1. Jiahui L.

“We’ve been using Jia for two years now, and I can confidently say she’s amazing—not just with our pups, but overall. It’s incredibly nerve-wracking to find someone you can fully trust in your home while you’re away, but Jia is truly that person. She’s reliable, caring, and absolutely wonderful with our dogs. We’re so grateful to have her!”


2. Sarah A.

“Very satisfied with Sarah’s care. She is very responsive, followed instructions for my dogs well, and my dogs looked happy and well taken care of in the photos she sent. Thanks so much, Sarah!”

“Megan was great with my golden retriever pup Millie! She was on time and communicated everything perfectly. Millie seems to love having her stop in! We will be using Megan again soon!”


4. Isabel H.

“Isabel continues to exceed my expectations with how responsible, caring, and communicative she is. Her genuine enjoyment of my cats and the time she spends playing with them is fantastic for their mental and emotional well-being, which is obvious when I return and they are in such good spirits. She is extremely respectful of my space, responsible, and a fantastic communicator. An easy 5/5 for me.”


5. Dana E.

“Dana was fantastic! She took fabulous care of our 2 dogs and cat, following all instructions to a T and making sure they were well loved in our absence. We look forward to having her help in the future! 🥰”


6. Jackson K.

“Jackson stayed with our dog, Kevin, while we were away for 10 days. He was diligent with making sure Kevin got a walk each visit and we got a cute picture of our obviously happy dog. It was reassuring to know that Kevin was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend Jackson for any pet sitting or dog walking. He was great!”


7. Lauryn D.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs; two playful poodles 🐩 and an energetic Jack Russell 🐕. Caring for and playing with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I’d love to welcome your furry friend into my care! My husband Anthony and I are both athletes who love staying active with walks, jogs, and bike rides; we work hybrid schedules, giving us plenty of flexibility to accommodate your needs, so your pup will always have attention. You can expect your pup to get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, whether on regular walks or at the dog park if they enjoy socializing. I love pet photography; you’ll receive plenty of photo updates so you can see all the fun they’re having. Our apartment has both stairs and elevators for easy access, plus a balcony and nearby greenways, perfect for outdoor adventures!


8. Shannon R.
“Shannon has taken care of our two large dogs, three cats, and five chickens on numerous occasions but she is especially passionate about dogs. If your dogs like snuggles, games, walks, belly rubs, and plenty of attention, Shannon is your person. She is punctual and trustworthy and can do other duties like water plants and check the mail etc. We hire her whenever we leave town for a weekend or for two weeks.”


9. Abigail D.
“Abigail did an awesome job with our older dog! She was always punctual and a good/friendly communicator. Would definitely have her take care of our pets again!”

12. Timothy W.
“There isn’t a pet that has met Tim that isn’t in love with him. He’s good with all dogs of all temperaments and treats his dog like a queen. If you’re able to book Tim, you’re really lucky and your pet will be even luckier!”


13. Katherine B.

“This was the first time Katherine walked my dog. I was out-of-town and I could tell by the photos he was relaxed and happy. I am very pleased with Katherine and recommend her services without reservation.”

18. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer was an excellent caretaker for my cat and provided me with notes and photos daily of all visits. She ensured I came back home to a clean space just like I left it. Definitely recommend her service for your pets needs. She has proven to be a trustworthy sitter for drop in visits and ensuring your needs are met.”


19. Becky G.
