“Norbert did a great job, first by saving us with an unexpected last minute booking. He even accommodated our tight timetable. When he arrived he asked good questions and he kept us up to date during our trip with photos and notes. Special kudos for going above and beyond. We definitely recommend him.”
“We had a great experience with Tory watching our 2-year-old rescue yellow lab. She was attentive, communicated quickly, sent lots of pictures and updates, and left the house in great order. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
“Angelica was great with our large, high-energy dog. She was in constant communication with us throughout the weekend, and took our dog on multiple long walks throughout the day. She is so nice and someone you want to leave your dog with! We will definitely book again, she took great care of our dog!!!”
“Roxanne was a pleasure to have house-sit/dog-sit and care for our dog, Lola. She was an excellent communicator, prompt, sent plenty of photos (giving us peace of mind and seeing how comfortable our dog was with her). We would highly recommend Roxanne.”
“We’ve been searching for years for a reliable dogsitter and house sitter and we are so thankful that we found Marisa this year! She has stayed with our dogs several times this year and it makes traveling so much easier and less stressful knowing that she is at our home taking such great care of our pups! We love getting her daily updates and pictures and our dogs always look so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Marisa is truly incredible with our dogs — she makes our anxious dog feel comfortable and has such a calming energy that she’s even able to get her out of her comfort zone. She also takes such amazing care of our senior pup, gives him his meds, and makes sure to give him plenty of attention and love. And without even asking her to do this, she leaves our home spotless, sometimes I think it’s even cleaner than how we left it! Marisa is truly the greatest and we are beyond grateful to have found her! We’ll continue to use Marisa anytime we go out of town!”
“Taylor saved the day by taking a last-minute booking request (in the middle of having floors replaced in the house). It was chaotic to say the least, but she was very flexible, communicative, and took great care of the dogs. I was given regular updates the whole time.”
“Angela was wonderful in every way possible. She was responsive to my communications with her. Her communication with me before and during the sit was excellent. She sent tons of pictures and it was clear that she treated my dogs as if they were her own. Can't recommend Angela enough!”
“This is the 2nd time Joanna has stayed with our dog for over a week while on vacation! She loves on and takes care of our dog like she were her own! I highly recommend entrusting your pets to Joanna- she is a gem and we love her! <3”
“Mary went above and beyond. We are recent empty nesters so this was a first time for me, leaving my dog and house in the care of a stranger, and it couldn’t have gone better. I told her upfront that over-communication was probably going to work best for me and she made sure I always knew how Duke was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my home and Duke were being well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Truly grateful to have found someone I can call on again on our next travel.”
“Nico's watched our energetic boxers a couple of times before but this time he stayed at our home for 3 weeks. Dogs thought they were on vacation too as they got a lot more exercise and attention than normal life. Very thankful for his attention to the dogs and helpful with small things around the house while we were gone. Recommend him to others for single day/walks or longer term sitting.”
“Melanie was a huge help. Having a dog with anxiety it’s hard to know who should care for Blaze. Melanie gave her outside time, treats and rubs and we came home to a very happy dog! ( a first!). It was so nice knowing our pup was well cared for . Melanie communicated well, was on time, answered any questions I had as a new dog parent and understood our dog’s needs. Thank you Melanie! We would love to have her over again.”
“This is the third time Paz has taken care of my little, crazy chihuahua. She always does a great job, and puts up with all his bad habits. She is someone I can trust, and will use again.”
“Julia is fantastic. She routinely took our dog on hour plus walks and took great care of him and our cat. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter as she is very kind, great with animals and very respectful and responsible. Thanks Julia!”
About: I am a very reliable, patient, I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. I have had animals in my life since age 5 Personally, I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, so minimum supervision is required. I currently work full time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups ! I'm available on weekends, and weekdays after 5pm I am very respectful of others homes when I am watching their animals. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I do my best to communicate with owners on the needs of the animal
“Tina was amazing with our little Snowy! Her communication was great, as she sent us daily pictures and updates. She also left our house sparkling clean. I could tell that Snowy was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Tina :-)”
“Zoe is attentive, thoughtful, and a calming presence! She took notes, promptly gave meds, and left all of us (humans and animals) feeling relaxed! I am more excited for the warm weather knowing our three pets will have excellent care (including our dog with anxiety and epilepsy)!!”
“Amanda did a great job with Bella and was professional throughout the experience! I found Bella and my home well taken care of and would recommend Amanda or have her sit Bella again.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job watching our two small dogs and caring for our home while we were away on a month-long vacation. She kept everything running smoothly—watering plants, bringing in the mail, and making sure the house stayed in great shape. She kept us updated with messages and photos of the dogs, which gave us real peace of mind. Everything was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were clearly well cared for. I’d happily use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet and house sitter.”

We had a great experience with Tory watching our 2-year-old rescue yellow lab. She was attentive, communicated quickly, sent lots of pictures and updates, and left the house in great order. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for. We would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!
WOW!! is all we can say. Allison quickly answered our request and worked with us to set up a meeting. The house sitting went very smoothly. Our original booking was suppose to end on Sunday however due to the snow storm our flight got canceled. She was able to accommodate the change for another day. We made it half way home before the second part of our flight was cancelled and yet again she was flexible to change the booking again. We honestly do not know what we would have done without her. She was an amazing person to work with and will be added to my list of house sitters we will look for in the future.
Charlene was terrific. She came for a meet-and-greet and stayed with our Westie, Piper, on short notice, over a long weekend while we were away. Everything was perfect. She was very attentive to Piper, took her for walks, sent many photos and videos, and asked good questions for clarification to make sure she followed our usual routine. She also left the house in pristine condition. We can recommend her without reservation.
This is the first time I have left Stella with anyone besides family, and Ashley was amazing. Stella stayed with Ashley in her home for 10 days while I took a family trip overseas. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. She took care of Stella like she was her own dog giving her lots of love and attention. Ashely was very accommodating , allowing us to pick her up late when our flight was delayed. She also groomed her daily, and had her looking great at pickup. I would definitely recommend her services and would use her again.
Gunnar was great! We were relieved to find someone who was comfortable with our two Newfoundland dogs. They are low maintenance this time of year but it takes a certain person to see past the slobber and hair to the gentle giants they are. Gunnar came to meet the dogs and see our house before our trip. He checked in regularly and proactively communicated with us while we were out of town. We would absolutely book with Gunnar again if the opportunity arises! Thank you, Gunnar!
Tommy stayed at our home and watched our 1 year old puppy, Ralph, for 4 days / 3 nights in July. Ralph loved him from the start - which made us feel better about leaving him for the long weekend. Tommy communicated well throughout the booking process, and arrived right on time. He kept us updated on Ralph during our vacation, and never left us hanging. We came back to a clean home, and a happy and healthy pup. Ralph isn’t easy - he requires a lot of attention, playtime, and even to be carried up the stairs right now - not a single complaint from our sitter! We would highly recommend Tommy for any of your house and dog sitting needs.
Hannah was great. She arrived on time for our meet-and-greet and for the stay itself, asked good questions when I forgot to give her certain information, sent photos, and took excellent care of our Westie, Piper. She is responsible and serious about following care instructions but she also has a sunny, upbeat disposition and was enthusiastic about spending time with Piper. We came home to a happy pup and a clean home.
I’m always cautious when hiring a new sitter. Sara responded to my initial questions promptly. As soon as she walked in, Sara immediately engaged with the pups. Asked relevant questions about care. Sara gave a 10 minute heads up when on the way, kept our puppies active and safe Flexible , professional and always upbeat and optimistic
