2. Natalie J.

“Natalie house sat my 2 dogs and 3 birds for a long weekend. Natalie is responsible and easy to reach. She responded promptly to any messages. One of my dogs requires special care as a senior and Natalie cared for him well. I would book Natalie again!”


3. Caroline B.

“Caroline was awesome. She was super responsive and flexible with date changes. She sent pictures of our pets and left the house in perfect condition (even washed the sheets she used!).”


4. Volkan E.

“Excellent sitter! Immensely helpful when I had to leave the country for a long time and wasn’t sure if my new cats would be able to handle being away from humans for very long. Great communication and took great care of the cats and the apartment. I’ll reach out again if I need sitting in the future!”


5. Omar L.

“Omar was an amazing sitter for our pitbull Oz. He kept us updated throughout each day and followed our instructions to a tee. He also left our house clean and organized. I hope that we can book him again!”


6. Andrew T.

“Andrew is an amazing dog sitter! He stayed at our home for two weeks while we were on vacation and looked after our 2 dogs. He was amazing, he texted us daily updates with pictures and even found a fenced area to play fetch with my mini aussie as he is high energy. Followed the care instructions for my yorkie who just had surgery. He definitely went above and beyond and I 100% recommend him!”


7. Jasmin L.

“Jasmin took such great care of our sweet (kinda complicated) pup and elderly cat. She is responsible and a great communicator. Highly recomend”


8. Dania H.

“Dania was such a great sitter! She took Jerry out for even longer walks than we asked and was super communicative over the days and nights (regarding Jerry and stuff in our house). Will absolutely rebook 🙌🏼”


9. Deni T.

“Deni took great care of our pup and house for a week while we were away. She sent regular updates, followed through on any specific requests, and left the house very tidy. Would definitely recommend!”


10. Dori W.

“Dori did a great job, was very personable and went beyond her role as Dog sitter when I was in a pinch. I would defiantly use her again. Bear says hello! Tracy”


11. Anny A.

“Anny was the first sitter we hired for our dog, who is still struggling with separation anxiety after her time in shelters and foster care. Anny took great care of our dog and made sure to update us on how she was doing. From the first few minutes of her arrival, you could tell Anny had know-how. I would definitely hire her again, and would confidently recommend her to anyone else looking for a little peace of mind.”


12. Frances & Julia H.

“I had an excellent experience with Fran as my dog sitter! She provided top-notch care for my dog, Randy, while I was on vacation. Fran's friendly and welcoming approach made Randy feel right at home. I truly appreciated the regular photo updates and communication throughout the day. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Randy was in good hands. I highly recommend Fran as a dog sitter and would give her a 5-star rating without hesitation. Thank you, Fran, for your outstanding service!”


13. Raven R.

“Raven was a wonderful sitter for our two elderly guys, a small and a giant breed, and pair of rats. She took great care of all of them and the house for two weeks, and it was a relief to know they were in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”


14. Joseph C.

“Joe is great. He is very professional and my dog loves him. I appreciate his prompt communication and feel very safe/good about him taking care of my dog/being in home.”


15. Linda P.
“Linda is a true dog and cat mom! She loves her pets as humans! And they love her! She sleeps with our cat Cleo under her arm, gives our cat Binx black olives daily (he loves them!), and loved her grand puppy Tate (Chihuahua) as her own - dressing him up in all sorts of 'clothes' (a special one as a groom with his bride, Bailey (Chihuahua)). Although Tate recently passed, Linda always had taken him on walks and still does so with his sister, Bailey. She is always gentle and kind and will say hello to the animals before the humans! She is trustworthy and dependable. Linda is a wonderful caretaker of our furry friends.”


16. Rebekah M.
“Rebekah has been caring for and walking my 4 year old Border Collie. She is very caring and loves spending time with him. He is always excited to go for walks and play catch with her.”


17. Christine C.

“Christine was lovely with Bonnie. She spoiled her and I felt very comfortable leaving Bonnie in her care. She has a natural gift with dogs and just loves to be around them. Absolutely happy with Christine”


18. Mariah C.
“I’ve known Mariah for a long time and she has always been great with animals! She’s sat for several of my family’s dogs over the years, some of who were rescued and/or had special needs, and they love/trust her implicitly. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for extra TLC for their pet!”


19. Louis C.
“Louis is amazing with all sorts of animals! He's so mindful of both cat and dog behavior and quickly bonds with all critters. Take for example, he has even been accepted by my pet rats who love when he visits! I trust him implicitly to take care of my pets, knowing he will meet any of their needs, from keeping their schedule, playing and feeding, and even giving them medication if needed. I can't recommend him enough!”


20. Betsy & Gordon T.
“Betsy and Pheraline are both kind and loving to our dog Rusty. He gets so excited when they come over! Pheraline especially loves to feed Rusty and cuddle on the couch with him.”
