1. Christine & Felipe C.

“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”


2. Laura C.

“Laura is amazing!!!”


3. Crystal G.

“Always 5 star service.”


4. LaShanda H.

“Shanda was amazing!! I am so thankful we found her and that she was even available to be with Riggs over Thanksgiving. It’s already so sad to leave him, but we were traveling to Atlanta to see our friends. She took such amazing care of him and was a true professional. Lots of amazing photos and videos. I think Riggs was in a “love drunk” slumber when we returned. So calm, happy, and relaxed when we came through the door. Extra special care was given and we could definitely tell he loved his time with Shanda. He is such a sweetie to begin with, but he was extra sweet that night. Which means he had lots of attention and love. Thank you again!!”


5. Paula L.

“Paula was great! Her communication via text messages was really thorough and I felt really appreciative that she kept me up to date and sent great photos!”




6. Elizabeth W.


“Elizabeth is the best! Great communication, and a great caretaker. We came home to a couple of happy dogs, who seem to love Elizabeth. I will 100% book Elizabeth again, wonderful experience!”


7. Christina L.
“I almost hate to give away my best kept dog sitter secret! Christina is one of the kindest, reliable and responsible sitters you could ever wish to leave your pet with. She has a gentle way with our anxious and reactive dog that settles her down when she's with her. Christina stays in in our home and we trust her explicitly. She came recommended from a high profile friend that she had been a nanny for. You will be thrilled to work with her and so will your fur babies.”


8. Parker H.

“Parker was an excellent caretaker for our older dog while we were away for a long weekend. He came for a meet-and-greet beforehand, took notes and made an effort to make our pup feel comfortable with him. He followed all of our house- and dog-sitting instructions and sent lots of pics while we were away. He was fun, pleasant, and followed through in every way. We’d be happy to book him again.”


9. Kaylee M.

“Lee was amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease to have her take care of my Marley girl which I couldn’t appreciate more! She sent all of the updates a dog mom’s heart desires and Marley had such a good energy when I arrived I could tell she was well taken care of and that’s all we could ever want ♥️ Lee also left the house very well taken care of exactly as we left it! So happy we found Lee and to work with her again in the future!”


10. Misha Z.

“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”


11. Alejandro B.

“Wow! We are so lucky to have found Alejandro. Alejandro took fantastic care of our pet bird (Cockatiel) and energetic dog (Labrador) for almost a full month. This is the longest we have ever been away from our animals and did not feel comfortable bording them for this long. Alejandro stayed in our home during the time we were away which allowed him to care for our furry loved ones while still giving him the flexibility to accept other animal care opportunities that met his schedule. He sent pictures while we were away and communicated with us regularly to ensure our mind was at ease. Upon return, our house was in the same clean and organized shape that we had left it. I highly recommend Alejandro. We hope that he will be able to care for our animals again. :)”


12. Kimberly H.

“Kimberly really gave us peace of mind leaving Gil with a sitter overnight for the first time. He is an anxious and reactive dog but seemed to be at ease for the visit. Would definitely re-book with Kimberly!”


13. Taylor R.

“Taylor did a great job with my 2 cats. They both love attention and were both in great spirits when I returned. Taylor made sure to give plenty of updates with lots of pictures and videos so I knew my cats were happy!”


14. Rosemarie G.

“Rosie was amazing with our dog. She was so kind and caring, even taking him to the vet when he had a need. She kept us updated, sent photos and videos and gave our dog a ton of love. We can’t wait for our next trip so we can book Rosie again, we know our dog will love it too!”


15. Tiffany B.


“Tiffany did an amazing job house sitting my three dogs while I was out of the country for a week. She kept me posted with lots of pictures, made sure my pups got their medications and exercise, watered my plants coordinated group walks with my neighbors and left the house spotless when I got back. My pups instantly loved her when they met her. I highly recommend Tiffany.”


16. Alexandrea S.

“Would highly recommend booking with Lexi! My dog has separation anxiety and she hung out with Scout longer than planned to make sure he wasn’t super anxious by himself. Lexi also showed up early and was super communicative the whole time. Thank you!”


17. Ramajana D.
“Rami was an outstanding caretaker for our dog during a weeklong vacation. She sent us updates while we were away, showing walks and other dog adventures. Our pup was completely happy in her care. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rami was giving our dog top notch treatment.”


18. Shaina S.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since childhood of all shapes and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s providing extra TLC for senior pets with special medical needs or offering fun, positive excitement for puppies. I pride myself on creating a loving, stress-free environment for your pet while you’re away! As I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My day is structured to include regular breaks, so I can ensure your pet gets plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon play session, or just some quiet bonding time, I’m always available to keep your pet happy and comfortable in their own home. In my apartment, I create a safe and comfortable space for pets, even with limited room. I make sure to provide cozy spots for resting and ample time for indoor play and walks outside. Despite the smaller space, I ensure pets have a peaceful environment, while still getting the exercise and attention they need. I adjust activities to fit their needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routine and surroundings, ensuring they feel as comfortable as possible. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, playtime, or medical needs and keep your home secure by locking doors and windows. Trust and safety are my top priorities, and I keep open communication with pet parents to provide updates and peace of mind.


19. Christy B.
“Christy watched my cat for my last work trip. She checked in with me and shared lots of photos each time she stopped by. I know that she fosters and has been a long time cat owner herself, so I felt good knowing my pet was in her care. Highly recommend Christy for your next pet sitting.”


20. Matthew M.

“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”
