1. Emily H.

“Emily was so great with Odin! She took great care of him while we were out and he was sad to see her go! Definitely recommend as a sitter, and Odin would love to see her again!”


2. Sherylee C.

“Sherylee was super kind to us and our dog. She communicated throughout the day and provided pics. I would highly recommend Sherylee and look forward to having her watch our puppy again. Thank you!”


3. Sapphire D.

“Sapphire took great care of my pup Lilly while I was out of town for a long weekend! My regular sitter was sick, so I reached out with short notice right before a holiday, and Sapphire made it work! She was very responsive and communicative throughout, replying quickly to questions and making sure to check in about little things like feeding and departure time. She also took great care of the apartment and left everything tidy and neat. Thanks Sapphire, I will definitely be in touch when Lilly needs a sitter again!”


4. Charlie U.

“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”


5. Michael S.

“Michael is the BEST. He took care of our house and our cats with patience, humor, respect, and care. He sent photos, funny info, and kept us updated on their antics. A couple of things went wrong in the house while we were away (nothing to do with Michael) and he handled them with complete grace. I felt at ease while we were away and would not hesitate to hire Michael again. And again!! We recommend him 200%!!”


6. Keka O.

“We are so pleased with how Keka took care of our precious dog. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural gift with dogs. We received pics videos updates , she was on time for everything we asked of her . We really can’t recommend her enough , and look forward to calling her for our next trip. 5 stars all around . Thank you Keka !!!”


7. Alexandra D.

“Alexandra was just wonderful. She understood my cats and gave the best of care. She sent me pictures daily accompanied by funny tidbits about them. She stayed in my home for two weeks and when she left it looked exactly as it was when she arrived. I was so grateful for her superb care and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”


8. Candiance B.

“Candiance took amazing care of our elderly, attention-addicted cat while we were out of town, making sure she got her meds in and sending regular updates. She was also very gracious when our flight was delayed by several hours and we were late getting back.”


9. Caitlin B.

“Caitlin did an excellent job taking care our our 1 year old newfoundland and our cat. If you know anything about teenage newfoundlands, you know that they can be criminals of opportunity. Caitlin kept Teddi out of trouble, and I would highly recommend Caitlin to care for your pets.”


10. Woizero F.

“Good communication and was available to be there for cocoa for multiple days!”


11. Layla K.

“Layla was great watching Gus for us. He can be a bit of a handful at 8 months old and she was communicative and took great care of him.”


12. Lia F.

“This is a second time Fido stayed with Lia. Fido needs special care because he is paralyzed from waist down. I will be honest that's a lot of work even for us who is dealing with it for 2 years. Lia was amazing with Fido, and we trust her completely. We are planning another vacation in a few months and Lia is the person I will definitely book it. I hope she will say YES : )”


13. Nathalia C.

“I was so nervous finding a new sitter for Bella since she can be a bit quirky. Nathalia was so sweet, kept me up to date on what they were doing, and sent great pictures. She went above and beyond for us! Thank you so much, we can’t wait for the next sit :)”


14. Al N.
“I call Al 'the dog whisperer', every dog that meets him loves him and they are instant friends. He is committed to and very caring for his own dogs that are beautifully trained. He not only loves his dogs and spoils them with affection, but he makes sure they get high quality care, food, toys, bedding, snacks, etc. Whenever he makes social plans, whether for a few hours or an entire day, Al's first concern is care for his dogs and he makes sure he will be available for their regular walks and feedings, or that they will be well looked after. Al will not treat your dogs any differently.”


15. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth was awesome! She took such great care of my little guy, Perry. She sent me pics throughout the weekend that were much appreciated. Definitely recommend Elizabeth!!”


16. Katie R.
“Katie is a reliable, caring, responsible fried to pets, plus a considerate home guest. She has taken care of our kitties and shown true regard for their individual personalities and needs, always checking in and helping me rest assured that they are in great hands.”


17. Anastasiia & Ivan M.

“Anastasiia was wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitten while we were away. He was terrified when we left, but soon after we walked out, she sent pictures of him warming up to her. We were so relieved! She made us feel comfortable by sending so many pics and videos of him looking happy and active each day of our trip. We trusted her in our home as well. We hope to use her services again next time we go away!”


18. Mia U.

“Mia was incredible!! Where to start!? She took care of my home and cats meticulously. She communicated with updates, pictures, and stories with the kitties. Mia was so helpful and dependable! Highly recommend and looking forward to working with her again! Thank you!”
