“Mona was an absolute AMAZING dog sitter for our 2 dogs. She was very attentive to her needs and gave us a lot of updates through the day. I felt so at ease knowing our dogs were taken care of by her. She’s absolutely wonderful and we’ll definitely book her again!😊”

“Highly recommend Aimee! She is so kind. Our dog is sensitive. Aimee did a couple meet and greets with us and was super flexible to fit his needs. She was so communicative while we were out of town. We plan to hire her again for all our dog care needs!”

“Justin did great with my 13 year old blind and deaf Shih Tzu. Because of my fur baby’s condition, he has special needs to make sure he stays safe and secure. Justin was attentive to his needs, provided me with regular updates, and was very communicative with scheduling and coordination.”

“Elaine was phenomenal with our boys for the week!! She spent the week in our home with our boys, was very tuned in to their personalities, sent lots of updates and pictures which we so appreciated! We highly recommend and thank you, Elaine!!”

“Ashurina was amazing with my little guy, she spent the night with him, took him for walks, kept me updated throughout the day. She was very friendly and punctual. I will not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family. Thank once again for being a great pet sitter. It is much appreciated”

“Rhondee is fantastic and trustworthy! She is very respectful of our house and property. She always arrived on time and followed through on everything we asked. House was left in the same condition as when we left. Dogs and cat were well-cared for; we were delighted with our choice in Rhondee. She did great by us. Certainly reasonable; did not take advantage of the holidays for house sitting.”

“My gosh what a wonderful young lady she took the most beautiful care of my animals and my home. Erika is a wonderful selection as a house sitter. I will absolutely hire her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own chihuahua since I was 12, but since moving to the US I couldn’t have any pets at home due to family member’s preference, I would love to have the chance to care for other people’s dogs! I’m currently staying at home growing my small business, and I have taekwondo classes every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm. On my free days I’m able to commit to caring for pets, but will not be available from 6PM onwards. I love being around dogs very much, and really love taking care of them, I’m very hands on with my past chihuahuas and love cuddling them so much.
“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”

“Desiree did an amazing job looking after our little guy. She met with us prior to watching him in our home and eased his nerves. We look forward to working with Desiree again.”

“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”

“Samira took great care of our 14 year old dog with health problems, and our home while we were away on vacation. She is thoughtful and responsible. Will book with her again.”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter since childhood with 6 dogs of my own. I also have a bit of a dog whispering ability as well I am currently pursuing a music career but as I am building it up, I have plenty of free time to care for your pets I have a large living area and backyard, I have six dogs and they are very friendly, I can adjust accordingly to fit your preference
“Georgia was fantastic with our Belle. She kept her exercised, played with her, and kept her happy. She even stated working with her to keep her more calm when Belle sees other dogs on her walks. I highly recommend Georgia.”

“Kimberly is the real deal! She is very intuitive, caring and understanding of my super senior dog needs. I appreciate her patience and attentiveness in helping Buddy be comfortable. So glad we connected!”
