5. Sidney A.
“Sidney was a HUGE help. We needed a house sitter last minute and she responded quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet in advance for our peace of mind. We were out of state so it was very important we had updates and communication. Sidney went above and beyond to provide photos, videos and constant reassurance of how things were going. She respected our house rules and asked for permission before anything. We appreciated her greatly and are now rebooking her moving forward🤗”

About: I taken care of my friend's puppy on occasions. I have rehabilitated fallen birds when I was a child and I have taken care of many pets over the years. I work from home and I can take care of your pet while at home. I have more time on the weekend but I am home at all times. I have a bricked fence in my home that has a garden that the pet can enjoy. They will enjoy the diverse amount of plants.

“Garrett is a great care giver when it comes to pets. He is a big guy with a big heart, always thinking about our cats needs and our dogs needs. He always makes sure they both have fresh food and water. He even goes out of his way to buy toys for our pets. He genuinely loves interacting with our pets and loves walking our dogs. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants a competent person who loves all animals big and small while their away at work or vacation.”

19. Elisa U.
“Elisa went above and beyond when caring for my dog. She helped work us into her busy schedule and was very flexible with us considering that the hours worked were a bit lengthy. She helped work out a plan that would benefit her and my furry friend. My dog loved spending time with Elisa and didn’t show any signs that he had been upset when in her care. It was also nice to receive a photo of her and my dog during his time with her. I would definitely recommend her to a friend and would be willing to rebook if I ever needed a sitter again.”
