dog sitter review
"Liz is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! It's obvious that she cares a lot for my dog and gives him the same levels of attention and care that I do. Liz is also a great communicator, she always sends updates. I trust Liz completely coming into my home, and she always leaves the place cleaner than she found it. Look forward to her being my primary pet sitter."

"Crista is a great cat sitter. I have difficult cats. One is standoffish and the other is aggressive at times and Crista handles their care extremely well!"
Bethany R., cat owner
pet sitter review
"Hadjra was our first pet sitter from UrbanSitter, and we could not have asked for someone better! She made the interview, booking, and payment process seamless. She made sure to keep us in the loop with pictures and details, without overloading us while on vacation. We were gone for 12 days and, without her, we would never have been able to take a trip that long!! Definitely recommend booking her 100 times over!"
Merrick C., pet owner
