Rachelle did a great job watching my dog at my home for the weekend. She handled some walk difficulties my pup gave her very well, and I came home to a well cared for dog. Will use again.

Tim was amazing with our pups! We have one energetic puppy and one older dog reactive dog and he handled both with the care they needed!! He communicated frequently and never hesitated to bring up any questions! Our girls were happy as could be! Tim left the house clean and couldn’t even tell he had stayed here! I’d recommend him to anyone and hope to book him again sometime!

Emily took care of not only my puppy Atlas but also my parents’ senior dog Chip while I was out of town. She provided me with daily updates so that I knew they were doing well. I came home to a clean apartment and two happy dogs. I would happily book her again in the future

Emily was so great with my English bulldog Bowie! She house sat for a week and was very communicative every day, sending me updates and pictures- total peace of mind while I was on a work trip. He’s not an easy personality sometimes but she handled him like a pro. Not only that, but she was flexible when plans changed and left my house perfectly spotless. Woikd definitely use Emily again!!

Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!

Lily is a fantastic person and truly knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She cared for my shy and fearful little dog for the first time last week, and they were best friends by the time I got home. Lily is a caring person who truly loves dogs and understands them. She is also punctual, communicative, and flexible. I had an emergency while Lily cared for my dog, and although Lily had other plans, she changed them to stay with my dog, which suffers from severe separation anxiety. I was amazed at her compassion and understanding, and I will deffitely work with her again because she won over my little guy. I got home, and although he greeted me, he played with Lily, which is rare. Thank you, Lily, you truly saved us.

Leslie was wonderful! She was so attentive and doting on Buster. She was very transparent with her arrival and departure times and sent us photos and videos throughout the weekend updating us on Buster and how he was doing! We were very hesitant to leave Buster, but after a few hours with Lelise and her attentiveness, I became more comfortable with the process. She is truly the best and we cannot wait to use her again! Buster let her 'into his pack' which is hard to do, but it just goes to show what a great and trusting person she really is!

Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.

Casey was wonderful! We know our dog is in good hands with her. Our dog got an ear infection the day we were supposed to leave for our trip and Casey was super helpful with administering the medication and keeping us updated.

I cannot possibly say enough great things about Ann! She stayed with our kittens for a week and took exceptional care of them and the house. I honestly think the house was cleaner when we came home! Ann sent regular updates about the cats and took very very good care of them. I’m so grateful and look forward to having Ann again.

Navya is AMAZING. This is her second time watching my cat, and this time there was an emergency in my building that caused evacuation and she ensured my cat was safe and even thought about stepping away from the building due to the sirens and grabbing extra food in case there was a longer issue. I cannot thank her enough. I came back to a clean apartment and well cared for cat. I highly recommend.

Mia was the best! It was the longest I had left my 14 year old doggo - 2 weeks overseas in a very different time zone. She sent updates every day and Carlos (my dog) seemed so, so happy and content. Mia left everything clean and tidy - I will definitely be booking her again!

I had such a great experience booking Michael to dog sit my 3yr German Shepherd Moondog at my apartment. Michael cared for my dog perfectly, sent frequent updates, kept my apartment clean, and was super friendly. Michael will definitely be my first choice for dog sitting in the future. Thanks Michael!

Knowing our high maintenance pup was with Sarah was such a relief! She sent updates throughout the night with great pics, followed all of our instructions, and kept our senior dog comfortable and happy! I feel so lucky we found Sarah! She has set a high bar for future dog sitters!
