“Betty was wonderful! Bo enjoyed taking long walks with her, we got updates and pictures each day and our pets were happy when we returned. Our house was clean and well cared for, and she even washed our sheets and towels. Betty handled everything we asked of her without complaint. We will use her again! Highly recommend.”
“Savannah took great care of my dogs for the week, and responded very quickly any time I reached out. She sent updates daily and my dogs loved spending the week with her!”
“Dinira was excellent with our animals very attentive and they were very healthy and happy when we came home. If she’s available, we’ll book her every time we go out of town. Even our shy kitty came out to see her and she did fabulous with our diabetic cat with her insulin shots.”
“Georgia was amazing! She took care of our dog for over a week and provided loving care. We enjoyed the daily updates and pictures which helped us feel at ease. Even our neighbors commented on how nice Georgia was to chat with, and how she took such good care of our Cooper. Georgia went above and beyond and cared for our plants as well. We highly recommend Georgia.”
“This is our second time having Adoni sit with our dog and cat. She is a natural with pets. Our dog took to her right away. Our very reticent cat even made an appearance. Adoni is very responsive and meticulous with scheduling. Communication is within minutes and she sends texts to let us know when she will arrive. We leave pages of directions for our finicky four footers and she willingly follows their quirks and schedules. Plus, she is just a delightful person!”
“I hesitate to write this review because we'd love to just keep Vanessa all to ourselves! ❤️ 😂 I won't though because there are dogs, cats and owners that need to experience the kind of care that Vanessa gives. WOW, talk about a great find! From the meet and greet to the 3 night 4 day stay with Ace & Marigold (our 2 Great Danes) my mind was at ease knowing they were in her care. She was great at sending lots of pics of them doing their fave things and her reports on Ace & Marigold read like a pet story that we looked forward to that made us laugh and look forward to the next one! 🥰 😂 Everything went great and we have already booked with her to come sit with Ace & Marigold again. It is a blessing when you find someone you trust to watch your furry Best Friends! 🐾 ❤️ If you find it difficult to take those trips when your Best Friends aren't able to come with you, we highly recommend Vanessa because they will be in great hands! 🥰”
“Michelle was everything we needed while leaving our girl for a week! She stayed with her most of everyday and spent the night. She worked with our picky eater and made sure she ate something everyday. She even hand fed her on the last couple days when she really wouldn't eat! She spoke with me daily through texts and upfated me with pictures. It was what I needed to feel ok about not being there myself. She left our house clean with no dishes, trash taken out (and took it up on trash day), and washed the bed she stayed in so my sheets would be clean when I came home late. I would reccomend to anyone who needs a pet/house sitter!!”
“I have three wonderful rescue dogs one is just a little higher maintenance. He’s the pit mix and Marci was “ the pit whisperer”. She was so good with Riggs that he wanted to follow her home. I had no worries I knew that everything was well taken care of it was clean when I came home Just as I left it. She’s good with my dogs, allowing them to warm up naturally. I would give her 10 stars. If five was limit she was above and beyond and just wonderful. Marci provided excellent care for my pups which gave me true peace of mind, knowing your babies are well cared for allowed me the pleasure of truly relaxing on Vitamin Sea😎‼️”
About: I’ve worked at a vet clinic for three years. I took care of dogs, cats, pigs, and more! My job included walking them, feeding them, cleaning up after them, etc. Your cue baby will be in good hands I am a college student with openings throughout my day that will allow me to easily come and go to your homes and spend some time with your babies. I have a fenced in yard so I will let my own dogs out; However I go outside with them despite any weather because I don’t want them to get into a fight, fall in the pool, or any other events that could cause harm.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Mitchie to take care of my furry family while I was out of town, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the level of attention and care that she provided. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. She was friendly and warm towards my pets, and took the time to get to know each of their individual personalities and needs. She was also very thorough in asking me about any special instructions or preferences that I had for their care, which put me at ease knowing that they were in good hands. Overall, I would highly recommend Mitchie to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends. She was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about the well-being of my animals. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“Debi did a great job caring for my 2 dogs, cat, and my daughter's fish. She sent regular updates and notified me when she noticed my 16.5 yo dog was having difficulty bending over to eat. She brought in a larger box to put her bowl on to help during meal times. Debi also took the extra step of grabbing our mail and signing for packages. The house looked great when we returned. I highly recommend Debi.”
“Peytyn took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She communicated extremely well (and sent pictures) our entire vacation. She quickly learned everything we told her about all of them. We did not have to stress any on whether they were properly being cared for. For several days, her fiancé helped care for them and he was just as amazing. So thankful for them both, but Peytyn is simply the best!”
“Raina is an absolute Godsend! We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, with one dog being older and the other a 1 year old puppy - and we had pretty much resigned ourselves to never going on vacation again. Raina stayed at our house for the entire week, and our animals adored her. Even our shy skittish ghost of a cat Stella came right out and loved her. She played ball with the babydog, she snuggled the old dog, she loved on the cats. She sent us adorable pictures. She was incredible! Our animals have never been without us that long, so I expected them to be anxious and out of sorts when we got home - it was like we were never gone. She kept them so calm and comfortable that they were just happy to see me, and went right back to normal. The house was even better than we left it. Raina had everything in perfect order, everything was clean, it honestly looked better than we left it! Raina is a blessing, and I’m so glad Rover brought her into our lives!”
“Zora has been a Walker and house sitter for us! I don’t wanna say too much because i don’t want y’all filling up her schedule! Great experience, such a joy and my dogs love her!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She took care of all four of my babies like they were her own. She kept me updated on everything, sent pictures, and replied back instantly! She kept the house immaculate and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Morgan always does such a wonderful job with my two dogs and ferret. She sends so many cute pictures and they love spending time with her. Would definitely recommend!”

Mackayla was responsive and great with our dog and cat during our vacation. She left the house tidy and was respectful. The negative was the time she spent away from the house, which was a total of 10 to 11 hours each day, broken up to let our pup out to pee. She was up front about a part time job but said her shifts were about 5 hours. I did not specifically ask if she would be around the rest of the time, so that is on me, but I didn't expect her to be gone for double that time consistently each day. If you don't need someone with your pets much during the day but can be there overnight, Mackay is dependable.
Emmy stayed with our two pugs for a week while we were traveling and we knew they were in good hands the whole time!! She made special accommodations to be available for mid-day bathroom breaks and was extra attentive to our older and more anxious pup. Prior to her stay, when Emmy came to meet with us for the first time, we learned that she also babysits and she sat for our kids a few times before our trip and they LOVE her. We're so glad that we have Emmy in our lives!!
Emily took good care of our 2 pups!! 🐶🐶 She stayed at our house to help us keep our dog’s routine as normal as possible and I can tell they both appreciated that, as it was one less thing they had to endure while we were away. She helped us continue our dog’s meds and supplements too. Emily cleaned up after herself which we appreciated after coming back from a long trip! Thanks Emily!!!
