“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!”
“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”
“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.”
“Victoria (Rev) did a fantastic job and I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. She was easy to communicate with prior to & during her stay and sent frequent updates and pictures of the pups. She stayed in my home & left it very clean- She even took out the trash which I didn’t expect her to do annd appreciated. My pups are kind of high maintenance (2 Maltese) & Rev did a fantastic job taking care of them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Sarah provided phenomenal house sitting care for our anxious dog. She was very reliable and responsive and calmed our nerves with multiple photos and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn't have asked for a sweeter and more caring sitter than Claudia!! Our fur-baby is our angel and she absolutely ADORED Claudia the moment she met her - my heart overflowed with relief and happiness knowing Claudia would be caring for her. Thank you for everything, Claudia!!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!!!!”
“Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)”
“Julia took excellent care of my dog (and condo!) while my husband and I were out of town. She proactively made sure she knew all of the details needed for his care and comfort ahead of my trip. She also sent me great updates throughout so I knew he was safe and happy. My dog was in good spirits when we got home so I am very confident he was taken stellar care of! We are thrilled with his care and would highly recommend Julia as a dog sitter!”
“Belkis was great with our dog Theia. We had a bad experience with a sitter in the past, and she made us feel very assured that our old dog was in good hands. She sent updates and pictures, and was very flexible with our schedule. We will certainly reach out to her for future stays.”
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.
“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!”

Eleanor has now watched my cats a few times and each time I am so appreciative of the excellent care she provides! I was gone for a longer trip and the cats were so comfortable and happy with Eleanor! I received cute updates and photos, the flat was well taken care of! Cannot give my thanks and praise enough!
Katie did a wonderful job, taking care of our (very anxious) dog and two cats while we were gone for the weekend. She met with us the week before to go over all the information and she was great sending pictures/videos while we were gone. We returned home to a house that was cleaner than we left it, which is always a wonderful surprise. I would not hesitate to have Katie care for our crew again.
Ailise did a wonderful job housesitting with my cavapoo Freddie over the long weekend! She sent great updates, videos, and photos of my boy, and I felt confident that he was safe in her care. She left my apartment in great condition. I highly recommend Ailise and would definitely book with her again! Thank you :)
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.
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
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.
