1. Dianne G.
“Dianne was absolutely fabulous! She stayed in our home with our senior almost 17 year old and energetic year and a half old pups and did a wonderful job while we were gone! Would highly recommend! :)”
2. Tiffany T.
“Tiffany watched our 2 Ridgebacks at our home for 5 days and nights. I have a puppy 8 months old and a senior almost 12. I trust her implicitly with my dogs. They mean so much to myself and my husband and I don’t leave them with just anyone. This was the first time that we would have been away from the puppy more than a couple of hours. She kept us up to date daily and sent lots of pics. The pup adjusted and settled in quickly because of Tiffany’s amazing dog skills. She kept the house and the yard very tidy despite the rain and mud. Next time we go anywhere she will be my first call. She is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loved the dogs. You won’t be sorry if you book with her.”
3. Kelly G.
“Kelly was very responsive to my request for dog-sitting and she came on time to my house and sent updates throughout the day (with photos) on how our puppy was doing. I could tell that she cared a lot about taking care of our pet, and she did a great job! Would definitely book her again.”
4. Meredith C.
“Meredith was great. The dogs were taken care of very well. We received pics every day of them being them. The house was in tact; the dogs were fat and lazy; and my wife and I had peace of mind while on vacation. I would highly recommend.”
5. Meaghan W.
“Meaghan was great from the meet & greet to the house sitting, and even staying a little later when requested due to our delayed flight. Lots of pics and updates - we felt totally at ease knowing our pups were being cared for. Will definitely book her again.”
6. Alex H.
“Alex was a LIFESAVER. She was amazing with our puppy. We had booked with her for our wedding day and she went above and beyond. She got to our house on time and was able to bring our dog to and from the venue for pictures with no questions asked. We will definitely be using her for our puppy anytime we need a sitter.”
7. Kathleen D.
“Kathleen was wonderful with our dog Amy. She came by for a meet and greet. She confirmed the dates and times a week before staying with her. She sent us a message with a photo when she arrived and another when she left. We hope Kathleen can come and stay with our dog again.”
8. Daniela C.
“Daniela was an amazing sitter for Frankie while we were away. She gave her lots of attention and sent us plenty of updates to let us know how they were doing. Will be working with her again in the future!”
9. Cassidy B.
“There aren't enough stars to give Cassidy, as she deserves more than five! I had given up hope that I would ever find somebody I could trust 100% to take care of my senior boy, Leon. He needs some guidance and assistance, as he is 14 years old with arthritis, and likes to be waited on. I am so happy that I found Cassidy here! This was the first time I was ever away from Leon and felt 100% comfortable that he was completely taken care of and all of his needs were met. She sent me pictures and detailed messages documenting the visit, informing me on how he was doing. I could not be happier. I recommend Cassidy 100%! I will definitely be having her here as Leon's regular sitter. She even left me a cute thank you note. It is a great feeling to know Leon has somebody I can count on now! Thank you so much Cassidy!”
10. Audrey K.
“Audrey was so fantastic! We had her house sit and watch out aussiedoodle for 12 days while my husband and I traveled. We had previously boarded our dog and this was such a better experience. Audrey was reliable, responsive, and so good with our pup. We had peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands and comfortable in her own home. Audrey was also very respectful of our home and kept everything spotless! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!”
11. Nicola P.
“Nicki was great with our small dog and cat. She is very responsive and attentive to their needs, and very respectful of the house. I would definitely book with her again!”
12. Leesha G.
“Leesha was great! Very professional and asked thorough questions before watching our dog for the long weekend! Our dog instantly loved her! She kept us updated and sent pics and videos! So grateful that she took such good care of Wilson!”
13. Erin D.
“Erin took such good care of my kitty cat! She sent me pictures & gave him so much love. He’s usually a bit shy & introverted, but she had him entirely comfy & out of his shell by the first night. I will be recommending Erin as often as I can! Thank you Erin :)”
14. Grace B.
“Grace is my daughter and she grew up in a household with several dogs. One of my fondest memories is of the day we picked up our retriever/shepherd mix Cody at the rescue center and he road the entire 30 miles home snuggled in her lap. After that day, anytime Grace would walk into the room Cody would pop up to get a hug from her. Such is a example of a special bond she seems to have with dogs. Grace is a loving and caring person and has years of experience taking care of dogs and horses. In my biased opinion, she would be an excellent dog sitter for anyone.”
15. Iliana M.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Iliana take care of my two dogs and my cat while I was away for a few days. Her service was nothing short of exceptional, and I could not be more pleased with the care my pets received. Iliana's attention to detail and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. One of the highlights of my experience was how well Iliana communicated with me during my trip. She sent regular updates and photos, which provided great peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I highly recommend Iliana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Her professionalism and dedication truly stand out. I hope to be lucky enough to use her services again in the future.”
16. Susan F.
“Sue was so fantastic with our 7 month pup! This was the first time we were leaving our girl alone overnight with someone else watching her. Sue was super patient with our nervous pup, allowing her to say hello when ready and really responding to how the dog was feeling. Sue provided so many detailed updates and pictures – it was great to see that our pup was doing well (and eased my worries being a nervous dog mom!). Sue was also very thoughtful about being sanitary and taking necessary COVID precautions, wiping down any surfaces she touched. I could not recommend Sue more and we’re looking forward to her watching our pup again!!”
17. Ryan K.
“Ryan took great care of my dogs:) He was kind & patient with my timid dog who wasn’t eating well while I was gone. He kept me updated with texts & pictures. The house & yard were tidy upon my return.”
18. Kathryn C.
About: Hi my name is Kat. I have grown up with animals my entire life. Starting out with cats, dogs, turtles and fish, I also took interest in exotic animals such as snakes, birds and frogs. Caring for animals has been my life-long ambition. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well as two years experience working at an animal rescue /dog training & daycare before beginning work as a pet sitter. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. Prior training classes have taught me how to interact with pets that may be a bit timid, or shy with new individuals. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies!
19. Natalia M.
“Natalia takes such good care of my cat, Benji! I appreciate her flexibility and communication.”
20. Sabrina G.
“Sabrina was a wonderful dog walker!! She built a great relationship with my 80lb Sheepadoodle. She was always on time, had great communication. She even went as far as coming early on a hot day to keep my dogs paws comfortable. I highly recommend Sabrina! Bella (the Sheepadoodle) does as well.”
