“Extremely professional and caring.”
8. Stacy R.
“Stacy, is an incredible person. She went above and beyond all expectations. Unfortunately Sylvester became critically I'll while we were traveling and Stacy was put in an impossible situation. We had to ask her to take Syl to the vet and ultimately be with him as he passed on. She was amazing. She never stopped communicating with us, linked us with the vet, and allowed us to give Syl a final voice message. We will never be able to thank her for what she did for us. Stacy is one of the best people we have ever worked with and we will forever be in her debt.”
9. Melissa S.
“Melissa is the ideal pet sitter, hands-down. She took care of my two cats for a full week, and kept me updated with multiple pictures and lots of details every day. When my guilt over being away so long got the better of me, she agreed to give them extra love and attention which made us all happy! Melissa also managed their care through multiple days of a boil-water emergency, made sure the litter box stayed clean, checked the apartment for little surprises, and took out all the trash. Much of this wasn’t even specified, Melissa just took the initiative, which says so much about the care she provides. Five stars +!”
10. Payton S.
“Payton really helped us out very last minute with our girls. Maisie was just spayed and had some complications so has been on strict no movement. Payton was so sweet with them and was really attentive to everything they needed. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have taken care of my dog for many years, about 12 years. I also do have experience take care of cats for 2 months. I’m currently working part time and doing school from home for most of the day so I can take care of pet through the day I do have a access to grass and will be able to walk around. There is also a park not to fare from where I am.
