1. Olivia O.

“Olivia did a TERRIFIC job caring for my shy cat. From the very first day she was able to get him to come out from his hiding places and spend time with her. WOW!!!!! Anduin is finicky when it comes to socialization but not with Olivia! She is his new best friend and I will not hesitate to have Olivia return in the future when I must be away from home. Thank you!!!”


2. Ellis B.

“Ellis helped us out in a pinch when we were in the middle of changing jobs! Our new puppy loved him and we trusted him from the start. He's a great guy, good with dogs, and I highly recommend his service!”


3. Samantha L.

“Samantha is the best!! I was in a tight spot on finding a sitter and reached out to her and she got back right away and saved me. Mav had the best time with her, he’s always doing his little wiggle dance when she walks through the door. I recommend her 100%, you won’t regret it.”


4. Lindsey H.

“Lindsey was so sweet with my dogs and was able to get my super shy dog out of his crate when usually he only comes out for me. My dogs get so excited when Lindsey comes over!!”


5. Steve L.
“When we met, Steve and I bonded over having a shared passion for rescuing dogs and cats. He has brought in cats who have appeared at our door, cold and hungry, and rescued dogs from poor living conditions and humane societies, cared for them and brought them out of their insecurities to feel safe and welcome. Your furry family member(s) will be well loved and taken care of by Steve and I am so pleased to be able to recommend his services!”


6. Laura G.

“Laura is fantastic and super awesome with Tüks! This last visit was kind of spur of the moment and Laura was super accommodating. We highly recommend Laura as does Tüks. Thank you!!!”


7. Trinity R.
“Trinity has watched our dogs over the years both on a day to day basis as well as overnights if required. She is gentle but firm with her expectations of the dog, and works with their breed and personality, basing the boundaries and limitations on every factor. She is energetic and fun and is equally capable of rainy day snuggles or long outings to the park to burn of energy. She is always reading their moods and is sensitive to their particular needs. Any dog or animal for that matter is in more than capable hands with her.”


8. Jessica M.

“Jessica has been pet sitting our two dogs for about two years now and she is absolutely amazing! She is kind and attentive to our dogs and they just love her! We always come home to well taken care of and relaxed dogs. She also sends frequent updates so we always know how our fur babies are doing. We would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker!”


9. Kassiopeia S.

““Thank you Kassiopeia for doing such a great job caring for Thumper! I/we had a wonderful experience with Kassiopeia she is genuine, reliable, good communication and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her help with Thumper again.To be able to leave him in such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks!””


10. Sue C.

“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”


11. Peter & Sarah P.
“I would very highly recommend Pete to watch anyone's pet. I have known him for almost 30 years. He is the godfather of my daughter, and I trust him with anything that is important to me. Pete and his awesome wife Sara have been foster parents for multiple animals; and have been pet owners for decades. When looking for anyone to take care of any of your pets, you can put all your confidence and trust in Pete.”


12. Benjamin S.

“Took great care of my boy while I worked! He got lots of exercise and was good and tired when I got home!”


13. Isabella V.

“Isabella was incredibly responsive and took wonderful care of our cats. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets.”


14. Valerie L.

“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”


15. Hannah F.
“Hannah is absolutely the most caring and responsible pet sitter we’ve ever had. We joke that our dog loves Hannah better than he loves us! Hannah will build a positive relationship with your pet, allowing you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is in excellent care. In addition to be engaging with your pet, Hannah will be communicative with you as the owner. Two thumbs up from me and two paws from my dog for Hannah as a caregiver!”


16. Ariana M.
About: My name is Ariana and I’m 22 years old. I’m doing this on the side until my kids go to daycare in the fall, And then I’ll be going back to work full time. I have a 1 1/2 year old and a 2 1/2 year old so the pups must be good with kids. I’ve had German Shepard’s my whole life so I’m used to and comfortable around dogs. I’ve been taking care of pets for years. I absolutely love being around and taking care of dogs no matter how small or big he/she is. I have a lot of availability so i can work with your schedule (: I have plenty of free time at the moment. I just graduated college and not working until the fall. My kids love dogs but they are also very respectful when it comes to giving them space. In my town we have long roads, nearby fields, and trails. They will be so loved and have fun here! I’ll take them for walks, and do baths upon request


17. Hope S.
“H is truly the most incredible dog sitter. She went above and beyond for our beautiful girl Millie. She not only gave her all the cuddles, but took her for long walks & hikes. We came home to a house that was way cleaner than it had been when we left and were surprised with printed out photos of their adventures together while we were away. H is professional, loving, kind, & incredibly caring. She is honest & trustworthy. The care she showed our Millie means so much to us. Anyone who is lucky enough to hire H will not be disappointed. She is a true, true gem. H- thank you for being you & taking such good care of Millie and our home.”


18. Moriah S.
“Moriah has always been an animal lover and caregiver. She has cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, you name it! Many of our family friends have hired her to house and pet sit for them while on vacations and she worked at our local humane shelter for a few years. Her own dog is a major challenge and Moriah has been very diligent to provide structure, consistency, and calm authority when dealing with challenges because she has an innate sense of what is best for the animal, not just what is most convenient for the caregiver. Moriah has been trusted to enter and stay in people's homes as a house and pet sitter with no issues or concerns. If I had a pet that needed care because I was out of town, working late, or simply unable to let my pet out for a pee break during the day, I would hire Moriah.”


19. Hilda N.
“Hilda has been dog sitting and dog walking for us for about a year now. She is always reliable and flexible with our irregular schedule. Our dog is high energy and requires lots of exercise. He loves taking long walks with Hilda! He is a strong and temperamental dog and she is very good at handling his challenging behavior too. We definitely recommend Hilda as a pet sitter or dog walker!!”
