“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.”

“It was a pleasure to have Mandy come stay in my home and watch my lil Yorkie. My doggo as so happy and well cared for and my home was left in perfect condition. I very much appreciated Mandy often communication, made me able to relax while I away. Thank You Mandy!”

“Lisa was great! She took excellent care of our dogs and gave us regular updates. We felt confident leaving our dogs and our house in Lisa’s care and will definitely work with her again.”

“Jessica housesit for us for a week and provided us daily updates and lots of photos of our pets. We have a dog and two cats. She seemed to connect well with our pets, and we felt like she gave them lots of attention and play while we were away. She was responsive and communicative. She left the house clean. Thank you very much, Jessica!”

“Allison did an amazing job watching for our dogs, who are starting to get old. Our bigger dog (husky/malamute mix), has bad separation anxiety and reactivity and she had no problems giving medication and taking care of him. Both of our dogs have high energy and she did a fantastic job taking them out. She also did a great job taking care of our house while sitting for the week we were gone. Very friendly and understanding, highly recommend!”

“We feel so lucky to have had Sofia stay at our home and care for our pets. She did a truly wonderful job. The animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved, and we came home to a house that was spotless and beautifully cared for. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away, and her communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and kind. It made the whole experience completely stress-free. Sofia is responsible, trustworthy, and has a natural way with animals. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house care.”

“Once again Anna was amazing! Our dog loves her and so do we!! They spent the day together as we were out and about. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you!”

“Melissa was fantastic! She took care of my dog and cat for two weeks. I always feel nervous especially in the beginning of trip. With Melissa I felt very easy from the get-go. My pets were warmed up with her kind persona. She sent me videos and photos for update. I know my Coton de Tuléar is high maintenance for brushing, but Melissa did a great job. She was very responsible, caring and loving. I will book her again.”

“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.”

“We’ve had Adrian housesit for our 2 cats and new puppy twice over the past few months and both times Adrian was communicative throughout the stay, let us know about any potential issues proactively (pet not eating much, etc.), and just overall made us feel super safe leaving our pets—who don’t quite get along with each other yet—in someone else’s hands. We were especially grateful to Adrian for watching our puppy and keeping up with her house training and training in general, and we’ll definitely be repeat customers for as long as possible.”


“Emily was great with our Rosie. Rosie can be a little shy at first, but she settled in quickly and it was clear Emily knows how to care for a dog. We got great updates and communication throughout the day. We would recommend Emily, and would definitely use her services again.”

“Stacey was great! She is a very prompt responder and very professional, sending helpful updates at least twice a day. She did great with our large, shy dog, who can sometimes be weird around new people. She left the house very clean and left a lovely note. Thanks again Stacey!”

“This is the first time that Natalie has taken care of my kitties and I'd definitely have her back. Fabulous communicator - kitties and house in great shape upon my return.”

“Meagan was fantastic! She shared daily updates about our senior cat, Pinot, along with pictures and videos. She also took excellent care of our house while we were away.”

“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!!!”

“Beth was amazing! She was very good with my senior dog who can be difficult due to her medications and behaviors. She regularly updated me and sent photos while I was away, which I really appreciated. She also kept my home very clean! I would definitely recommend her to pet sit!”

“Noah was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He was reliable, communicative, and treated my dog with so much genuine care and attention. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear my pup felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I couldn’t recommend Noah more highly!”

Anna was absolutely amazing, especially caring for our senior dog Tobi. She was extremely patient with him and his eating habits and made sure he was as comfortable as he could be. He skills in handling a senior pet were unmatched. I appreciated her protectiveness and constant updates/photos. Phoebe also adored her. With her anxiety, Anna brought her much comfort while we were away. Anna was also very tidy and respectful of our space. I would rebook her in. Heartbeat!

Catherine was great! She was responsive, sent updates each day, and took great care of our doggos. She followed instructions with detail and made sure the dogs received lots of snuggles, walks, playing, and care! She also took care of our home and kept in clean, opting to clean the sheets and towels upon leaving!

We had such a great experience with her! She sent us multiple pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated, and was great about checking in and keeping us updated. Our pets seemed very comfortable with her, which made us feel so much better knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
