“Danyel was an amazing sitter for our 5 month old kitten bmo! She stopped by multiple times to get to know him + his schedule and familiarize herself with the place before we went away. While we were away Danyel sent us daily feeding pictures and other pictures with a few updates on how he was doing. It really helped us feel that he was safe and loved while we were away. Bmo is obsessed with her and we can’t wait to book her again!”

“Our 2nd booking with Tracey and just as perfect as our first. She is wonderful with our dogs and a great communicator. Additionally she cares for not only our dogs as if they are her own, but also our home. We are so thankful for her!”


“Stacey was awesome with Luffy during our short trip. Based on the many photos she sent us, it was obvious that he enjoyed her company. Highly recommend her for overnight stays.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Sophia. The first time I met her, she just was full of positive energy and kindness. Her love and passion for dogs is obvious! I consider my dog, Jack, my fourth child. He's my baby, so leaving him when I go out of town is especially tough. Knowing he's with Sophia gives me so much comfort. She treats him like he's her own, which makes me happy. While I was away, she fed him, took him on walks in the neighborhood and to the park. She bathed him, played chase with him, and brought special toys for him to play with, too. I received thorough updates and fun videos. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to take care of your sweet pet. Also, she asked a lot of questions, so she was comfortable with Jack's eating habits and schedule and daily routine. I will have no hesitation asking Sophia to take care of Jack again. And, I know he loves her, too!”

“Malia did an excellent job taking care of my dogs and birds. She was very affectionate with them, gave them total attention and left my house spotless to boot! She exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Malia!”

“Sejla did a stellar job caring for our 3 cats and puppy during our week away. She is very caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional. She has an innate way with animals, giving them a lot of attention and love. She kept us informed and sent pictures and updates every day which we loved. She cared for our fur-babies and our home like they were her own, and because we didn’t worry our vacation was that much better. Our pets love Sejla and so do we! We will be repeat clients for sure!!”

“Erika is professional, kind, responsible, and kept me updated on my pup while I was away. I had her stay at my home while I was away. She was clean and organized and make sure to send me pictures of my little guy. She was excellent and I highly recommend.”

“Michelle is awesome! She stayed at our house and watched our golden for the night. You can tell she’s loves pets and is so good with them and is really focused on taking care of them. Our dog really liked her snd they had some great adventures! There were lots of updates and pictures, which we loved. Highly recommend her!”

“Diana house sat for me with my dog Finn for a week. She was great with him. She also sent me frequent updates and photos which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Diana and will be a return customer!”

“Sydney, was so respectful, kind, and Koopa enjoyed his time with her. We appreciated the great updates, photos, and communication. Very grateful and will definitely be reaching out for future sittings.”

“Leslie was absolutely incredible and hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve had. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was to our dog, Mimo, and to our space throughout the holiday weekend. Not only was she prompt and communicative, but she went above and beyond to ensure Mimo was taken care of, and always sending great updates in the process. We’re looking forward to the next opportunity Leslie can watch again!”

“I always reach out to Yumi first to see if she is available to care for Kento. She has looked after him multiple times and consistently gives me complete peace of mind. Yumi is prompt in her communication, punctual, clean, caring, and always transparent. She often goes the extra mile in ways I don’t even think to ask, which speaks to her conscientiousness and attention to detail. I trust her so fully that I sometimes realize I haven’t checked in as much as I normally would—because I know Kento is in excellent hands. The videos and photos she sends reassure me that Kento is not only being cared for, but truly understood. She pays close attention to his spirit and mood and communicates with him in a way that is both thoughtful and intuitive. Without hesitation, Yumi is my go-to sitter whenever she is available, and I highly recommend her to any family seeking someone reliable, caring, and genuinely invested in animals well-being.”


“Courtney was the best! She's got great energy, the animals loved her, we got lots of pictures, and we came back to two very happy fur babies and a clean house. Thanks so much :D 10/10”

“Such an amazing sitter! I contacted Jaynee with very short notice and she got back to me within 5 min of me sending the message. She has been excellent in communicating, taking care of our babies and sending timely updates. Knowing our fur baby wasn’t feeling well when we left, we were glad Jaynee was there and felt very assured that my babies are in good hand. She was also super flexible in helping us adjusting our plans. Would 10/10 recommend Jaynee to any other dog/cat parents!!”

“Natalee took amazing care of our pup. We got regular updates, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. She took great care of our home and we look forward to having her back!”

One could not ask for much more with care for our 1 year old Chihuahua than Autumn provided. All boxes were checked after her care was complete. Very kind, attentive and communicative during the stay. We really appreciate her updates, photos and general care for our pup.

Michelle has been an absolutely WONDERFUL in home sitter for us. She was attentive and detail oriented during the meet and greet and clearly has a good sense of how to handle various temperaments in animals. She sent us updates twice daily and included several pictures making us feel like our guy was getting very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone!

Olivia was great while housesitting with our dog Gertie. She was communicative, sent the perfect number of pics and updates, and really respected the house. She spent a lot of quality time with Gertie and gave her the attention she needed during a busy holiday season. Would definitely book again. Highly recommend.

Coralee was wonderful to work with. She communicated well from first contact and sending updates and photos through making sure I'd made it home and was satisfied how she'd left my house. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I returned so I could tell they were well cared for. My trip was mostly off the grid for 5 days with very limited opportunities for contact, so trusting my sitter was important to me. Coralee has great energy and I felt very comfortable with her in my space caring for my pups.

Danyel was so patient with our anxious and quirky 2yr old rescue pup who isn’t great with change. She was prompt, conscientious and kept us updated with photos and videos on our pup’s wellbeing throughout our trip. Danyel is clearly experienced with all sorts of dogs and knew how to let our pup warm up to her and give him a bit of space to adjust to us being gone and trust her as his new caretaker. After just 2 days, he was playing, cuddling, and quite relaxed! She even began teaching him new commands to help with play like “drop it”. It was so nice to come back to a clean home and not have to worry, as Danyel had cleaned everything she used. We would definitely recommend her for house sitting your pets, especially if they are anxious or nervous, as she’s incredibly observant and patient.

Amelia took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was clearly happy, loved, and well cared for. Amelia is an exceptional sitter and we look forward to having her back again!
Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!
