“Alex took such great care of our little Olive! He sent lots of photos and updates, and we felt completely at ease knowing Olive was so well cared for. Alex went above and beyond making sure Olive was content! Alex stayed overnight with Olive and also spent lots of time with her during the days. Olive looks forward to Alex’s next stay!!”

“He was awesome! My cats are super-nervous rescues, and he stayed at the house to make them feel better while we were traveling. He gave me regular updates, and got the cats feeling comfortable enough to come out of hiding! Was a great cat sitter!”
4. Joyce G.
“Wonderful sitters! Joyce and her husband took such good care of our 4 dogs. We were really happy that they were able to come to our home multiple times per day in order to feed water and play with our 4 sweethearts. And Joyce was able to take 1 dog to the vet to look at an injury that occurred PRIOR to her starting; the dogs paw got caught in something right before we were scheduled to leave for vacation. Luckily, his paw was fine. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were and are with the house/pet sitting by Joyce!”

“Deja was amazing! As soon as I booked, she came over and met my dog to make sure they got along. My dog is shy and so she got uncomfortable meeting out of the way. When she came over a few days later to watch her, she remembered her and was so excited to see her. They had a blast together and I got lots of photos and videos.”

18. Ryan L.
About: I have lived with animals my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have always loved animals and I have taken care of them as if they were my bestest friend. Spending time with animals makes my day and I have never met a pet that hasn’t loved me! I am in college part time. When I come home the first thing I do is walk my dogs and feed my cats. I make sure all of my animals have everything that they need. My schedule is pretty open for the most, and I always find time to take care of pets. The first thing I would do with your pet or pets is make sure they’re comfortable with me, and that they are happy. Afterwards, I would make sure they are fed properly and have plenty of water. I would try to play with them, and make them as happy as possible.
