Chunli was absolutely amazing while I was away in Japan! She took such great care of my cat — super reliable, caring, and always keeping me updated with pictures and little notes. I could tell my kitty was happy and comfortable the whole time. It really gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible cat sitter!

Jordan was absolutely the best! She was communicative and sent a lot of great photos of Charlie and Hudson. We knew they were having a wonderful time and in very good care with Jordan. We will definitely book Jordan as again for our next trips.

She was great. Unfortunately, had some issues with my dog during my time away. She acted promptly and brought her to the vet within minutes of alerting me of the problem. Very responsible.

Tetiana (Tanya) was amazing! Our dog is 18 years old, deaf and has separation anxiety and has dementia. We had to go out of town, and since he does not travel well, opted to have a sitter for the first time. Tanya loved him like he was her own. She gave us constant updates and photos. I could tell from the photos that he was very comfortable around her which is not an easy feat. Tanya has a very kind and warm energy and we couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be booking her again for our next vacation. Thank you, Tanya!

While I was away on my golf playing rounds, Eli looked after my dog wonderfully. Eli is such a kind and caring dog sitter. He treated my dog with so much love and attention, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’m so thankful for him warm heart and excellent care. Highly recommended!

Eliza was amazing with Hamachi. We recently adopted him and he has some separation anxiety. We wanted to go to a concert and it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. From the moment Eliza sat with him, he seemed at ease. Eliza is very personable, easy going, and caring. We enjoyed our date night knowing Hamachi was in good hands. We were running a little late coming home and Eliza stayed with him until we got back and was very flexible about it.

Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!

About: Hi I’m Rachel! You can feel at ease knowing that I am pampering your fur-baby to their hearts content. I have cared for animals my entire life, from horses to birds to puppies. I love to keep the pups mentally and physically stimulated whether it be food puzzles or beach days at fiesta island. I have attended dog training classes with my own dogs in the past, so I will apply what I have learned as I care for yours if you would like me to. I work from home, so the dog-walking breaks are just as refreshing for me as they are for your pup! Plus my schedule is very flexible. I have a Pomsky named Mochi who is a little over two years old. He is incredibly social, so if your dog is social as well it’s a great way for them both to burn some energy! I won’t introduce them unless you specifically ask me to though. Feel free to ask me any additional questions :)

Patricia did a fantastic job house sitting for my kitten. It was during the winter snowstorm of 2019. I was a bit concerned since nobody anticipated the snowstorm. I returned home and everything was in normal condition. My kitten was also very happy to have Patricia cat sitting.

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has recently relocated to the SD area. I regularly have sat for family, friends, and word of mouth recommendations for over a decade. I have cared for pets as small as tree frogs to a home with multiple large pit bull mixes, to a diabetic cat in need of insulin injections twice a day. Whatever type of pet you have I promise to love them as much as I love my own! I am currently at home full time. I regularly take walks to get out of the house and would love to have a companion join me! I love animals and couldn’t imagine spending my day in a better way than with them! I do have my own cat which means for multi day jobs I would occasionally want to visit her (my partner is there to care for her) but I am available to spend majority of the time at a clients home. I have a fenced back yard for your animal to run around in. I would keep your pet in the living room and kitchen are with me while I leave the bedrooms for my cat. I love going on walks so I will be more than happy to take your dogs out with me ( no dog parks or off leash areas).

Martinique was a wonderful dog sitter! She stayed overnight several days with our dog Joy. She kept us updated on how Joy was doing with texts, videos, and pictures. Joy gets nervous when we are not around and Martinique was patient with her. We felt very comfortable having her watch Joy. We will definitely be asking Martinique to watch Joy again!

Yaxsarie has been the best caretaker to our one year old German shepherd. Our dog is adopted and has separation anxiety from previous trauma. We asked Yaxsarie to watch our dog on very short notice and she was immediately responsive and fully available to help, filling in every need we had. Her warm demeanor made my dog feel comfortable immediately and she put our minds at ease. She has watched our dog in our home and is respectful, clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Yaxsarie and am so grateful for her professional care of our dog.

Sandra was absolutely incredible during our recent overnight trip. From the moment we got home, I could tell the boys were beyond happy — relaxed, loved, and completely themselves. And somehow, her sweet pup Koko and my dogs are now officially best friends. She took care of everything so seamlessly it felt like she had always been part of our routine. I came home after a long work trip to a spotless house, clean sheets and towels, and very content pups. I was honestly in heaven. The boys are definitely missing Sandra and Koko today. 💛 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll understand exactly how we feel. She gets off-the-charts stars from me — huge thank you, Sandra! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They are used to taking long walks and Patrick was willing to take them on their favorite hike. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Patrick and look forward to having him back again!

Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.

Brooke did a great job on her first of hopefully many nights with my two babies. She had to administer meds to the older one and he seemed to take it better from her than me. They seemed content in the pics she sent throughout my trip. My home was in great shape when I returned. We are using Brooke again!
