“Elise stayed at my place for five days to watch my cat. She was very responsive to my questions throughout my trip. She also came by beforehand to meet my cat who is usually shy but he quickly warmed up to her. She took good care of him and left my place very clean. Would happily recommend her!”

“Rachel did a great job with my spoiled cat Bella and was respectful and conscientous with my home. I found Bella well adjusted and taken care of as if I never left her presence. Rachel is a very kind and caring pet lover. She kept sent pics and kept me up to date. Appreciated her help and would have her pet sit Bella again in a heartbeat.”

“Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!”

“Anthony took great care of our pup. He was super punctual and understanding of our schedule. He made sure she was fed, properly cared for, and happy. He sent updates. Would definitely rebook.”

“Amanda took wonderful care of our little scaredy cat! She was thoughtful, kind, and very communicative throughout the entire process. Thank you, Amanda!!”

“Dominique is honestly the best ❤️, extremely communicative and highly dependable. My dog would probably betray me for her if given the choice, super thankful to have found someone that cares about Finn as much as I do.”

“Anna did a great job watching my dog and two cats. They were all happy and healthy when I returned, and I was reassured by the thorough updates I got while away.”

“Quanece and Malik did such a great job watching our dog penny! Since we moved to Philly we had barely left, due to not having a trusted dog sitter. They took amazing care of our dog, left us multiple updates a day, and they left our house absolutely immaculate. We already have them scheduled for another trip this month and will continue to be repeat customers!”

“Alondra is amazing with tobes. She really takes care of him like her own. I love that tobes is so relaxed when I am back. She provides updates often and I appreciate that very much. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“Darina kept me at ease with pics and updates on my little kitties! And I could see the the little ones definitely liked her a lot. Will definitely be reaching out to her again very soon!”

“Tina was an absolutely amazing sitter and kept us up to date with lots of photos and updates. The dogs seemed to have a great time with her and the house was clean and neat when we came home.”

“Oliver is a top-notch dog sitter! He absolutely exceeded our expectations when it came to the level of dedication he provided for our dog, Jaxson. Jax has special needs and requires some extra levels of care. Specifically, he requires oral medication and a specific routine. Oliver was committed to following Jaxson's care requirements and made sure we were confident that we were leaving him in good hands. Not only did he provide amazing care, but he also exceeded our expectations when it came to communication. He left a kind note welcoming us home and letting us know how Jaxson's day had gone. He also left the house in perfect, tidy condition. Oliver is kind, smart, prepared, dedicated, and everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter. 10/10, I would recommend him to anyone, anytime! Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of our buddy! We hope to see you soon!”

“Shakira was a kind and thoughtful sitter for my 4-year-old Pit Bull mix. She came the day prior to meet my dog, ask questions, and did everything as asked on the day-of. She also helped me out a lot as this was a last-minute request. All in all, Shakira is a great dog sitter and highly recommended!”

“Areana did a great job watching all three of our senior dogs in our home. We needed a sitter for an overnight on short notice and Areana was communicative and responsive and a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again soon!”
“Megan was attentive to my pups, managing to ensure there were no issues while I was away. The house was left spotless and we will 100% use her again. My dogs were so much happier than when they have been boarded!”

“Danielle was such a big help to us during our week-long engagement trip! After our dog was injured at his old boarding facility we wanted to find someone who could stay and help him feel comfortable at home. Even though our dog is nervous meeting new people, Danielle did just that! She sent daily check in photos, was very responsive to our messages, and eased all our worries while we were away. She also left the house organized and spotless. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“Rajat came through when our friend canceled on us last minute. He was wonderful. Made time to come out and meet the dogs quickly and was very communicative about his arrival and what was happening with our dogs once he got in. He took great care of our pups and our house. We would highly recommend Raj and definitely ask him to dog sit again!”

“Booked Isabella for a last minute trip and she took great care of my 13 year old dog and left my home just as she found it. I loved that she sent lots of pictures and videos keeping me up to date..highly recommend!”

Joseph took great care of Felix while I was away. He followed instructions, sent updates, and I could tell Felix was comfortable and well looked after. It gave me real peace of mind during my trip out of the country — thank you again for keeping him happy and safe!

Stop reading other profiles and no need to send out 17 booking requests. William is THE ONE. He wrote me back in literally 90 seconds and came through for us super last minute when we had a late in the game change to our international travel plans. Our dog loved him so much that he was using William as a pillow. William was exactly on time for our meet and greet and gave just the right amount of updates. He changed the sheets on the bed for the next sitter and confirmed that the keys were in the lockbox. We’ll be booking him again without a doubt.

Darien was on time on Sunday, even with a time change and that's key when you have to catch a train to NYC. He played with Bubbles and took him on long walks and knew they'd be fine because he made time in advance the prior week on his own time to come by and meet him! The photos he took and sent told me the story. Bubbles was nearly as comfortable hanging out and going walking on a beautiful fall day with Darien as he would have been with me and that helped me enjoy my day in NYC. Thank you Darien!

Chelsea was wonderful! She took such great care of my two pups while I was out of town. She arrived right on time, sent lots of photo updates, and was super easy to communicate with. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for the whole time. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Oliver is amazing! We had a meet and greet before we booked his stay so he could meet our dogs, and they loved him immediately. He asked a lot of good questions about their routines and personalities, and even asked me to email him a copy of the info packet we keep for all of our sitters so he could read through it ahead of time. During his stay he was very communicative and sent pictures and updates regularly. Our girls had a great time with him and we will definitely be booking with Oliver again!
Raechelle and her daughter watched my dog Alley overnight. They fed her, gave her pills, took her for walks and texted me pictures. Alley was in great shape when I got home and I will definitely use Raechelle again. She's friendly, responsible, communicates well, and clearly loves pets. 5 stars!
Stephanie was amazing with Birdie. She was incredibly responsive throughout the stay and easily took care of any difficulties that arose. We could tell that Birdie loved Stephanie by the end of the stay, which made us very happy. She was also very thoughtful and considerate staying in our apartment!

Anna is fantastic. She took great care of both my little dog, Puff, and my house. When I got home, the dog was happy and the house was perfect. She went above and beyond in giving Puff a flea bath when he unexpectedly picked up fleas from doggie daycare (!) while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate trust Anna with Puff again!
