1. Colleen O.

“Colleen did an amazing job with my whole crew of pets. I had to book last minute as my dog sitter quit mid job and wasn't taking care of them properly. She was attentive to detail, played with them, and was very respectful and pleasant to communicate. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future!”


2. julie w.

“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”


3. Niveda S.

“Niveda did a great job house sitting and caring for my dog and cat! I came back from a weekend away to happy, well- exercised pets and a clean house. She also sent regular updates so I didn't worry about my pets while I was away.”


4. Arianna G.


“Arianna was a great house/dog/cat sitter for us! She sent lots of pictures of our pets and it was reassuring to know that things were going well while we were gone. I definitely recommend her!”


5. Colleen W.
“Colleen has a passion for loving animals. She is attentive to their needs. She is responsible and will be a great person to love on your fur baby. Check her out!”


6. Scotti H.

“Scotti was incredible with our dogs. We booked her for a overnight stay and she kept our two big dogs calm and happy, we came home and they were so well behaved and happy. We will be booking with Scotti any chance I can!”


7. Olivia C.

“Olivia was prompt, immediately bonded with my pups (2 5 month old English bulldogs) and took exceptional care of them. She sent some pictures of them and i could see how much they enjoyed being with her. I very strongly recommend Olivia’s services!”


8. Tillisa C.

“Tillisa is just wonderful. The way she cares about every detail shows dedication, love and respect to her job. I believe for her is more than a job and I shows. Lana my cat loves her and this means the world to me. Thank you!!!”


9. Megan P.

“She was wonderful. She showed up multiple times a day to play, feed, and let my animals out to potty. She called when there were concerns about my girl getting into medication she shouldn't have and sent pictures to help ease my mind from missing my animals. This was the longest I've been away from my animals in years and she did great with them, even when my girl got destructive from separation anxiety. We will definitely be using her again.”


10. Alexis W.

“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”


11. Andrew R.
“Andrew was so helpful when he watched my dog! Addy absolutely loved him! He played with her and was really attentive to her while he was there! He was such a huge help!”


12. Jeremy W.

“Jeremy did a great job. We had some communication issues at first but we got those worked out. He even watered my plants for me and made sure the outside chickens and geese had water while we were gone. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. <3”


13. Grace H.

“Grace was prompt, kind and trustworthy. My fur baby Rita & I are grateful for her service. We will definitely use her next time we’re in Charleston, WV!”


14. Skye K.


“Skye was referred by a friend whom I put great faith in as a pet owner. I could not have been more pleased with the service she provided and the cleanliness in which my home was left when she finished. She stayed in touch and sent pictures that were very much appreciated. Hope to see her again soon!”


15. Matthew T.
“In everything Matthew does, he loves with his whole heart. This is no different with the way he loves animals. He has been around animals his whole life and he made it a personal goal to adopt when he knew he was ready to become a pet 'parent'. His love and energy for his cat Winnie and his dog Max is contagious and so sweet. Anyone in the room with Matthew and his animals can tell his love and can't help but have a smile on their face watching their interactions.”


16. Alexia J.
“Alexia is the dog whisperer! She can train and control any dog that crosses her path. Her own Husky knows more commands than I can even remember and is 100% under her control at all times. She is very loving of all animals and often pet-sits for multiple friends and family. 100% trustworthy and reliable.”


17. Emma M.

“Emma was responsible, dependable, and very kind! We held a meet and greet prior so we could make sure she was a good fit. She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. I will be in contact with her in the future and would recommend her!”


18. Abreana N.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I am experienced in making a range of animals feel comfortable and loved. From eating, to playing, to cuddles, I’ve got it! I am a current college student with a part time job. While it may sound busy, my schedule is lenient and I can be available if notified a week in advance! I am willing to clean up after animals. I will do the necessary chores regarding them. Any special requests concerning the pets will be prioritized.


19. Preston S.
“Preston would not only love, care, and protect your pet but would make sure your dog gets what it needs in fitness nutrition and help you train your pet to be more well mannered in public and with other dogs!”
