1. Summar L.

“Summar was great with my foster dog with separation distress on a day I needed to go to the office. She conducted a meeting the day before to meet the dog and go over the routine and any other things she should know. The day of the pet sitting, everything went smoothly. She followed the routine and sent updates with great pictures. I highly recommend Summar because she is passionate about pets, is customer oriented, and I could tell that my foster dog had made a new friend!”


2. Mark N.

“Mark was very attentive and caring towards my two dogs during a weekend trip. He easily managed their routine and won the heart of my very anxious chihuahua. Highly recommend!”


3. Carol K.

“Carol took extra special care of my pup who is a few weeks post surgery. She made me felt at ease being far away from my pup. So grateful for her knowledge of how to attend to her needs, give meds and walk in short increments. Would highly recommend Carol to all friends and family.”


4. Carolina R.

“Carolina was just awesome! She was caring and kind to all the pups. She took extra care for the smallest pup who is very sensitive. She is responsible, responsive, very reliable and great communication skills. The pups were very comfortable with her right away as they can sense a warm caring animal lover. I felt super comfortable with her taking excellent care and being present for them. She stayed with them and I super appreciate all her time and effort to make everyone comfortable and cozy. Great Big Thank You Carolina!”


5. Katelyn C.

“Katelyn was so great with our senior dog! She was patient with her special needs and gave so many updates. Aside from taking great care of our dog, she left our apartment so clean and tidy! We would definitely have her back any time we’re out of town!”


6. Karachi O.


“Karachi took excellent care of our dogs and home. She jumped to our rescue when our flight was delayed and stayed an extra night. Highly recommended.”


7. Nicole T.

“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”


8. Renee W.

“Renee was wonderful with my pup and cat. She adapted without a problem when Truffle got an injury right before we left and suddenly had to take medications that he usually doesn’t have to use. Renee was able to get him to take the meds without a problem and keep him comfortable. It was obvious that our pets were well taken care of and Renee stayed well beyond the scheduled time to be present when we arrived.”


9. Erin H.

“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”


10. Julia N.

“Julia did an absolutely wonderful job house/pet sitting my 2 dogs while i was overseas. She was very thorough asking questions about the dogs care, was punctual and responsible, and left the house spotless. Felt very comfortable leaving her with the dogs, and would 100% book again.”


11. Vanessa K.

“Vanessa was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of our pup Mac, keeping him happy and well-looked after. She was reliable, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout her time with him. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was when I returned. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”


12. Elizabeth L.

“Elizabeth was so great & easy to work with when we booked her a little last minute to watch our dog. She was super responsive, flexible, and took great care of our Winnie!”


13. Zoe F.


“Zoe was absolutely wonderful! Immediately when our pups did a meet and greet with her, they felt comfortable and at ease with her. Both of our pups can be a bit nervous around new people so this was impressive! She communicated and sent photos often during the trip and it was clear our pups were enjoying their time with her. The house was left clean and she even brought our packages inside for us. We look forward to booking with Zoe again!”


14. Aly S.

“Aly was fantastic! She watched my 5 month old puppy (and my home) for 5 days. She was super communicative with updates and pictures, and I can tell my dog had a great time! Bonus - the house was spotless when I got home. I would absolutely book Aly as a pet/house sitter again!”


15. Trisha D.

“Trisha was great. I had to leave town and immediately offered to stay and take care of Vinicius. She even cooked for him! Vincius cannot eat process food. She also sent pictures of Vincius walking around the park. I strongly recommend Trisha as dog sitter!!”


16. Chenoah S.

“Chenoah took exceptional care of Ella. She arrived on time and checked in, kept the place super clean and even stayed extra time before checking out. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Ella so I knew that my baby was being well cared for during my trip. I recommend her enthusiastically and plan to use her again. Chenoah, Thank you from Ella and I.”


17. Seth R.
“Seth stayed at our house with our dog for over a week and was wonderful. He played with our dog outside each day and loved him up. He was respectful, courteous and reliable. Our house was clean when we returned and our dog was well cared for the entire time. We would hire Seth again in an instant. I highly recommend Seth for pet care.”


18. Shelby L.

19. Karly L.
“Karly has watched our dog, Ham, multiple times now, and we always know we can count on her to take care of Ham! She is very prompt, kind, and listens to, understands, and fulfills all of our dog’s needs. Karly also has great communication and gives updates (and sends really cute photos) throughout the sit! She is also a considerate house guest and is really respectful of our space when she is there alone. We highly recommend her to everyone! I can tell Ham really loves her too.”


20. Lilibet K.

“Lilibet was highly communicative with questions and updates via text and she clearly provided a lot of affection and cuddles for two very needy dogs and took them on walks with photo updates. Left out apt very clean.”
