Dani did an excellent job of pet sitting our puppy and cats for a just over a week. Loved seeing them all happy on the daily photos she forwarded to us. She kept me updated on them and did an impromptu trip to the vets for medication for one of my cats. Felt very happy they were all in good hands.

Christian took exceptional care of our dogs during our weekend work trip. He sent us daily picture updates and provided a detailed report chart of each dog’s behavior, including their eating habits, potty breaks, and overall attitude. His tidiness was evident as he left our house very clean. We highly recommend Christian’s services and would definitely rebook with him in the future!

Absolutely amazing sitter. She took incredible care of both our dog and my cat, and it showed the moment we got home they were calm, happy, and clearly well‑loved. She sent consistent updates, photos, and made sure we never had to wonder how they were doing. My dog can be a little anxious, and he bonded with her immediately. My cat, who’s usually picky about people, was obsessed with her. The house was spotless when we returned, the pets’ routines were followed perfectly, and she went above and beyond in every way. We will definitely book her again without hesitation.

I had such a great experience with Sara! She went above and beyond from the very start—arriving early and keeping Roux happily distracted while I took care of some last-minute trip details. It made my departure so much less stressful.Throughout the stay, she sent thoughtful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated—it was such a comfort to know Roux was in good hands. She was extremely responsible, paid close attention to all the details about Roux’s routines, feedings, and medications, and really listened to everything I shared. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!

We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She had great communication throughout our trip and always responded quickly to messages. She shared lots of photos of our dogs, which really helped me not miss them so much while we were away. She kept them on their usual walk, meal, and medicine schedule, and made sure they got plenty of playtime and attention. When we came home, the house was spotless and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I’d definitely hire her again for pet sitting or walks. Highly recommend!

Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.

Carolina is amazing. She took great care of Willy and went the extra yard to ensure that he was happy. We trusted her implicitly with two special assets: Willy and our home. She did not disappoint on either front. We are already on the list for 3 dates in the future. That in itself is the strongest recommendation that we can make.

Ellie is GREAT! She is super communicative, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was very patient with my two dogs for her weekend stay with them. One is a little nervous around people, and Ellie was very sweet with him and got him to open up and trust her. Would recommend to anyone and will def book again!

Lauren did a great job. She was super attentive to all of our animals and they loved her. Moving forward we can’t imagine using anyone else ever again. Usually when we come home our dogs are restless, this time around it was the exact opposite. She took them out on schedule and played with all of them regularly to keep them stimulated. If you need a sitter who truly loves animals, book Lauren, you won’t regret it.

She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!

Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!

Angelica was a dream sitter. She texted every day with updates, some days multiple times, just to set our minds and hearts at ease. We have two dogs with disparate temperaments and needs and she really nailed it with both of them -- keeping our high-energy 1-year-old blue heeler-mix on the move while letting our skittish pug-mix warm up slooowly. In the past I've had sitters who never made any connection or progress with our pug-mix during a 10 day stay away and I was really grateful to Angelica for being patient while still building a bond (not just giving up/being passive). We came home to our house just as we left it and she even picked up some. We are really grateful for her and would absolutely book her again.

We had an amazing experience with Sarah. She took excellent care of our precious pets, making sure they had daily walks and hugs and special treats. In addition, Sarah helped us so much by watering our container plants daily to keep them alive in the Houston heat. On a special note, when I had to undergo an emergency appendectomy while on vacation, Sarah was wonderfully compassionate and reassuring. She provided daily updates with photos and constantly reassured us that there was nothing to worry about at home and to just focus on healing from my health Emergency. We will definitely book Sarah for future trips and would recommend that you do too. Thank you Sarah!

Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!

I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took such great care of my dog while I was away. He’s usually quite nervous around new people, but he took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout my trip. She sent plenty of updates and photos, so I always knew he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also treated my home with so much care. I came back to a spotless apartment, and she had even washed and changed the bed sheets, which was such a thoughtful touch after travelling. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of both my dog and my home.
