“Emily was such a wonderful house/dog-sitter for our middle-aged anxious pup! She read all of our (extensive, detailed) instructions, asked us good questions, and then did a wonderful job updating us on how our dog was doing while we were gone. She was highly communicative, friendly, and respectful and we look forward to booking her again!”

“Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!”

“Allison was fantastic! This was our first time booking with her and she kept our place in perfect condition, was super thoughtful in making sure it was clean when we came back and our pup loved his time with her.

7. Lindsey Z.
“Lindsey was great! To begin with, she was flexible and understanding when our travel plans changed last minute. She was punctual, communicative, and followed all of our feeding/potty break guidelines. Patches was calm and comfortable around her, which allowed us to enjoy our time out of town. She also left our apartment very clean. Would highly recommend!”
8. Carol K.
“10/10 would recommend! It can be a hit or miss finding a reliable sitter. I was sad when my old pet sitter moved away but then I found Carol! First and foremost Carol obviously cares about the well-being and comfort of your pets. She checks off all my boxes of what I look for in a sitter and it also helps that she sends cute updates and pics throughout the day. When I got home my place was as I left it and most importantly my dog and two cats were calm, as if I never left. I would definitely recommend Carol and I look forward to (hopefully) using her in the future!”
9. Marshe P.
