. My home is well cared for when I am gone, and I return to a happy pup. Grateful for years of ease while I have been out of town!

Jini watched my our dogs for a week and totally put us at ease while we were away! Our dogs are both a little shy/awkward with new people, but they loved Jini and seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Jini provided us with updates and followed instructions we provided. Additionally, she left our apartment in great condition! Would highly recommend her for sitting needs!

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!
