Kim was a great friend to our dogs, and kept them happy and cared for them as if they were her own. Definitely plan on having her watch our three dogs again in the future. Thanks Kim!!

Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!

Devynn was wonderful. I was on a cruise and didn’t have service so she made sure to keep in contact with my mom until I could check in. Mumfy seemed so happy. She sent pictures every day. I will definitely use her again.

Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.

Raina was awesome! 10/10!! The pets were well taken care of and loved her, I know, because they all slept in the bed with her, and they only do that when comfortable. She also left the house clean and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Raina for pet sitting, and we will book her again!

About: I bring skills and support beyond the basics. reliable, versatile, and here to make your life easier. Big communicator. Experienced, patient, tolerant and genuinely care. I am currently looking to do this full-time. I am someone who loves helping others in lots of ways. From pet sitting to bartending private events and babysitting or helping around the house, I bring reliability and get it done. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I find myself doing it often by just being asked ! I’m very active and like to frequent the bayfront and other parks in the area. Will keep animal away from others in public but still get outside and exercise.

Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I don't just watch the dogs - I connect with them. I take time to understand their personalities, routines and needs to fill safe, relaxed and loved while you are away. Because I work from home, caring for dogs fits naturally into my day. I am able to provide lots of walks, outdoor time play and companionship throughout the day. Its a joy to have pet time as part of my daily routine. Your dogs safety and comfort is my number one priority whether it is in your home or mine. I pay attention to all the details you provide me regarding your pets personality and needs.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 6. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

Nick stayed in our house to watch our mini dachshund while we were away for 5 days. This was the first time we had left her like this and with a stranger so we were nervous. Nick was a great communicator, sent tons of photos, and followed directions well. We came home to a happy pup!

We are so grateful to have found Stephanie. Our sweet poodle Justice came home the day before from surgery and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger. However Stephanie's calm presence and obviously love for animals came through and Justice was very open to her. Stephanie communicated with us while we were away as well as shared photos. I look forward to having Stephanie come again or Justice going to her home.

We had a last minute need for a sitter and our usual sitter was not available. I am always nervous about using a new sitter, but Jill’s profile seemed like she could be a good fit. She came for a meet and greet that day, and after meeting her in person I felt comfortable with her sitting for us. Jill spent the weekend with our dog and did a great job. She followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our dog was safe, fed, and well cared for while we were gone. We received photo updates and she was quick to respond to our texts. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She’s a trustworthy, calm, and responsible person who I don’t hesitate to recommend. We will book with Jill again!

There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
