“Emily was so great with my cat! She paid a lot of attention to his behaviors and I could see he was having a good time when she sent update photos. We booked her for housesitting, and she did a perfect job. Would recommend her!”


“We found Jalina on Rover, and needed both a housesitter (water plants, take in mail, etc.) as well as taking care of our pup, Ceci who is used to having some work from home and gets anxious in new spaces. Jalina was exceptional in the lead up to the stay; after a 30min video call to get to know each other and review the space (and the pup), we sent over a reference document in advance with specifics, which she reviewed promptly (and had questions on). We had an hour-long visit a few days in advance, split between going for a walk and going over the fiddly house items, which was great. On the day of departure, she arrived promptly, got settled in, and we went to the airport. We got daily updates on the dog, and Ceci seemed to have a lovely time with her, in her own space and her own routine; Jalina made sure she was very well cared for! Due to a delayed flight, we didn’t have any crossover of us getting back and her leaving, but we coordinated via messaging (super prompt) and we came back to our space just as we left it. Based on this stay with us, we’d recommend Jalina to anyone!”

“Yeji was super responsive with us and very kind to our beagle - playing fetch, following her feeding schedule, and being attentive to her. Our doggo can be anxious but was in good hands with Yeji!”

About: I grown up in a household that has always had dogs. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their pets since I was 12. I miss taking care of my parents dog, so I would love to take care of yours! I am active so I would love to take your pet on walks or play in the park. I have a fenced in yard and near plenty of parks, and am very aware of my surroundings inside and outside. I work remotely Wednesday through Friday and can schedule walks or sittings around my job. I am also available weekends at any time if day. Im Amanda, lover of all pets young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, even to a play day at the park. I have a pet friendly apartment and a yard. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy.
“We had a great experience working with Arshneel for the first time while we were just away for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable and responsive and gave our large, energetic dog plenty of exercise time!”

“Maya was an excellent dog sitter for Clancy! It was clear that Maya wanted to ensure Clancy was comfortable and made sure to follow his routine. She asked plenty of questions to get to understand Clancy’s needs, what he enjoyed to do, and how best for him to interact with other dogs/people. She also provided regular updates to let me know Clancy was having a great day with lots of plays, walks and naps. Clancy and I would highly recommend Maya for anyone who is looking for a sitter.”

“Eveline did a great job housesitting while we were away for the weekend! Anika was very well taken care of, and the house was exactly how we left it. Great communication and great instincts with an older, slightly needier dog.”

“Hassana is a great house sitter. She had a great time with the dogs, sent pics daily, they might’ve had more fun with her than they do with us! We also trust her judgment as she dealt with one dog having upset stomach and a bit of flooding in the basement—fortunately nothing serious but we appreciated her calm professionalism and communication. We will definitely have her again.”

“Tanya did a great job taking care of Oreo and keeping me updated over a longer stay. She showed great respect for my home and took feedback and adjustments well when my dog was showing signs of distress. I hope to work with her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Florence! I'm a licensed real estate agent, so I'm used to being trusted with other people's homes. Dogs have been part of my life since I was seven. I fostered many dogs in NYC (and adopted one), fostered in Boston too, and adopted a rescue five years ago. I also regularly look after friends' dogs and cats when they travel. I love house sitting because pets are happiest in their own space with their usual routine. I'll stick to their schedule and send plenty of photo updates. When I house sit, I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, keep things tidy, and watch for anything that needs attention. I have a very flexible schedule both weekly and weekends. I can definitely stay overnight - I understand pets need and like to be home as much as possible. I will keep to your pets’ routine as much as possible. I know that all pets hate their routine to be broken. Each pet is different so I will cater to each pets needs.
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience with a house sitter! From start to finish, Natalie was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and proactive. She kept us updated throughout our trip with sweet notes and photos which brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter and when we returned home, everything was spotless. It was clear Emmy was well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone so dependable and kind. Highly recommend without hesitation!”


About: I didn’t grow up with a pet (only fish) but I’ve played with and taken care of dogs and cats for friends/family for years. Currently on a career break and I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment so looking to fill some time playing with and walking dogs. Open to cats as well! I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk your pets (for dogs), feed them, take them out for potty breaks, play with them and anything else that make them feel safe and happy while their owners are away! I’m happy to keep your pets company however suitable for them so that they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’ll take time to get to know each of your pets and their routine, personality, needs, and make sure to follow your instructions.
“Madeline is a great communicator and easy to schedule with. She was very attentive towards our pets and really cared for them. She’s very flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate us within a short period of notice.”

“Anna was excellent with our two very different dogs. She was able to comfort our more anxious dog and get him to eat, and she was able to calm our more energetic dog! Would definitely recommend and will rebook”

Emily was great as always! She stayed with our puppy for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Knowing that Charlie was in such good, responsible hands really put our minds at ease -- and Emily was great about keeping us connected with loads of pictures along the way.
This was the first time we left our skittish rescue dog with a non-family member and it couldn't have gone better. Lindsy came over to meet and get to know our dog Lizzie prior to house-sitting for two nights. Everything went swimmingly between them. Lindsy sent photos and texts throughout the weekend that put our minds totally at ease. We returned to a tidy house and a very content dog. We will definitely book Lindsy again!
Hassana took a good care of my 11 year old boston terrier Zoe! Hassana was very responsive and provided regular updates (with great pictures) about Zoe during my 10 day trip abroad. Zoe had a lot of great walks with her! She also kept my apartment neat and tidy during her housesitting. I feel comfortable leaving Zoe with Hassana!

Elle is amazing! She has been taking our dog for lunchtime walks when we’re in the office for a few weeks and she recently also watched her over the weekend. Our dog is very anxious of streets and loud noises, and Elle has been so patient and kind with her to help ease her nerves. She understands dog body language very well, is attentive to detail, and always provides the best updates! When we were away for the weekend, we received updates each morning, afternoon, and evening (plus some other updates!) with lots of pictures and details of how the day was going. Elle is super sweet, respectful, sensitive, and an amazing/transparent communicator. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!

Sasha was so wonderful with our senior girl! Even though our pup was a little shy and anxious at the beginning of the stay, she quickly warmed up to Sasha, who was so sweet and patient with her. Sasha gave us tons of updates and photos and left the house in great shape! Highly recommended!

Polina is an amazing pet-sitter! She always takes such great care of our senior dog and two senior cats. Each of them has a complicated set of medications and Polina handles it amazingly. And she always goes the extra mile caring for our pets and our house. Thank you, Polina!
