Our dog misses Kayley. Kayley went above and beyond for our pup and we are very appreciative. She followed all of our instructions, followed up with us throughout her stay, and took the highest care of Priscilla (our pup). We took a chance on Kayley, as this was our first time hiring a house sitter, and now, as long as Kayley is available, we aren't going back to a boarding facility. I suspect our dog wants us to leave again so Kayley will visit. We have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for Hayley. We recommend her with absolutely zero reservations or hesitation. She did an outstanding job.

Mercedes is a gem. We had to leave our fur babies for 2 weeks and she was incredible. She was very patient and followed our instructions really well. Also on the day we’re about to leave, one of my dogs had an injury, luckily not very serious. She was very attentive to him and took him to the vet on our behalf; including administering medication. She also sent us daily updates, left the house very clean. She’s very personable and easy to talk with. We highly recommend her!

To whom it may concern. I've had the pleasure of having Georgia as a neighbor for many years and she was always a self starter. She frequently asked if there were any small jobs she could assist me with. These tasks include picking up dog waste in my back yard. Other tasks included assisting with mowing my very large lawn with out any complaints. When my wife & I would leave town we didn't hesitate to ask Georgia to watch our home which included taking care of our cat & my 55 gallon fish tank. She also collected the mail and assured our house was checked. Georgia is very reliable and communicates very well when we where gone. I would recommend her very highly for any task she would be expected to perform. Sincerely Bill Martin

I was so nervous to leave our 13 year old fur baby as both my husband and I were going out of town for work. Jessica took all of my worries away. Her updates and upbeat attitude helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely trust her to watch our sweet boy again! I am so thankful for her!

Autumn was amazing! And that’s an understatement. So much more than we expected. We have two big high energy dogs and she did great with them. She went above and beyond with not only our dogs but our cats and our home. This was the first time leaving our animals anytime over night and she put us at ease. Will definitely be rebooking with her and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!

Sage was an excellent sitter for my puppy 'Dasha'. It was clear that she cared for my puppy with a warm heart and I can tell Dasha enjoyed her stay with Sage. I highly recommend Sage! I will be looking her up again the next time I need a sitter. Thank you Sage, et.al.!

From the moment we met Andrea, we knew our dogs were in great hands. Entrusting someone to care for our three dogs (Pumpkin, Roxie, and Daisy) for an entire week is no small task, but Andrea exceeded every expectation. Every day, she would send us photos and updates, which were more than reassuring—they were a delightful treat that gave us peace of mind. Not only could we see that our dogs were happy and well-taken care of, but they genuinely seemed to love spending time with Andrea. But Andrea didn’t stop at simply caring for our dogs. Her proactive nature and thoughtfulness shone through as she took it upon herself to water our plants, gather our mail, and even run the vacuum, ensuring we returned to a clean and welcoming home. It's not just about the tasks she performed or helping to care for the “girls” while we were out of town, but the genuine love and care she poured into every one of them. Our dogs’ fondness for Andrea speaks volumes about her nature and the connection forms with pets. In a world where it's hard to find trustworthy and dependable individuals, Andrea stands out as someone who goes the extra mile, not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided us during our trip and the impeccable care she offered to our furry family. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone needing dog-sitting and house-sitting services. She is a gem! Thank you, Andrea, and we hope to work with you again in the future!

About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for taking care of various kinds of animals, but particularly cats and dogs. I have 10+ years of experience dog and cat sitting for others and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new furry friends! I just graduated law school and I’m currently home full-time while studying to take the bar exam. I have lots of time to cuddle and play with your pet(s) throughout the day! My apartment complex has a small dog park and lots of paths for walking dogs. I walk my dog 2 miles each day because we love to be outside (rain or shine)! Pets can be easily crated if needed but is certainly not a requirement.

Brandi was great!! We eere in town for a wedding. I have never left my dogs with anyone before so I was a little worried about how they would do. She was wonderful with them. When we came back to the hotel the first night, she was sitting on the floor giving the big dog bellie rubs (which he loves). I would diffinitely use her again.

About: Not only have I grown up around dogs all my life, but I have gone to dog training classes and can use these experiences ensure the well-being of your pets. I am also experienced with giving medicine to animals and am comfortable doing so if needed. I have a car and am working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time to devote to the needs and care of your pets. I believe it is important to establish trust with the pets. I like to meet the animals at least once before I care for them so that they will be more familiar with my presence.
