“I had a great experience with Laura. She came to my place for a few hours and took wonderful care of Zsa Zsa and Scruffy, even with Zsa Zsa’s puppy energy. They were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She was respectful of my home and left everything clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely book again and highly recommend her!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Molly is great with my puppy. She takes good care of her and plays with her. Molly is very responsive. Sends daily updates and pictures. Follows care instructions very well. And is a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend her.”
“Emily was very responsible in caring for our difficult but beloved cat. When there was a problem, she let us know immediately, and was more than willing to try anything to help solve it. Giving him his medications proved to be impossible, but Emily persisted in taking good care of him. She obviously loves animals and is a mature young woman.”
“Kymberlee took good care of my senior dogs, one of which who requires twice daily medication. She communicated well and sent a lot of photos, which I appreciate. House was left in great condition. Thank you for watching our dogs again!”
“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in future!”
“My dog Mila has a new friend :) Molly took great care of her and my home! She asked good questions on our initial walkthrough, and sent frequent updates and photos. I would be happy to hire her again.”
“Karachi did a great job taking care of our dog, Charlie. She was very communicative, accommodated our schedule, and was diligent in giving Charlie his medicine. Charlie really liked her!”
“Our skittish older dog won’t let anyone but us walk her, but on day 1 Shamiso prevailed and she walked happily with her. Very happy to have Shamiso to look after our two (pretty high maintenance) pups while we’re gone - really puts our minds at ease.”
“Fantastic communicator and excellent follow through. My pets both seemed to really love her. Lots of pictures and status updates. When one of my babies wasn’t feeling his best she regularly let me know the status and got him through it. Everything was excellently cared for. Will definitely book again :)”
“Malvika was terrific with Evie and communicative and wonderful with me. We will definitely use her again. She has a deep knowledge of dogs and was attentive and kind. We love her!”
“You will not find a better sitter than Christina. I have had probably 7 dog sitters over the past 5 years and she is hands down the best one. I always get so nervous leaving my dogs, but I hope we never lose Christina...I felt comfortable the entire time. She is incredibly friendly and personable, trustworthy, responsive, and went above and beyond in caring for our home and the dogs. She also helped us without a second thought when our travel plans changed. Our home was emmaculate when we returned and the dogs were actually waiting in her guest room when we got back 😂 I take this to mean they loved her. One of my dogs is very timid and she immediately attached to Christina and other dog took no time to start playing with her. Both signs that they loved her. They don't do that with other sitters. All to say, I can't recommend her enough. She is amazing and we are lucky to have met her! ❤️”
“Nick quickly responded when I reached out. We met ahead of time and he was great with my dog. He sent me daily photos while taking care of my dog. My dog was happy and well cared for while I was away and my house was left in good shape. I will definitely use Nick again.”
“We have two dogs, including one who is wary of new people. Jordan was fantastic corralling and caring for them both. We went out of town for five days and she stayed in our home, sending regular photos and updates. The dogs seemed happier and more calm when we returned than when we left. Would highly recommend. We feel truly lucky to have found such a caring and responsible person to be with our girls.”

We have a very high needs dog with anxiety issues and Sharon not only was able to take the best care of him while we were gone but even became best friends with our pup. She clearly cares about animals and shows it. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her come watch our dog again!
Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!
Once again, a complete and utter stressless vacation with Alex in charge of our senior dog and our place. So many great photos sent and updates given along the way. We couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our special needs boy and our home! Alex is like family now- he even put up with our construction. 💙
Salah did a wonderful job house sitting for us and caring for our two pups! He was extremely responsible and came over before the booking to meet our girls and learn our care instructions in person. He asked thoughtful questions, made sure he understood our dogs’ routines, and even prepared for potential emergencies so he would know exactly what to do if something unexpected happened. Throughout the stay, he kept us updated with plenty of photos, took them on great walks, and made sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in his care and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend! Thank you, Salah!
Jennifer took impeccable care of our beagles Meadow and Biscuit! She was super response/communicative, and we felt like our pups (and home!) were in amazing hands from the get-go. We could not recommend her more, and will absolutely be reaching out in the future when we need a sitter. Thanks so much Jennifer!!
I have a husky that is very outgoing but has a bad case of separation anxiety and Katie knew exactly how to handle it during our house sitting! She was great at depicting his personality and handling him in a situation where a bunch of kids ran up to him to say hi. She kept my place spotless and kept me updated with the perfect amount of cute pictures of my pup! 10/10 would recommend!
