1. Molly H.
“Omg Molly was great !! I missed my fur baby, but had so much fun on my trip knowing she was in great care. Molly kept her entertained & well cared for I will definitely do this again !!”
2. Kimberly G.
“Kimberly and her son stayed at our place over Christmas to take care of our epileptic pup who requires twice daily meds and a little extra love. Her communication was top notch and we never once had to worry about Pax while we were gone. It was very clear that they showed him much love and attention, and I knew I could trust her if anything went wrong. Other reviewers aren’t kidding about things being cleaner when you get home! I would absolutely book her again :)”
3. Jessica S.
“Jessica was amazing! She sent frequent and useful updates on my kitty while I was away, and was extremely easy to communicate with. I felt completely confident with her, and I will be using her again! Thanks again from Emma and Isaac ?”

About: I am a very attentive and loving pet sitter :) I grew up around animals and often found myself pet sitting for people in the community throughout my life!

5. Jaimie W.
“Jaimie did an excellent job with our pups! She treated them like her own and she sent us daily updates. We had no worries while we were away.”
6. Alex S.
“Thanks for taking great care of my pups!”
7. Matthew E.
“Matthew watches our German Shepard fora Week. Cooper loved him. When Cooper will sleep with you and let you give belly rubs you know he loves you. While we were gone I got a notice the lawn service was coming the next day for the final application of the year. I texted Matt and asked him if he could clean up the poop in the back yard. He not only cleaned it up he also raked the leaves. Amazing!! Before we left he spent an entire day with Cooper so they could get to know each other and see if he had any questions. He’s amazing and we will be using him next time we travel.”
8. Candida L.
“Candida will care for your pets like her own and believe me, they will be spoiled and very loved! She is a very honest and caring person so if you are looking for the best care for you pet, she's your girl!”
9. Matthew N.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have always been very good with my own dogs, along with other people's dogs (friends, family, neighbors.) I am currently in-between jobs after being laid off from a COVID testing facility and im looking for a way to get some supplemental income, and work with animals at the same time. I can accommodate essentially any pet needs, and am willing to work with the owners to best care for their dogs. I have two very friendly dogs.
10. Ellen C.
“Ellen did a wonderful job taking care of Zoe. She took her on walks and played some of her favorite games with her. I highly recommend Ellen if you need a reliable sitter.”
11. Olivia H.
“Olivia was really great! Super loving and patient with our shy girl. Her communication was top notch.”
12. Stella N.
About: I have always been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love playing with pets, and keeping them company. The thing I love most about dogs is that their so genuine, and sweet. I especially like to train pups! I am basically living my life around pets! So that means, always finding the time in taking care of animals, because like small children, they need to be watched over, and looked after. I’m very courteous when entering a new home, and I really like to establish what is called “a sitter-to-dog-to owner relationship, where the owner(s) feel like they can trust me, and their dog or dogs feel like they can too.
13. Rebecca R.
“Rebecca is so great with my dogs and I always come home to happy pups and my house as I left it! She's great with photos also, so my mind can be at ease when leaving my dogs for over nights and check ins! Highly recommend!!”
14. Anna R.
About: Grew up on a farm. I’ve always had a love for all animals. I’ve had my own cat for almost 10 years and I’ve had dogs for 7 years. I work out of the house 4 days a week for 8-9 hours. Weekends are available for boarding. Evenings are for walking or fetch in the yard. Large fenced in backyard. I have a large more playful dog and a medium couch potato. The entire home is pet friendly with the exception of my daughter’s room which is the cat’s sanctuary.
15. Amanda R.
“Amanda was great with my boy! She even arranged to come on short notice. The pictures and videos gave me no doubt my dog was having a good time. Ended up getting a nice spring snow storm and she went above and beyond to do some shoveling. Would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
