1. CJ T.
“CJ was great with our pups! He came on time, was very communicative, and our pups warmed up to him quickly. Would love to have CJ watch our pups again! Thank you again CJ!”
2. Kavya R.
“Kavya is the best! This is our second time having her house sit for our dog and we will be asking her to stay and watch Barney again in the future whenever we are traveling. We highly recommend Kavya.”
3. Stephen G.
“Stephen went "above and beyond" in caring for my dogs and my home during my time away. The fussy pups received special attention tailored to their needs. They had lovely long walks, lots of play time and even some nice behavioral training. In addition, Stephen also worked with another sitter to ensure there was no lspse in care on the few days he had previously booked with another client. Not only is he the epitome of professional, but my pups really seem to enjoy their time with him - I arrived home after an extended trip to hsppy, calm dogs - so nice!”
4. Amara G.
“Amara was once again, did a wonderful job watching my dog, Loki. She knew my schedule and made sure Loki was tuckered out and ready for a nap when I got home. Perfect!”
5. Anjyla A.
“Anjyla pet sat for our two large dogs. One is very timid and doesn’t like everyone so I was concerned about leaving her but within a day Anjyla had won her over with her daily and sometimes twice a day walks. She is extremely responsible and loving to our dogs which is why we have no hesitation having her care for them anytime we go away.”
6. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter! She took care of my 14 year old pit bull for the weekend and I came home to a tidy home and a very happy puppy. She also sent some cute photos! Will definitely be using her again.”
7. Leilani L.
“Leilani was punctual, sweet, honest and caring. Will book her again to care for her kitties!”
8. Trina C.
“Trina took care of Xander and Teal over the holidays. So grateful to her for taking such good care of my babies, especially giving Xander his meds which is a tough job. She is responsible, caring, clean and loving. Would trust her with my babies any day!”
9. Katie C.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Otis and our home! Katie was quick with communication, and shared many photos of Otis while we were gone. She took him on multiple walks and made sure that he got lots of exercise and love.”
10. Victoria S.
“I am always so glad to have Vicky to take care of my cat and know she will be in reliable hands. Vicky has looked after her for several trips over the years, the longest of which was one month. She paid careful attention to my requests about feeding schedule. She was also quite in tune with how my cat was doing, and my normally grumpy cat became affectionate with her too. Vicky kept me posted with photos and let me know what my cat had been up to. I came home to a happy cat!”
11. Alexis I.
“We had Alexis housesit and pet sit for our two cats and dog. We were pleased with her interaction with our dog, taking him for walks and sending pictures. She was spot on on her assessment of our female cat, noting that she ruled the house. The biggest surprise was that she was able to get our very feral kitty inside. Quite the feat. When we arrived home, the house was as we left it. She kept everything nice and tidy. It is nice to now have a person we can count on for our future travels!”
12. Lucia & David J.
“Lucia used to be my roommate and was great with my cat, Bruce. She would also catsit him for me whenever I was out of town (sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time). Bruce always felt very comfortable around her, even preferring to hang with her over me sometimes :( She's also extremely responsive and made sure to keep me updated on what he'd been up to every day. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”
13. lisa r.
“Lisa was an absolute joy to have as a sitter. She was very kind and friendly. My dog, Lola, enjoyed her walks with Lisa and the play time. Would definitely recommend her!”
14. Austin S.
“We’ve used Austin several times and we couldn’t be happier having him stay in our home and care for our dog. He is responsible and caring! Our lab loves Austin and is always sad to see him go!”
15. Fadoua H.
“Fadoua is an amazing caretaker for my lovelies. She truly cares for my girls as her own and is conscientious and responsible. My dog misses her the second she leaves, which is the true testimonial to her skills as an animal lover.”
16. Jennifer B.
“We asked Jennifer to watch our house, our cat, and our dog for five nights. She was nice enough to come early to get a rundown of all the details to maintain our house and to handle all the special needs our pets have. During our time away, she gave us timely updates and pictures of our pets. And when she encountered an issue we had not covered, she was quick to contact us with a question. When we came back, we found the house in better condition than we left, and our pets were happy and well cared for. Jennifer is a natural with animals and our pets warmed up to her quickly, even our cat who is very shy. I would be happy to hire Jennifer again.”
17. FANG L.
“I cannot recommend Fang highly enough as a dog walker. She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my large poodle, ensuring he always had a great time on their walks. Fang’s flexibility with scheduling was a lifesaver for me, and her dedication to my dog’s well-being was evident in every interaction. The numerous photos she sent during their walks provided me with peace of mind and joy, knowing my poodle was in excellent hands. Fang’s commitment and love for animals truly shine through in her work.”
18. Ciara P.
“Thank you Ciara for being so wonderful to Buddy. We always appreciate the great job you do and knowing he is safe and being well taken care of.”
19. Caroline W.
“Caroline was fantastic! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos while I was away, and my boys warmed up to her right away. Highly recommend! :)”
20. CLARA F.
“Clara was absolutely AMAZING! Such a sweet person and so gentle with animals. I felt like she really cared about my dogs and and that made me feel so much better about leaving them for the weekend. She sent pictures and updates the whole time and was great to communicate with. I came home to two very happy pups and I would happily book with Clara again.”
