“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”
“Audrie stayed with my kitty for a few days and she was absolutely wonderful. She is super sweet and communicated well, sending pictures everyday. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Arshneel was so great with Rhubarb! She sent updates with photos and videos (which we love!) and was communicative about Rhubarb. We asked ahead of time the best way to care for Rhubarb given the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a very clean apartment and happy dog, and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jean and Tom L. House sitting - August 15, 2025 Five Stars. Lauren was outstanding. She took exceptional care of Our Bischone, Rosie. It was the first time we had a non-family member watch our dog. Rosie is very skittish and anxious around people she does not know. However, Lauren took great care to set Rosie at ease. We highly recommend Lauren and are planning to book her again.”
“Alexandra stayed with our 6 month old pup, Ray, for two days while we visited the Cape. Ray has an abundance of energy and, given his young age, requires a lot of time outdoors on walks and exploring. Alexandra was accessible, easy to talk to, and very committed to keeping us looped in via text (updates, pictures, and videos). We were grateful that Alexandra came over for short visits twice prior to coming to stay with Ray. This way, he was already a bit familiar with her and so were we. We feel very fortunate to have connected with her and plan to use her services again in the future. Would highly recommend her to family, friends, and people in our community.”
“Anastasia responded to my booking with less than an 24 hour notice. She immediately responded and made time to meet my pup Clem within an hour of booking! She was very communicative while I was away and made sure to send lots of updates throughout her stay. She’s dog and human approved!!”
“Volkan took great care of our anxious senior pup. He shared updates and photos that put us at ease while we were away. And he left our house cleaner than it was when he arrived!”
“Haowen is the best! He took amazing care of our yellow lab, taking him for many long walks, playing frisbee, and cuddling with him on cold December nights. I know all this because he sent me dozens of pictures every day for the whole week he was at our house. He left the house in perfect condition and even watered the plants. He even emailed in the middle of the night when our lab had some leg pain. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! I had only ever left my cat, Rajah, with close friends or family so I was so so nervous to hire someone. Jennifer put my mind at ease immediately. She was so communicative and kept me updated several times/day with his behavior, meals, sleep habits, and litter box cleanings. I know Rajah had a great time! She gave him a ton of attention, which is exactly what he needs. Jennifer left the apartment in great shape when she left, so it made my life so easy and stress free when I came home from a busy work trip. I would absolutely love to have her back to watch Raj again!”
“We loved Skylar! She was friendly and playful with our puppy while providing frequent potty breaks to prevent accidents in the house during his potty training experience. Would definitely use her again!”
“Sergio is always so amazing with Summer! We are so grateful he had time to come hangout with her while we went out for the night. He keeps you constantly updated and overall does such an amazing job! We will continue to book with him!”
“Eryn did an amazing job with my Cooper who is a nut job! He has a lot of anxiety and it was the first time I left him alone with a stranger, but she accommodated all of his special needs and sent lots of updates.”
“Andrew was fantastic. He sat for Cooper at our place for 4 days and did a great job caring for our pup, administering meds, and taking care of the house. Thanks!”
“Fahad did a great job house sitting for me while I was out of town. He took care of my senior cat and senior dog very well. I received lots of photos and constant communication.”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Though I cannot afford my own dog right now, I am always looking to hang out with dogs any chance I can get! My roommate has a Bernese Mountain Dog who is the most mellow, sweetest pup ever (she is 8 months old). I assist in feeding her, walking her, playing with her, and just keeping her company as my roommates schedule is more demanding than mine. I love going for long walks, (or runs), playing fetch, and just keeping dogs company. I think I am a great candidate due to my experience with animals and my love for them. I am excited for the day that I can provide a home to my own dog!
“Kristina went above and beyond taking care of my senior dog Jazzy. She sent lots of photos and updates everyday. When we met before booking, she took notes during our conversation, which demonstrated how she is a detail oriented person. I left her a 2-3 page document with instructions about Jazzy’s routine and my apartment. She followed the instructions very closely and everything went perfectly! It was a huge relief to know Jazzy was in the care of an amazing person while I was away. For anyone with senior dogs, you can be assured that Kristina will give your pup the care they need (but for dogs of all ages too)! ☺️🐾 I would certainly hook her again!”
“Shantae is great. She took very good care of my little doggie. She is also very responsible and followed all the instructions I provided pertaining to the dog. I fully recommend her.”
“Masiel was friendly and came over a few days before the booking to meet our dog. She got along well with our dog and took him for several walks. She kept us updated with photos and videos. She also kept the house clean. We would definitely book her again. Thank you!”
“Destinee was wonderful with Brutus. She sent me pictures so I could see he was happy and cared for. She also left my house just as it was before she came. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
About: I am a college student who majors in Biomedical Sciences and plans to attend veterinary school after graduation. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was young, and have helped care for my own dog since childhood. My passion for animal care has been my motivation to pursue a future in veterinary medicine. Along with caring for my own dogs, I have had experience with dog sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities while making sure they are happy, safe, active, and well cared for. I am currently a college student home for summer break, and I am looking for part-time work. I am available almost every day until August 1st. I will be home again for Thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. When caring for pets in my client's home, I would follow the pet's normal routine and follow any additional instructions my client has left me while playing and caring for their pet.

Alicia was absolutely fantastic and outstanding! She took the time to meet Doxy and Sammie and was very comprehensive in reviewing all their routine needs and habits. She bonded very well with our dogs and sent us photos that made us smile, being reassured that they were in great hands. When I returned home, the dogs were very relaxed and happy. We are so thankful and appreciative to have Alicia’s help with dog sitting and highly recommend her without any reservations. She is truly the best! Thank you so much, Alicia, for taking great care of Doxy and Sammie!
Ian's dog sitting was excellent. He is really knowledgeable on dog behavior, and he's highly personable. My dog, Sully, loved him right away. Ian followed all my instructions and kept me updated as I requested. He also gave Sully lots of love, attention, and companionship-- ultimately going above and beyond regular dog sitting duties. He is my sitter again anytime for Sully in the future.
Melissa was awesome! She’s a professional and I could tell she had a lot of experience. She came by for a brief meet and greet before her stay and my dog immediately took a liking to her. I came home to a happy puppy! I will happily reach out to Melissa again in the future
River was able to come and watch our dog for just the evening on semi short notice after he was recovering from surgery. As always she was prompt, communicative and dependable! Wally was so excited to see her and was snuggled up with her all night. Will always recommend her services to anyone looking to hire her!
Colleen was amazing! She spent the weekend with our dog Sage. She sent plenty of updates with tons of pictures. I was a little nervous Sage wouldn't want us to come home. :) They went on lots of walks and did plenty of cuddling. I feel like my house just might have been cleaner than I left it. We are already scheduling our next getaway with Colleen!
We’ve now booked with Audrie twice and she is truly a 10/10 sitter. She stays in our home with our cat and 1-year-old lab, and we always come back feeling like everything was in the best hands. She sends regular updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away, and she’s great about flagging anything out of the ordinary right away. What really stands out is how intuitive and genuinely caring she is with animals. Our puppy actually went into heat the night we were coming home, and she stayed a few extra hours to comfort her and make sure everything was okay- that meant so much to us. You can just tell she truly loves what she does. As an added bonus, she leaves the house spotless, which is the best feeling after coming home from a trip. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her!
Heaven is absolutely fantastic. My dogs love her, and one of them was an abused rescue dog, so she is very nervous of new people. She loved Heaven right away. My two pugs also instantly felt comfortable with her and she gave them lots of cuddles. We went to Europe for a long time so it was important to is to really trust someone. Out digs have very complicated diets and daily medications. Heaven handled all of that perfectly. She is professional, kind and a great communicator. She is an Awesome pet sitter, and trustworthy in the home.
