1. Erin S.
“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”
2. Stacey E.
“Stacey did a fabulous watching our 2 anxious pit mixes and our cat. She sent regular updates and photos of all the pets. Our cat, Sherlock has been known to hide with pet sitters but he was sitting on her lap nightly which just shows what a great sitter she is. Definitely will be rebooking with her! Came home and the pets were happy and the house looked fabulous!”
3. Caitlin M.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Caitlin! My pup hurt her leg before our trip and Caitlin was super flexible and helpful. She kept me updated each day! We feel lucky to have found Caitlin and will definitely be asking her to watch Luna again!!”
4. Ruslan A.
“Rus was maybe the best pet sitter we've ever had for our precious boys. He was so communicative, upbeat, engaging, and took his responsibilities very seriously but still made it fun for us and our dogs! Rus stayed with our two dogs (one a senior and one 3-yrs. old) for sixteen days in our home while we went overseas. Although this was our first time to hire Rus, I knew at our meet and greet he was going to be amazing and he showed me everyday why he's a 5-star sitter! Which is why it's so easy to give him the highest rating possible here and a rave review for how well he cared for our dogs like they were his own. If you can get him, I give him my full endorsement and will be hiring him again!”
5. Olivia N.
“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”
6. Ashlyn Z.
“I couldn't be happier with Ashlyn watching my pets! My dogs seemed so relaxed and content when I got home. My cat is always stressed when we return from vacation, and she was so happy spending the weekend with Ashlyn, it seemed like we never left. I was especially impressed when she was able to give antibiotics to one of my dogs at the last minute. Her flexibility and care were truly appreciated. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
7. Haley K.
“Super communication and care of the pups! House was calm and clean when we returned. We were able to travel with an eased mind while she was there.”
8. Ellie V.
“Ellie did an amazing job looking after our pup and house while we were away. She sent pictures or videos each day of things Willy was doing and places they were walking. When we arrived back home, everything was clean and tidy in our house. Looking forward to having Ellie here again!”
9. Lori B.
“Lori was great! She was careful to follow all my instructions and gave my pets lots of attention. Got lots of pictures! And she left my house clean.”
10. Kayla H.
“Kayla was great to work with! She met my senior dog ahead of time and was very responsive leading up to the housesit. While I was gone she gave me updates on how my dog was doing. There was one minor incident with food my dog had gotten in to that she let me know about and had taken care of. When I got back my dog was happy and my house was in pristine condition. I could not have had a better experience and highly recommend Kayla for any pet/house sitting jobs!”
11. Nicholas I.
“Nick is a very trustworthy and responsible person and he loves animals. He is great with all animals, but especially dogs due to his love of the outdoors.”
12. Kristy F.
“Kristy Petsat my 2 month old puppy for 9 hours while I was at work. She was easy to get a hold of all throughout the day and took wonderful care of Pooka, cleaning up a few accidents, taking her on potty breaks, and staying around the house so she didn't have to be in her kennel for long periods. She even said Pooks played with her and got tired out, which is amazing because she's still quite skittish around people. I couldn't be happier with the care and highly recommend Kristy.”
13. Bree M.
“Bree was awesome! She sent pictures of Abbey while we were away. Came home to a well taken care of home! I would highly recommend Bree! It was our first time leaving our pet and home to someone! But loved it! Abbey was happy and our home was taken care of. Bree was so respectful of our home!”
14. Kirsten J.
“Kirsten took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town and kept us updated about everything (as needed) while we were gone. Our dog is high energy and Kirsten was diligent to be sure he got all the exercise and care he needed. She really has a passion for animals and it shows! As an added bonus, she left our house spotless which was not necessary but so kind. Thank you Kirsten!!”
15. Soleil S.
“Delightful human who likes my dogs, and they like her! She plays, walks, and works with them. Miracle of miracles they both sit at the same time long enough for her to get a picture!🤣”
16. Alex C.
“Thank goodness Alex is in Kansas City! She went above and beyond taking care of Lady, my Basenji (a notoriously stubborn breed), and my apartment while I was away–AND she stayed an extra night when my flight got canceled. When you meet her you’ll see for yourself, she’s a great, kind, caring person and I absolutely plan to book her again.”
17. Ella K.
“Ella did an amazing job with my dogs! She kept me updated with lots of photos of them on walks, playing and getting back scratches and belly rubs.”

20. Samantha M.
“Not only is Samantha a great cat mom to two of her own little fur babies, but she’s an incredible sitter for friends and family too! She has taken very good care of my cat on numerous occasions, making sure to feed her on-time, play with her, and give her lots of love and cuddles.”
