1. Lydia H.


“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”


2. Nicole W.

“Nicole is very reliable and bright. I was out of the country but was able to have a good trip because I know she was taking good care of my 4 babies. I highly recommend her.”


3. Tracy E.


“Tracy took good care of my dog Cooper. A crazy storm came through the area and Tracy did what it took to get to our house even though almost every road was closed. He helped me assess the storm damage to my home as well. I would definitely use him in the future.”


4. Brooklyn P.

“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


5. Anna B.

“Anna is the best! She always takes such good care of not only our little guy, but also our apartment when we’re gone! Zuko loves when she watches him, and we never have to worry while he’s in her care. Thank you Anna!”


6. Whitney W.

“Whitney was great. She provided updates for us regularly and send lots of photos. We also appreciated that she spent much of her stay at the house with Lola. It certainly helped Lola relax while we were away, knowing she wasn't alone.”


7. Jordan R.


“Jordan has watched my baby twice. She’s very considerate and communicative. She takes great care of my pup and my home! Cannot recommend her enough!”


8. Hailey G.
“Hailey is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our pets. She is very warm, friendly and great with pets. We were completely at ease knowing our pet was in Hailey's hands. She is reliable, trustworthy and clearly adores animals. I highly recommend Hailey for all you pet sitting needs.”


9. Mason H.

“Mason was fantastic! There are not enough words to describe the care he provided to our two dogs and cat! We were worried about one of our dogs due to that dog being apprehensive to new people. Mason came over to introduce himself to the dogs and communicated throughout his time housesitting!”


10. Bree B.

“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”


11. Brianna R.

“Very dependable and patient sitter for my moody little pooch!! Great communication with updates and pictures! We look forward to Breanna visiting again!”


12. Yihua H.
“If you need someone who’s great with pets, Eva is the right person, she's super caring, always on time, and treat your pets like their own.”


13. Mary C.


“Mary was absolutely incredible with our senior dog Connie. She followed all the care instructions really well and provided daily updates while we were on vacation. She even offered to stay later to wait for us to board our flight to make sure we were making it home on time in case of any delays or cancellation. She also cleaned up our place, washed the sheets and dishes which we never expect pet sitters to do, but it was amazing to come home late and not having to do laundry. We won’t hesitate to book with Mary again next time we are on vacation”


14. Alydia N.

“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”


15. Stephanie M.

“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She sent us frequent updates while we were away which gave us great peace of mind and she was a great listener with all of the little details of our goofy (and sometimes challenging) dog. She cleaned up after any messes he made and got him a variety of types of exersize as well as making sure he ate his food. She let us know about any problems and asked us how we would like them handled if she hadn't already taken care of it. She even brought a toy for him! Stephanie was such a blessing and we will be inviting her back if we travel in the future.”


16. Sarah S.


“Sarah is absolutely amazing! Our fur babies were so well taken care of and she updated us everyday while we were on vacation!”


17. Natalie E.
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie and I have been a dog lover my entire life! I am 25, a RN, and a newlywed! I have owned 2 basset hounds in my life - Claire, who passed away in 2016, and Mabel, who is currently under the care of my parents, as she didn’t adjust well to the apartment I moved in to. I have dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college, and volunteered at local animal shelters. I am looking to make some extra money in my spare time and get my “doggie fix” since my Mabel isn’t living with me at this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your pups! As a nurse and a wife, my schedule varies, but I’m willing to be flexible and accommodating as long as I’m booked well enough in advance. I will make your pet(s) my number 1 priority. I know from my own personal experience how worrisome it can be to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I hope I am someone who can relieve that worry for you.


18. Jailee F.
“Jailee has been around pets all of her life. She has always enjoyed being around animals. Her help with our 4 dogs have been very helpful. She enjoys playing with them, taking them for walks and enjoys just taking care of them in general. Our dogs enjoy the love and affection she shows them on a daily basis. I can always trust Jailee with the dogs while I'm on vacation.”


19. Sadie J.

“Sadie was great! We will definitely be calling her next time we have to leave town and can’t take our buddy. She communicated well and presented herself professionally.”


20. Jamie B.
“Where to begin? Jamie was WONDERFUL with my four legged child. One week before we were set to go on vacation, our family friend stated that he could no longer watch our bloodhound Annie. This threw me into a panic. Kenneling Annie was not an option, she is a very timid girl and I knew that a kennel environment would be very stressful on her. I reached out to Jamie four days prior to leaving for vacation and she excitedly agreed to watch Annie. Initially Jamie was going to watch Annie at her home. All was well at our initial meet and greet but when it came time to drop Annie off for the week, she got very depressed. She wouldn't eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. She just hunkered down in her cage. Jamie was very concerned and thoughtful, she agreed to transport Annie back to our house and then watch her from there. This was all coordinated while I was 400 miles away. Annie loved this arrangement. She returned to her typical self. Jamie sent me updates and pictures throughout the week putting my mind at ease. My husband at first was hesitant to have a non family member having access to our house all week but my intuition told me that Jamie was TOTALLY trustworthy. And my intuition was right. The next time we go out of town, I will not hesitate to contact Jamie! SHE WAS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!”
