Sarah was fantastic with our chihuahua. He can be a little fussy until he gets to know you and Sarah bonded with him right away. She did a fantastic job of house sitting and pet care while we were away. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Kendra was professional, prompt, and communicative. Our little pup took to her well, and she clearly enjoyed Kendra's company. Kendra was very conscientious regarding the house. I would recommend her highly.

Amanda was awesome. My Nani girl who is leery of strangers took to right away upon meeting her the first time. She kept in contact and let me know how the pups were doing and sent pics too. All the dogs seemed very happy and calm when we got home.

Jorden is always so responsive! When my return flight was delayed, Jorden went back and fed my guys and walked my dog one more time... so grateful to have such a caring, trustworthy person to watch them!

We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.

Kayla was fantastic! She helped me in short notice and stayed at my place. I got updates on my dog and how he was doing, and she was very communicative regarding her schedule in tandem with my dog’s. She also happened to be at my place when there was an issue with a leak, and if it wasn’t for her quick response to me then I would’ve come home to a huge mess. She cares about you and your companion(s)! Thank you for being compassionate and respectful, Kayla!

I currently have 5 cats.. and one gentle husky/Collie sweetest Puppy ever who craves for companionship <3 I have a nice area for my cats (also a nice fenced cat patio) and a decent size back yard. I live on quiet dead end st. If your dog is boarding with us. At night time, He will have three options. Have its own crate, Or it can be free (as long as it is house trained and won't chase after my other fur-babies -cats- ??) Orrr Sleep in my bed with all my other fur-babies. If you need me to come to your house. I could also do that as well and provide kisses, hugs, playtime, food, water and cleaning. (Special instructions welcome) Oh and please I could also take care of and board Cats or other pets too!!! I love them all and it’s going to be my pleasure! ( I do have a separate area for all my cats and it’s full of fun stuff and catnip ??. But they do have full access of the house at all time) No outdoor cats please. Please come visit me and my fur babies! I am a stay at home mom. And I have plenty of free time in my hands. It would be a pleasure for me and my teens to take care of your pet. It will depend on the client's preference. I could do crating, or free run of the house. (If pet is house trained). Nice decent yard and safe neighborhood.

Julisa was wonderful - she stayed in frequent contact, sent pictures and, when our rascal of a dog breached the fence and ran off, she immediately got on the phone with me and we tracked him down at a neighbor’s house. I know what a terrible feeling that is when watching someone else’s furry babies and Julisa handled it so well.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.

Our time away as so much better than I imagined! Our animals LOVED Nichole and all the time she spent with them. We have some unique personalities over here that require patience and gentleness. All of our animals are rescues from terrible situations, and because of that, we have never left them in the care of someone else. But, our son got married and we had to be a part of his day. Thank you for allowing us that, Nichole. We are so happy to have found you and look forward to enjoying life a little bit more ♥️
