“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”




2. Elvia C.

“Elvia was incredible. She sent us updates throughout her time with our dog, Cora. She is very flexible and helpful in time of short notice. Cora was exhausted at the end of the day so she was taken great care of. We will 100 percent keep using Elvia in the future for our dog. Highly recommend”


3. Daniela L.


“Daniela did an excellent job taking care of Levi! She came in during the scheduled time, cleaned his litter box, and ensured he was well-fed and given fresh water! Thank you again, Daniela!”


4. Christine L.

“Excellent rover. Very attentive and kept me involved in the exact way I desired. Will def recommend and hope to continue to work with her again! My cat loved her!”


5. Briana C.

“Wow wow wow! Briana made going away for our wedding as stress free as possible. She took such good care of our cat, Albie, while we were away. She took so many photos and videos!! Amazing!! Thank you, Briana.”


6. Katherine M.
“Katherine has care for many pets, both her own as well as the pets of others. When she's caring for someone's pet, that pet is in the greatest hands possible. She's done insulin administration for a pet of a friend of mine as part of pet sitting, she is a nurse by trade, so should an emergency arise, she is calm and can make the right decisions. She's loving, caring and goes out of her way to spend time with pets, not just check the boxes of walking/feeding etc. Any pet would be lucky to get to spend some time with Katherine.”


7. Barbara P.

“Barbara was fantastic!! Very communicative and always passing on thorough updates that are great to see as an owner. 10/10 and will certainly be a repeat customer!”


8. David S.

“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”


9. Katie V.

“First time booking Katie- she did a great job. Prompt communication, took care with the instructions we left, and kept us abreast of how our cats were doing. Will reach out again next time we need a petsitter- and do recommend to others!”

12. Marisa R.

“Marisa is amazing! I am so happy I found her. She is so kind, communicative, and punctual. She was so precise with a description and photos of the visits. I trust her with my pets whole heartedly while I am away.”


13. Katia L.

“Katia was great with Luna! She is very sweet and responsive. She went above and beyond by bringing Luna outside to play. Luna was very happy! Would definitely book again :)”


14. Nina G.

“Nina is so great! She is so quick to respond and was able to accommodate a very last minute meet and greet and drop in services for our pup! She is very communicative, sends great updates, and our pup loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


15. Anni G.
“Anni is a compassionate and responsible animal lover who provides safe, loving care to every pet she comes across. She goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for, all while keeping pet owners informed and reassured. Anni has watched my dog Riley, who fell in love with Anni right away. I could tell Riley was comfortable the minute I dropped her off. While pet sitting, Anni would update me on how Riley was eating, bathroom habits, walks they took and would send pictures since she knew I missed her. Not a worry crossed my mind while Anni watched my pup and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring and trusted pet sitter/walker.”


16. Mikaela M.

“Mikaela is amazing! We had one visit so far and she arrived right on time, played with our 9 week old puppy and sent many pictures and videos of the visit! Would definitely recommend!”


17. Ivon C.

“Ivon and Jojo got along really great! She was very attentive! We will be booking her for a vacation we have coming up.”


18. LisaLeigh R.
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”


19. Alexandra B.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. We recently lost our dog this winter and with our work schedules and emotional healing, while we love having dogs around we’re not in the place be dog parents again just yet. About 50% of my job involves traveling and my boyfriend works long hours so leaving a puppy or dog for that long would be hard for us at this point in time. When I am home, I work remotely & I would love to take care of someone else's dog while they were away as if it was my own! It would allow me to share all of the love and care I currently have to offer a dog & offer help to those who need theirs taken care of. While my job is corporate, I do not work a normal “9-5” ever so my flexibility varies by the week - but it gives me plenty of time and ability to play with your pup ! Our apartment has been fully dog-proofed as we had our dog when we moved into our current home. If there were any other precautions you’d need me to take as a one-off just let me know & I’d be happy to accommodate!


20. Kaitlyn L.
“Kaitlyn is the best animal sitter/dog walker we’ve ever had! She’s walked my dogs for me countless of times. She’s stayed over my house while on vacation took care of my two pitbulls and cat for my family and I! I know they are always in the best care when she can take care of them. She’s a very reliable caregiver, you won’t regret choosing her!”
