“Melissa is amazing!!! She took such excellent care of our pup while we were out of town. She took her on many walks and sent photos and updates the entire stay. She also took great care of our place and is super responsive to messages. Highly highly recommend!”
“Our pups loved Emiliana. She watched our pups in our home and sent regular pictures and kept us updated. The house was just as we left it. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Kristen was great and kept us updated especially cause we have a younger dog who is still learning and gets some anxiety. She was very nice and helpful. Thank you again!”
“Vivien was a great and responsible dog/house sitter. She was very responsive from the minute I started communicating with her, and continued to be throughout her stay at our house. She checked in about 1x per day, which let me know that everything was good, but also allowing us to enjoy our trip. We came home to a very clean house, which was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend Vivien and plan to use her again!”
“I went on vacation for a week and Vlad took such great care of my two, rather rambunctious dogs. He put me at ease by sending daily updates on my dogs. I will definitely call on him again!!”
“Felecia was AMAZING and took incredible care of our pup and our home. It was especially helpful to know that over the holidays Poppy was cared for and loved by someone so thoughtful. Thank you again!”
“Nautica did a fantastic job caring for our pups for the weekend! She was very communicative, thoughtful, and caring. The house was so clean and tidy when we got home as well which was an added bonus! Nautica stayed with them over July 4th weekend which was particularly tough for Ruby who is afraid of fireworks. Nautica took such care with the anxiety they were experiencing. Definitely will be working with her again!”
“Chris was beyond the best. He took amazing care of my cat and dog for four days while I was away. I never had a house sitter before so I was slightly nervous in the beginning but it worked out better than I could have ever imagined. Even my cat was hanging out with Chris more than she does with my roommate of two years. Both of my pets are older with some medical issues but Chris gave them the love and attention they needed. I would most definitely use Chris again for any trips in the future.”
“Aidan was great for Bonnie. We had some minor hiccups at the beginning of his stay, but totally understandable now given the circumstance. The house was clean when we got back and she was happy!”
“Averie did a perfect job pet sitting for us! We went on a cruise for two weeks and didn't have to worry about our 100 pound Husky Waylon at all. Averie sent us photos every day of our Waylon and kept him entertained. She fed him twice every day and genuinely cared for Waylon. We all love her now!”
“Mackenzie did such an amazing job watching Cali for multiple days in a row. Very responsive and kept us updated on how Cali was doing throughout our trip. Will definitely book again with Mackenzie!”
“Morgan is wonderful to work with! Very communicative and received regular updates with photos. I know our pup Todd is in good hands with Morgan and I can feel good about leaving town.”

“Andre was great. Came in at the last minute to help us when we had to leave our dog who just had a major surgery. He handled a unique situation very well, making sure all was ok, and that pete got all the meds and care he needed Very impressed. Will definitely book again.”
“I am so happy I found Mary-Ellen! She stayed at my house to watch my dog while I was in Europe for 10 days. I received lots of update photos and communication while I was away. I can tell my dog was well loved and cared for. I would highly recommend her for others & would be happy to use her again personally.”
“Ashlyn was great with my dog! He can be nervous and a little awkward especially around new people but he seemed to love her. I wasn’t constantly worried about what they were doing which allowed me to enjoy my trip more.”
“Stacie is so great with our pups! She takes great care of them and even brought them to her house to play with her furry friends. I’d highly recommend Stacie if you’re looking for a caring compassion person to watch your pups while you’re away!”
“Mitch took great care of Jeff and Xochitl again. We knew they were completely safe with him and he sent us pictures of them. We are so happy when he stays with them!”

Dustin was incredible. She was communicative, responsive and sent updates often. And best of all my cat warmed right up to her! She really helped my shy cat come out of her shell and feel at ease and comfortable, she played with her, brushed her and was just the best. I highly recommend Dustin and I thank her so much!
I would like to personally thank Ivey for taking great care of Cash. He’s a sweet Bernese Mountain Dog puppy with a lot of energy and he can be quite needy at times, but is a very sweet boy. Ivey took great care of him, walked him a lot and went above and beyond to keep him entertained. I would recommend letting Ivey take care of your pets.
Jan did a great job house sitting for us. She was in constant communication and we never felt the dogs were left alone for too long if at all. She was very respectful of our home and helped us travel with peace of mind. You won’t go wrong booking with Jan!!!
Jenny did a phenomenal job with the pups. My pups are normally pretty anxious and pent up when I return home from travel. They weren’t this time. That tells me she really watched them, walked them, helped them with getting their energy out. She also did her laundry and cleaned the house on egress. Would definitely recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a good sitter.
Chelsea was wonderful to work with! Although our trip was unexpectedly canceled last minute and she didn't end up watching our dogs this time, we had a great experience with her during our meet-and-greets. She was professional, communicative, punctual, and took the time to get to know the boys and learn their routines. It was clear how much she cares about animals, and we immediately felt comfortable with her. She was thoughtful, organized, and asked great questions about their care. We have complete confidence in her and are already planning to have her watch the boys in the future. We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
