Rosemary did SUCH a good job with house- & dog-sitting my pup in my apartment. Her attention to detail with the care instructions I gave, and how well she accommodated lots of instructions for a higher-maintenance dog, gave me so much peace of mind as I was out of town. I'll be booking her again when I'm traveling next! Thank you!!

Kelly took absolutely stellar care of my cat Ophie and my apartment while I was out of town for two weeks. She was incredibly flexible, communicative and accommodating (I even needed to extend my trip two times at the last minute). Most importantly, she worked true magic with my cat, who is usually very standoffish with anyone other than myself and tends to shut down if I go away for any amount of time due to separation anxiety. After just a few days Ophie was letting Kelly brush her and hanging out in the main room, going about her usual routine. By the end of the trip she was actually hanging out with Kelly on the couch!! I've genuinely never seen her so at ease with anyone other than myself in all 11 years of her life. I couldn't be happier with the service Kelly provided. It's one thing to know you pet is being taken good care of while you're away. It's an entirely different matter to know that they're actually enjoying themselves too! Kelly was able to give me that peace of mind and I couldn't be more grateful. I returned from my trip to a spotless apartment and a very happy kitty. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time I need to go out of town! Thanks Kelly!!

She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.

Becca was great! so good with Luna, when i came home, i think she was hoping to see her again, will definitely, hire again! Such a great experience vs. kennels where is seems more impersonal and the little dogs literally get the short end of the stick.

Sophia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and dog overnight! My dog is scared of new people but Sophia went above and beyond to meet her twice before staying over. Zena warmed up to her after a bit so I appreciate Sophia’s patience with her! Now Zena’s looking forward to her next play date! Thank you!

Elizabeth was great! My dog took to her right away. It was my first time leaving my dog at home without me, and she can get very anxious about change. The weekend went off without a hitch.

Rochelle is a great pet sitter and caregiver for your animals! She is a personal friend and we have brought our dogs to her house many times to play. She is a very active person who loves playing fetch, going on hikes, and to dog parks. We were away on a two week vacation and asked Rochelle if she would take care of our dogs while away. Rochelle sent many pictures and video updates. They were very well cared for. The dogs were very happy during their stay and had so much fun! We came home to two very happy, healthy, and tired dogs from all of the adventures they had while away. I would highly recommend Rochelle for any pet sitting needs and know your animals will be well taken care of!

About: I just retired & have lots of time on my hands. I enjoy pets & have reliable transportation to get where I need to go. It’s a good fit because I just retired June 7th and I believe pet sitting will work for me. I’m really an active retiree, but I can make it work. I can’t watch peoples pets at my apartment, but I can watch peoples pets at their home. I can walk your pets and spend time with them.

Danny is great! He often comes by my house to watch my dog when i'm out of town or having a long day at work and i trust him completely with my dog Gus. He always sends photos of the dog looking so happy, and i know he's going the extra mile and getting in a game of fetch or tug with the dog every time he pops by. I've worked with him professionally as well and I can confirm that he is responsible, timely, and an all around great guy. Nobody loves dogs and cats more than Danny!

Rachel was amazing! She helped with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend, and both dogs (and our cat) loved her and were so excited to see her. She stayed in communication with us the entire weekend and sent great pictures with updates. She followed all the instructions we left. Both dogs have terrible separation anxiety, but they didn’t seem to miss a beat while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!

Third times a charm! Amber is our go to first choice for watching our pup and house when we go out of town. Now that her and my pup Cleo are friends, Cleo gets so excited to see Amber come through the door. As always she took great care of our pup, sent tons of pictures, washed sheets, and left the house very clean! We will continue to request her time & again 😎

Jordan was awesome! She came by for a meet and greet prior to our trip, and she communicated with me each day to give a report. We came home to 3 calm, happy and well cared-for pets as well as a clean house! Having Jordan stay with our pets gave us comfort and allowed us to have a completely stress-free time away! I highly recommend Jordan C - outstanding pet sitter!

JP was amazing. She took great care of our little dog. She communicated with us throughout our time away sending pictures of our dog. Abbey, our little chihuahua, actually seemed to miss her when we were back home. That says a lot! We would not hesitate to recommend Jp, and will book her again in the future.

Katelyn has house sat and dog sat for me multiple times and is always someone I can trust while I’m away. I have two big labs and two French bulldogs that can be a handful, but Katelyn always takes great care of them and my house! It always looks super clean when I come back, which is always nice after being away.
