“Laney is AMAZING! Her communication skills are the best. She was quick and very responsive. She put all my worries at ease and sent amazing pictures daily! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”


2. Holly & Robert E.

“My dog Sui was well cared for and happy to see Robert when he returned my apartment key promptly as scheduled. Thank you Robert and Holly for caring for Sui last minute when I was invited out of town for New Year’s Eve. I would rebook/recommend them for people with larger dogs as they were very comfortable handling my hyper German Shepherd mix dog Sui (90 lbs on a leash).”

6. Torrie S.

“We are new to town and I initially felt stressed out about finding a cat sitter for the holidays so soon after moving to town. But we couldn’t be happier with how well Torrie cared for our fur babies and our home! She went above and beyond - there’s no doubt our kitties were loved and cared for while we were out of town. We are so relieved to have found Torrie!”

“Lenah has done a great job taking care of my cat! She's checked in on them regularly, done a great job of keeping me updated with pictures and makes sure my cat gets lots of playtime and petting! She handled a difficult starting situation well and has been all around great to deal with! I have to be away for several weeks and am very glad to have her to look after my fur baby!”

12. Amaya O.
“Amaya is fantastic. She is reliable, easy to communicate with and most importantly loves our dog. It is hard to find someone trustworthy to take care of our dog but Amaya goes above and beyond. She is gentle and kind with our dog. Amaya is receptive to our directions and needs. She is always willing to walk our dog extra if needed. Would 100% recommend her and trust her with our precious dog!”

16. Maggie G.
About: I've cared for animals my whole life! Whether working professionally with raptors at a local nonprofit or caring for the dogs and cats of my friends--I've spent A LOT of time caring for animals. In the past I've cared for 13+ permanently injured hawks and falcons in my job, housesit for cats and dogs, traveled around the world caring for pets via Trusted Housesitters, and cared for my own pets, who are the light of my life! Professionally, I'm a writer and editor, so I'm detail-oriented and able to follow instructions, so nothing important slips through the cracks. I am a full-time freelancer, so I work remotely and from home. I spend most of the workday in my little home office, so pets are left alone very minimally. In general, I try to separate my dog and any guest dogs (if they don't know each other well) when I leave the house. I live in a small house, with a spacious fenced yard, which I take great care to secure. I have a 22lb, four year old terrier-poodle mix who loves the company of other dogs. I, myself, get very nervous leaving my dog with sitters while I travel, so I make sure the folks I work with do not have to worry. I promise I'll text you pictures and updates and take great pains to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while they are away from home.


17. Nicolle H.

“Nicolle is so wonderful!! I've hired her many times and will continue to hire her. She is great with my cat (who is shy and suspicious of everyone) and I love the little paragraphs she leaves as updates every time she visits!”


18. Devta K.
“Devta K has always loved animals. She is one of the most caring and loving people I know. She has had experience volunteering at a veterinary clinic and is very professional.”


19. Susan F.
“Susan is the kind of person that dogs, cats and other pets love to hang out with. She is immediately friends with any kind of animal. (She's very good with human animals too, but that's not the concern here.) She's been around animals, including farm animals, forever and quite naturally fits in with them like a good friend. Otherwise, she's also totally reliable, dependable, responsible, honest and has all those other human qualities that people with pets look for in a pet sitter or pet companion. My wife and I have known her for over ten years and, well what else can I say, she's spot on!”

“Last minute booking and Caro jumped right in! Sammie loves her! Thanks Caro!”
