“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!”
“K is fantastic! They communicated proactively and took plenty of pictures while I was away. I came home to a very happy and well cared for puppy”
“Lyv did an awesome job watching our dog for us. She sent us pictures and a cute video of her running around and helped us know she was in great hands! We'd definitely have her sit for us again.”
“Valeria has been-by far-the best dog sitter for my boy Charlie. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She also immediately bonded with Charlie and knew how to take such good care of him. She gave multiple updates throughout the day and sent me the best photos and videos. Thank you so much Valeria, you are a gem!!”
“We can not say enough good about Luis and the care he took of our two pets: Baloo (a 4 year old hound dog) and Soupbelly ( a 8 month ish old kitten). We were out of the country for a little over three weeks in which Luis attended to every need of both pets. In addition to the usual care, he also took Baloo to nearby off leash parks, which is his favorite thing to do. In addition to graciously sharing his bed with both pets he spoiled them with treats and outings and kept us up to date with lots of pictures, which were so appreciated. Being so far away, it was a relief to know our pets were so well cared for and loved in our absence. And last but not least, he took great care of our house which was an added bonus!”
“Tommy was a fantastic sitter for Pearl while I was away! They were very responsive to my texts and I got plenty of updates throughout my trip. Pearl got ton of attention and cuddles and Tommy was very neat and kept the house tidy. I’ll definitely have Tommy care for Pearl again in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have been taking care of my friends and families dogs the past 5 years. I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I am a full time social worker with a hybrid role which means I’m home a lot during the week even when I’m working. I always have weekends off and am available to take care of pets pretty much every weekend. I offer at home services and can easily stop by multiple times a day to provide food, walks, and all the pets necessary to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. Also open to house sit if 24/7 care is needed.
“Tori was great with Otis! We came home to a happy dog and house that looked great - can't ask for anything more! Need to firm up dates for our next trip ASAP so we can see if Tori is available.”
About: For nearly my entire life I have taken care of my two dogs, Eddie and Shorty. Between raising them as puppies and taking care of Shorty in his later years, I have had the pleasure in taking care of my dogs. Over the years I have helped sit and take care of guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and many other pets! No matter the animal, I treat them with love just as if they were my own. I can walk or watch your pets any weekday! As for overnight sitting, the same applies. I work part time in politics so I should almost always be able to fill your requests. I can provide care to your pets in your home when needed! If given with instructions on how to take care of your pets, I can accommodate to all of you and your pets needs.
“We are incredibly grateful to Ailise for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Pepe, over a long weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals, and she treated Pepe with so much love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pepe felt comfortable and happy in her care. Ailise was also extremely respectful of our home and she went above and beyond to ensure things were just as we left them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Ailise to look after Pepe again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Jainah was great with my pup! She was responsive and totally on top of his care, including meds. It was great getting updates while I was out of town and she made sure to keep me informed when she was heading out. Would definitely recommend and use Jainah in the futute!”
“Eryn was very responsive and gave me lots of updates! She communicated very well and it was a pleasure having her take care of Dolly. I highly recommend her.”
“Nile was wonderful! He was super easy to communicate with before and during our trip, took fantastic care of Frances, and left the apartment spotless. And, of course, he sent great photos. Well definitely ask him to watch Frances again!”
“If you're reading this, stop and book Alyssa for your pet care needs. Alyssa checks in, provides much needed pictures of your furry family members, and asks all the important questions to ensure your pet is acting as per usual when you're away. She made being away from home much less stressful and for that I'm so incredibly grateful. If Alyssa is available, she's my go to for the next time Oliver needs someone to hang with him while I'm away.”

“Having Sarah stay at our house with our dogs was such a huge lifesaver! It gave us such peace of mind leaving the dogs in their environment with someone who would love them like we do. Sarah sent us texts every day with an update and pictures. She also took out our trash, watered our plants, and kept our house tidy. We couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!”
“Alice was wonderful with Minnie and Ernie! She was very respectful of our house and the dogs loved spending time with her. I would absolutely use Alice again when we go out of town.”
