“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Amy watched my Pomeranian, Peaches, for a couple of days last week, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was an excellent communicator and brought such a calm, grounding energy—exactly what both I and my dog needed. She even came early the day I was leaving and gently soothed Peaches while I packed. Peaches didn’t even realize I was heading out! Amy is truly a dog whisperer and gave me complete peace of mind. She’s the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.”


“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!”


“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!”


“Rachael take great care of our dog and home while we were away! We appreciated coming home to a happy dog and clean home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Tam was fantastic and went above beyond. She took care of Abigail like I would and sent lots of photos and updates. She took care of our home, respected our space, and was very communicative. Can't wait to have her watch our little Abigail again.”


“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”


“Wonderful! Prompt, kind, left house in great shape. We found our big spaniel sleeping in the couch with Neil while he was just hanging and watching TV. Clearly our dog was very comfortable with Neil!”


“Kelly is a wonderful and attentive dog sitter. She sent us several updates and pictures and our puppy absolutely loved her!! She is a bright and sweet person who you can feel totally comfortable with taking care of your pet.”


“We recently had the pleasure of having Emma house sit and take care of our beloved dog, Tobias. From the moment we met Emma, we knew Tobias was in good hands. Her warm approach and genuine love for animals shone through. During our time away, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which greatly eased our minds. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for Tobias. Emma's attention to detail and exceptional care were so impressive that we didn't hesitate to book her for another house sitting right away. Highly recommend Emma for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter!”


“It was such a wonderful experience having Vanessa watch Mochi at our house for us! We knew from the first moment at the meet-and-greet that Mochi would be well taken care of and we came home to a very happy pup. Vanessa took her out for walks as requested, sent us great photo updates, and cuddled with her while we were gone. Mochi was genuinely sad when we got home because Vanessa had to leave, and I think that says a lot about their bond! We will definitely ask Vanessa to house sit for us again!”


About: I've had cats since I was very young, so I'm very familiar with cat behavior. I'm comfortable providing enrichment, feeding, keeping the litter box clean, etc. I'm also experienced with guinea pigs. I helped care for an elderly guinea pig who was blind with arthritis, which required regular medication. I'm familiar with keeping cages clean, feeding, etc. For cat sitting, I usually stop by either in the morning or evening at approximately the same time for the duration of the trip. I'll make sure that they're fed, the litter box is scooped, and provide some enrichment time. For guinea pigs, I prefer to board them at my home since they require regular fresh vegetables at least twice a day. For guinea pigs, I prefer to board them at my home since they require regular fresh vegetables at least twice a day. I'll usually feed in the morning and evening. For cats, since they tend to take time to adjust to new places, I prefer to keep them at their home and either visit 1-2x per day or housesit.

“Julia, is awesome! She is kind, intelligent, trustworthy and loves my dog Achilles (and his feelings are most certainly mutual)! We have been through several sitters/ facilities to find the right fit for our boy and hit a home run in finding Julia. She sent regular (unsolicited) pupdates (sorry for the terrible pun) and pics. Achilles could not have been happier to have found a playmate that loves him as much as he does her! Dogs are great judges of character (that’s why all dogs like me!) and he trusts Julia 100%, as do we!”


“Matisse was wonderful and a fantastic communicator. This was the first time using an in home sitter and we didn't quite know what to expect. Matisse set the bar very high! Our dogs were well taken care of and she left our apartment sparkling clean. We would absolutely recommend her!!”


“Michael was amazing. He was responsive, he took care of both of my two big dogs on short notice and he sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout his stay. Also he left my house beautifully clean. Thank you so much again Michael!!!!”


“I would highly recommend Anna for any of your pet sitting needs. She was super responsive, sent great pictures and updates, and patient when our wifi router happened to die while we were out of town. Our dog loved her and had a blast.”
