“Lisa was great with our little Lexi! She was on time, communicative ( we loved getting the photos) and followed instructions as were previously discussed. Lisa was excellent company for Lexi in our absence. We will definitely invite her back!”
2. Lousine & Araik S.
“Lucy and Araik were great with my old girl. She's always a bit anxious with strangers, but they made sure to give her time to warm up to them. Their communication was amazing and I appreciated the "glamour shot" worthy pictures! They seemed to actually care about my fur baby which is such a welcome relief while we were away. Thank you both!”
3. Janelle L.

9. Paris N.
“Paris might have been a cat in her last life as our cats were drawn to her the moment she walked in the room. It was obvious that she loves cats and our cats loved the affection and attention she gave them. She treated our cats as her own. We felt at ease on our trip knowing that our cats are at home and being treated very well. I would not use any other cat sitter again.”
10. Jennifer K.
“Jen is fantastic and our bulldog just loves her! She was on time, had great communication, and even sent pictures. We highly recommend. Thanks again!!”
11. Ashley G.
About: I’ve pet sat for 3 years and have helped to train puppies for 4 years. I love animals and have always had dogs growing up. I am currently working part time and am looking for something to make extra income. I would love to do this 4-5 days per week. I usually care for pets in their owners home. I offer the best services I can and treat them as if they were my own.
12. Joanna E.
“Joanna was available to watch my 2 dogs (1 adult & 1 puppy) while I had to go on a last minute trip! She would send updates every time she would drop in and never hesitated to ask questions. They both warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you, Joanna!!”
13. Holly S.
“Holly did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for our three dogs. She walked them and gave them the loving attention they need to feel safe. She always kept me informed of when they were fed and how they were doing.”
14. Gustavo L.
“It is with great pleasure to recommend Gustavo as a pet caregiver. He has shown much care for pets, specifically with dogs. He has taken care of my dog, Scarlet many times when I’ve gone on trips or on vacation. He has also covered for many dogs within my neighborhood, offering to walk them around for free. Gustavo has also experienced volunteering at a dog kennel before, where he has made many friends with the dogs. I know he is perfect for this position as he is honest, caring, and a very hard-working person. I wish him the best and hope he has the opportunity to take care of other dogs the same way my dog, Scarlet has!”
15. Emma C.
“Indie is a responsible and empathetic person who has had dogs in her life since she was ten years old. She walks and plays with our golden doodle regularly. On several occasions, she has cared for her while we were out of town for a week. Indie can be firm in handling our dog, but also has a playful side that enjoys doing "zoomies" in the backyard and games of fetch. Maggie loves to snuggle with Indie and seems very calm and relaxed in her presence. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
16. Hilary D.
“Hilary is an animal lover through and through. You can trust that she will take care of your fur babies with the same love and care as if they are her own. I have two dogs that I would not hesitate for Hilary to take of, whether a walk or an overnight in our home.”
17. Kristal S.
“Kristal was amazing and really took her time with my dog, who is not very social. She made him feel very comfortable and gained his trust. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout. We'll definitely be rebooking her for all future dates. She is wonderful!”
18. Christina G.
“We were very happy leaving our dog Enzo with Christina. Enzo had a blast and was very happy when we picked him up! Christina is a very positive and kind person and I would recommend her for your furry friend to stay with her. She took him on daily walks and spent time with Enzo. It gave us a piece of mind to know that our Enzo was happy and we enjoyed our vacation without any worries. Thank you Christina for your special care for Enzo and we would definitely leave him with you again.”
19. Talitha R.
“Talitha was communicative and friendly, our cats were well looked after over the 12 days we were gone”
20. Maya N.
