“Grace is so friendly and lovely! Our chaotic crazy dogs adored having her overnight while our family went away. She checked in often and sent me updates which I really appreciated. Thanks so much Grace :)”
“Regan is a very responsible pet loving caregiver and pets know it! She is reliable and follows pet owner directions to a tee. Our four pawed furry friend loves her so much, he gets excited every time he sees her car pull up. I strongly recommend Regan.”
“Christopher watch our dogs for 8 days while we were gone! One of our dogs is insulin dependant and the other is a bit skiddish. Christopher made sure to come visit the house not once, but twice before we left so he made sure the dogs were comfortable with him! When we returned home, the house was just the way we left it, nice and clean! I would highly recommend him to watch your dogs as he truely does love dogs and is there for the well being of the dogs!”
“I can't say enough great things about Mackenzie Marmina as a pet sitter! She has a natural gift for caring for animals, and it truly shows in how she looks after dogs, guinea pigs, cats, and rabbits. Whether it's an energetic pup needing exercise, a shy cat needing gentle attention, or small pets requiring specialized care, Mackenzie handles it all with patience, responsibility, and love. She goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for, keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of affection. I've always felt at ease knowing my pets are in her capable hands, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter!”
About: Caring for pets comes naturally. Growing up with goldens, lab and a poodle. Then owing 2 Aussie Shepards and 3 cats. Shiloh the Shi Tzu is my latest pet, I trained her through professionals and now have a very loving dog, that love extends to all pets. I started by friends asking me to sit there dogs while they were away. Loving and caring for other dogs and cats, started as hobby and now I would love to do the same for you! I know that giving your dog exercise can greatly effect your pet in a positive way. They listen better and are generally happier. Love 💕 is a key ingredient to happier dog as well. Dogs are mostly comfortable in their own environment and their routines are very important to stay the same as they are used to. I am retired and have time to walk dogs, pop in to different homes to walk feed and care for other dogs. If they get along with other dogs can walk them with my dog. I will do both as my dog loves others or if the dog does not socialize well I can go to their home as needed.
“Kennedy took great care of my dog and cats while I was away. She sent me updates and asked questions when she needed to know about anything. It was a relief to know she was there and that my dog would get her meds on schedule. I would be happy to book Kennedy again!”
“Alyssa is a wonderful pet sitter! We were fortunate to have her care for our dogs and our house while we were away on an overseas trip. We have two dogs, one of whom is very anxious and requires twice daily medications. Alyssa cared for him with patience and empathy. She is a great communicator and responds to texts promptly. When we returned, our pets were calm and happy (and our house was immaculate)! I highly recommend Alyssa. You and your pets will love her.”
