“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative and punctual, and we really appreciated the photo updates she sent of our dogs while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and we’ll definitely be using her again the next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“What an amazing sitter! Took great care of my cat for multiple weeks, and put up with all of her behavioral quirks and sent me tons of photos and updates as well. I felt completely at ease and would absolutely book again. Thank you!”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing! We did a meet and greet before the weekend, which really put me at ease. She was super attentive, stuck to my pups schedule and gave her all the cuddles she wanted. My pup is strong and has a few quirks, but Chloe handled everything with so much patience and care. She most certainly knows how to handle strong dogs & has knowledge with reactivity and redirecting. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and I couldn’t be more grateful! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Eleanor did such an amazing job caring for the cats and the house while I was away for a week! The cats clearly trusted her and I loved the photos/check-ins I would get - really appreciate it so much!”
“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”
“Jackie was great and we loved having her watch our fur babies! She communicated well and sent daily photos, and we appreciated her care and attention especially during the heatwave! She is very caring and tidy; she did a great job housesitting. We’d love to have her pet-sit in the future.”
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
“Raegan did a great job house sitting our two dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend! They made time to do a meet and greet before the visit and were very reassuring that everything would be taken care of while we were gone. One of our dogs has a bit of stranger danger but warmed up quickly to Raegan. They left the house in better shape than we left it. We will definitely be asking them to watch our house again in the future!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and truly believe that our pets are part of the family, not just animals we care for. They are companions we love and build our lives around. I’m a structured, reliable caregiver who also brings a warm, playful energy to every dog I look after. Whether your dog is a high energy puppy, a steady adult, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages and personalities. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day, not just quick check ins. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable and at ease. Your dog will be staying in a true family home. We have a fenced in dog run for safe outdoor time. Four friendly resident dogs (2 small JRTs, 2 Labradors) who are well socialized and three dog loving kids (16, 8, 6) who understand how to respectfully interact with animals. Because of this, your dog will have a great mix of structure, play, and companionship, but I’m also very mindful of individual needs. If your dog prefers space, a slower introduction, or a quieter environment, I can absolutely accommodate that.
“Ailise was such a reliable pet and house sitter for our many pets! She kept us updated with photos and we felt confident our pets were in good hands! Will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Belkis was super communicative and helped us out in a last minute bind. We had no doubts Piper was in good hands, and she looked happy and snoozy from the long walks and park visits. I definitely recommend Belkis!”
“Luis and his wonderful wife Kimmy accepted my last-minute house-sitting request—I’m so grateful to them! They were warm and friendly, and my dog immediately warmed up to them! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”
“Cynthia was wonderful! She kept us regularly updated on the pups and did an amazing job with our older, more antisocial dog. Her attention to detail and care really made a difference, and we felt completely at ease while away. We'll definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Angie is the best ever!! Not only is she amazing with my puppy, but she also takes the best care of my space and I come home to a well taken care of pup and a spotless apartment! She also constantly keeps me updated throughout her stay which is amazing :)”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and have walked them for two years. I make sure they have a safe fun time. My schedule is pretty open so I am guaranteed to make sure your pet is well taken care of and having a fun safe time. In clients home I make sure that gates are closed to backyard. Make sure they aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to be in.
“Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!”

Stacy was absolutely wonderful sitting for my anxious and playful dog while I was out of town. She was highly communicative, flexible, and always went above and beyond. I could not recommend Stacy's services more highly and will surely count on them to watch my dog again in the future!
Katie did a great job. She took the time to get to know us, as well as Maisie and Jack and their routines. She made sure to do this before she came to care for them. Maisie and Jack are two senior pups and what they need most is comfort and companionship. It was clear that Katie offered them all of that and more. They were quite content when we came home, which is the best sign of success. Katie kept us posted during our trip with updates and funny videos that made us feel better about being away. The house was perfect and we stepped back in as if we never left. She was very thoughtful about everything. I hope that the next time we travel Katie is available again. Thank you Katie, you made our wonderful get-away worry-free!
Susannah was fantastic!! She was super responsive, sent lots of texts and photos, and I never worried about my dog at all, she always looked so happy and well cared for. This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter and I would call Susannah again every time!
Another 5-Star review for Yanira. Yanira is the best of the best. We have used her many times to dog sit our sheltie, Pepper, and she has always provided outstanding care. Our instructions are always followed, photos and updates are sent regularly, and our house is left immaculate when we return. We have complete peace of mind knowing Pepper is in such loving and reliable hands. Yanira is wonderful, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Yanira.
I can’t say enough great things about Ailise! She helped me out last minute this weekend, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely caring with my dogs. It was such a relief knowing my pups was in great hands while I was away. Ailise went above and beyond with updates, photos, attention to detail, and making sure my dogs felt loved the whole time. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treat them like family. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and I’m so grateful for the care and flexibility she provided on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!
Ella was very professional and responsive to my check ins while house sitting our two pups for 1 week. She sent me daily pictures and updates and saw my two pups literally cuddling with her on the couch which reassured me the dogs were in good care. She was also extremely respectful of my home and left the house in the same shape (if not a little cleaner) than when we left. My dogs and I definitely look forward to working with Ella again in the future
Lizzy, thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog and cats! You were very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and were super reliable throughout. We really appreciated it and felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Thank you!!!
Joanna took excellent care of our two dogs for a week while we were out of town. They settled right in with her, even our skittish newly adopted puppy, and she did a great job keeping us up to date with daily photos, notes, etc. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!
Chloe did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs (Nala, a one year old golden retriever and Maui, an almost six year old, lab mix) while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. One thing that really stood out was how quickly our dog Maui—who is usually very picky about people—gravitated toward her right away. That alone spoke volumes about Chloe’s calm, trustworthy presence and natural connection with animals. It’s obvious that Chloe genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and she treated ours like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. We are already thinking about leaving again so the dogs can hang out with Chloe.
