“Maggie had a great time with Alex! He was very attentive, kept me updated and made my very anxious girl relaxed. We will definitely use him again to keep Maggie company!”
2. Jen H.
“Jen was very professional with great communication and updates throughout the stay. It is such a relief to know Henry was well taken care of while I was away!”
3. LianHua L.
“Lian is awesome! My cats are very particular and she has been really patient and sweet with them. She also gives medicine really well, which is great considering one of my cats takes a pharmacy's worth of meds throughout the day. She is also very communicative and sends lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Lian and so do my cats!”
4. Brian G.
“Brian is an exceptional human being with tremendous integrity. We went away for two weeks and left him in charge of our home, our acreage, and our lively young cat. He was simply amazing in every way you wish a house sitter or a pet sitter could be. The phrase “above and beyond” came to our minds over and over while we were on our vacation. Our cat bonded with him deeply. In fact, she walked around the house crying for him in the evenings when we first returned home. She couldn’t figure out where her play buddy went. Brian was a fantastic communicator – – sharing all the ordinary goings-on‘s with the house and our cat, including cute photos and video clips. But he also really stepped up when a harder moment came. A powerful wind storm came through the area while we were away, and Brian did an outstanding job of prepping for a possible power outage— which did not end up happening. He also did a great job of communicating with us about any possible house or tree damage— which luckily also did not happen. What we appreciated most about Brian was his calm, warm, caring, and very-capable demeanor. We feel very blessed to have gotten to know him, and we plan to have him watch over our home and pets for years to come.”
5. Kate O.
“Kate sat for our fussy cat Honey and was very understanding towards her hissy fit attitude. We felt confident in leaving her in Kate’s capable hands. Our house was left spotless and well taken care of. We look forward to planning our next trip away leaving Honey and our home in Kate’s care.”
6. Becky & Christian M.
“Becky took wonderful care of my 2 dogs while we were out for the evening. So nice not to have to worry when we have to go out. We will definitely be using their services in the future!”
7. nicole w.
“Nicole has been amazing with my baby Winston! He can be a bit of a handful, but she handles him with so much patience and care. She makes sure he gets all the exercise he needs, and he absolutely adores her. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I always feel at ease knowing Winston is in her capable hands. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter or walker!”
8. Sondra M.
“Great experience as usual. Sondra is reliable, communicates well and I come home to happy pets. We've used her several times for our dog and cat house sitting needs.”
9. Rosemary K.
“Our pups were well looked after! Schedule was followed snd respected, and clearly the dogs were happy and had a good time from playing and getting loved!”
10. Matt & Tara W.
“Tara was amazing with our dog. She took great care of our house and dog while we were away. She went above and beyond! Would highly recommend her. We will be definitely be having her watch Penny in the future!”
11. Onyinyechi E.
“Onyi is such a wonderful caregiver for my dog Terry, she truly goes above and beyond even when she doesn’t want to. I can’t imagine having anyone else that I trust to look after him the way she does. I’d really recommend her for anyone looking for a dog walker or dog sitter!”
12. Megan P.
“I’d known Megan for years and when I got my dogs Luna and Darla, and they took so well to her whenever she came over. She has watched them several weekends and they love going on walks, playing fetch, and just snuggling up with her on the couch. She’s so warm and caring and my girls hardly bat an eye when I leave them with her now.”
13. Reina B.
“Reina is an extremely sweet person who I would absolutely trust with my fur babies! She is a fellow dog lover that just wants to spend some of her free time walking other people's dogs! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”
14. Rebecca E.
“Rebecca is great. Her calm energy kept my toy poodle puppy feeling happy and secure while I was gone. She gave me regular updates with photos which I greatly appreciated. And, as a neat freak, I also greatly appreciated how she kept everything clean. With her vet tech background I was confident she could handle any situation or emergency. I’ve already booked Rebecca again for a longer trip in December. Highly recommend.”
15. Loreal M.
“I booked Loreal for house sitting and I'm very happy. Loreal was very patient while we calmed down my two dogs. She seemed unfazed by them and they warmed up to her quickly. Because the two dogs were accepting of her, I was able to enjoy my trip without worry.”
16. Cindy C.
“This was the second time Cindy took care of my three dogs while out of town. She does a great job keeping me updated on the dogs and sends photos. I would highly recommend her!”
17. Francis L.
“For as long as I have known Frank he has always been a true animal lover. He has always had 2 to 3 dogs of his own and we have used him to help take care of our two dogs when we were away. He is extremely patient and loving with our dogs. We have two rescues and one of them had a bad life before we got her. She is always wary of people who are not a part of her regular life. Frank always takes the time and patience to make her feel comfortable every time she re-meets him. He has even earned the coveted “kiss” of acceptance from her! Frank takes extra special care to make sure our dogs were exercised and cared for, treating them like his own. We would highly recommend him to any other pet owner.”
18. abby b.
“My sister Abby had watched my dog, midnight, a few times for me and always does an amazing job. She had watched her for me when I went on vacation for a week. My dog was so well taken care of. She took midnight on walks, played some games with her, cuddled with her, made sure she was well fed and always had water and my dog seemed so happy and content when she would send me updates and photos. Abby is a very caring and wonderful animal person. Your pet will be in great hands and well cared for. Abby is the perfect pick for any animal. She will make sure your animal is loved and happy and feel special. I would have her watch my dog all the time even for just a day or to do dog walks. Animals just love her because she so sweet and nice.”
19. Kristen V.
“Followed all our instructions for walks, feeding, and medicine. Sent check-ins, both video and pictures. House was as we left it, overall great sitter and would her again. Thanks a bunch.”
20. Moira R.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs & cats for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care of all breeds of dogs, as well as all ages. Family members, friends, friends of friends, neighbors, and more, have all relied on me to care for the animals, and have been more than satisfied. I currently do not work so I have a lot of free time. I am a full time student but a majority of it is asynchronous so I would only be away for about an hour or two at a time. I do not have a yard or dogs of my own because I am a college student, but where I am currently living has a courtyard with a large dog park in it.
