“Consistently amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times to take care of my floof. She is so good with my cute and anxious cat and always has great communication with me during the time she’s caring for my kitty.”
5. Aurora J.
“I cannot thank Aurora enough for taking such great care of my two cats for 10 days while I was away on vacation. I knew Aurora was the perfect fit for my kitties from the moment she came over for a meet and greet. They were immediately drawn to her. I knew I didn’t have to worry about going away on vacation while Aurora was looking after them. She was in constant contact with me throughout her daily drop-in visits, sent me photos of my cats during every visit and ask me questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She left my house in the same condition as when I left for vacation. She is 100% reliable and I will definitely use her again. You should too.”

9. Cecelia P.
“After meeting with Ceceilia and introducing her to our puppy, My husband immediately felt comfortable having her check in on our 13 week old puppy Guinness and knew she was going to take great care of him while we were out. After her first visit she sent pictures and our pup looked so happy! This makes me happy too! We are so glad we found such a kind and caring sitter. Definitely will be booking more visits! Thank you Ceceilia!”
10. Patrick L.
“I travel alot for business in my new position and knowing that, I had debating finding a better home for my one year old dog. A friend of mine recommended Patrick to care for my dog while I was away. She has used him for years and had nothing but great things to say about him. We'll a few days later, he came by my house fir an "interview" and have him meet my dog to see how they would get along. OMG, you would've thought that MY dog USED TO BE Patrick's dog !! They instantly bonded with Pat's natural ability to blend with my dogs personality !! It was like they were old friends !! My dog gets so excited to see him whenever he comes by and he exercises him and plays with him aside from the usual things that you pay a dog sitter to do !! Patrick is Great at What he does and I trust him 100% not only with my Lucky but to be in my home when I'm away. It could not have worked out better for everyone; Lucky remains my loyal dog and in my house and Pat is trustworthy, dependable and my dogs second best friend !! I can't thank my friend enough fir recommending Pat to me to take care of Lucky whenever I have to travel for work !!”
11. Jason C.
“If you are looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, Jason is the right choice. Our dog, Leon, always feels comfortable and enjoys his walks and stays at Jason's place! He treats Leon like his own dog and is very patient and understanding. Jason is also a super reliable and quick communicator. If there are any questions about any instructions for care or drop-off, he is quick to respond! Additionally, he is great with sending photos and video updates throughout the day to let us know what Leon is up to as well! I would highly recommend Jason as a dogsitter and will continue to rebook whenever we are away:)”

18. Arin P.
About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and have cared for dogs of all ages with a wide variety of needs. I am experienced with dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sorts as well as cats, fish, tarantulas, birds, guinea pigs, and lizards. I currently work full time on a flexible schedule and am able to work remotely most days for at least half the day. My normal workday is from 10-6. I prefer to meet your pet where they are at and only use crates if that is what they are used to and comfortable with. I also always walk dogs with a leash and harness and prioritize safety. I will only let them off leash inside the home or at a fenced dog park with your approval.
19. Brittany L.
“I used Brittany to care for my cats and I’m always happy with the extra TLC she gives them. Going away can be stressful, but it’s so much easier when you know your furbabies are in good hands. Definitely recommend!”
20. Sarah Z.
“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”
