“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”


“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”


“Malek was amazing! Both Xochi and Vinny were well taken care of and the house was left behind immaculate! Xochi and Vinny have found their go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”


“India always takes great care of our pup! She proactively communicates and sends pictures to let us know how things are going. Our dog is always happy and content with her. We’ve used India a few times to house sit and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”


“Duncan was wonderful, very attentive to the unusual needs of our 8 year old GSD, and very helpful with his ball chasing addiction! We highly recommend Duncan. His dog knowledge, love, and attention to their needs is palpable.”


“Review for Paola: Paola took care of our two dogs, Modo and Millie, and our cat, Snap, for 10 days—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, professional, and warm. She took the time to get to know each of our pets’ unique personalities and routines, and it was clear they felt completely at ease with her. Throughout our time away, Paola sent regular updates, including photos and notes that gave us complete peace of mind. Modo and Millie got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and Snap—even though he’s usually a bit reserved—seemed totally relaxed in her care. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a tidy home. Paola went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave our fur family. We would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly thoughtful and dependable sitter.”


“Alissa does a phenomenal job taking care of my senior, special needs dog. It is a challenge and she handles it with grace and professionalism, and clearly loves animals dearly. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy, responsible, caring sitter, even for complex cases like mine. I am so grateful for her help! She also takes immaculate care of the house and is responsive to texts.”


“Jennifer is fantastic! Our pup had an emergency and she handled everything as if Bindi was her own and kept us updated throughout the process. She will be our first call to watch Bindi in the future. 10/10 recommend!”


“My pups can be standoffish with strangers but Cedric walked in and won them over immediately. Cedric helped me out on short notice and on a holiday, and left my place clean and neat. I would definitely have him watch my dogs again.”


“Emily stayed with two of our cats for about a week. She did a great job, and she even won the affections of the cat who is most suspicious of strangers. She communicated well with us, and we came home to a clean space. Would recommend!”


“Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching after our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house with our 2 dogs. One of them is senior and requires a lot of attention. We are lucky to find her to care about our guys. We certainly are looking forward to see her again when we out of town.”


“Ashley did a first-time 5 night housesit for my almost 10 year old lab mix, and she did a great job. She followed my directions and gave me daily updates and photos. She was very responsive through the app. I felt confident my dog was well-cared for and would use her again.”


“Lisa was amazing! Our Zoey is grumpy with new people but warmed right up to her! 10/10 would recommend to anybody. She was professional and communicated clearly with us. She even made sure to send pictures for my boys of the dogs' presents from Santa!”


“Deborah took great care of our sweet and funny Iggy. Iggy was happy, comfortable, and safe with Deb. Deborah was excellent at keeping us posted and sent us lovely pictures of our boy. We could not have asked for a better sitter for our doggie who is old and picky at times.”


“Audrey was great! She was able to help me out last minute, and really seemed to get along with my cat from the very beginning. I automatically felt like I could trust her to take care of Emma like she was her own cat!”


“Just came home from to our senior dog who Dan was house sitting with and found her in great shape and happy, and the house in great condition. Dan was professional, thoughtful and detail oriented. He even washed and refitted the sheets onto the bed that he stayed in during our time away. It was such a relief to know that our girl was well taken care of, given she requires medication four times a day and can get quite nervous when we first leave. He provided updates and photos at the desired intervals (which he made to sure to ask for our preferences on up front- balancing our need for assurance with also not checking in too often), took out our trash and brought in the mail, fed a newly inherited fish that was not part of the original sitting request, etc. We will definitely be reaching out to him the next time we need a sitter.”



“Nzinga was a wonderful companion and caregiver for our German shepherd. She sent us daily reports while we were away, accompanied by good photos of Stella (our canine pal). Despite the rainy weather, Nzinga took Stella out regularly for walks and dried her fur each time they braved the downpours. When we returned, Stella was in great shape and spirits, and our townhouse reflected Nzinga's attention to tidiness. We'll definitely use her services again soon.”


About: I have my own 6 y/o German Shepherd whom I raised since 2 months old which has given me great experience in basic care and training, advanced training (off-leash), and a happy overall happy life for pets. I have been around dogs my entire life and have adored every single one I have met. My passion for dogs and other animals stems from my background in biology and paramedic experience, teaching me compassion and wanting to help/care for others. I currently work in a research lab and am on-site, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, but have flexibility during the day and for the week. I am fully available evenings during the weekdays, and all day on weekends. I strive to create a positive, playful, and passionate environment with your pets. The experience with my own pet has taught me the importance of basic dog care including physical & mental stimulation, respecting dogs' boundaries & space, and even being able to interpret dog body language for different situations. Being an active person, I am all for long walks, jogs and parks with dogs. During care, I can provide as many updates as wanted including photos or video calls. I can be affectionate for those dogs who want pets for hours on, or respectful of dogs who enjoy their space while still being caring and loving to them.

Roberto L.
“Roberto is not just an average pet owner and caregiver, but he is extremely devoted to it. When I had my German Shepherd, Roberto helped me care for him while I was away on several occasions and now that he has had his own German Shepherd for 5 years, I can see the day to day dedication and love. Roberto spent numerous hours in training with his puppy and it has all paid off, his dog is so well behaved and loved. Roberto is patient and always doing research on the best food, best treats, latest dog behavior research and training. He truly gives his 100% to everything he does. I will certainly be using Roberto's services for pet sitting and day to day recommendation once I have another puppy. I highly recommend him!”

Lily was a fantastic sitter for Ella. Ells seemed to take to Lily pretty quickly, and Lily was not shy to provide constant updates on how Ella was doing, including pictures when she walked her, which was often. I would absolutely ask Lily to watch Ella again in the future.
