1. Carissa W.
“Carissa is a highly motivated, animal lover. She was the only one who could bathe my cat besides the veterenarian. She is very clean and loves to play with any kind of animal. She will treat your pet like it is her own and give that pet the perfect amount of tender loving care.”




2. Jessica & Matthew D.

“Matt and Jess were very dependable. It was obvious to us that Beau enjoyed Matt's 2 night stay. We would recommend them and we will use them again.”


3. Kaylah C.


“Another perfect stay. We trusted Kayla with our kids for eight days while we were out of the country. She sent us regular updates, pictures, and videos and monitored one dog who had a hot spot (and is difficult to deal with). Always a pleasure, we're so comfortable leaving them with her and so happy she was available for the time we planned our vacation.”


4. Catarah R.

“Catarah sit my Yorkie puppy (at my house for 4 days). She was attentive and communicated throughout the whole time. She was so kind and arrived on time. I left out of state and she was always sending updates of my dog. She treated my dog well and provided my dog attention. I will 100% rebook! I would recommend her to anyone!”


5. Meaghan M.
“Meaghan watches our dog every time that my family and I go out of town. We get frequent pictures of him playing with her own dogs and of him being snuggled. We always know that our pet is in the best care when we go out of town! Meaghan treats our dog like her own and he loves every time that he gets to play with her dogs and get all the snuggles!”


6. Emily S.

“Absolutely wonderful! Emily is one of a kind. Thoughtful, kind, respectful... and reliable.”


7. Kimberly B.

“She was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my dogs being taken care of or coming home to a mess. My dogs were well loved and my house was the same as I left it! I was sent pictures and kept in communication with Kimberly! I'd highly recommend her!”


8. Destiny B.

“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”


9. Madison G.
“Ivan is one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met and so good with animals! I don't trust my pets with many people, especially since my older dog has on set dementia/ health issues and doesn't like people but he loved Ivan instantly. Ivan has stayed in my home and taken care of my 3 pets like they are their own and given them the love and care they needed. I trust Ivan fully with my babies. And Ivan is one sitter I would highly recommend! The compassion they have for animals is unmatched!”


10. Tess N.

“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”


11. Tanya C.

“Tanya expertly cared for my sometimes challenging dog, including managing her medication and some last-minute dietary changes. Would absolutely recommend you hire her!”


12. Daisy M.

“Daisy was great! Arrived on time, kept in communication while we were gone, and followed all directions. Will definitely be using her again!”


13. Frances A.

“This experience was the best I’ve experienced with a pet sitter! Frances went above and beyond what was expected. She took very good care of the pets. She was very attentive. She informed me every day of everything. She cleans the house she clean the patio area. I will be definitely booking again for her. 😊”


14. Ashley G.
About: I offer complete pet-sitting services for a diverse range of animals, including dogs (experience with reactive breeds), chickens, guinea pigs, and other farm animals. I provide personalized care, ensuring each pet's specific needs are met, from tailored exercise and feeding routines to specialized attention for reactive dogs. My goal is to create a comfortable and secure environment where your animals thrive while you're away, giving you peace of mind. I work 3rd shift 11pm- 7:30am most nights. I can board animals in my home during these hours but they will be confined to crates or rooms inside. On my days off (2-3 per week) I can make more accommodations I can take care of your pets as directed by you, with several years of personal training, and experience handling nervous and reactive dogs. I have a spare room they can stay in that’s separate from other pets if need be.


15. Jade F.

“We are extremely happy with the service provided by Jade. We have an older English Bulldog who we prefer to keep at home when we go away. Jade provided photos and updates, and it was very clear that our dog did well with her. She was happy and healthy when we returned home. I would highly recommend Jade, and we plan on using her again in the future.”


16. Megan H.

“Meghan did a great job with our rambunctious dogs. They barely batted an eye when we got home, a sure sign they were very comfortable with Meghan. She took them for lots of walks. Communication was great. She didnt hesitate to ask when she had a question. She sent pics. She took great care of the house as well. Highly recommend.”


17. Alexis M.
“Alexis watched my two large dogs for a week. Alexis did a great job with the dogs and keeping us updated daily. Alexis left our home exactly as it was when we left.”


18. Nicole T.
“Nicole did a great job! Lots of communications and pictures. I will definitely book her again.”


19. Emma M.

“Miss Emma was very good with Jax. He was able to learn and work on a few manners and get lots of snuggles.”


20. Conner S.
“I went away for a weekend and left my 1 year old husky/aussie mix with Conner. I had never been away from my dog (Nash) this long and was nervous to say the least as I know he can be a handful. Conner could not have done a better job making sure he got tons of exercise and love. She even got him a couple toys while I was gone. Its safe to say Nash really enjoyed his staycation with Conner and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter/Walker.”
