“Was great and easy to work with!”


“Mateo was a wonderful friend to our dog. He got along with her so well, and looked after her while we were away. We trust him, and would not hesitate to call on him again.”


“Natalie was an excellent pet sitter for my cat, Olivia. And she even did a meet & greet before, which was really helpful to show her around the apartment and introduce her to Olivia. That really made the process very smooth! Will definitely rebook”


“Nupur did an excellent job dropping in on our two cats. Our two cats are still being introduced and don’t yet get along and she cared for each the week we were away. She carefully followed our instructions and shared updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in great dependable hands.”


“A+++Review. Carolina loved and cared for our 3 dogs perfectly. She went above and beyond stone even taking them swimming everyday. Thank you Carolina!!🐾🦴”


“Dani is the best. She is extremely knowledgeable but does not judge us for our ignorance of all things puppy like many would (she puts up with so many dumb questions with a smile on her face). She has been more than a dogsitter; rather, she has been our guide through our first crack at puppy parenthood, and I am sure even dog veterans could learn a great deal from her. More importantly, our pup absolutely loves her.”


“Cristina was wonderful. She was very attentive to detail and was eager to walk and interact with our dog. She even went above and beyond to feed him extras well as clean up any messes. She is a professional, and will care for your pet as if it’s her own!”


“Leah took great care of my kitty while I was gone for 5 days. Will be rebooking next time I need a sitter! Thank you for giving her cuddles & lovins!!”



“Lindsey was absolutely amazing and our pup even seemed disappointed when it was us that walked through the door upon our arrival home from our trip. Lindsey was so responsive and thorough with the care of our 8 year old boxer. She took our dog on walks, played frisbee with her in the evenings and cuddled with her on the couch. We are so thankful for Lindsey and will be booking her again and again.”


“Burak was great! he was very communicative and super nice! he seems to get along with Cal very well and was easy to get in touch with and book everything!”


“Heaven is always amazing with my animals. This is my second time booking with her. Booking with her is super easy, she’s very communicative, and I haven’t had one issue with my stays. She is so sweet and makes sure that the pets are comfortable and cared for, as well as making sure owners minds are at ease. I would 100% trust her with any of my pets! Thank you Heaven 😊”


“Olivia is the person you want watching your cat/cats. I have two cats, one who loves people and one who doesn’t like anyone but me and the one that didn’t like anyone but me LOVED Olivia! My cat who loves people also didn’t have one noise complaint from my neighbors (who text me while I’m gone to usually tell me my cat is yelling out for me), but this time he was so well taken care of by Olivia for the small amount of time she dropped in, he didn’t feel the need to yell out for a human. Also, Olivia goes above and beyond. My laundry pods started leaking and she cleaned it up for me. She also vacuumed and swept when my cat got litter outside the litter box. She was very communicative and when I got trapped by a snow storm she was able to take an extra day. She was also flexible with pick up and drop off times with keys. She sends plenty of photos. I cannot recommend her enough. I am so picky with who I choose to watch my kitties and I don’t think I could have found anyone more perfect.”


“Sirius loved Nandini as soon as he met her! She is super responsive and helped me big time with a last minute request. I would definitely recommend her! 10/10!”


“Haley did an amazing job on drop in visits for my pup! She is very quick to communicate, thorough, and accommodating (my apartment is not the easiest to get into)! She definitely made my girl and I feel very comfortable, and will be booking with her again!!”

“Patsy is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and two parrot birds Not only are your pets given the best of care, but also her house was in amazing condition when we picked up our babies from her. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I need to never look for any other pet sitter or kennel ever again. I have found the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus!!!”
