Maureen did an amazing job. She bonded beautifully with my dog. She also frequently sent me detailed messages and photos about her activities with my dog, as well as the dog's bowel and bladder functions, and eating. Overall she did an outstanding job.

Bobbie S is an amazing dog sitter. She took such good care of our dogs and followed our instructions to the letter. Our dogs were in such a relaxed and happy mood when we returned just as if we had been there ourselves. 6/5 stars.

We could not have been happier with the help Courtney provided with our pups. She took great care of them, and they have never been away from all of us overnight. They were well taken care of, and Courtney even provided notes on work we can continue to do with our puppy. We will be bringing Courtney back again. Our dogs love her, and she is amazing at what she does.

Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!

This was Sarah’s first stay with Bunny and she did great, kept us informed, kept the house tidy and when we returned, Bunny acted like we had never left, she obviously received her usual amount of spoiling. So glad we can count on Sarah for our longer trip next month!

Justine was amazing ? my dogs loved her and she sent me plenty of updates, pictures and videos and that was so thoughtful of her because I was nervous since this was my first time using this service. I came home to a Clean house and that felt amazing because I was exhausted. Will definitely be booking her again for my next work trip!

Victoria watched my sweet, anxious doggo for a quick weekend and was very wonderful! She took great care of her and gave my pup the time to warm up and met her where she was at. Definitely would use Victoria again and recommend her to anyone needing some great care/love of their pet!

Erica stayed with our Pup and Kitty Cat last weekend! This was our first time working with Erica, and we recommend her highly. She was prompt, professional, flexible, friendly and clearly loves and knows about animals. She asked all the right questions and followed through, making everything easy for us and quickly earning our confidence. And she sent photos, so we could see how things were going. We are grateful to have met you, Erica - thank you for making it possible for us to attend a special family event out of town!

Allie was so amazing from meeting her to the end of the stay. From the moment she walked in the door the dogs felt very comfortable with her , so that made me very comfortable to have her take care of our pups and cats! ☺️…. I would 💯 h choose Allie to watch my animals again…. Or even just a pop in to check on the pups, because they probably miss her! 🥰

Our flight got cancelled and Maria came to the rescue! One of our two dogs is very nervous and it is always scary for us to have someone walking into the home without us there. But because they know and love Maria, we knew that our dogs were in good hands when she stayed with them for a few hours when our trip home was delayed. How they react to her is a good indication of the care that she gives them.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

We hired Marcus for house sitting and he was awesome! It’s our first time leaving our dogs for a long time under someone else’s care and instead of being anxious, we felt at peace. Our furbabies loved him, even our senior dog who’s shy and sensitive. We highly recommend Marcus and will definitely hire Marcus every time we’re out of town 😊

Gretchen was fantastic with my dog, Marshall. It was immediately clear that she has a genuine love for animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. Marshall took to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She took him on nice long walks, gave him plenty of attention, and did a wonderful job keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was to his routine and needs. Gretchen was also incredibly respectful of my home and left everything spotless. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both an excellent pet sitter and such a considerate house guest, but she was both. I would absolutely trust Gretchen with Marshall again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter.

This was the first time I left my little girl Doxie, Annie, with anyone but family. It was an excellent experience. Maureen was wonderful. I heard from her daily with pictures. Annie was relaxed. She seemed to feel good about being with Maureen. I was so pleased. Maureen took care of the house and even watched some of the outside birds that I feed. I am looking forward to having her here again.

I am grateful to Victoria for her care of my dog Ella, a senior girl with multiple health issues requiring careful medication administration. She followed feeding and medication guidelines, got Ella to play, took her for daily walks and responded quickly when asked for updates. This morning, Ella went looking for her in the bedroom, even though I am here! I think that says it all.
