1. Nicole S.
“For 9 days, Nicole took excellent care of our cat, Tigger, while we were on vacation. Nicole came over daily, gave him food and water, cleaned his litter box, and gave him attention. She did exactly what we asked her to do. Before our vacation, Nicole was nice enough to come over 3 or 4 times so that Tigger could start to get used to her (she didn't ask to be paid for this, but we paid her anyway.) Tigger doesn't like strangers, but Nicole was able to be his buddy while we were away. When we arrived home, we found Tigger to be happy and well taken care of. We hope that Nicole is available next year to watch Tigger for us when we take another vacation.”
2. Lisa W.
About: I bred Australian Cattle Dogs & Jack Russell Terriers for several years so I understand the importance that obedience and communication play in running a pack. I also took care of 25 horses so I'm great with larger dogs. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend behind, especially when you want to go have some fun. You can call me and I'll be there! Go on that adventure you've been seeking to fulfill! Your pet is in good hands with me! I am a Full-Time mother & Animal Care Attendant. If you need an all day sitter, please try to give me at least two weeks in advance. I do work from 8 A.M-5:30 P.M with Mondays & Tuesdays being my weekend, so if you're okay with that, let's make a booking happen for you! I will drive to you. I live a very active lifestyle so I hope your dog likes to go for rides & walks around the neighborhood!

“Cindy has been amazing with my pup Raleigh. She has been flexible for me, sweet to him, and gives him a walk and snuggles. I get great pictures and updates! I absolutely recommend her!”
4. Jessika H.
“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”
5. Trina N.
“Trina took care of my two cats while I was away for 10 days recently. She did an excellent job of coming to my home daily to clean litter box, feed cats and make sure that they had fresh water daily. She would text me updates and pictures regularly to make sure that I knew they were being well cared for.”

8. Brendle W.
“Brendle did a fantastic job caring for Bubba while I was away. She was very flexible with her schedule, during pickup and drop off times, which took some of the stress off traveling. She ensured he wasn’t alone, and got all the attention he needed. I could tell by Bubba’s demeanor that he enjoyed his stay, he didn’t look stressed like he has in the past. Would definitely recommend Brendle!”
9. Madeline M.
“I can't say enough great things about Madeline and the care she provides for my dog, Hopper. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with him. Madeline cares for Hopper as if he were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made our lives much easier while traveling. She provides very personalized care and is easy to reach, as well as, gives updates during her stay. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a dog sitter. The peace of mind in knowing that Hopper is well cared for is priceless.”

“I can't recommend Mya enough! She took amazing care of my cat, Michonne, ensuring she was not only well-fed and comfortable, but also given the attention and affection she craves. From regular updates to thoughtful little touches — like playing with her favorite toys and keeping her routine consistent — I could tell Mya truly cares about animals. It was such a relief knowing my cat was in safe, loving hands while I was away. If you're looking for someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about pets, look no further!”
