“Neil was an affectionate and reliable caregiver for our dog and two cats when we were away for a week+, providing lots of updates regarding their moods and cute moments, and clearly taking a lot of pleasure in their company. He was a great pal to them all and left us feeling comfortable that they were in good hands.”


“K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!”


“It was great working with Jackie! She was very communicative, gave attentive care to our sweet pup and respected our home during a house sit. Looking forward to working with her again!”


“Alana was once again amazing with my pup! She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me in the loop during her time with Tyson. She also sent me pictures while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”


“Vanessa house sat for our dog and did a wonderful job. She was attentive to detail to ensure he had all of his usual comforts. She was flexible and able to accommodate our schedule when it changed, and she provided us with regular updates throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“Anastasia is a regular dog walker for us and recently stayed with our pup while we were away for the weekend. Our dog is clearly very comfortable with her and she always does a great job caring for him and paying attention to Ira’s need and idiosyncracies!”


“We had Rachael house sit and stay with our dog for a weekend while my husband and I were out of town. Rachael took great care of Pepper and our house was in great shape when we got home! Will definitely book the next time we need a sitter. Thanks Rachael!”


“Shalese was excellent as always! We know Dre loves we she comes to care for him and she does a fantastic job! Her updates are perfect and she always leaves our apartment clean and well taken care of as well.”


“Amanda is great. She took excellent care of my cats and bird while house sitting for a couple days. She let now how everyone was doing daily with pics. I’ll for sure be having her back! Thanks so much Amanda.”


“Tam is the BEST! This is our second time using Tam when we’ve traveled out of state. My elderly chihuahua has a tooth issue and I was worried about leaving her but Tam was so attentive and truly put my worries at ease. She gives lots of detailed updates, sends pictures and asks a lot of questions which shows she cares. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my babies! Thank you, Tam!”


“Emma did a wonderful job dogisitting for us. We have a very anxious little pup and he felt really safe with her. She also left our home in beautiful condition. She's an excellent communicator and we would recommend her without reservations.”


“Kelly is so enthusiastic and a wonderful caretaker of our pups! She kept us well informed throughout the duration of her stay and the dogs were so happy with her. We have a 4 month old and a 7 year old. She balanced the energy of the baby so well while also making sure our “elder” got love and attention. Will absolutely be using Kelly in the future and highly recommend her!”


“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”


“Aaron was great and easy to connect with for a day of watching our big dog. Grateful he was open to a meet and greet first and updated throughout the time he was watching our boy 🐶”
