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.

Emily was great! She was very communicative and helpful. It was easy to set up a meet and greet and our cat got comfortable with her quickly. Our cat and our house were well cared for. Would definitely ask her to sit again!

Timo is the best sitter we could ask for. Our cats love him so much and we know Timo really cares for them as if they’re his own. Timo also keeps us at ease by sending many photos and updates about the boys while we are away. And we always come back to a clean house and happy cats! Can’t recommend him enough!

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.

Great experience with a home stay to take care of our cat! She sent us photos and updates while we were out for 10 days. We came home around midnight and were so grateful to Navya for washing the sheets, running the dishwasher, and taking the trash out so we could settle right back in. Our cat clearly got the love and attention he needs, which was the most important thing for us.

Mia is the best dog sitter Mia and Archie could have hoped for! She stayed in our home with the dogs for 10 days and followed all of our instructions exactly, going above and beyond by providing updates (and adorable photos/videos!) multiple times each day — which made it easier to relax on vacation knowing the dogs were in such good hands. It became clear that Mia is not only responsible and trustworthy, but a true dog lover (and they loved her back!). She also offered to water our plants, brought in our packages for us, and left the house near and tidy for our return. We will definitely plan to reach out to Mia to care for our dogs again next time we travel. :)

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!

Elise has helped care for our pets (cats, dog, hamster) for about 20 years. She is kind, responsible, caring, knowledgable, and has a distinct ability to communicate with all kinds of animals. She has a huge heart, into which animals roam freely, and she cares for them. You can utterly and absolutely trust her to care for your pet conscientiously and selflessly.

Leslie was amazing to work with and she was amazing with Ruxin. He gets so nervous when we leave on a trip, and we came home this time to see him full of smiles, tail wagging. She loved on him well, and went above and beyond. We'll be getting a hold of Leslie again soon!

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.

Like our last review said we absolutely adore Michael, and HAD to book again. Not only an upstanding guy, when we didn’t know if we could make it home the night when Michael’s house sitting was supposed to end, he immediately agreed to help us out and check on our pets until we could get back. Michael was generous with his time (sending us lots of updates and photos throughout the day), his love (so much playtime and so many treats to our pets), and was beyond respectful of our home (we walked into a fresh apartment - and we’ve definitely never experienced that before with past house sitters). Cannot recommend more, put your pets with the best ♥️

I could not recommend Ann G. more! She watched my 8 month old puppy for 4 days and did an amazing job! She took my pup on many long walks and texted me updates/pics all the time. She was very communicative, gave my pup plenty of socialization, and was in tune with his needs. If you need someone to watch you dog, you definitely want Ann G.
