1. Marcia S.

“Our dog and our home were in great hands with Marcia. We were gone for two weeks and I was nervous to hire a dog sitter, but she took care of everything and our dog was so happy when we returned. She was easy to communicate with and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”


2. Terry K.


“Terry was absolutely great! Not only did she take great care of my precious doggie, she sent daily texts and pictures, but she also left my house spotless! Great communicator and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Terry and plan to book her whenever I’m away.”


3. Sidney R.

“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”


4. Travis M.

“Travis did a great job with our two dogs and cat! He was very attentive and caring to our animals, which we greatly appreciated. He sent us pictures and kept in touch with us daily too, which we asked for and loved. He was also very responsible at our home and left it in the same condition in which he found it. Highly recommend and will hire him again.”


5. Madalynn L.

“She was very sweet always sending pictures of our fur babies. She kept them active and loved so they wouldn't worry about where we were. We recommend her highly and will be our go to in the future!!!”


6. Ann A.

“Ann was great. She watched our dog and our house for 11 nights, and took care of a couple other tasks for us. We will definitely try to book her again next time we leave town!”


7. Carissa G.

“Carissa did an amazing job with our two dogs during a 5 day vacation! She has excellent communication, is honest, and reliable. She left our house exactly as we left it. The dogs loved her too! I would definitely hire Carissa again in the future!”


8. Courtney E.

“Courtney was very communicative, left the house in great condition after staying there, and our dog was very comfortable with Courtney! Will definitely book again :)”


9. Kendall B.

“Kendall took great care of my pets! They both require medication (oral pills for my dog, a gel for my cat) and Kendall completed all aspects of their care. Kendall also took good care of my home and sent me lots of pictures. I came back to a clean house and happy pets! I would book with Kendall again!”


10. Jolie Zevallos

“Jolie is great. Good communication and goes above and beyond to spend quality time with our two large dogs. Very happy, will book again if possible.”


11. Lydia S.

“Lydia did a wonderful job sitting again with me at home. My pets truly love her. They just feel right at home with her. Thank you so much again Lydia for your service and I will look forward to contacting you again in the near future for more sits! Cheers, Melanie”


12. Amanda R.

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”


13. Emily J.

“Emily was absolutely amazing. Our Frankie can be a little wild at times, being only 11 months and a high energy breed. Emily handled her with grace and compassion. When we got home the house was clean, Frankie was comfy in her kennel. We truly could not have asked for a better experience.”


14. Melissa H.

“Melissa took great care of Lacey, was very communicative and I cannot recommend her more! She's loving and attentive towards the pets and a lovely person to be around. Thanks again for hanging out with our girl!”


15. Shikha V.
“Shikha is a wonderful pet owner! She currently has a pet cat named Chunni. In the time that I have known her, I have seen Shikha be an incredibly loving, affectionate, and caring human companion for Chunni. She has gone to incredible lengths to care for any of Chunni’s digestive issues she had when Shikha first adopted her, to supply her with toys and play with her, clean her litter box, and to keep the house clean in order to keep her as healthy as possible. I think she would be an incredible pet caregiver for your service.”


16. Jacob T.
“My family and I highly recommend Jacob T. He is a very responsible individual who has cared for dogs, cats, and reptiles. He genuinely likes the animals, and they relate positively to him.”


17. Mara K.

“Mara did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our dog and cat while we were away for a weekend. She stayed in touch and sent a few pictures to let us know how they were doing and when she'd be heading out on the final day. Highly recommend and look forward to having her house sit and care for our pets again!”


18. Elizabeth B.
About: I’ve taken care of animals (dogs specifically) for about 4 years now. I started working in the field with labs specifically. We would give them medicine, take them outside, help birth babies, and most importantly give them lots and lots of attention. I also have my own doggy. He is a little corgi with TONS of sass. Not to mention very needy:) I treat any dog I meet like my own. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I take care of my dog and his needs. We go on walks and go to the park during the week. I try and get him out as much as possible, we both love nature. I also help friends out when they are not able to be home. I care for pets in my clients home by instructions given by said client. Whatever the dog may need I am able to provide and more!


19. Michelle Z.
“I would highly recommend Michelle as a pet caregiver. Michelle is very kind, loving, thoughtful, and extremely trustworthy with animals. Michelle watched my 2 cats regularly and was amazing. My cats trust her as much as they trust me. I will continue to use Michelle to care for my boys.”


20. Chandra D.
“Chandra has been taking care of our dogs for the last 3 years and does a fantastic job! Our girls love her! She is kind, responsible and trustworthy. We never have to worry when Chandra is staying with the girls, we know they are in excellent hands!”
