With the help of some treats, they made friends and we felt safe leaving Tigger in her care for our vacation. Communication/pictures were provided daily and he was well cared for in our absence. We will rebook with Delia.”

I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.”

She consistently checks his food and water, makes sure he’s comfortable, and takes the time to play with him so he feels loved while we’re away. We truly appreciate her communication, and the genuine care she shows. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

About: Ive grown up with my pets my entire life from having 2 dogs, 3 cats, fish, and a snake I love all animals! I decided to join this app after helping my friends in college take care of pets they were watching through Rover and looking for extra side income after having my son roughly two years ago. What sets me apart from other sitters is my level of patience, I’m no stranger to the crazy energy of a pet (or toddler😂) and I can’t wait to meet your furry fam and be crazy with them too! I have experience with puppies, teenagers, and even senior dogs as well! I have availability right after I get off work at 1:15pm every day, until I have to pick my son up from daycare at 3pm. Monday-Friday I’m open and am free to walk in the Jonesville/Newberry/Gainesville area! :) I currently only offer house drop in visits and dog walking, but I will consider other services if you are a previously established client, just message me with requests! :)

Richard went above and beyond caring for our girls, with not only the necessities, but also by giving them more love and attention than we had ever expected. We truly felt peace of mind knowing our girls were in great hands. Richard also made two new furry friends, which was impressive considering how shy our cats usually are, and sent us wonderful pictures at every visit. We are so grateful and more than satisfied! ❤️
Rachel has been the most reliable and caring pet sitter I have ever met. She has been a trusted caretaker for my babies over the past few years and handled an emergency situation with compassion and love. Truly a gem, not enough words to describe how lovely she has been to us!
