“Tiaira is amazing and we could not have asked for a better sitter for our two pups. One is special needs and we’ve never left him until now and are so grateful for her care and compassion. I almost don’t want to leave her his review so I can keep her a secret. Definitely recommend her to take care of your beloved pets.”


“Katherine was absolutely incredible in every way. She took care of our home and our four pets with such kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism—it honestly felt like we had left everything in the hands of family. We even had a change of plans, and she was able to accommodate without hesitation. She went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and making sure our pets were happy, safe, and loved. We came home to a house that felt warm and cared for, and pets who were clearly well looked after. Katherine is truly stellar, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.”


“Hope was great! She is passionate about animals and took great care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. She was very responsive, sent great pics, and left the house spotless! Will definitely use again!”


“LaTamarra took incredible care of both my dog and cat as a drop in visit sitter. She came by 2-3 times a day while playing, walking, and feeding both of my fur babies. She sent frequent updates via texts, videos, and pictures. She was very responsible and I felt secure knowing that my pets were in good hands while I traveled. I highly recommend LaTamarra as a pet sitter and am grateful I found her!”


“We’re so lucky to have Katherine as our pet-sitter! Our cat Dooney loves her. We were gone for 2 weeks and had no worries about Dooney, knowing he was well-cared for. The pictures she took of him were very reassuring and better than many of the pics I took of my vacation!”


“Tommy was an amazing last minute life saver! Our initial Rover sitter canceled on us last minute but Tommy was able to step in to cover. He acted quickly to do a meet and greet and watched our Frenchie Peanut for 10 hours while we stepped out to attend a wedding. He was extremely reliable, followed our care instructions to a tee and provided lots of photo updates. He was also kind, friendly and patient with Peanut who is special needs (deaf). Thank you Tommy! We’re excited to book with him again.”


“We had a great experience with Iuliia. She was prompt, sent updates frequently, and was very friendly. Most importantly our dog LOVED her and was at ease around her immediately. We will definitely hire her again in future!”


“Beyond my expectations in every way. Consider yourself lucky to book Corey and Claire. Kind, professional. ON TIME. You can set an alarm to them. I got INSTANT peace of mind. Both amazing. Can not wait to book them again. Senior jingo was in total comforts and was petted and massaged the entire session, until he fell asleep. Greet greet greet!!!10 stars”


“We had the pleasure of having Amanda watch over Jupiter and Artemis during several hours house-sitting, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived, we felt totally at ease knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. Amanda was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with funny and sweet photos, and made sure both dogs were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. It was clear she really connected with them—and they adored her in return! Amanda is warm, reliable, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We’re so grateful for the time she spent with Jupiter and Artemis, and anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets!”


“Cassie took really great care of our puppy and our house during a long holiday weekend. She was very communicative and sent us many updates on how our pup was doing including some hilarious pictures we now cherish. We could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in wonderful caring hands. Strongly recommend her to anyone!”


“Shenelle took such good care of our girl during the holiday! Our dog, Rory, hurt her leg the week before our trip so I wanted to make sure she had good support while we were gone. Shenelle was amazing and sent us pictures and updates. We will be booking with her again!”


“Madeline is our top choice for taking care of our babies. We are so impressed by her and feel like she is an angel sent from up above. Super self sufficient, caring towards our animals, respectful and professional. She’s the best.”


“Chantal was perfect! Went above and beyond to make sure my boy was feeling comfortable. Communicated regularly and even cooked him some sweet potato and rice when his tummy was a little upset. I felt very at ease knowing he was in great, loving hands!”


“Cynthia was fantastic—so easy to communicate with, punctual, and incredibly gentle with my pup. She’s also just so kind and lovely. She took such great care of my pup, you can tell she really loves what she does. Porcini absolutely adored her! I’ll definitely be booking Cynthia again!”


“The first time I hired David last minute (literally within hours of needing him) when I realized that my new foster dog couldn't be left alone in his crate without trying to escape and possibly injure himself. I had a prior commitment for the afternoon and needed someone to just hang out with him, not overnight and not take him for a walk. So it was an odd request. I'd only had the pup two days, so everything was new--he didn't even have a name yet. But he liked David and felt comfortable with him hanging out. So of course when I needed him to be watched again, only hours after the boy was neutered, David came and sat by his bedside when I had to go out for the evening. David sends photos, keeps you updated and most importantly: the pups love him! He got an easy-going, low key energy and I felt like my new foster boy was in great hands.”


“Lorinda took great care of our two high maintenance senior dogs with special needs. She was so throrough, gentle, and careful with our pups. She followed our instructions to the T, provided detailed updates, and left our house super clean. We can't thank her enough. So happy that we have found her. 💖”


“Cayley was a fantastic sitter! She was extremely easy to communicate with, very flexible and friendly and arrived eager to watch our pup. Tcho is an anxious girl and she calmed immediately with Cayley. She was very professional and we would not hesitate to use her again! ”


“Jo was incredible and took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was very responsive and kept us well informed on how our dog was doing. We would definitely have her watch our dog again!”


“Kyle was great! So attentive with Violet, Liza and Hammer. He sent updates and photos and everybody became fast friends so the pups trusted him which is so important. We definitely recommend Kyle!”


“Theresa was so incredibly professional, caring, and had a lot of patience with our newly adopted rescue. Our dog has a lot of specific needs, and Theresa was great and took great care of her. Thanks again!”
