“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”



“I had never used Rover before Emily took care of Beaumont. I will definitely use the service again because of my great experience with her. She kept me updated and sent adorable photos of Beau!”


“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”


“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”

“Melanie was a tremendous choice for housesitting and petsitting! She was communicative, professional, and attentive. I never once worried that my babies weren't getting the care they deserve! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”


“Averi was great! Dogs, house, and plants clearly cared for. She was very flexible when our schedule changed. I am certain that we will book her again!”


“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”


“Brittany did a great job with our pets - she was punctual, professional, and gave us great updates about how everyone was doing while we were away. I'd definitely recommend her and I'm sure we'll book her again the next time we need a housesitter!”


“Jora was a great pet sitter. I had to make an urgent trip overnight across the country and booking was fast and easy. Then meet and greet. Then they watched the house and puppers while I was away. I am very grateful for this service. Thank you!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kenza was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and professional, making sure I felt at ease while I was away. What really stood out, though, was how loving and attentive they were to my girls—you can tell Kenza genuinely cares about the pets they look after. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💕”


“Seline took great care of our two dogs!”


“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


“I can’t recommend Caitlin enough. She house-sat and cared for my dog, Dusty, while I was away, and everything was flawless from start to finish. She’s incredibly professional, sent regular photo and video updates (which gave me so much peace of mind), and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. Not only is she amazing with animals, but I’ve also worked with her before—so I already knew she was reliable, detail-oriented, and just a genuinely good human. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets and your home with the utmost responsibility, Caitlin is it.”


“overall great always keeping me updated with pics and messages. came home to a spotless apt much cleaner than i had left it lol”


“Liz is FANTASTIC! She made my pup so happy while I was away for a week that he is probably sad that I came home! She is reliable, communicative, friendly, and LOVES animals. I hope to have Liz doggy-sit for me again :)”


“Really great with my doggos...would recommend highly.”


“Steven was an incredible sitter! He was extremely responsive, gave great updates, and took wonderful care of our dog. Noodle was clearly well loved and also kept on her routine. We would highly recommended Steven for any of your dog needs.”


“Robbi is great! She’s very responsive and was flexible in a last minute adjustment to the date/time I need her to watch my pup. She would occasionally check in and send photos of my puppy letting me know everything is going well. Definitely will be using her in the future!”
