“We absolutely loved Genevieve, but more importantly, our little pups loved her. Genevieve is a fantastic communicator, clearly loves dogs, and was so respectful of our space, a calming presence for our girls who were wondering who this new person was in their habitat. We would have her come back anytime we weren't able to travel with the pups. My only hesitation in leaving a glowing review is that she won't be available for us because you will all want to book her.”

“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”

“Trina has stayed with our dogs twice now. She took great care of the dogs and the house, sent daily pictures and was an excellent communicator. She even asked if she could give them a little extra grooming, and did a great job at that too. I think she has a special way with dogs, and the dogs seem to think so too.”
“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

“Austin did a great job taking care of our pups! He was so easy to work with, very responsive when we were meeting with him and he asked great questions. One of our dogs is a little slower to come around to people, but she took to him immediately and clearly loved having him around. He sent great updates while we were gone and we were entirely confident that they were in great hands the whole time. Thanks so much Austin!”

“Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!”

“Audra is very responsible and caring not just with Emi but also with our home, she is very communicative and send us updates about our dog and Emi loves her. I would recommend Audra to anyone :)”

“Ian is absolutely the BEST!! They are so kind and considerate, send the best photos of the dogs and you can really tell they love what they do! Ian goes well above and beyond as well! Not only were my pups well cared for and relaxed when we got home, but the house was spotless and they even did the sheets and made the bed so we didn’t have to when we got home! Cannot wait to book again!!”

“Maria was a pleasure! I can't recommend her enough. She was kind, professional, very neat, personable, and very responsive. Lots of pictures! She has infectious smile and way about her that made Gigi instantly love her.”

About: Over the years I’ve noticed that I can’t think of a single bad experience that I’ve had with cats/dogs. Pretty much every single animal I have crossed paths with has grown comfortable with me if not immediately. I think maybe it’s the way I approach animals, im always talking to them like they’re humans for some reason and it almost seems like they can understand me. And I like to tell myself I can understand them and their silent expressions. This is what draws me to animals so much. That silent understanding and comfort is what makes me love animals so much. I’m currently on summer break while working 2 part time jobs, one is a weekend job only at a pottery shop called color me mine and on top of that I work as an assistant for a home stager! My schedule with her isn’t consistent so I’m looking for one more flexible job. Unfortunately I’m living in a pretty small studio while I study interior design. Because of that I had to leave my pets at home and I decided to rescue an indoor cat in need of a safe home. I got him a window perch which he loves to watch cats and birds on. And every day I make sure to leave my front door open for him so he can watch from the screen with some fresh air. I’ve actually tried to get him outdoors a few times on a harness so he could get familiar with the area but since it’s kind of a busy area the sounds were freaking him out. He loves being pet and snuggling up under my blanket so I give him as much affection as I can throughout the day even if that means I go through endless amounts of lint rollers to get all his hair off of me!! I love taking dogs on walks that’s the only thing I wish cats were more comfortable doing haha!
“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”


“Victoria was fantastic with Piggy and Toast. She was kind, reliable, a great communicator, and sent us lovely photo updates while we were away. The dogs clearly adored her, and we came home to an incredibly tidy house. We’re so happy we found her and would absolutely book her again!”

“Arianna was really receptive to Willow's needs and very communicative. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond to give Willow company and to make her comfortable. She was also a terrific and considerate house guest. We recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners!”

“Shalese was excellent as always! We know Dre loves we she comes to care for him and she does a fantastic job! Her updates are perfect and she always leaves our apartment clean and well taken care of as well.”


“Zoe was fantastic and thoughtful while taking care of my senior dog (requiring meds and a special diet). Zoe asked all the right questions beforehand and was an exceptional house and dogsitter. I’m looking forward to her help in the future. And highly recommend her from my first experience.”

“Another amazing pet sitting experience with CJ!! Our shepherd Ellie absolutely loves him and when we came home, she looked at us like “who are you?” He takes great care of our girl and also leaves our house in impeccable condition. This time he even had to put up with house construction and had no complaints. He’s our go-to for pet sitting!”

“Amara was the very best sitter we have ever had - she is so very kind, polite, caring, genuine and my dog and I absolutely loved her! My dog is sweet but I have never seen her take to another like she did with Amara. I am so grateful for her help!”

“Dana was an amazing house/dog/cat sitter and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She had to deal with our very high energy puppy, anxious small dog and elusive cat and she did a wonderful job with all three. It was also such a relief to come home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it!”

Cardigen did an excellent job looking after our 2 dogs and our house while we were away for a week. She was very professional, detail oriented, and made sure the dogs got a lot of love and care. She sent us some pictures and kept us updated. We would definitely invite her back. Thank you!

Kendall is terrific. She cares and connected quickly with my pup. She is conscientious, offered to come and meet my dog before the visit. She asked questions about emergency plans, feeding, medications and her best schedule. She was tidy, punctual and helpful, even sending me photos and relaying my dogs attitude and energy level throughout her stay. I highly recommend Kendall - 5 stars!

We had an excellent experience with Julie and would highly recommend her. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we appreciated the daily photos and updates that kept us informed and reassured while we were away. Julie was punctual, dependable, and clearly cared for our dog as if it were her own. We also returned to a spotless home, which was such a wonderful bonus after traveling. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Julie again!

Korinne was fantastic. She took care of my kitty for 4 days and spent ample time with him, stayed the night, provided several updates a day and made me feel that he was well taken care of. Will definitely try to have her visit again in the future when I need help!

This was our second time booking Stephanie to watch our senior dog. She took great care of her and we came home to a happy dog. We appreciated that she took out the trash and kept our house clean. We are thankful to have found a great sitter to give us peace of mind while we’re traveling. Thanks for all of your help, Stephanie!

Jaya was super accomodating and flexible with the dates. My dog Mila was super comfortable with her. Jaya had excellent communication and took great pics, kept regular updates. I was able to travel with peace of mind, so I will continue booking with her again for sure!

Victoria was fantastic with Piggy and Toast. She was kind, reliable, a great communicator, and sent us lovely photo updates while we were away. The dogs clearly adored her, and we came home to an incredibly tidy house. We’re so happy we found her and would absolutely book her again!

Genevieve took care of our dog Miso over the long weekend (house sitting) and did a stellar job. It’s clear she loves animals. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay. She even left flowers and some baked goods for us after we returned. We would definitely rebook her!

Rachel was wonderful housesitting our very senior kitty. Her reports were not only very detailed but also full of love and warmth for our kitty. We also really appreciate that she is comfortable giving medications and keeping an eye out for basic senior issues. This is the first time we’ve left our 19 yr old kitty in a year, but we knew he was in great hands with Rachel. We can’t recommend her enough.
