“Lori is lovely and dependable! I booked a bit last minute and she was able to FaceTime so we both could feel comfortable. She met Willie 🐶 on FaceTime as well. Very trustworthy, I would absolutely 💯 use her services again!”
2. Andrea H.

5. Michael & Erin M.
“Michael was an amazing sitter for our antisocial house panther. We received thorough updates and Shifty even came out of hiding to play. We came home to a happy cat.”
6. Nicollette J.
“Nicollette did a great job looking after my rather shy cat. She was very sensitive to his needs and very communicative as to her intentions and questions. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to sit for him again.”
7. Pace W.
“Pace was fantastic. He is way overqualified for taking care of pets and such a pleasant person. I was lucky to find him for only a couple of visits while I attended a funeral but it took all the stress out of the situation. You would never finds anyone more qualified and kind.”
8. Melissa B.
“Melissa is great with our dogs! She took amazing care and spent lots of quality time with them when we were out of town. We will use her again for sure’”
9. George D.
“Our 2 kitties were in great spirits when we came home from our trip after George's care, it was clear they had gotten loving attention while we were gone. Our female cat hardly eats when we're away, and George was patient with accommodating her preferences to get the most food eaten. The communication was great, sending us pictures of them playing and her eating. George was respectful of our home and reliable to communicate with, we will continue to trust our pets with him!”
10. Dana D.
“Dana was wonderful with Gunnar. We really felt like our pup was in good hands while we were out of town and loved receiving the updates on how he was doing. She went above and beyond our expectations. 10/10 recommend Dana!”
11. Rebecca A.
About: I have two cats at home and regularly love on friends’ pups. Always happy to have an excuse for a walk! Spending time with animals is a joy, and I will diligently follow any instructions for how you like your pet cared for. I work from home with a very flexible schedule on the days I am available. I am easily able to adapt to the schedule that your pet needs. I live close to a park and will be happy to take pets for a walk or to cuddle them at home. I stay attuned to your pet, whether they want to play or hang out. I will always give you an update when I visit or throughout the day.
12. Paola A.
“Paola is amazing as always! Always takes great care of our pups and we can tell they love her so much and she loves them right back. We never have to worry about a thing with Paola. She always sends us pictures of our dogs whenever she drops in on them which is very appropriated. We can’t say enough great things about Paola!”
13. Penelope H.
“Penelope is a wonderful pet sitter. Right away we knew we were leaving our cats in the hands of someone who truly cared for animals, as well as having an extensive knowledge of cats. She is kind, caring, professional, trustworthy and takes care of our cats as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable while we were away, sending multiple pictures and updates during the time we were gone. We highly recommend her! Thanks Penelope!”
14. Ross H.
“This is a second Review for Ross not only for drop in care but for house sitting. Our dogs LOVE him. It is always evident that they have received plenty of attention while we are away. They aren’t stressed or overly desperate for affection, but always full of tail wags and kisses. Ross house sits when we travel and I’ve never had a house sitter that was as respectful and tidy as he is. Ross is always on time and communicates with us regularly- including cute pics of the dogs! I could not be more pleased with Ross as our care giver for our doggie- he truly loves this as much as we do.”
15. Candace P.
“Candace is my go to dog sitter when I need to go out of town. My dog is a grumpy little old man when meeting other dogs (but he loves people) but Candace made sure that he was comfortable with meeting her and Dooley. It’s great that she’s a dog owner herself because she knows and makes sure my dog gets plenty of potty breaks and a decently long walk. She also made sure to send some photos so I could see updates of my grumpy pupper.”
16. Krissi M.
“Krissi has looked after my cat for the second time while I was away on vacation. As always, she did a fantastic job and kept me updated after each visit. I truly appreciate her help and highly recommend her services.”
17. Catherine B.
“Catherine has been pet sitting for our now senior dog since she was a puppy, not only does our dog love her but we love knowing she’s well cared for while we’re away!”
18. Stephanie S.
About: Where other kids were getting their first babysitting jobs in their early teens, I was pet-sitting instead. I’ve had dogs since I was five years old, all three of them beagles who have ranged from lazy couch potatoes to insanely energetic. I’ve been in charge of training my most recent and cared for my second dog to the ripe old age of fifteen. My current dog also has me accustomed to 4-5 mile walks on a daily basis, so I’m quite used to long distances. I make my own schedule and work at home, so I have the flexibility necessary to accommodate a wider range of times, as well as short notice requests. While I lack the space currently to care for your dog in my home, I would be happy to check-in on your furbabies in your own home.
19. Erin S.
“Erin was just who we needed to walk and feed our pup while my mom recovered from surgery. At the same time our dog was having digestive issues and she was gracious in dealing with that! She is flexible, prompt in her responses, and she gave me peace of mind that our dog was in good hands. She is now Auntie Erin to our Sandy!”
20. Zoe S.
“We have a nine year old dog with anxiety. It takes several visits so she will remember someone one and warm up to them. Zoe has been amazing. She is always on time. She is patient and gentle. She was able to build trust with our dog so that I can now leave for a long afternoon and not worry.”
