5. loralie w.
“Loralie is awesome!!! She watched my English bulldog and EllieMae went right to her wagging her little tail and I knew she would be in good hands. I’m a clean freak 😬 and when I got home it was still spotless. She’s the best!!”
6. Jeff L.
“Jeff did a terrific job of taking care of our pups. He stayed in our cottage, while watching our dogs (no small feat as they are Great Pyrenees - a 1 and a 2 year old) . Not everyone is up to the task of handling these gentle giants, so kudos to Jeff. He communicated with us daily with pics or a video. He also kept an eye out for deliveries to the residence. We will definitely book with Jeff again.”
7. Kristine C.
“Kristine is incredible! We were more than comfortable leaving our dogs with her over the weekend. She came to us for a meet & greet and I knew our dogs would be very happy with her. She kept us updated with photos and videos so we had total peace of mind while we were away, also left our house clean & tidy. Thank you!!”
8. Richard M.
“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!”
9. Ashlen D.

13. Deborah T.
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 3+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I currently work from home so I am able to dedicate quality time for the care of your pet. I am available Mon-Friday as well as weekends. I have an electric fence for my pup but when I pet sit, no pup goes out without supervision and on a leash. I allow pets to be comfortable in my home too but if you need them crated, I can accommodate that too.

I have eight animals of my own and she does amazing with them all! They love her dearly. She is extremely reliable. I trust her 100% with my crew and so should you! I work as a full time dog trainer and can definitely point out a true animal lover when I see one. She is patient with my older pups, kind, and overall just an amazing person. If you need someone to watch your animals, this is your girl! She won’t let you down.”
16. Paige M.
“Paige is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! We have 2 dogs, a kitty, and three chickens and she has been so loving and accommodating to all of them. She has done stop by feedings for us and has stayed at our house for a long weekend. She was clean and is totally trustworthy in every aspect. We highly recommend having her watch your fur or feathered babies 😊”
17. keeley w.
“Keeley was the first friend of my sons that came to my mind to dog sit my fur babies when I went on vacation! She is a fur mama herself and loves animals ! I love my dogs like children and would never leave them with anyone who wouldn’t treat them the same as I do ! They immediately bonded with her and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were safe and sound in her care ! I would recommend Keeley to anyone!”
18. Destiny W.
“Destiny did a good job watching my 2 doggies. A yorkie and pit bull mix. She offered to have an early meet and greet which helped them recognize her when she came to stay. House was neat and clean when I came home. I did have to reach out for my updates but not a big deal.”
19. Mathias H.
About: I've grown up with a love of all animals and have had at least one dog or cat in the family for as long as I can remember. My mom managed a boarding and training kennel and took me to work with her every day, where I not only assisted her with the daily tasks, but also learned about caring for animals of all types and sizes. I started pet sitting for family and friends around the age of 10, and also was responsible for taking care of the pets in our home. I take my animals out for regular playtime and bathroom breaks, clean up the yard, and feed and water as needed. We have an older dog so I've also gotten comfortable with administering medication, whether it's chewable, hiding pills in treats, or injecting into the animal itself. I was bit by the pet lover bug at an early age, and it's become a huge passion in my life. My schedule is open and ready to accommodate any of your pet sitting needs. I have reliable transportation so I can either stay overnight to pet sit for you or stop by for a quick check-in or playtime. I will treat your dog or cat like a member of my own fur family.I am comfortable feeding, crating, and administering medicine as needed. I will put the safety of your animals above everything else, so rest assured your pets are my top priority.
20. Carly C.
“I would like to start off by saying my dog is my child! I have trusted Carly to watch my fur baby on multiple occasions. Whether I am going out for a few hours or for the weekend; I have never had to worry about the safety or well-being of my Ellie. Being around Carly, it is easy to see how much she truly loves animals, and I cant think of a better person to take care of my pup than her! Would recommend 10/10!!!”
