“Erin has pet-sat for our kitties several times. She is an animal lover and loves on my kitties and I don't worry about them at all when I'm gone. She is very mindful of which ones go in and out, and which ones stay in the house. She's an excellent pet-sitter!”

8. Michael G.
“We’ve relied on Michael to look after our chihuahua, Thor, several times for short weekend trips and week-long vacations. Thor is a somewhat grumpy and particular dog, so finding someone he’s comfortable with is not easy. He always seems genuinely at ease around Michael, which we’ve come to appreciate. Michael is dependable, communicative, and experienced with dogs. He provides regular updates, which are helpful, and we always return to find Thor well cared for. It's reassuring to have someone we trust to look after him while we're away.”

“I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without Cierra helping with my dog. She’s been amazing — super reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely loves her. You can tell she really cares and loves what she does. It was such a relief knowing my pup was getting good walks and attention while I was busy. She always gave me little updates which I appreciated so much. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but with her, it was never a worry. Her help made my life so much easier, and I’m so grateful. If you’re thinking about hiring her — do it. She’s the real deal!”
