“Rachael was a wonderful dog and house sitter! She gave regular updates and left my apartment extremely clean and tidy. I felt at ease while on vacation abroad knowing that my pup was well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie is a great communicator, very responsive and took lots of pics of Finn. She also took great care of our home. Would definitely book again.”
“Jocabet was exceptional! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was punctual, thoughtful and took great care of our dog, Teddie. She kept us updated throughout her stay at our house with lots of photos and videos and made sure Teddie was well exercised as she is an active breed and left the house very tidy and clean when I returned. We’d absolutely love to have Jocabet watch Teddie again! Thank you so much!”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Gabrielle is a perfect dog/house sitter. She is communicative, leaves my home as it was found, and makes my (shy) dog feel very comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend Gabrielle to any dog parent :)”
“Rakia took great care of my two dogs. I have a special needs dog (all the anxieties/reactivity) and she managed her meds and needs perfectly. I highly recommend Rakia!”
About: Hi! I’m Mariah (or Riah). While I previously offered pet boarding in my home, I have transitioned to offering exclusive house sitting services. This allows your beloved pups or feline friends to stay in the comfort and security of their own environment while receiving my full attention. Because I work remotely, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My 'office' is wherever your pets are! This means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, midday play sessions, and plenty of desk-side snuggles. I stick closely to your pet's existing schedule for feeding and walks to ensure their routine stays exactly as it is when you’re home. I’m very affectionate and love to baby animals. I respect your space and their space. I look forward to helping you keep your pet happy, healthy, and well-cared for!
About: Experienced with pets of all walks: puppies needing training (I can keep up your methods or try new ones) to elderly pups with medication schedules. Currently, I am free Monday and Thursday during the day before 3pm. On Tuesdays, I’m only available after 2pm. Wednesdays and Fridays, anytime after 10am. I follow all instructions left by the pet owner and take care to set any alarms or reminders I might need. I care for all pets as though they are my own and give them the care I would want someone to give to my pets.
“Once again, our pup had a great time with Christina! Christina communicated throughout the house stay -- asking good questions and providing some great pictures of playtime. Thank you, Christina!”
“Our bulldog went straight to Moni wagging her tail. I knew it was a great match. Our cat is pretty standoff and took to her as if she was part of the family. Moni took great care with our two babies. We will definitely be booking her in the future.”
“Affrata was excellent house sitting our two dogs, Rocco and Maggie over the Christmas holiday! She gave us daily updates with pictures of them on walks and hanging out around the house. Affrata also made sure Maggie got her daily medicine and kept Maggie's face clean of schnauzer eye goopies. Affrata was an excellent sitter and we'd love to have her back again to watch Rocco and Maggie if she'd be available”
“My two dogs loved being cared for by Missy! They are a bit big and can be nervous when out on the street, but felt comfortable under her care. Missy was also great about sending updates and pictures each day. Thanks again!!”
“Asha did a wonderful job with our dog, Daisy! She sent lots of photos, kept us up to date, and took great care of our home. We’re very grateful for her help over the holidays and definitely would ask her to watch Daisy again!”
“Gabby is a kind, reliable sitter who went above and beyond for my anxious pup. She went out of her way to help make sure my dog was comfortable with her before petsitting. She was in touch the entire time I was away and sent many photos. I would absolutely hire Gabby again.”
“Kevin was excellent. He communicated clearly, kept me updated, and took thoughtful care of my dogs for a house sitting visit while I traveled for work — especially of my senior, who needs extra attention. Definitely appreciated his reliability and kindness and will book again if his calendar allows”
“She was so nice and took great care of my dog. My dog sometimes is timid among strangers but Heidy made the experience much better and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. 🌸🌸 10/10 recommend.”
“Karachi was great! She watched our exuberant 2 year old, 50 pound dog Luna for a week; she was reliable, dependable, and took great care of our girl. She sent us pics every day and told us how Luna was doing. She went the extra mile to come and meet with Luna before we left so Luna would be more familiar with her. She is very responsive; always answered texts immediately and kept us apprised of things. She was a perfect guest; the house was in immaculate condition when we came home. I would definitely hire her again to watch our dog. Luna seemed happy and she got the walks she needed. Karachi is a mature, poised, caring and dependable dog sitter.”
“Alex was amazing with our senior dog. Marvin has both mental and physical issues and Alex was able to earn his trust. He was very respectful of our home, even taking out the trash and emptying the dishwasher. Alex also sent plenty of updates and pictures that kept my anxiety at Bay. We will be using Alex as much as possible!”

Jocabet is absolutely wonderful! She took such fantastic care of Luna while we were away. What really stood out was how she kept us updated throughout - she sent videos and pictures that showed Luna was happy, well-cared for, and having a great time. Luna was clearly in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have Jocabet watch her again. Highly recommend!
Mariya was excellent housesitting for our two cats. She was extremely communicative, responsive, and reliable. I knew after an initial video call that she was trustworthy and responsible. When we returned home, our apartment was spotless and our boys were happy and well taken care of. I would 100% book Mariya again. Strongly recommend!
Monica is an amazing pet sitter. The dog was happy. The house was clean. She followed all the instructions provided. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of adorable pictures of our dog playing and snuggling. Our dog isn't the easiest and takes a while to warm up to new people. Monica did a great job gaining her trust and making sure they had a good week while we were away. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.
If you're looking for peace of mind when you are away and can't take your non-human family member, look no further. Alex is really wonderful. He's a smart, caring well informed guy who will "get" the nuances of your baby's needs and behaviors and is truly interested in knowing this and being responsive to them. My 7 year old Lab had never been left with anyone but a family member and Alex was the perfect substitute ! Happy to chat with you as well if you a verbal reference !
Gio was great with our pup! He loved her from the first meeting. She was communicative and kept us posted on how things were going while we were away. She was also very respectful of our home and went above and beyond taking care of her laundry and the spaces she used! Would absolutely use Gio again and recommend her for pet sitting!
Candace was exceptional! She took wonderful care of our dog, followed all of our care instructions closely, and communicated with us throughout our trip. She also left our house in perfect shape and went above and beyond to sort mail and leave things looking great. Most importantly, our dog was loved and cared for while we were traveling. We hope to book Candace again in the future and highly recommend her!
Jason is fantastic! He sent lots of pictures and funny updates. He knows dogs well and cared for Cheeni like she was one of his own dogs (he has 2!). Knowing that her routine was being followed and that Jason understood her quirks and habits gave me such peace of mind while I was away! Highly recommend!!!!
Angela was great! She came to take care of our kitties on Christmas Eve when we had to leave suddenly because of a death in the family. We got updates and pictures throughout our time away and it was a comfort knowing they were being well taken care of during a very difficult time. Would definitely recommend her!
Corinne took great care of our sweet Ralphie. She was pleasant in every exchange and left our house very clean and organized. Ralphie was very happy when we returned home but we could tell that he missed his new friend! Many thanks to Corinne for her kindness and care. We hope to host her again in the near future.
Matt was amazing. He took care of my two dogs for a week over winter break and it was such a relief to know that they were in such caring and competent hands. He sent pictures everyday and provided updates on how everything was going. He was also incredibly gracious with requests from me while I was away. I would trust him to take care of my dogs again in a heartbeat!
Tiffany was an excellent house and pet sitter. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so things can get a little chaotic but Tiffany handled everything no problem. She even gave our dog ear drops to handle an ear infection! Tiffany was communicative, friendly, and professional and left our apartment in perfect condition.
