“Erin was fantastic as always. My girl is always so excited to hang out at her house with the other dogs and her boys. She comes home so worn out from having the best time. We really appreciate everything she does to keep our girl safe and happy while we are away. So grateful”


“Kathy watched our dog barbell for several days while we were up north. She was so great! She sent pictures kept us updated on barbells care. Barbell had so much fun playing with Kathy and her dog. Thank you so much Kathy! We appreciate you watching her during a holiday weekend!”


“Jeanne and her family are among Pippa’s favorite people. We live down the street from Jeanne and Pippa can’t walk past Jeanne’s house without wanting to stop for a visit. Jeanne always greets Pippa and me with enthusiasm and she fully understands Pippa’s energy. Jeanne always lets me know if Pippa has any issues during her stay, and Jeanne has also taken care of Pippa when she was sick and I had to leave town unexpectedly. I am grateful that I can always depend on Jeanne to take good care of my fur baby.”



“We have been leaving our dog Wallace with Ed and Laura for 7 years. We keep going back because we know that she is well cared for and loved. Most recently she stayed for 3 weeks and we knew she was in good hands and had no worry’s while we were out of the country.”



“When we arrived at Shannon’s home, Archie ran to the door. He was so excited to stay for the second time. I felt the same way. During our absence, we received pictures several times. Shannon communicates well. Her smile is consistent with her loving care and flexibility to accommodate our schedule. I am so glad I got to know her and grateful for her care of our beloved dog. Without her, needing to leave Archie would result in much worry. With him in her care I know he is safe and having a wonderful time”


“Kumar took such good care of my dog! He was gentle, kind, fed him with very specific instructions and made my dog feel at home in his apartment. He sent photos and updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”


“Ashly was great! Very accommodating to our schedule and to our boy Hank. We had an enjoyable and relaxing get away knowing Hank was well taken care of! Highly recommend, and will definitely call Ashley again when we are in the area next summer!”

“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”


“Hutch received fantastic care from Mariah and Max and definitely made a couple of new 4-legged friends during his stay. They were also very friendly and very flexible when it came to drop-off/pick-up times, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”


“Cristina was absolutely fantastic! I was very anxious leaving our newest dog with someone for the first time, and I let her know that so she made sure to send me multiple updates/photos during the day which was greatly appreciated by me! She took great care of my Mocha, and has a beautiful and clean home with a very nice fenced backyard 😊 Highly recommend, and will use her again in the future.”


“Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!”


About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.

About: Hi! Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs and I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment so I do not currently live with any animals. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.

About: I have a diploma in veterinary assisting, I’m very passionate about animal safety and all things to prolong animal living. I love spending quality time and forming genuine bonds with all animals. I’m currently working on everyday of the week but I am free anytime on Fridays and Saturdays. Enjoy your weekends no worries about the pets with me I will make sure I’m always following dietary needs and take the proper precautions when doing any activities with your loved pets. Anything that is told to me prior to caring for your animals will be main priority.


“I had never used an online pet sitting service before. I was on a waiting list for two boarding kennels. Went out of town for the weekend and Cher was very accommodating. She seems like a genuine pet lover. She had two smaller dogs that my small Pomeranian got along with well. She sent update photos of Cody and responded quickly to update requests. I was totally satisfied with her services and would let her watch Cody again and will be utilizing her services again in the future. Cody’s temperament when back home was normal and not like the usual shyness after a traditional kennel. I know he got play time with other dogs and did not have fear/separation anxiety with Cher and her small dogs. Thank you Cher. I am totally satisfied with the experience.”

“I have known Charlie for 28 years. He has had pets ever since I have known him. He likes to be around them and makes sure they have what they need. He has always made sure to put them on potty breaks when he was at my house. He makes sure that they are part of everything. For this reason I believe he would be a good petsitter.”
