1. Dan B.
“Dan has been awesome with the pups! He was very responsive and flexible for the initial meet and greet and has been responsive to all drop in requests since, including the last minute ones! He goes out of his way to make sure our timid dog is comfortable and that both dogs get lots of attention.”

“Matt was great! Very communicative and would recommend!”
3. grace g.
“Grace is one of the best cat sitters that we've had! She asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet which immediately put me at ease. Our kitties enjoyed their time with Grace and seemed to quickly warm up to her. Grace provided us with updates and reached out when something came up. She brought in the mail and packages too! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
4. Lenora F.
“Lenora has taken care of our dog with health issues many times and she has always treated our dog like the queen she is. She follows every instruction and is very timely with updates. She’s a great pet caretaker.”

6. Hannah B.
About: I have been dog-sitting since I was an 8th grade and have been a loyal dog-sitter and walker in my neighborhood for ten + years. I have experience in training puppies and have strong fitness abilities to help active dogs! I am currently a work from home intern so I have lots of time to care for other dogs and grant them the exercise and care they need. I can work with any kind of housing/ pet sit up that you have in your house! I am very flexible and have lots of experience dealing with different kinds and sizes of dogs.
7. Juliana T.
“Juliana was a great sitter for us!!! She was very communicative and even stayed longer to see if she could give our cats some extra loving!! We had a change of plans which impacted her visits, but she was so kind and understanding about it. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
8. Sunny N.
“Sunny was awesome! They were communicative, accommodating, and took excellent care of our cat. We arrived home to a happy, healthy kitty! Thank you, Sunny!”
9. Mary C.
“Mary did a great job caring for Pandy. She’s kind, reliable, on time and is good at communicating in a timely fashion. Will definitely use her service again in the future.”
10. Karla C.
“I have known Karla for several years and she has taken care of our Chocolate Lab multiple times. We trust her with our home, but even more importantly, we trust her with our dog!!! We can relax and feel 100% confident that our dog is in good hands - not just getting basic care, but having an excellent time with someone who is paying lots of attention to him. It dramatically helps to lessen the guilt when we do have to leave him, knowing that Karla is taking care of him! I have known her parents for over 10 years and I can attest to the fact that she comes from a hard-working, caring and trustworthy family and that those values have been passed on to her as well. It's hard to leave your dog - leaving them with someone as good as Karla helps!!! I highly recommend her services.”
11. Richard O.
“Richard was great with our young German Shepherd. Canoot will push boundaries if he can, and Richard kindly kept him in line. Canoot had a great time and needed a long nap after his play time. We are looking forward to the next play date!”
12. Adrianne F.
“Annie has been so great with our lab! She was very responsive to our booking request and we were able to work out a schedule for dog care. She immediately clicked with our dog, and their connection made me confident in her pet care abilities! She always sends a report with how their visit went including lots of pictures!”
13. William S.
“Brice is excellent with animals! He has watched our dog Mac when we were out of town. Brice is very responsible and we never worried when we were gone. He walked him plenty, made sure he had food, water, treats and plenty of love. Brice also communicated with us and sent pictures of our doggy. Mac loves Brice! He will be perfect for the job!”
14. Ava D.
“Ava is a compassionate and caring dog sitter. I recently had to be out of town on an extended trip and she took care of my two labs in all aspects. She would walk and exercise them daily and sometimes twice a day. I would totally have Ava take care of my furry family again without reservation.”
15. Abigale F.
About: I’ve been my family’s pet sitter since I was 13! I can help you with your young pets, as well as your older pets with special care needs. I am available many early mornings, evenings, and nights. As a student, I am able to take most last-minute jobs as long as I’m in the area! Caring for pets requires attention to detail as well as patience and time. I’m confident in providing a calming and kind service for pets of all ages.
16. Sarah W.
“Sarah was wonderful! She went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies and the house. We highly recommend her to everyone. We will definitely be using her services again.”
17. Willow K.
“Willow provided excellent in-home care for our dog Clara while we were away! Willow was very attentive and sensitive to the needs of our dog, who lives with some anxiety and does not do well in a larger, more chaotic kennel setting. Willow was very adept at managing some leash reactivity on walks and often took Clara on long, wonderful hikes. Willow gave Clara lots of extra attention at home, sent us picture and video updates, and we would hire them again in an instant! Anyone would be lucky to have Willow as a pet sitter--highly recommend!”
18. Grace V.
“Grace was so good with our cat, Guppy. She was always on time and followed the instructions we gave her perfectly. Guppy loves to play until he's out of breath, and Grace sent us pictures showing with him panting from the fun time he had. We'd definitely recommend booking with Grace, and we plan to again next time we have to leave town.”
19. Brigid C.
About: I am a pre-veterinary science junior who is currently in the throws of vet school applications. I have worked as a veterinary technician, assistant, and service dog trainer throughout my education. I have a passion for all animals great and small! Ever since a young girl I’ve had pets from hamsters and turtles to dogs and cats! All ages and breeds welcome! I am currently working part-time and home for my summer break from school. I’d like to get in as much experience with animals before I apply to vet school so I am looking to get a lot of time walking and sitting with your furry friends! I am not currently offering in-home care, however I can easily look after your pet in your home! I have experience with various training tools such as gentle leaders or crate training. I have trained dogs from 8 weeks old to 2 years. At home I have a golden-mix and a bull mastiff, so I’m no stranger to strong dogs!
20. Nicole H.
“Nicole has cared for family pets since a young age, including cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, and her horse. She is responsible and tenative to the pet's needs. She has also since a young age of about 12 cared for a neighbors horse farm and their dogs and cats when they travel which is frequently. They have let us know many times what a great job she does. She is hard working, loves animals, and very trust worthy. She also has worked for 3 years as a vet tech and is pre-vet in college.”
