“I was a little nervous at first to try this app but Keira was very kind and accommodating for a last minute booking for my girl. She even took pictures and left a note! I will definitely love to rebook with her in the future :)”
“Cassandra was a wonderful sitter who is motivated to connect with any pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Her communication is excellent, and always provided detailed updates on how our pet was doing without us. She also provided photos with every visit which was extremely helpful. We would definitely reach out to Cassandra to watch our dog again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Megan! She is amazing! She was able to come in on such short notice due to a prior sitter not working out. She dealt with my animals when they were the most unruly. I swear, they pulled out all the tricks just for her and handled it so well. I would trust her with my whole farm any day! My dogs, sheep, chickens, rabbits and cat have never been in such good hands. Thank you, Megan for being a literal God send during my vacation!”
“You’re the best!! We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of our puppy. It seems like he has so much fun with you. Love all of the photos you send. Thank you. So grateful we found you.”
“Justin and his family took great care of our dog, Molly. They sent great pictures of her everyday showing how much fun she was having with the family and their new puppy. Also, Justin stopped by my house to care for my cat, Misty as well, while we were on vacation. I felt very comfortable with them caring for my animals and I would not hesitate to choose them again! Thank you to them all!”
About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I am currently a student working part time so I have a lot of time to take care your pet and give them the attention they need. I have three small dogs of my own and a backyard that the dogs are welcome to play in. I am willing to have animals at my house or go to your home and take care of them in yours.
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals, loving on them, playing with them and just showing them attention. I work during the week so my pup is crate trained to be in for my 8 hour work day. I am off on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard, a 6 yr old male cat named Oliver, a Daschund pup named Delilah, a 15 yr old son, 4 yr old son & a 2 yr old son. Plenty of love and companionship at my home to go around.
“We brought our dog Mutig over to see how he got along with Yvonne, her family home, and with their dog Quincy before we go on a big trip. They were warm, inviting, and asked great questions. Quincy and Mutig hit it off racing around the yard and it put us at ease knowing we will have a good place to leave him where he will have care and a great playmate!”
“Laurel did a great job dropping in on our cats while we were away. Communication was excellent and she was very responsible making sure the cats were ok and all was in order. I would highly recommend her”
“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have 2 right now that are 11 and 3 years old. My husband and I have been pet sitting for family for a little over 3 years now and love it!! I am a teacher and currently have the summer off. I am working here and there throughout the summer part-time so I have great availability. I have a fenced in front and back yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your pet company! I can also go to your house and walk your dogs.
“Both our dogs liked Lillian from the first meeting, and that helped us dog parents deal with our separation anxiety. Lillian was always prompt to arrive at the appointed times. Our dogs were healthy and happy when we got home. We’ll ask for Lillian by name next time!”
About: I am a very experienced caregiver to dogs, cats, and fish, and am used to having pets with high needs and doing things around the house like watering plants, cleaning, and general upkeep. I do prefer caring for pets in their home, as I believe it provides a sense of stability and I can just fit into the preset routine. I am patient and empathetic towards animals and I will definitely make sure they are taken care of and feel comfortable. I can figure most things out on my own but have no problem with chatting with the parents if it comforts them and reassures them that their baby is in good hands. I am available pretty much all the time, and will definitely make your needs the first priority in my schedule. I can't wait to meet you and your pets/s!
