1. Regan M.

“I can’t talk her up enough!! She even helped care for my puppy after her spay. She takes care of my dog 3x a week and is dependable and very flexible.”


2. Hannah K.

“I can't recommend Hannah enough as a pet sitter! As a busy professional, I often travel for work, and finding someone trustworthy to take care of my two cats, Torti and Simon, was a priority. One of my cats needs regular medication, and both are very friendly and used to lots of attention. Hannah has been amazing with them. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Every time I come back, Torti and Simon are happy and well cared for. Knowing Hannah is taking care of them allows me to travel with peace of mind. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”


3. Carol N.


“Carol was very responsive and handled her visits well; in attending to the details of her visits. My dog took to her right away and they had a good time. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands and would highly recommend her.”


4. Lauren F.

“Lauren took such wonderful care of our dog! She provided great updates every visit and it was a comfort to know our pet was being cared for by her. Highly recommend!”


5. Linnea M.

“Linnea is the real deal! She did drop in visits for our almost two year old pittie Lucy and I could not have asked for a more capable and professional person for the job. An added bonus is that she loves to teach dogs new commands in addition to caring for them and showing them love. Linnea was spectacular and a high recommend!”




6. Natalie D.

“Natalie did a great job watching my nervous cat Luna! She gave me daily updates on how Luna was warming up to her and included some cute pics. Definitely recommend!”


7. Annie B.

“Annie was INCREDIBLE!! My kitty, Helen, absolutely loved her. Annie thought of everything and she was so great to work with. HIGHLY recommend!!”


8. Tessa B.
“Tessa has a very big heart and a very soft spot in it for dogs and cats. She has been an incredibly loving and caring pet parent, a wonderful sister to our family's beagle and a terrific friend who often watches pets belonging to her friends and colleagues. Any dog would consider themselves lucky to be in her care.”


9. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer is the most reliable dog sitter I ever had. Her flexibility was extremely beneficial for our family to leave our furry families with her when we were out of town. Whoever hires Jennifer would feel will enjoy stress-free time away.”




10. Dmitra G.

“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”


11. Gianna D.

“We had Gianna drop in for our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. We knew the boys were in good hands with her! She is so communicative and sends great updates. 10/10!”


12. Heaven S.

“Heaven was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a better fur friend and sitter for my fur baby. Since the moment she met her she was so sweet and attentive to my cat that my cat immediately felt comfortable with her. She was great at communicating and from the pictures I could tell me baby was feeling so loved in Heaven’s company. She got good play time in and Heaven was also great at attending to a rash my cat was developing on her ear. I’d highly recommend Heaven and would absolutely book her again. My cat has a new best friend ?”


13. Ashley M.


“Amazing service and (p)updates from Ashley. She handled my two husky-mixes like a pro and made sure to make me feel comfortable about her own safety protocols and expectations if anything had gone wrong (which luckily it didn't!). She even cleaned up the one accident that occurred and let me know about it. All around 10/10 will trust my pups to her again!”


14. Tiffany M.

“We were very pleased with Tiffany once again during the 5 days that she cared for our orange cat Nuggy! She was punctual on her daily drop-ins, provided quality playtime and cared for all the necessities. We highly recommend her.”


15. Kimberly S.

“Kimberly was an amazing pet sitter! She really went above and beyond. I’m so lucky to have come across her profile before my trip. She was so caring for my cat Nessie and my cat loved her! It’s such a relief to find a trustworthy sitter like her. I can’t recommend her enough.”


16. Emily S.
“I have known Emily for for about 15 years as well as her family. She has always had such a soft spot in her heart for animals and I have seen the way she cares for them, providing for them and always attentive to their needs. She has always exhibited kindness, love and is very knowledgeable about them as she has so much experience with them. Emily would be my first pic to look after any of my animals if I were away or needed assistance with them.”


17. Lillian V.

“Lillian is simply the best. She has such a wonderful and caring demeanor, our cat loves her, and she was instrumental in the health and recovery of our furball - we absoutley cannot recommend her enough.”


18. Lauren D.

“Rusty warmed right up to her”


19. Ellie & Quinn M.

“Ellie was great with Joules, and took very good care of her while we were away! Joules took to her immediately, and always looked happy in the pictures Ellie sent!”


20. Taylor P.
“Taylor is extremely compassionate when it comes to any type of animal. She grew up with a dog having health issues in which she was very involved with his care; giving daily medicine twice a day, taking him for walks, meal prep, and always making time to give plenty of hugs! She also has experience taking care of other pets in the neighborhood including dogs, cats and turtles. I strongly recommend Taylor for being a reliable, trustworthy and caring person to care for your furry friends.”
