“Russell was an excellent sitter in our home for our demanding cat while we were away for 10 days. He sent lots of pictures and asked good questions. It was super clear how much he cared about her well-being and loves animals. We would highly recommend Russell as a pet/house-sitter!”

“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!”

“Nicole was a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed with my senior girl for two weeks while we were on a trip to Europe. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily, which as an anxious dog mom made me feel so much better. She was a perfect house guest and left the apartment clean and well taken care of. I could tell Bella loved her! During her stay, they ran into neighbors/friends/family who all had nothing but great things to say about Nicole and her care for Bella.”

“Nicole is truly the most incredible, responsible, and conscientious cat sitter! I have a very disabled cat that she cares for like her own pet. She’s attentive and incredibly responsive to all messages. She even was able to make a last minute adjustment for me because I was arriving home late. She also left my home spotless. I came home to a very happy, spoiled cat.”

“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!”

“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!”

Anna did a fantastic job watching Bruce! This is the third time she watches him. She sends regular updates, took Bruce on walks and cuddled with him. Bruce loves her. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kira was an absolute angel. My dachshunds can be difficult and I usually only leave them with family but they loved her and she took wonderful care of them both. I cannot recommend her enough especially if you have anxious or reactive dogs. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Camille did an amazing job housesitting and looking after our medium-sized, energetic rescue while we were out of town for almost two weeks. Camille connected with our dog immediately at our meet and greet, they communicated clearly, and were a trusted, safe pair of hands for our pup and house. They navigated our dog's routine with ease, clearly gave her tons of love and attention, and we returned to a house that was cleaner than we left it. Highly recommend working with Camille!

Carter was fantastic! He saved me when I was in a pinch for a sitter last-minute, even coming for a meet and greet with Lady 20 minutes after contacting him. He took extremely good care of Lady and sent proactive updates and photos. I really appreciated that. When I got home, I could tell Lady was healthy and happy - and that was all I could ask for. Would 10/10 book with Carter again!

I can't say enough good things about Lacey. She was kind, flexible, easygoing, and understanding, and she kept me in the loop with prompt, transparent updates the whole time I was away. Most important of all, my pups adored her. When I got home and the pups heard the building door open, they started barking, and every bark was an excited one. They had no idea yet who was coming up the stairs, but they knew they'd be happy to see whoever it was. That told me more about the depth of Lacey's loving care than anything else could have. I recommend her highly and without reservation, and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

James was an incredible dog sitter! Our dog is older and requires specific medications and extra care, and James made sure to attend to every detail. He kept us in constant communication and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and that we were kept informed of any important updates throughout our time away. We highly recommend James as a sitter and would use him again in a heartbeat!
