“Absolutely stellar pet sitter. I booked with William last minute since I had to leave town and my other sitter had fallen through, and he did such an amazing job with Fonzy. Consistent updates and photos, asked questions, and my place looked great when I returned. Highly recommend for others!”

“Claudia was an absolute 10/10 sitter and we give her five stars without hesitation. She followed all of our care instructions for our two dogs perfectly and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She walked them every morning and evening just like we requested, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and clearly gave them a lot of love and attention. Both of our boys absolutely adored her. Even our older French bulldog, who usually takes time to warm up to new people, trusted her immediately and became her little shadow. That alone spoke volumes to us. It truly felt like our dogs were in safe, trusted, and loving hands the entire time we were traveling. Claudia cared for them with the same level of love and support that we give them every day. We are so grateful for the peace of mind she provided and would absolutely rebook her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”

“Trevor did an amazing job taking care of my dog for the entire week. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Trevor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”


“Haley was absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs and cats as if they were her own, and we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. It's obvious that Haley goes above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for. Finding someone you can fully trust with your pets is rare, and Haley exceeded all of our expectations. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you, Haley—we will definitely be booking with you again! ❤️🐾”

“I will always choose Tabbitha if she is available! Friendly, amazing communication and frequent updates and photos. My dog loves her - after I’m home, for a day or two she keeps looking to the front door (I come in from the garage) as if she is hoping to see Tabbitha, too. She leaves my house spotless and generally makes me feel like my dog is very much appreciated and safe. Highly recommended!”

“Joelena was absolutely amazing taking care of our girls! This was the first time we left them for a longer period of time so we didn’t know what to expect but Joelena went above and beyond! We got daily updates, 3 or 2 times a day to know our girls were doing good, fed, walked and pottied! If anything seemed out of their routine she would let us know! Our little one tends to be shy around strangers but she came around to Joelena, which was amazing! We loved having her watch our girls and she’ll be the first person we ask to watch our babies again! Joelena made us feel so comfortable being away from home since we knew our babies were in such good hands!”

“Shannon was amazing. She hit it off with my two dogs right away. They slept with her and she did amazing. I will use her again when needed. Oh, and the house was spotless. Pick Shannon, you won't be disappointed.”


“I have a rescue dog with a sorted background. One of her issues is fear. She’s been with me now 9 months and I needed to visit family. I was so concerned how my girl would handle me leaving. Well! Marie is a pro and had my dog adoring her in no time which was a huge relief. Marie communicated several times a day and I could see my dog was totally relaxed. When the sit ended, my girl kept waiting for her to come back ❤️. A perfect example of success!”
“Desiree is pawsitively amazing! This was my third time entrusting her with my fur baby, and she never disappoints. She's so great and I'd pick her for dog sitting anytime! I'm over the moon grateful for her top-notch care. Thanks a million, Desiree!”

“Nicole is so kind and friendly, provides frequent updates, detailed care, and helped us out in a pinch. I can’t recommend her enough. She asked great questions to ensure care was consistent and correct, which was important as we have a senior, special needs dog with an extremely complicated med regimen. The house was left in excellent condition and I never felt like I was waiting for the next update. If you want excellent pet care, hire Nicole.”

“Jessica was fantastic! There’s nothing more we could have hoped for. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in great shape (even with a wild puppy she had to watch), her communication was great, I’d highly recommend Jessica. She couldn’t have been better!”

“Taylor was very positive and communicative so I always knew how Hank was doing. There were no issues with the house and everything went smoothly. I plan to use Taylor on a regular basis for overnight trips.”

“Alice is amazing, she took such wonderful care of Astro while we were out. She provided updates and great pictures. She was thorough with her care for Astro and did whatever was necessary to make him comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I helped my mom foster all kinds of pups - from playful litters (including one mom with 11 puppies!) to sweet senior dogs needing extra care. I'm comfortable with dogs of every size and age, and I have experience giving meds, brushing coats, and keeping pups happy and healthy. Growing up around my grandparents' ranch full of animals taught me responsibility and compassion - but most of all, it gave me a lifelong love for pets! I am a student at Arizona State, I have open availability throughout summer and am excited to take care of your pet whenever you need! I am up for any type of care plan necessary. Whether it’s walking and playing all day to wear them out or just chill on the couch and cuddle I am up for anything. I have experience caring for senior dogs with weak joints and accommodating them along with medication (I’m very good at hiding it).
“Took great care of my high energy dog while away for the Holiday weekend. My dog has some separation anxiety issues so I wanted to make him feel more comfortable by staying in his safe place as a recent rescue. I came home to a very happy dog.”

“Audrey was very kind, responsive, and great for our little last minute fiasco. The pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her and we were able to enjoy the day not worrying about the care our pups were provided!”

Claudia was the best choice for an international trip that caused me so much dog-mom anxiety, especially with our senior dog. Our girls were well cared for and our house was left exceptionally tidy! Highly recommend Claudia for any house sitting needs, she will definitely be our go-to for any future trips.

Zack did an excellent job caring for our babies. He was communicative throughout the entire stay, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We were especially impressed with the care he provided to our senior diabetic dog. Zack handled insulin injections and other medications confidently and reliably, which was incredibly important to us. It's clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. Thank you for taking such great care of Graham and Winslow. They absolutely loved you, and we would not hesitate to book with you again in the future. Highly recommended!

I was a little nervous about leaving Riley with someone new, but as soon as I started talking with her, I felt reassured. She was very direct about what she could do for Riley and clearly communicated her schedule. We met the same day, and she instantly put me at ease. We had a great conversation about Riley, his routine, and expectations. She was incredibly sweet, comforting, and asked thoughtful questions that showed she genuinely cared. She checked in on Riley the next day and sent pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved seeing. She never hesitated to reach out and keep me updated. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and she will definitely be my go to person for Riley from now on!

Mae was SO great with our dogs, turtle and fish! That’s right, she even fed and played with our turtle!! The dogs LOVED her! We really appreciated how much she communicated the whole time and sent pictures. Absolutely recommend her for overnight stays, would hire her again!

We could not be happier with Jamie and the service and care she provided. Total peace of mind from the meet and greet; pre trip communication and initial to end house sitting gig. Jamie was very personable; extremely confident in her pet caring skills; and takes her work very seriously and with complete professionalism. She arrived at the time we set up, kept in contact with us throughout our trip; showed great care to pets and home. Could not recommend her care enough.

We had such a great experience with Madison watching our dogs! She stayed at our home and was incredibly kind and respectful of our space and home. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our girls looked so happy and well cared for, and we loved that she took them on walks and gave them plenty of love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Overall, she did an amazing job and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We would absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
