1. Lesly R.

“Lesly was absolutely great! We would definitely recommend and use her again. She communicated with us and sent pictures! It made us feel comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”




2. Jessica J.


“Jessica was great with our two fur babies. She and her family made sure they got plenty of exercise in a safe environment. Jessica was also great with communicating and sending photos. Will use again and recommend.”


3. Noleen A.


“Noleen is the best!!! She took such great care of our CoCo - I could not have been happier. She provides daily updates, her home is very welcoming for animals and she has a gift for caring for animals. CoCo has never returned from a trip so happy! I cannot recommend Noleen enough, she is the best dog sitter I've ever had (and our dog used to stay with our groomer!) Look no further - your fur babies will be happy and very well looked after with Noleen!!!”


4. Kathy Y.


“This was coco first time with Mrs. Kathy and she had a blast other fur babies. She can't wait to return and I recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is trustworthy and really loves what she does.”


5. Jeanie K.

“Jeanie's absolutely the best. She had a natural affinity toward my fur baby and has a very cheerful personality. Picking up my baby and holding him like he was hers just warmed my heart. I sent Jojo over with his bed for him to sleep in but instead I got a picture of him on the bed which was where he spent the night (warmed my heart even more 🥰). Jojo even got to use the doggie door which he's always been scared to do cos it flaps back and forth. The best part is that her home environment is very dog friendly, very clean and very warm. You can clearly tell that she loves what she does. If you want your baby to have a happy home away from home, I would highly recommend Jeanie and be rest assured that he/she'll be well cared for.”


6. Katarina G.

“Katarina, AKA Rina was awesome. My doberman took to her right away. She is very flexible and compassionate to the needs of your pet. Communication was easy and very responsive with her. I treat my dog like family and she handles him in the same respect. I highly recommend Rina and will definitely be bringing Zerks back in the future. Rina is located 45 minutes from my home but worth the drive. If you book with Rina you will not be disappointed. Thank you Rina 👍👍”


7. Frances H.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was fourteen and have experience taking care of elderly, special needs, and young animals. I am a dog person at heart, but I love all animals and want you to feel assured while at work or out of town that I will take care of your pet. I work split shifts and have a flexible schedule where I can come home often on days that I work to let pets out and stretch their legs. I love playing with animals and make sure they have the attention they need while you are away. While at my home my dog Buddy loves other animals and will help them feel welcome.


8. Anna S.
About: I have been raised around dogs since I was a kid and have always owned a few at a time. I love animals with all my heart, and am always so happy to meet new furry friends! I have 4 currently that include a Basset Hound, Bulldog, Pomeranian, and a rescue mix. When I take care of your dog, you can trust that I will treat them like they are my own - with love and kindness! I am free most any day of the week and at most hours. You just let me know when you need help and I'll work hard to be there! I will be offering services at the client's home so if there is a fenced in yard, I always double check it before letting the dogs out (I even do this at my home for my own pets), and also just being extra careful and keeping an eye on everyone. I treat animals like they're children and I know they need lots of supervision!


9. Christi H.

“Christi was amazing! Kept us updated on the dogs and took extra care of them. She went above and beyond. We are very satisfied and we will use her again!”


10. Sterling F.

“Just pick up my dog and I can tell he had GREAT STAY ! I love how Sterling gave me daily updates! Also in every picture he sent me my dog did not look stress! I will definitely be booking again !! -Sir Mom”


11. Brandi L.
“Brandi was absolutely amazing! She cared for all four of my babies (two cats and two dogs), and gave them the same care and attention that I do! She was sure to ask what theirs needs were before hand and sent me plenty of video and picture updates. Even though walks weren’t required, she went out of her way to take them on walks and even got my pup who has separation anxiety to eat. I would DEFINITELY recommend!”


12. Joule C.

“Joule went above and beyond, calming our fears of leaving our dogs over night. Mollie & Nitro had so much fun while staying with Joule that they never even missed us. She kept us up to date with text messages and photos of what the dogs were doing and they seemed very happy when my Husband went and picked them up after our vacation. I would highly recommend Joule and will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank-you Joule for everything! =)”
