"My cat Fridge had the BEST time with Sophia!
Sophia went above and beyond to make sure my son, Fridge, was happy and well taken care of while I was away. Not only did she handle all the basics perfectly, but she also brought toys for him and spent extra time playing, which was so thoughtful!!
She always sent through frequent updates and pictures/ videos of Fridge – which really put my mind at ease as it was my first time leaving him with a petsitter. I was nervous initially but it was so clear she treated him like her own, and when I picked him up, he was a very happy and relaxed cat!!
Sophia is very reliable, caring, and GENUINELY passionate about animals and I am so glad I found her!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be calling on her again whenever I need a pet sitter. I HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with love and care!
Thank you again Sophia for all the help and care you’ve given to Fridge ❤️"

"Amazing sitting service!! Absolutely recommend. This was our first time using any dog sitting service outside of a kennel, so we were a little nervous.. but what a difference! Our fur babies were loved and cared for like it was their home.
We have a medium sized Groodle and a XL huskyXmalimute who needed babysitting for 10 nights.. They were both welcomed inside Rita’s home to enjoy the air conditioning and some human company, lazying around in whichever room they felt like.
We received many pictures of Rita and her Partner Tom taking our doggos on adventures in the great outdoors, which was very reassuring while we were away, they always had big doggie smiles on there faces.. and Tom and Rita looked pretty happy too!
Some of the photos of our dogs included them laying on their backs, limbs spread every which way in the middle of the floor (as in the way as possible of course) making them selves at home.. looking as though they felt safe and happy.
I can’t express enough how thankful we are to have found a safe home we can leave our fur babies the next time we fly anywhere.
Thanks again you legends Tom and Rita!"

"We couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters than Sherica and Matt!
They took great care of our dog Mochi for two weeks while we were on holiday.
From the beginning, Sherica was responsive and quick to organise a meet and greet, which made the entire process easy and smooth.
This was also our first time boarding Mochi and it was clear that he was in great hands since they went above and beyond by providing regular updates and accommodating to his dietary needs.
Mochi had an absolute blast, especially playing with their dog Leo and we can tell that he was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of.
I would happily book with Sherica and Matt again and reccomend them to anyone looking for reliable pet sitters 🙂"

"Shristi was a fantastic dog sitter. She accepted looking after Ollie straight away which was great as the original sitter we had booked pulled out. She is a great communicator, sent me photos every step of the way & made sure Ollie was given his required treats/food. Would highly recommend. Thankyou Shristi"

"We were looking for an absolute unicorn of a dog sitter. Fairly short notice over the peak xmas period for a disabled special needs dog our boy Mack. We found that in Raz!. We did an initial meet and greet followed by a trial one night stay to see if this would be a suitable fit. Mack boarded with Raz for 1 week. At all times Raz had a quick response time to any messages and always friendly and polite. We were kept up to date with photos. Mack is paralysed in his rear legs and Raz even took him for walks in a little buggy so he could get out and about. He also takes medication and Raz is super organised and diligent in making sure all instructions were followed. Raz made sure Mack was happy and engaged with balls and toys and really went above and beyond in caring for our special boy and clearly loves dogs.I would use Raz's sitting services again - I don't think there would be many sitters capable of taking on a dog as high needs as Mack. Highly recommend Raz and Mack came well cared for with a beautiful xmas teddy to play with when he got home! Thank you Raz "

"Thank you Rob for taking such good care of our Biggie. He loved his stay with you and your family. From the moment he walked in, he seemed settled and loved playing with your puppy! When we picked him up he didn’t want to leave, so it’s obvious he had a fantastic time!
Your expert care and love for dogs enabled him to relax and helped us settle too. We would highly recommend Rob and his family to anyone! "

"I had a great experience with Cindy as a dog sitter. She was very accommodating and flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made scheduling so much easier. Cindy took Boat out for walks 1–2 times a day, ensuring he got plenty of exercise. Throughout the day, she also kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Boat was happy and well cared for. I really appreciate her reliability and care — highly recommend Cindy!"

"Sascha is an amazing super pet sitter. We entrusted our 9 y.o rescue staffy Lockor with him for 11 nights on our first overseas trip since the pandemic. We were nervous, especially with Lockor having separation anxiety and dog aggression. Sascha is the best, he took the time to arrange meet & greets prior to booking and also asked if we would like Lockor to come over for a visit 1 week prior to our trip, so our dog could get acquainted with him and his lovely wife Tamara.
During our trip, Sascha provided so many updates, most of which were him pampering our dog so much so I think our dog was the one having a holiday!!! Communication was amazing + Sascha went above and beyond.
We cannot thank you enough Sascha and Lockor is definitely looking forward to many more stays.

"I recently hired Kaycee to care for my beloved Australian Cattle Dog, Solar, for an extended period of five days, and I cannot praise her enough for the outstanding care she provided. From the moment I entrusted Solar to her, I knew I had made the right choice. Kaycee’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction, making this an incredibly positive experience for both Solar and me.
Kaycee is the epitome of understanding, loving, and reliable. She took the time to learn about Solar’s unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring that my pup felt comfortable and cherished. As a cattle dog, Solar is bursting with energy and requires significant physical activity to stay happy and healthy. Kaycee went above and beyond, taking Solar out for hours each day for vigorous walks, runs, and playtime. These outings were tailored to Solar’s high-energy nature, and I could tell from the photos and videos Kaycee shared that Solar was thriving under her care.
One of the standout aspects of Kaycee’s service was her commitment to communication. She provided multiple daily updates, including detailed messages, photos, and even short video clips of Solar’s adventures. These updates were a lifeline for me while I was away, as they reassured me that Solar was not only safe but also having the time of her life. Whether it was a snapshot of Solar bounding through a park or a clip of her happily chasing a ball, Kaycee’s thoughtfulness put my heart at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry.
Kaycee’s passion for dog care is evident in every aspect of her work. She doesn’t just go through the motions; she invests herself fully in ensuring the dogs in her care are happy, healthy, and engaged. Her attention to detail, from ensuring Solar’s diet was followed to providing mental stimulation through games and interaction, demonstrated a level of dedication that is truly rare. She treated Solar as if she were her own, and that level of care is something every pet owner hopes for in a dog sitter.
Beyond her skills and reliability, Kaycee’s warmth and approachability made the entire process seamless. She was flexible when I needed to extend the booking, responsive to my questions, and genuinely invested in making sure both Solar and I were satisfied. Her love for animals is infectious, and it’s clear that dog sitting is not just a job for her, it’s a calling.
If you’re searching for someone to care for your dog, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaycee. She is a gem in the world of pet care, and I can say with 100% confidence that she will provide your furry friend with the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. Solar and I are already looking forward to her next visit with Kaycee!"

"I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Guillermo took such wonderful care of my dog Meeko, for the past four weeks, and I’m so grateful for their attention and love. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away on a work trip.
It was clear from the start that they genuinely cared about Meeko, and it felt like they treated him as part of their family. Meeko came back happy, healthy, and full of energy.
I would absolutely recommend Guillermo to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitters. Thank you both for everything!"

My pet felt very comfortable. She asked many questions to make sure my pet was comfortable and what their routine was like. During the stay, she updated with photos and messages throughout. My pet was happy with the stay. Could not fault her service. Will definitely use her and her services again. Thank you Larina!!"

"Moe is a very nice girl. She knows dogs, my dog Qiqi is normally shy and always hiding. But when we went to Moe 's home, Qiqi turn comfortable very quick and start playing with the other dog. Second time when my dog was afraid of another bigger dog, Moe hold the bigger dog. very sweet of her and I know that she would be a good sitter, because she really watch the dogs. when I am away, she share photos every day with me. when I pick up Qiqi 4 days later , she barked😂 Already defend Moe 's home. I am so happy with Moe (and her mom), thank you so much for taking care of Qiqi, 5 star for this app too."
