Eliot was awesome, and will be our go to guy from now on. Pepper is a sweetheart but can be a handful, and he was totally unphased by Pepper’s quirks. He met up with us ahead of time to introduce our two dogs and was communicative throughout the weekend that we were away. I’d recommend Eliot to anybody!

Kayla set my mind at ease. My Chihuahua is 18 and on meds. She is very good about everything! Her children are helpful too. I can't say enough of how great she is. My dog was so calm and taken care of as one of her own pets.

Kendall + Darbie are great! We set up a meet and greet for Phineas and as soon I got there I knew they would be a great fit for him. Throughout his stay they were consistent with spending updates and photos of Phineas. I trusted them completely and would 100% recommend them as your dogs babysitter!

About: I am originally from England and currently a student here in Athens! My family have always been animal loves and I was fortunate enough to have a variety of animals growing up from dogs, cats, birds and gerbils! I currently have two cats and regularly dog sit and walk for my father-in-law who has a German Shepherd mix and an American bulldog mix! My partner is also animal crazy and was brought up basically on a farm with more animals then could ever be imagined from dogs to deers to goats. I have also helped out at dog sanctuaries in Greece and enjoy just being around animals. If you have any questions please feel free to message! I've recently just moved to the US so I have plenty of free time while I settle and I don't think there is any better way to settle in than with some animals! I have two dog-friendly indoor cats that mind their own business. I have a great dog park near my home I enjoy going on long walks and hikes too if your dog enjoys that! I have a crate if that is required for your pet

Cassidy was wonderful with our baby!! She was very caring with him, took pictures of him and sent them to us. Took him on a walk, as long as he would walk, catered to his special dietary needs. She loved him like he was hers! We will definitely be calling on her again! I highly recommend her, she has the perfect setup at her home and is the perfect foster mom ♥!

I have had the pleasure of having Annette in my life for many years. She has watched my pups many times and they LOVE her. They feel the love and caring. They also enjoy her creativity of entertainment with them. Whenever I pick them up after a day with her…they are tuckered and ready to go home and hang out. I highly recommend her. Plus, her fenced in yard is beautiful!! Your pup is going to LOVE it.

I use Shelby on several occasions to take care of Willow my toy yorkie who is 4 1/2 months old and weighs 3.2 pounds. Shelby treats her as if she was her own, she walks her plays with her and even has let her spend the night and sleep in the bed with her. She makes sure she gets all the attention Willow needs and much more. She has also watched my other dogs that I have had in the past that have crossed over the rainbow. And has been there for me for moral support. I would trust Shelby with my children and my animals no questions asked.

What a wonderful person to trust with my pets while traveling. Xionella is a very gentle and caring pet sitter. Both of my small dogs stayed with her for almost a week and were relaxed and happy on pickup day. She sent frequent updates and some of the most cute pictures I have ever seen of my pups. I recommend booking with Xionella and I know I will for my next trip.

SK is such a fantastic petsitter! Every time I've had her take care of my cat she has been incredibly communicative and helpful. She always sends me some pictures and updates me on what they did that day. SK is so sweet and kind, there's truly nobody better to have take care of your pets!
