“Alexandra was such a gem! She sat for my new puppy and did a meet and greet before hand. I completely trusted her to watch after pepper and keep me informed while I was away.”

“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”

“We had a fantastic experience with Iraklii as our dog sitter over the 4th of July weekend. He stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our two dogs, keeping them happy, calm, and secure while we were away.

Iraklii was incredibly kind, warm, and gentle with the dogs—and he left our home just as clean as we left it. You can tell he truly cares. We highly recommend him!”

About: I helped take care of our family dog for the 15 years we had him. Taking him on walks, getting him to eat when he wouldn’t, giving him baths, playing with him. From his high energy puppy days to his lazier, calmer senior days. I’ve stayed at friends homes for 2 days up to 2 weeks to take care of their dogs while they are away! I work from home a few days a week and would love to take your pup out for a little break! I have more availability in the evenings and on weekends. I will always be respectful or yours and your dog’s home. I hope to have open communication with you about your dog’s needs, what you are looking for in a sitter/dog walker, and how I can create a safe, trusting and enjoyable environment!
“Amelia was fantastic with our dog Gatsby, she instinctively knew what to do and how to look after her. she also sent an update and photos which I was grateful for. Would definitely recommend Amelia for taking care of your dog and would love to have her hanging out with Gatsby again.”
“Such a great caregiver, so grateful we found Craig. He provided us with plenty of updates with photos and our Alfie even got massages. Highly recommend”
“Franki was amazing!! This was our first time leaving our little Auggie, so it gave us great peace of mind, knowing that he was in good hands. Franki was extremely thorough with how the days were going, and would send lots of pictures. Auggie has an unusual feeding schedule, but Franki was able to handle it with no problem. I could tell our Auggie really enjoyed his time with her. I wish she didn’t have to go back to school, because it is so hard to find good trustworthy care. We will definitely be reaching out again if she is in town. we cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our little baby. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sabrina is such a sweetheart! She was perfect for our puppy. It was the first time we left him with a stranger and she made us feel totally at ease. Our puppy loved her and I'm so grateful we met her!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Alia to house sit my corgi, Beau. He loves her, she’s amazing with him, she’s dependable and she truly cares about the pets she’s taking care of. All of the care instructions for Beau were followed and she went above and beyond to make sure he was having fun. I will book with her again in the future.”
“Mary did a terrific job watching my dog Kobe. He is older (13) and she is great at managing his medications, playing with him, and taking him on several walks each day to get exercise. Kobe really enjoys his time with her, and I've already re-booked her for additional stays. Mary is very responsible and communicative with me while I'm away - I don't worry about Kobe when Mary is with him!”
