I cannot say enough good things about Lucy! She cared for our dog while we were out of town. He has separation anxiety and dog reactivity and Lucy was amazing with him. I am a vet tech and tend to be picky about who I trust to care for Chunk. We never had to worry about him once while we were gone which was so wonderful. We highly recommend her and will be having her stay with Chunk again in the future!

We love Katie, she’s watched our dogs and cat a few times. She always keeps us in the loop, sends pictures daily, takes the dogs to the park, and leaves a clean house behind. 10/10 would recommend!

This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we were a bit nervous considering it’s 6 barking Schnauzers- but Kamy exceeded our expectations! From the start, she was very presentable and professional, super friendly, and very attentive to all our pups needs. We received regular updates, pictures, and messages- which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to our pups very happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She was very trustworthy, responsive, and caring. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we WILL be using her services again.

Haley was absolutely amazing! She's helped me twice already with my girls. She is so sweet and kind to them, this has been the first time my pup didn't break out in anxiety hives when I've had to leave her. That's how amazing Haley is. She went above and beyond and I felt at ease having her help.

Brooke is amazing! She is so sweet, and took amazing care of our home and our pets. Our dog, Peaches, adores her and it was obvious that she loved Peaches and spent a great deal of time with her while we were gone. She left the house clean and kept us updated throughout our weekend away. We have a trip planned next year, and we've already asked her to see if her schedule is open to sit for us again. If you're looking for someone to trust to stay with your pets while you're away, Brooke is awesome. I'm grateful to have found her.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs and cats for over a decade now, as well as friends’ and families’ throughout the years. I’m very passionate about animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m have a very flexible schedule but tend to prefer mid/late morning — early evening. If you need something outside of these times, I’m willing to work with you to get you the care that you and your pets need! I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or to a nearby dog park if that’s what you prefer! I also love stopping by for play dates or just checking in to care for them, and would love to check in on and play with your cats as well! All animals are good animals <3

About: I have taken care of all types of animals all my life. I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, cows, chickens, hamsters, and fish throughout my life. I love all types of animals, but especially dogs. I completed an animal behavior course that focuses on dogs to better understand and interact with dogs. Also, I have completed training with all of my dogs, but most recently my Portuguese Water Dog. My neighbors and friends rely on me to watch and walk their dogs frequently. I am currently working part time so I am able to look after and walk pups in the evenings and mornings, as well as nights. I am also flexible so just let me know a time and I’ll let you know if I can do the job! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup at home. I can also travel to meet your pup and dog sit at your home. I am comfortable spending the night with your dog if that’s what you want, as well as just dropping in for walks and feedings.

About: I’ve been asked to pet sit for a variety of pets over the years. Anywhere from cats and dogs to bearded dragons and horses! I’m a quick learner and can adapt just as fast to match whatever needs are required. I also own a mixed dog and an orange tabby cat myself. I am a newly wed who recently moved into town and am still getting settled. Until I get connected with my work, I have a TON of free time! I’d love to get to be surrounded by fur babies as much as possible! I love to let the critters set the pace when getting to know me. I believe there needs to be an established bond of trust before anything else. And I LOVE to love on them once they let me! I can never get enough pets and snuggles! I want them to feel as though I’m a friend and family member rather than a stranger. And the same goes for their human parents too! I love to connect with my clientele and keep them updated as much as possible to ensure they feel confident that their babies are taken care of :)

Always grateful when she watches my dogs. She is great at communicating and when I come home I know there aren’t going to be any unexpected surprises. My dogs are always very happy when we have this sitter. Cannot thank her enough.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was around 10 years old. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to feed, play, walk, and love on their furry friends! I am currently working part time while in college for 2 hours (Tuesday and Thursday) so I have plenty of time to be present with you pet and making sure their needs are met! Unfortunately, I am not set up in the right environment to be able to watch your pet in my own home. Maybe in the future! :)

Kamylle was great with our dogs and cat! It was so nice knowing that they were being cared for by someone that obviously puts a lot of thought and attention into the comfort of the animals and concerns of the owner. She was very attentive to the nuances of our animals' behaviors and took great care of our crew, helping them adjust to our being away. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the future!

Autumn is absolutely fantastic! We needed someone to stay at our house for a week with our cat and older dog (almost 14) and Autumn was fast to respond to me. When she visited, her attention went immediately to the pets, which shows me she cares about the animals. The entire time she house and pet sit for us she was responsible and professional. She sent photos to reassure us and checked in with me every day. We have been through a few pet sitters in the past, and none match up to Autumn. Hoping she will be free for all our future travel. You can tell she really loves animals.

Lucy did such an amazing job! She was so attentive to every last detail and didn’t seem to have any trouble with our two big dogs! She really went above and beyond to communicate with me and even was able to stay a few extra hours when we had something unexpected come up. I will for sure be requesting her if we ever need a sitter again!

Ashley spent her days off of work to house and dog sit for us in our home. I received picture updates and she followed my 3 dogs routines to a T. I have never left my dogs home before (in 8 years) but meeting her helped ease my fears. I just knew they would be in good hands with her! While we were away, we got caught in an ice storm and couldn't travel home on-time but she was more than willing to extend the booking. It was all such an easy process and I will definitely be using her again in the future!
