1. Dawn M.
“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Becca is an incredibly attentive and loving caregiver, as I’ve witnessed firsthand in how she cares for her own cat, Izzy. She has an exceptional ability to understand animals’ needs and always prioritizes their well-being. Her natural connection with animals, combined with her calm and nurturing demeanor, helps pets feel safe and loved. Anyone who entrusts their furry family member to Becca will be making an excellent choice!”

8. Kylie M.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up for as long as I can remember and it’s thought me a lot of responsibility and respect for the animals. I’ve taken care of a lot of animals from cats and dogs to lizards and hamsters! You can always rely on me to follow directions and respect you and your furry companions. I’m no longer working as I am going to college in 2025, leaving me plenty of time to take care of my own animals at home, cook, and clean. I love bonding with animals and I believe it’s a great way for me to fill my day! I have two cats of my own and they have plenty of toys as well as a huge indoor cat tower. My cats also have an outdoor patio, or “catio” if you will. They love spending time outside in the fresh air and sunshine, with supervision of course. When they’re not running around being a menace we’re all cuddled up in bed relaxing and enjoying our time.
9. Kim M.
“Kim is so caring and got along really well with my cats (one of them is shy to most of the new people he meets)! Kim took care of them perfectly and also sent a lot of pictures so I got to know how they were doing.”
10. Micaela C.
“Micaela is the most caring and considerate human being. She has taken care of our dogs for several years and she loves them as if they are her own. She often drops off treats for them and recently welcomed our new rescue puppy with a special toy that has become her favorite. She is reliable and kind and my pups are always so excited to see her.”
11. Chelsea L.
“Chelsea took really good care of our kitty. We came back to a tidy house and a happy cat.”
12. Danielle V.
“Danielle provided compassionate care for our elder cat, who is very shy and reclusive. Her patience and creativity in trying to have him emerge from his safe hiding places are to be commended. We came home to a very content and happy cat! Thank you, Dani!”
13. Roz S.
“Roz was absolutely great watching our cat over the holidays! She sent daily photos and great updates, would definitely use her again next time we need a cat sitter!”
14. Mara L.
“Mara was a wonderful caregiver for my two adult cats! She gave them extra attention and made sure they got tons of play time / exercise in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter box. She was very punctual, always responsive to the cats’ needs, and went out of her way to give them plenty of enrichment. I felt that my cats were completely safe in her care, and would absolutely have her watch them again! It is clear she is a very responsible animal lover!!”
15. Pauline S.
“Pauline went above and beyond caring for my cat. My cat took to Pauline, and Pauline not only fed, cleaned, and played with my cat, but also helped with a small thing in the house while we were gone. Would recommend and book again!”
16. Heidi S.
“Heidi did a wonderful job! Our crazy fun loving Golden Retriever was in great hands. Extremely respectful and responsive. She also followed directions extremely well. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. Thank you Heidi!”
