“I am delighted to recommend Megan Williams as an outstanding and dependable pet sitter. During our recent trip, she took exceptional care of our French Bulldog, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with her service. From our first interaction, Megan was responsive, friendly, and professional. She took the time to thoroughly understand our dog’s needs and routines, ensuring he felt comfortable and well cared for in our absence. Megan’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Her dedication to this role is evident, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. I highly recommend Megan to anyone seeking a caring, reliable pet sitter.”
10. Naomi A.

12. Kaity G.
“I was going on vacation and needed someone to watch my dog and I was worried I would have to leave some place that would just have in her a kennel all week. Then I heard about Kaity, she did such an awesome job. I could tell she played with my dog and gave her the love she was use to receiving at home. I was meaning to give her a bath before leaving but was unable and Kaity bathed her for me. I was so thankful I would totally use her again. If you're needing someone to watch your dog I implore you to use Kaity she will give your dog what they are use to for sure.”

“Rhiannon fed my fish; and watched my golden retrievers when I was on vacation . She was very prompt and did a great job taking care of them. She followed all of my instructions on feeding them and checking their water bowls. She even took them for a walk and sent me lots of photos do I knew they were in good hands. I’d book Rhiannon again next time I’m out of town .”

16. Liyan S.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love and care for dogs, which stems from my experience with my own one-year-old puppy. I successfully potty trained him, and I treat him as if he’s my child, with patience, kindness, and respect. I never use negative language (ex. Calling him a bad dog) or harmful methods because I believe words and actions can deeply affect a dog’s emotional well-being. I ensure every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and valued, and I take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize spending quality time with my puppy every day, including feeding, playtime, walks, and training sessions. I maintain a consistent schedule to ensure he feels secure and cared for. I also dedicate time to grooming, monitoring his health, and providing mental stimulation through interactive activities. I work full-time, 2 days in office and the rest of the week from home. My puppy goes to daycare when I’m working in office so he could enjoy some time with other dogs and stay active! Pet care is not just a task for me—it’s a meaningful part of my life that I deeply enjoy. I have a Havanese little boy who weights 15 pounds and is so sweet, loves to play around and is goofy. If your dog needs to stay in a crate, that will definitely be an option, if not, then they will stay indoors while I ensure they’re taken on walks.
17. Harley M.
“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”
18. Daniel M.
“Danny is amazing with pets of all types of personalities! His whole family is full of animal lovers (some working in the veterinary and animal care industries) and he has recently been working really hard to become a dog trainer. He has an eclectic but well trained bunch of pets at home and, whenever I bring my dog over, he always includes her in all the play time and training. My dog can be a bit fearful at times, but he's helped her a lot with her confidence!”
19. Crystal M.
