“Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.”
“Michaela stayed with our Lab for three days, and she was wonderful all around. She was prompt and extremely communicative (and shared lots of pics). She walked our dog frequently, and when he created a couple of issues (ha), she handled it great, kept us in the loop, and went above and beyond with cleaning up (laundry, dishes, etc) and generally left the place looking nicer than before she arrived : ). I would absolutely recommend Michaela!”
“Erica has quickly become our big guy’s new best friend! She is great with our pups, filling their high needs of love and attention, and sends regular updates while we’re away.”
“Jessica was fantastic with our dog and two cats. Her dog Ernie is a sweetheart and fit right in with the crew. She was great at communicating and sent lots of fun updates. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”
“Jasmin was great with our dog Maya! She is a very active dog and Jasmin made sure she got all the activity she needed. Also sent a lot of pictures while we were away which we always love.”
“Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“I cannot recommend Zhanna highly enough! She took exceptional care of Bella, my 15.5-year-old corgi. She went above and beyond to ensure Bella felt safe, happy, and loved. Her kindness and attention to detail were evident from the moment we met, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about her job. Bella’s unique needs were met with the utmost care, and I appreciated how Zhanna was thorough in following instructions. She also communicated well, giving me peace of mind while staying at my place because she sent daily pictures of my corgi. I would 100% use Zhanna again, so if you're looking for a pet sitter, especially one who will stay overnight with your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Zhanna!!!”
“Tom is so communicative with great updates and photos of our dog. He also seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Lincoln, going above and beyond. I highly recommend!”
“Megan was fantastic with our cats. She sent great updates and photos and we were confident that they were being well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
“Clair was a great dog sitter for Stella while I was out of town. She provided consistent updates and was very flexible when I had last-minute changes to my trip schedule.”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Christina was so good with Bella, my German Shepherd Dog!! Bella is very protecive and can be very wary of new people, but she just loved Chrisitina from the very first moment they met!! I had another sitter booked with another service and they just dropped off without warning or notice. So I was able to book with Christina even though it was very short notice with zero uncharge!! The house was in great shape and Bella was so very happy and well cared for! I will be using her again for sure!!”
“Delaney was so great with our girls! She communicated daily, sent updates and photos! She was tidy with our home and reached out when we she had questions. We will definitely schedule again with Delaney! ⭐️”
“Eric was a hero! We found him last minute after a mix-up with our planned sitter. He was immediately responsive, thoughtful and proactive in meeting. He took great care of our pup and was in communication throughout. I would definitely hire him again and was so grateful to find him.”
“Cindy was wonderful!! She took great care of my dogs and was very communicative- she asked questions when needed, sent photos of the pups, and left the house extremely clean! I would highly recommend Cindy!!”
“Evangelene is amazing. She clearly loves animals and is so kind and caring. I’m am not sure our senior rescue greyhound even noticed we were gone. I highly recommend Evangelene. I felt completely confident our baby was well cared for. She went above and beyond!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Aesha was absolutely amazing. From the initial meet-and-greet, our dogs fell in love and I could tell she cared from all the right questions she asked. We'd never done house sitting before and were gone for 10 days so I was a bit nervous but Aesha put us right at ease. We received plenty of updates and so many great photos — I could tell our dogs were so comfortable with her. As if that wasn't all great enough, we came back late from a long flight to an absolutely SPOTLESS house! We highly recommend Aesha, and we'll definitely be reaching out to her next time we have to go out of town!
Evangelene watched our elderly pup and 2 younger pups for 5 nights. The older one needs a bit of extra help and she was so kind to him. We were SO comfortable with her staying in our home and she provided so many great updates with how happy our pups were. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable. Highly recommend her!!
Brianna was amazing. She house sat our two dogs while we were gone on an extended trip and made sure to check in with us and let us know how our dogs were doing. She was very accommodating with our schedule and left the house in tidy condition, not to mention—the dogs adore her. We will definitely be using her again!
Dena was a fantastic sitter for my two senior kitties. She was very professional and courteous from the start, and gave my deaf kitty and my skittish kitty all the patience and love I could have hoped for while we are away. My cat needs daily meds, and she took on that responsibility with ease. I got daily updates/ videos too ❤️ highly recommend!
Victoria was fantastic. She stayed with our elderly, sweet and very bossy border collie for four nights and took the best care of him. Throughout the entire time she provided us with lots of updates and photos and was extremely quick to reply if we ever checked in. Kramer normally is pretty mad at us when we get back from a trip, but this time it seemed like he was the one who got a little doggie vacation! We highly recommend Victoria!
I had a wonderful experience with Erica! She had excellent communication from start to finish and kept me updated the entire time. She took such great care of both my dog and my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated her reliability and attentiveness, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Ellen was great! … she stayed with Jackson at my house for a long weekend - he’s just a puppy and she took amazing care of him, understanding he was still a puppy and needed some extra time and attention ! and she was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire time, she sent regular engaging updates with pictures and took such good care of my pup … 5 star service- an amazing experience …
Serine was able to stay longer at our house than planned because we couldn't get home due to the snow and ice storm on Jan 25th. Her boyfriend even shoveled our rather long driveway--our taxi from the airport didn't want to go down our snowy one-lane street. We were so grateful that we could reassure him that our driveway was cleared. The storm was quite the disaster accompanied by extremely low temperatures. Serine kept our house and cats safe and warm. She was flexible and helpful in times of trouble. We will definitely use her again! Thank you!
