“I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛”

“Celeste's communication while we were away was fantastic! It felt like she really understood how important our pets are to us and kept us updated to date! We came home to happy pets and a clean house.”

“Mariah was absolutely incredible! This was my first time leaving my puppy and she sent so many updates and treated my dog Archer as if he was her own. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner and I will be using her again in the future!”

“Rebecca did an amazing job. She stayed with my girls, took them on walks, and went above and beyond to send me photos and videos of them and keep me updated while I was traveling. They absolutely love her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”

About: I am a natural early riser and have the lifestyle needed to care for animals and prioritize keep them happy and healthy and loved always! I am a recent post-grad working a remote job where I am able and wanting to care for other pups. I am a natural early riser, with a love for being active and fit. I want to walk play and of course, rest as well. As I do not work a typical 9-5 my availability is a lot greater as well for playtime and potty breaks. I have plenty of room in my home and many parks nearby! I make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of, eliminating anything dangerous and adding in anything fun!

About: Growing up, my special needs brother had a service dog that my family and I would care for including training. I taught all of our dogs to be crate trained and to sit on command. I’m currently in college and my schedule can be a bit hectic at times but I always find time to go on a daily walk around the city. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my schedule! Personally, I care for my cat as if he were my son. Seriously he is spoiled. But I care for him as I would care for anyone else’s pet.
“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“Hailey was so amazing with my baby Storm! I had to leave out of town last minute for the 4th of July and she quickly responded to my request! We met up the next day so she could meet Storm and she even brought her a toy 🥹🥹. When I was away she would update me daily and at multiple times throughout the day so I could be at ease. Storm has a lot of attachment anxiety and doesn’t like yo be alone so Hailey was very good about not leaving her! I 100% recommend her and will be rebooking her soon!”

About: Hi, I’m Tseday and I’m a substitute teacher based in Tampa with a gentle, patient approach and a genuine love for animals. Working with kids has taught me how to be attentive, calm, and responsive to different personalities, and I bring that same energy when caring for pets. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood! I have been taking care of pets of my own and those of friends since I was about 13, so believe me when I say I know many different pets have different personalities. I currently have full availability, so I’m able to be flexible with scheduling and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I do not have any allergies to any animal, so I can also provide extra care for any additional pets you may have, ie: birds, fish, lizards, etc. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is being cared for with patience and kindness while you’re away. I’m currently working part time as a substitute teacher with open availability, so I have plenty of time to house sit your pets overnight, or even just for a few hours. I have a lot of open time to walk your dogs, especially during the holidays and summer break! Safety and trust is very important to me, especially if I am taking care of someone else’s pet or fur baby. I don’t have a fear of cats or dogs and I’m a very gentle person. I like to follow routines (if your pets have a set schedule for feeding, medication, and/or walking) so you and your pet can both be happy and have peace of mind!

Alexandra did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two golden retrievers during our 10-day vacation! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent so much time playing with them, keeping them happy, active, and loved. She even asked permission before treating them to pup cups, such a thoughtful and considerate touch! It was clear our dogs were having the best time and were in wonderful hands. We came home to two very happy pups and a stress-free experience. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive house sitter/pet sitter!

Christie is amazing!! She has become a member of our pup’s pack and cared for him like he was her own. She was incredibly respectful of our home and took care of it so well, which we were so grateful for after coming home from a long trip. I would recommend her to ANYONE! If we could give her 10 stars we would!

Top notch here. Keirstin did a fantastic job home-sitting my pup for 4 days. Sent pictures and updates without being asked and left my home in perfect shape. I've had some doozy sitters on this app, but Keirstin sets herself apart. Without a doubt, I hope she is available to watch my pup again.

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!

This is our second time booking with Leah and she is fantastic! She stayed over during our wedding weekend and a few days before one of our little guys hurt his back leg. She kept an eye on him while keeping us updated. Very responsible, great at communicating, left the house clean, 10/10 :)

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia
