“Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

“Sarah is an amazing sitter. She is very responsive and caring. Very reliable. We will continue to book with sarah as long as she has availability. Thank you sarah!”

“Hieu and Anna were so amazing to our huskies while we were gone. One of our pups was newly adopted and needed extra love and encouragement and they were able to provide that! They provided many updates throughout the day giving me piece of mind that they were living the best life with their aunties 😁 We're so grateful for them!”

“Dana is an amazing sitter. She provided updates throughout the day which was nice to see how our jeter was doing. She made sure he was exercised even in rainy weather. Definitely would recommend and will hire again in the future.”

“We hired Lisa for a last-minute trip to visit family, and she was a fantastic housesitter. From the start, she put us at ease and we felt confident our two cats would be well cared for. She was super communicative, sent frequent photo updates, and was flexible with our changing plans. When it looked like our dog care might fall through, she was even willing to step in and help with her too. Lisa went above and beyond - she assured us she’d check in on the cats again if anything came up with our travels, and we came home to an impeccably clean house. She even washed the sheets, which made coming home that much better. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!”

“Oriana was fabulous when staying in our home and taking care of our 12 year old Havanese. First, she offered to do a meet and greet in person before our vacation. Then while we were away for 10 days, she sent daily photo updates and was extremely responsive. She left our house in even cleaner condition than it was when she arrived, and was even thoughtful enough to replace the milk in our refrigerator. Would love to have her again and highly recommend Oriana!”

“Tara did an excellent job caring for our two senior dogs. They both take medication and she followed the directions exactly, making sure they both got what they needed and on time. She also sent us lots of videos and photos which was super helpful. We were gone for 3 weeks and we were able to relax knowing that our dogs were in good hands. I think she actually took better care of them than we do. Don't hesitate to book Tara for your next trip, especially if you have special needs or older dogs. Communication was great and she left the house in good shape for our return. I recommend Tara without reservation and I would definitely book her again for our next trip.”

“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”

“Camila and Anthony are special people. I booked them to housesit for my 16 year old dog while I recovered from knee surgery. It was an unusual situation for everyone because I was home. It took some getting used to but we all adjusted. They were kind, considerate, and loving to my dog. And I really appreciated their creative problem solving when the dog was stubborn and wouldn’t eat or take his meds.”

“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”

“Cat was incredible watching our two dogs! She was patient and attentive with our nervous dog, and made us feel comfortable while on our trip by checking in and sharing plenty of photos.”

“Jackson sat for our dog over Spring Break for a week and took excellent care of him. My dog ordinarily is suspicious of men and keeps his guard up for quite a while before he trusts a male visitor to our house. But Jackson is a true dog whisperer, because they were playing tug o war and fetch within 10 minutes of their first meeting! Jackson left our home in great condition and was polite and communicative throughout. We appreciated receiving photos and videos during the week that provided peace of mind. Would definitely recommend this responsible and lovely young man.”

“Eric was fantastic! Our dog Leo is usually very nervous around tall males, and Eric, being a taller male, remained very patient and calm as Leo tried to bark him away. In a short amount of time he warmed right up to Eric's calm demeanor. He house/dog sit for two weeks while we went away for our wedding and he provided daily updates with pictures for our furry friend, which were always nice, even if Leo had a tougher day(when he did, we were confident Eric could handle those stickier situations). He also kept our plants alive, a feat we can barely accomplish! From day 1 we felt confident that he would be able to handle any issue that came up, and he brought us great peace of mind, which allowed us to focus on our wedding and honeymoon. He followed instructions to the T, and didn't have any questions for us while keeping Leo's routine. We would highly recommend him! In fact we are looking to book him again for some upcoming weddings early next year!”


“Veronica did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She was professional, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. She provided regular updates and photos.I couldn’t have asked for better care—thank you, Veronica!”

“Ajia is amazing! We utilized her as a house sitter for the first time. She was very responsive, our dog (who can be timid at times) loved her and she was very clean and respectful of our space. Highly recommend.”

“Kellie is an excellent pet sitter. She is reliable and responsive. She took great care of our two dogs for two weeks. This was our first time with Kellie and we plan to request her help in the future.”

“David was great! We had a wonderful experience. He took care of my dogs for 10 days and did a fabulous job. He took them for walks, played with them, put them to bed and made sure they got their meals on time. My boys were happy when I got home. I can highly recommend David!”

Thank you to Anna and Hieu for once again taking such good care of our two dogs. It is great having the peace of mind knowing they are well cared for when we are away. I would highly recommend them as sitters to anyone. Our dogs love them and my husband and I appreciate the daily updates and photos.

Stephanie was wonderful with our puppy, Galleta. She stayed our pup for various days over the last two weeks and was always loving, playful, and attentive. Galleta clearly enjoyed spending time with her. Stephanie was punctual, communicative, and sent great updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind. She was reliable and easy to coordinate with, and we would happily have her watch Galleta again. We definitely recommend her! 🐶

Mike stayed with Buddy for an extended period of time with short notice. He did an excellent job taking care of Buddy and my dwelling. He communicated any change with my dog ,sent pictures and ensured he was healthy and happy. Will be hiring him in the future. Would recommend to everyone.
Tara did a great job watching my two collies Bruce and Rusty. She communicated and sent pictures daily. This was their first time with a sitter so I was a little nervous initially, but everything went great. There were no issues throughout the 5 days and they both seemed to really take to her. I highly recommend Tara and would not hesitate to book her again if the need arises.

This was our first time using rover and Lauren was amazing. She is so kind and obviously loves animals. She stayed at our house with our senior dog, Bob. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were gone. He clearly loved his time with her.

Kaiya and Charles did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They sent detailed updates and photos of our dogs while we were out of town. They were very respectful with our home and took excellent care of our house while we were out of town. 100 percent will rebook if we need a dog sitter again!
Lana took wonderful care of our three cats. All of them absolutely loved her and she was great at communicating with us and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay. She was also an amazing houseguest and went totally above and beyond by taking great care of our place. We felt so comfortable with her taking care of our babies while she was away and would definitely recommend her.

Bryan was amazing, took the best care of my doggies. Lots of updates and photos. It was a huge relief knowing the dogs were in good hands abs well cared for. Bryson also took great care of my apartment and even cleaned up. Super impressed and will absolutely book him again

Alan did an absolutely amazing job sitting with our dogs for a week! Great communication with daily updates and pictures, with running commentary on what he and the dogs were doing and how it was going. Strongest recommendation for Alan Bernstein! Many thanks!
Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our 18 year old dog Diamond who needs special care and patience due to her age. Shannon took care of Diamond for 5 days, followed our instructions, gave her numerous meds, special food and took her on long and short walks as needed and on schedule. Shannon left the condo in great order. We are very happy and Diamond was very relaxed when we returned today. Will hire Shannon again and we recommend her to others, especially those with older dogs.
