“Alex took care of my pups over a weekend and was just terrific. Reliable, professional, unflappable and a great communicator. I came home to some very happy dogs!”


2. Hayley M.

“Hayley was phenomenal, she dog sat at our home for 6 days and sent updates and pictures everyday. We had nothing but confidence that Lola was having the time of her life with Hayley! It felt so good knowing she was being so well taken care of. We will be booking with Hayley every time we go out of town! She is literally the best!!”

4. Jamie A.

“She is the best !! Would book her again and again. She took great care of the babies.”


5. Samantha H.
“Sam and Grant house/cat sit for 3 weeks while I was away on vacation earlier this year. They are kind, communicative, and took great care of my 15 year old cat on joint supplements. They bonded with my cat quickly and sent lots of pictures. I returned to a tidy home and a content kitty! Highly recommend!”


6. Gabriela A.

“Gabriela was felxible and accommodating in taking care of our girls on a very short notice request. Thank you!”


7. Hayley L.

“Hayley was great with my two dogs. Plenty of walks, playtime and exercise. Took care of my house like it was her own, and did not have any issues. Would book again!”


8. Lauren M.
“I highly recommend Lauren as a dog sitter. Lauren has cared for my black lab in the past numerous times. She is a very trustworthy, caring person who loves animals. I always felt comfortable leaving my dog with Lauren. She was always responsive to check-ins, accommodating if my schedule changed and more than willing to be attentive to Bella's specific needs. Bella was always a happy girl when I arrived for pick-up indicating that she felt safe with Lauren and enjoyed her stay. Rover would be honored to have someone like Lauren as a dog sitter!”


9. Zoe M.

“We are visiting from out of town and needed a sitter last minute. We have two rescue dogs who are sweet dogs but don’t warm up to strangers quickly. After reading Zoe’s profile and knowing her exposure to dogs of many temperaments, we felt confident that she’d be a good sitter. She absolutely was. She responded promptly to the request, arrived on time, and sent an update with photo. We would definitely love to have her sit our pups again. If pups are happy, so are we!”


10. Jessica L.
“Jessica is an exceptional pet sitter! She’s incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me great peace of mind while I am away. Her communication is excellent, she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”


11. Victoria K.

“Victoria took great care of my pup!”


12. Claire S.

“Claire was amazing! She jumped into action when we thought we would have to cancel our plans and treated our pets like family! We would strongly recommend her for your pups and hope to book with her soon again!!”


13. Stephanie G.
“Stephanie has been a reliable caring and trustworthy pet sitter for me and all of my dogs for over 20 years. She was a saint and watched Lola my old dog months at a time while I was traveling for work. Now that I live on the West Coast I gladly fly her out to come and look after my dogs. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and I believe she can handle any situation that could arise. My dogs love it when she’s here. She’s a great caregiver and I feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”


14. Lucas S.

“I cannot thank Lucas enough. Far exceeded my expectations, we will 100% be a repeat customer. Two-week trip, our anxious dog loved Lucas and clearly felt safe amd cared for. Detailed updates, even cleaned up the house (and the sheets on the bed he used) before we returned! Highest recommendation”


15. Kelsey S.
About: I’m a grad student training for a half marathon, so whether your pet needs a nice long run or would do better as a study buddy (or anything in between), I’d love the company! I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats (and they all got along!), so I’ve been a big animal person my whole life. Since my early teens, I’ve had neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to watch and walk their animals, or housesit. I’m in grad school, so I’m available to walk/hang out with your pets in the early mornings or late afternoon/evenings on weekdays. Weekends are much more flexible, so I can spend a lot of quality time with your furry friend. I’m available for house sitting any night. I’m comfortable hanging out with your pets freely in your home and yard, but I also have experience crating animals, even ones I don’t know, if that’s what your pets are used to!


16. Alexandra G.

“Alexandra was fabulous! I don't think my dog knew the difference between her and me! I felt very comfortable with her in my house and with my sweet pup. She sent lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”


17. Nicholas K.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my son for his exceptional dedication and care for our two dogs. His responsibility, compassion, and unwavering commitment to their well-being have been nothing short of remarkable. From daily walks to ensuring they receive proper nutrition, my son consistently demonstrates an exceptional level of responsibility. He not only attends to their physical needs but also makes sure they receive ample affection and mental stimulation, understanding the importance of a well-rounded approach to pet care. His patience and gentle demeanor have fostered a deep bond with both dogs, highlighting his natural affinity for animals. Whether it’s administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or simply spending quality time playing and engaging with them, his attentiveness and love are evident. His proactive approach to learning about their needs, including researching best practices and being vigilant about their health, showcases his commitment to being an outstanding caregiver. He has proven himself to be reliable and trustworthy, ensuring the dogs are always safe, happy, and healthy. I am confident that his skills and compassion make him exceptionally qualified for any role or opportunity involving animal care. Should you require any further information,”


18. Tallyn S.

“Tallyn did an awesome job taking care of my Lily!”


19. Crystal Y.

“Crystal was great with Cooper and gave me updates daily! I would definitely use her again!”


20. Shannon M.


“Shannon M had another great stay with the pups. They went on outings to new places and enjoyed outdoor time with the great weather. Shannon sent photos and updates throughout the stay which is very much appreciated. And the house was left immaculate. Thank you Shannon!”
