“THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER!!!!!! She was responsive, gave frequent updates, was so attentive, took our doggo on adventures, was respectful to our house, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we were away. I will 100% be booking with her in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Briana was fantastic. She took detailed notes on how to care for Astro. She was great at keeping in touch sending updates and pictures throughout the week.

“Wonderful booking Alice and Ethan! They took care of Gracie exactly per all our instructions. They gave her a lot of attention when she was awake and were perfect when she needed to rest. Thank you guys!”
“Marianne was great with our senior cat on a long trip. We knew we could trust her since she has a senior cat of her own. She administered his eye drops perfectly. We highly recommend. Thank you Marianne!”
“Madeline was absolutely amazing! Best dog sitter I’ve had since losing my last go-to person. She made me feel so safe and comfortable while I was away, which means everything. She went above and beyond for my poochie and treated her with such care and love. Truly grateful.”
“Arianna is truly the best cat sitter I could have asked for. My kitten Roman needed multiple eye drops throughout the day for a serious eye issue, which meant someone had to be with him for most of the day, and she handled everything so patiently and carefully. She kept me constantly updated, sent so many pictures, and treated him like he was her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her help during such a stressful time. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets.”

Anna did a great job watching our Sky! She was communicative, friendly, and kept us updated throughout the stay. We could tell Sky was comfortable, happy, and well cared for with her. We’d definitely love to have Anna watch Sky again and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable sitter!
Kayla was amazing! Not only did she take fantastic care of our pup and did he have a great time, she also helped in a huge way when we had apartment issues while on vacation. It would have led to so much damage if she wasn’t there! Both on the pet and apartment front, Kayla was super responsive and communicated the whole. Will definitely have Kayla watch our boy again!
Yuliia is the first person outside our family we've ever trusted with our dogs. We’re that neurotic. We have four large dogs, each with a distinct personality, a specific diet, and a list of medications — ear drops, eye drops, and pills at both breakfast and dinner. They’re rambunctious, playful, and, if I’m being honest, a bit needy. Overwhelming, some might say. But Yuliia not only took it in stride, she loved them like her own. Throughout the day she sent videos of the dogs gobbling their meals, eagerly taking their meds, chasing balls, cuddling up for petting sessions, and sleeping blissfully. Her texts were so clever and entertaining, we've saved every one. Yuliia is knowledgeable, professional, warm, and kind. We can't wait to go away again (and our dogs are already begging us to leave)!
Riouja arrived before time - she was very communicative, sent hourly updates with pictures , took chia to the groomer and back , was loving and kind to our dog. We would not hesitate to hire her again recommend her highly. She’s a dog lover and our dog loved her !
Sue is amazing! She took such wonderful care of my dog and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She is kind, communicative, flexible, and I felt confident that my dog was in great hands. I can’t recommend Sue highly enough and would happily book with her again!
Jessica is the absolute sweetest and took such great care of Oliver. We really appreciated her updates through the sitting and could tell Ollie was happy and well cared for. She was gracious when we had a last minute change in our travel plans. She also left the apartment in great shape. Would highly recommend to everyone!!
Desiree is the best rover!! She’s very communicative and proactive. She took the best care of my cat- he is a big fan of hers now. Desiree was very good with following instructions and also managing any last minute changes that came up. I felt very at ease and comfortable knowing that my baby is in good hands. Would highly recommend!
