Jadyn was AWESOME!! She came in very last minute and was super flexible with timing. She opted to stay overnight with my pets, seeing as our dog is hyper and cat had recently suffered a stroke. She took care of them so well, I felt very comfortable! She went above and beyond, making sure they were not only cared for, but having a good time! Highly recommend having her petsit for you, the daily pictures and videos were an added bonus (communication was stellar), will book with her again!

Megan was great when she kept our pup for our week long honeymoon, she let me have peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. She sent photos & updates but didn’t over do it! I would 10/10 use Megan for animal services again!

Joey is a very responsible pet caregiver as he takes superb care of his senior Staffy, going above and beyond to make sure she gets appropriate exercise, attention, mental stimulation and medical care. She receives only the best care and I know he will treat any dogs that he takes care of like his own!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for four years now and enjoy every minute of it. I have a dog with special needs so I understand the importance of providing great care for your pets. Animals are a passion of mine and I look forward to getting to know you and your pets. I am pretty flexible during my week so I am easy to work with when it comes to scheduling times for pet care. I am excited to hear from all of you. When it comes to caring for a client’s pet, I follow strictly what they say and if I am unsure of something, I always reach out. I have experienced some bad pet sitters for my fur baby so I understand the feeling of knowing the unknown. It is my mission to provide you with confidence in knowing your pet is safe and taken care of.

I needed someone to watch my 2 puppies (6 month old German Sheppard, and 9 month old pit mix) while my husband and I went away for the weekend. Needless to say I needed someone patient as they are 2 BIG puppies. Mary was so patient and loving and cared for them like they were her own. She was always sending me updates and pictures, I could tell she genuinely enjoyed being around them! It was my first time leaving them with someone else and she eased all of my anxieties. I cannot praise her enough and will 100% be using her again!

We were so happy to have Maddy look after Elijah and Emmerson on their first week long vacation away from their mama and papa. We were concerned with our cats at first, because they're often really shy with strangers, but Maddy got our more social scaredy cat, Eli, to play with her! She was fast to communicate when we needed anything, she took care of a lot of our plants even if she didn't quite know what they needed, got our mail, and took the trash out when she left. The house was in great condition. We would definitely ask her to sit our cats again!

Casey was absolutely wonderful with our two big dogs! She treated them like her own, was very responsible, very trustworthy, and just amazing to work with! Her kids were so sweet too and just loved on our dogs! It was so peaceful being able to go on family vacation and not having to worry about our dogs! We would highly recommend Casey for any pet needs and we would love to use her again!

About: Hi im luna, I’ve had dogs and taken care for pets just about all my life. I travel and work gigs. I’ve work with senior pets and puppies. I work around the pets personalized schedule. And don’t mind house sitting if necessary. I currently work with multiple apps and labor agencies that allow me to create my schedule freely to accommodate any other gigs I’ve personally scheduled for myself. I always make sure to ask what exactly keeps the pet in a comfortable state without being bored or overwhelmed. And to go on from there depending on what needs have to be met a certain time

About: I work at a local animal hospital 4 days of the week. I spend my time off with my 2 dogs, 3 cats, and husband. I have an 12 yr old cairn terrier and a 3 yr old Australian cattle dog. I have experience with a wide variety of dog personalities and understand a cat. I worked at a pet resort in the past and ran the dog day care program for 2 years with a partner. Grew this program by 70 percent. Taking care of 40 dogs on an average day. I’d like to spend time doing more of what I enjoy, which is spending time with and caring for animals. I currently have one availability. I can give any medications your pet may need. If they need to go to the vet I can take them. Need a nail trim? Haircut? I can take them.
