“Bennie and Jennie did another wonderful job taking care of Freddie . He is happy to see me when I get home but a bit mopey because he misses them . He enjoys their care and attention. He was fed brushed and played with all the things he needs to keep my baby healthy and safe . I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel knowing they are in my house taking care of Freddie . They are respectful trust worthy and leave my house cleaner than when I left without my having to ask. It’s such a relief knowing I can plan a trip and if they are available I don’t have to worry about anything at home. Highly recommend these sweet caretakers if you need a babysitter .”



“Robert did an excellent job! He watched our three dogs in our apartment over the weekend. The puppy seemed a bit nervous at first, but clearly warmed up to him over the course of his stay. He communicated often and sent photos and videos of the pups as well. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”



“Michelle was great on communication, so sweet, sent photos, kept in touch, listened to instructions, has a great space for dogs to run. I couldn’t be happier with how her sitting my dog went. I highly recommend Michelle.”


“Alexander was amazing! Super communicative all day, sent tons of photos, regular updates. I barely feel like I left because he kept me so informed about how Nova was doing even down to noticing the little things! Highly recommend and I will definitely have him back in the future. Grateful he was randomly able to come with an hours notice when another sitter canceled. Thank you”


“We recently used Camden for the first time and are very happy with the experience! It can be stressful to leave two large dogs and all of our belongings with someone new, especially for a few days overnight. However, Camden provided reassurance. She communicated regularly, sending updates and photos of our dogs having fun and relaxing. From the start, it was evident that Camden has a true love for animals and provided outstanding care. We look forward to using Camden's services again and are highly recommended to any dog owner and/or for housesitting!”


“Elizabeth exceeded our expectations . Made everything seamless and easy . She was amazing with communication and updated us with pictures . Our boy Bo loved her ! We look forward to using her services in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter for their fur babies .”

Thank you Katie for taking the best care of our girl!”

About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!

“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”


“Elena was very accommodating with my situation. Her place wasn’t hard to find and my Milo and enjoyed his time over there. She often send pictures and also send me messages every day to let me know how he was doing and what he was up to. I would definitely be using her again and her family love My Milo as well. I was very pleased with how much care they gave him.”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!

“Zachary house-sat my dog for an afternoon. He was very responsive when booking, was flexible with my schedule, and very easy to communicate with. He took great care of my dog - I’d recommend Zach to anyone looking for pet care. I will definitely be re-booking with him in the future.”


“Bryce was so great with my two dogs when he dog sat for me for a few days. He followed all the instructions, gave consistent updates, and was overall truly excellent. I very highly recommend him!”
