“Jessica was very professional and thoughtful with our two cats and one dog! She sent many pictures and updates and my pets definitely showed their true selves to her! Will definitely book her again!”

“Caleb loooked after our 7-month old Golden Retriver puppy and pet rabbit for 4 days and did a fantastic job! He spent tons of quality time with the animals (lots of walks and time playing outside for the puppy, and pets for the bunny) the house was spotless when we returned home. We would recommend Caleb and will certainly look to book him again when we have a need for a house sitter!”

“This was our second time booking Melissa to housesit for our reactive dog, Toji. She followed our instructions, kept us updated, and clearly cares. We’ll continue to have her watch Toji when we go away.”

“Lucy the dog was so relaxed and exhausted after her stay with Lisa, she didn’t even wake up when I walked through the door! Lisa was a fabulous dog sitter for Lucy and was very patient with all the needs and quirks of my elderly girl. I can’t thank her enough for all the TLC she showed both for the dog and for the house while I was away! Cannot recommend Lisa highly enough.”

“We booked with Riah for the first time this past weekend, Friday- Monday. She stayed in our home with our rambunctious puppy and sassy senior dogs and connected with them both immediately. She provided updates and communicated with us well, most importantly giving us such peace of mind while we were out. We will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
“This was the first time that I left my cats with a non family member. Kathleen did a great job asking thoughtful questions, approaching the cats gently and communicating with me while I was gone. Everything was tidy upon my return and the cats were well cared for.”

“Henry and Ted had another fun time with Mandy. Our boys are always well cared for, loved, and excited to see her. Always reliable and trustworthy.”

“Karen communicates well, always leaves my place clean, and keeps my dog Reese happy while I'm away! She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure he is cared for.”

“I would give Julie more stars if I could! My senior dog, Wolfie, was in the safest hands ever and I didn’t have to worry about him at all. Julie and Wolfie are now bonded for life and I will definitely be calling on her to house- and dog sit when I go on my next trip! Plus, the house was in better condition than when I left it! Thank you, SJ!!”

“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”

“Margaret was so communicative, thoughtful and kind. I’ve never felt so at ease leaving my dog before! AND left the place impeccably clean. Would 1000% rebook. Thank you Margaret!!!”

“Anna has watched our cat several times and this time we asked her to house-sit so our dog could stay home too. Her love for animals is infectious and I wasn’t worried about either pet for a moment while we were out of town! Anna is the best!!”

“Quinn did an excellent job watching my doggo Kanna. They were really responsive and I appreciated the lovely photos they sent. Kanna got to go on a really long walk at a local park which she surely loved. Quinn super exceeded my expectations in all areas and I'm grateful they could watch kanna for her first time in a new house while I was away.”

“Thomas is awesome! He came over to meet our dogs before booking to make sure it was a good fit. He is communicative, friendly, great with the dogs, and gave great updates while we were gone. Our dogs love him and we hope to have him back!”


“Leo adores Chelsea! I know she is one of his favorite people. She left the house cleaner than when she arrived and took such care of Leo and my house. I would recommend her to anyone! She is gem.”

“Uliana was great sitting our two large dogs for the week while we were traveling. She sent regular updates, and left our home sparkling clean, which was really nice to return to after traveling. I would recommend uliana.”

“Elizabeth took incredible care of our boys!! So much love, patience and attention - also lots of photos and videos too! Hope she can take care of them again soon - know that our pups will love it and we’ll be relaxed during our time away!”

“Adrian was a wonderful companion to Kiska during our trip! He sent great updates and took him on long walks every morning. Kiska is an anxious boy but Adrian had a very gentle energy and handled Kiska really well. Our home was left in great condition. Our other Rover cancelled last minute and Adrian was able to come for a meet and greet right away and is clearly very capable with animals. Would definitely hire Adrian again!”

Judy did fabulously with our very different dogs. Marge who tends to be a bit more wary with strangers immediately felt comfortable with Judy. Smyth who is a lover to all and especially those who give him cookies adored her as well. This was longest we were away and both dogs while excited to see us seemed like they were well adjusted to the routine with Judy. Overall a wonderful experience with lots of pictures and videos of our dogs throughout our vacation.

Mackenzie was absolutely amazing with our dog Hank! She was extremely thorough and detail oriented about his care. I received daily pictures, video and text updates while we were away. The whole experience was above and beyond. We will be booking with her again!!

Will was an absolutely fantastic sitter! He was reliable, an excellent communicator, and took wonderful care of both our pets and our home during his four-night stay. He took our dog on two walks every day and made daily trips to the dog park so she could run after the ball and play with other dogs. He also made sure our cat was eating well, which can sometimes be challenging, and kept her litter box clean. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and cat, and our house was left in perfect condition. We are so happy with Will’s care and would absolutely have him stay with our pets again. Highly recommend!
Noah is an incredible pet sitter, and I feel extremely lucky to have someone I trust with all three of my dogs. They each have very different personalities and needs, and caring for three dogs is no small task, but Noah handles them all with so much patience and care. Casper in particular can be a difficult dog to win over, and I’ve been really happy to see how much more comfortable and trusting he becomes with Noah every time. That means a lot to me because I know Casper doesn’t give that trust to just anyone. Noah is reliable, communicative, attentive, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I rely on him a lot, and being able to leave town knowing that all three of them are in good hands gives me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.

Emily was an amazing sitter an eleven day in home sit! She connected with my pets right away and made sure to send me pics throughout the sit to let me know they were having a blast together. I returned to well cared for pets and a spotless flat! Would definitely book Emily again!

Eliane watched my 2 cats for a week and she was great! One of my cats had to unexpectedly get teeth removed before my trip so I was concerned about his pain. Eliane keep him on a schedule with his pain meds and made me feel comfortable about leaving them and didn't bat an eye when I spam texted lol. She left my house better than I left it AND brought in my mail. She's a gem and I can't recommend her enough.

Nora was great with my two dogs for a last minute booking! I'm usually pretty anxious about a new sitter while I'm out for long, but Nora did a great job sending updates and I could tell they were very comfortable with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy babies, will definitely book in the future.

Caleb took care of our dog when we had to take a last minute trip. She had medical needs and we were anxious about having to leave her. Caleb made this feel easy, he took excellent care of her and she was in good spirits when we returned. We are happy we found Caleb!

Jessica is wonderful about communicating both before and during her stay with my dog. I’m pretty sure my girl is a bit sad when I get home! Jessica is so loving and attentive and aware with Ellie the whole stay! I know my dog and my house are safe when I am away.
