“Lauren is a dream sitter. There is no one better on the planet! She is gentle, loving, and oh-so-caring with animals. She is conscientious, diligent, professional, efficient, tidy, and dependable. We are beyond grateful to her for her labors of love. Our doggies, Maisy and Pup Pup, already miss her (now that they’re stuck home with just boring ol’ us).”
“Allison did a great job. Let me know how things were going and sent pictures. Keelo seemed calm and relaxed when we got home which is a biggie for her as she gets a bit stressed when we are gone. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Natalie was the best I've had. Everything was easy with her. My babies liked her and she was even able to get Kitty to interact with her. No one has ever been able to do that. I asked her to come back later this month when I have to be away again, but she is booked for those days. Not surprised because I see how good she is. Thank you Natalie. I hope you will be available the next time. Thank you again.”
“Angelina was a wonderful house guest and amazing dog sitter. We have a large shepherd/mal and she did a great job caring for him. He was super happy when we returned home. We will definitely use Angelina anytime we go away!”
“We booked Alaina last minute to house sit and watch our pup and cat. Wallace and Kimchi loved hanging out with her. Alaina was very communicative and we appreciated the photo updates. We returned home to find some happy campers and clean house. We will definitely be booking Alaina again!”
“Overall amazing person! She kept us updated with our dogs all the time. Sent us pictures of them, brought them treats and she was always on time every day for our dogs. She even cleaned our floors and took out trash out for us haha I highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the near future 🙏🏽”
“Sarah is the best!! I wouldn’t want to leave our dog and cat with anyone else. I know she gave them lots of love while we were gone! She kept our house clean and sent me lots of picture updates of our babies. We already have her booked for our next trip!!”
“Robert was exceptional with our two boys while we went on vacation. We have a Belgian Malinois that needs to be ran at the park to get some energy out, and a blue heeler that loves to join in for the fun. He made sure they were well fed, well exercised, and was respectful and clean in our home. Will definitely use him again if it’s needed in the future!”
“We used Sam for the first time while we were out of the country, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs—including our new puppy—and went above and beyond. We received lots of photo updates and messages throughout our trip, which I really appreciate because these are our babies. She was respectful of our home, even offered to water our plants, and we came back to everything spotless. As a sweet surprise, she even left a parting gift with treats and toys for the dogs! It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. I would not hesitate to book Sam again—highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter. 🐾💛”
“Paola was fantastic in taking care of my German Shepherd while I was gone on business for a week. She kept him well fed, and exercised with daily walks and play time. He liked her company so much that he was looking for her even after I was back!”
“I was so nervous leaving my pups for the first time but Jannete put me right at ease when she came. She took care of my babies as if they were her own. I'll definitely be asking her to sit for us again.”
“Redmond was the first sitter I had stay in my home to watch my pets. He made me feel comfortable with knowing he will follow all instructions left to care for my two pets. He went above and beyond just pet sitting. He made sure he left the space he was in better than when he arrived. Thank you, Redmond. I truly appreciate the check in with photos.”
“Torri has stayed with our two dogs several times (for several days each) and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is very attentive to their needs, gives them tons of attention, and of course takes them for rigorous walks which they LOVE. They are always so happy to see him and get lots of good exercise when he is here. He also keeps the house very clean! He communicates really well with me throughout the days he is with the dogs. Torri is so personable and trustworthy, would highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t recommend Tony enough! It was very comforting to have Tony be as thorough and detailed as he was. It was apparent through the effort he put in, that he really does enjoy caring for animals and making sure he does so at the highest level to make sure everyone is comfortable. He does a fantastic job providing updates as well as tons of pictures throughout as well! Tony also was very respectful of my place and made sure to leave it clean and well maintained while I was away. It was great to know that both Ollie and my apartment were left in such great hands. Definitely will be using Tony again in the future!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, growing up with Labs and Rottweilers, which has made me incredibly comfortable and confident with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have been walking dogs and managing their daily care for as long as I can remember, so I truly understand what it takes to keep a pet safe, happy, and exercised. As a caregiver, I pride myself on being exceptionally reliable, punctual, and kind. Communication is incredibly important to me, so you can always expect timely updates, photos, and peace of mind while you are away. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or dedicated companionship while you travel, I’m excited to treat them like a member of my own family! I work part-time as an aquatic supervisor from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings completely open for dedicated pet care. Because of this consistent schedule, I am highly available for afternoon dog walks, dinner-time feedings, and overnight house sitting. I am incredibly punctual and can easily plan my routine around your dog’s specific potty, exercise, and feeding schedules to ensure they stay happy and on track. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and following your exact routine are my top priorities. Growing up with large breeds like Rottweilers and Labs has taught me how to handle dogs confidently and securely. I am completely comfortable following any specific instructions you have, whether that means crating your dog when I leave, administering precise feedings, or letting them out for frequent backyard potty breaks. You can expect constant communication and text updates from me so you always know your pup is safe, secure, and getting plenty of love.
“Another great stay with Connie! Received daily updates and adorable photos throughout my trip. It was reassuring to know everyone was happy and so well-cared for while I was gone - including my house! Thank you, Connie!”
“Kaylee is an outstanding puppy sitter. She’s gracious she’s on time and has excellent communication skills. My dog loves her and I can depend on her. I highly recommend her in the Sacramento area.”
“Fantabulous!!!! Nicole took great care of my pups. When I arrived home, my dogs were more calm then they had ever been before after staying at the local veterinarian for boarding. She effectively communicated with me while I was out of town, which allowed me to focus on enjoying my vacation. I’m definitely going to rebook.”

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Kaylee went above and beyond by coming to meet us before the booking to make sure everyone was a good fit. While we were away, she was incredibly communicative and sent tons of photos and updates, making it so easy to relax knowing our pups were in great hands. She graciously stayed longer than expected without hesitation due to our late travels. She also took amazing care of our plants, going well beyond what we asked, and somehow managed to leave our house even cleaner than we left it! It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable but genuinely thoughtful and caring in every aspect. We came home to happy dogs, thriving plants, and a spotless house. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Kaylee is truly the best! 🐾💛
Christian was great with keeping us updated with photos and info a be out our girl while we were gone, that helped me a LOT- we rarely have the whole family gone and need someone, but I'd 100% be comfortable next time (which is likely to happen a couple times a year!
Torri is amazing, beyond words amazing. Our dog, Lady, just fell in love with him. She was so loved and taken care of while we were gone. We had complete peace! He sent tons of photos and updates, so we knew all was well. He was so respectful of our home and even cleaned before we came home. We love him!!!! We will definitely have him stay with our Lady in the future!
Could not have asked for a better person to become part of the Poole family while she was here. My dogs and home were taken care of just as they were her own. I left happy dogs and came home to happy dogs. Updates were amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to love and care for family. Will definitely be a repeat customer. 💜🐶
I have just returned from Asia after Numa and his lovely family sat my two boys and stayed at my house for 10 days. Having never used a sitter before, I must say i was really reluctant to do so. Numa agreed to look after my bulldogs whilst I was in Japan and Hong Kong. The weekend prior to leaving, I sent Numa an email detailing everything about my gated community, house and, of course, the boys. Numa and Madeleine arrived on the day I was leaving with an extensive check list they had put together, to ensure everyone was comfortable and happy. It made me feel really content - i could instantly see how detailed, caring and thorough they were. In addition, when we did the initial meet and greet one of my boys Archie (who is a typical English bulldog and can be a bit rambunctious when first meeting someone) jumped up and scratched Numa. After we agreed to Numa sitting the boys, he even offered to pick them up prior to my going away and take them to get their nails trimmed - what a lovely gesture (I of course took care of this, but it showed the detail and care he and Madeleine went to prior and during staying at my house). They provided me with daily updates, photos and videos. In every one of them i could tell how happy my boys were - frankly having been back only a few hours I think the boys are rather disappointed it was me coming through the door! This morning I found one of the dogs lying in the room they slept in! I reckon that's their own 5 star rating! Numa and Madeleine are people of the highest integrity, and I could tell how important it was for them that I was comfortable. I can honestly say whilst i was away i had absolutely zero concerns as i knew my boys were being loved and cared for, probably better than I do! It made my important trip all the much easier. I wanted to leave this review as, if like me you needed assistance to look after your dogs but were worried, YOU SHOULD PICK NUMA AND HIS WIFE EVERY TIME! MY only hesitation in leaving this review is that more people want to work with Numa and Madeleine and it might mean they cant take care of Archie and Gus when i next travel :-) Oh and one other thing, when i arrived last night, my house was as clean and tidy as its ever been and Madeleine communicated all the logistics of her departure. I simply couldn't be happier that I met them and would work with them without hesitation! They are welcome at my place any time.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Ann took such amazing care of our pets and our home while we were away. She followed all of my instructions that I typed up perfectly and made us feel completely at ease! She checked in every day with updates and sent the sweetest photos, which made being away so much easier. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive sitter! Thank you Ann!
Rachel was awesome watching our French Bulldog while we were visiting Vegas. We appreciated that she was punctual, but also flexible when we needed her to stay longer. She's great at communicating and sending lots of pictures. She's also mindful and attentive to every little detail.
