Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰

Mary stayed with our 6 pets and managed our home very well when we traveled for a week. We got lots of pictures and videos and our pets were well cared for. I can definitely recommend Mary for your pet care and I will use her again next time we have need.

Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!

Where do I begin, Midori exceeded my expectations in every way! She is gentle and loving toward our pets, flexible and trustworthy. She kept me updated with pictures and daily activities. At the last minute my daughter dropped her cat over too and Midori took care of both animals with TLC!!! I will hire Midori again and again…she is wonderful and accommodating and I was so relaxed on vacation because of her care!!!

About: I have raised dogs, cats, a turtle, and parakeets since I was the size of a puppy, and I’ve treasured every minute of the experience. I’m always looking for ways to improve the lives of all animals I share a space with, from brushing teeth and giving baths to hiking and basic training - plus plenty of scratches and love. I'm currently working part-time, with a ton of availability for you and your pet family! Nights, weekends, even potentially some holidays are all on the table. I am an attentive and caring pet owner, and an animal lover in general, and am happy to suit your loved one’s needs and tempo. I’ve been around many different animal personalities in my life, and am well adjusted to frequent walks and attention, as well as capable of handling minor first aid should the need arise.

Erin was so great with Banner. She made sure to get him out for a walk or an adventure each day - something no other sitter has done. My boy is very high energy so he needs that stimulation she was able to provide! She updated me with pictures and texts each day which made me feel confident that Banner was in good hands. Thank you Erin for a great first stay with Banner!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over three years. I’ve had various experiences with dogs and cats. As someone who has a dog of their own, I’ve been able to observe behaviors that’s helped when taking care of other dogs, to understand their needs and wants. I currently work remotely however, it doesn’t take time away when it comes to the fur babies! In fact, it allows me to be present and give them the much needed attention. I understand the environment the pets are settled in. I give daily updates to the home owner, making sure that any anxiety of leaving their pets behind is relieved. I bring my own food and care.

Jess was very caring and enjoyed being with Lark. She did what was asked of her and that we were very appreciative of. Our pup can be a little stubborn, so we're always thankful for other people's patience with him. I can tell she really cares for animals in general.

Nina was great. She stayed at our house for the week with our two dogs and you could tell by the pics they loved being with her. When we got home music was playing and the bed was stripped and in laundry. Would highly recommend.
