Jarrod did an excellent job house/pet sitting for us. Our trip was only possible because of us feeling comfortable after meeting Jarrod. We appreciated that he sent pictures and didn’t hesitate asking questions when needed. We definitely would use Jarrod’s services again.

What can you say about Vanessa besides the fact that she is amazing. On less than a day’s notice, she was kind enough to do a meet and greet and then house sit my pup for the week. Vanessa is extremely communicative and helpful. You’ll never have to guess about the status of your pup or home when she’s around. I felt extremely comfortable with her in my home and she even left it cleaner than she found it. I would recommend Vanessa to all of my friends and book her services again any time.

My old dog Frank enjoyed having Vanessa/Arlett stay with him. She was so nice and responsible, and sent multiple pictures each day and let me know how he was doing. She followed my instructions, and asked how to modify things when needed. I know Frank would be happy to see her again!

Crystal stayed with my pups Bean & Benji for about a week. She was super communicative from the start and regularly sent updates/pics of my babies. Upon my return, the dogs were happy and healthy and my place was undisturbed. I’m SO grateful everything went smoothly and I was able to be in the moment at my sister’s wedding knowing my babies were in good hands. Will definitely keep Crystal at the forefront of my mind for the future. THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!!

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs. Growing up we had several black labs, and a golden retriever. I love animals and I have lots of experience with puppies. I’m an active person so taking your dog on a long walk is no problem for me! I’ve dog sat all kinds of dogs including a senior German shepherd for the last 8 years. I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week. This means that when I’m watching your pet or walking your dog, my attention is able to be fully on them and I have availability throughout the week. I am very respectful of your space and treat it like it’s my own and try to leave it better than when I found it. That goes for your fur baby too!

About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!

So happy we found Kaitie! She completely exceeded our expectations. She sent the most amazing photos throughout the stay and kept communication open the whole time — it made being away so much easier knowing my guy was in good hands. When I came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the time of his life. The house was clean and tidy. We'll absolutely be booking her again!

Ivana was AMAZING!!! the sweetest soul and so willing to help us out us out in a last minute minute ! My sweet girl had a lot of fun with her and was so excited to meet her from the get go. Guava had been feeing sick for a couple of days and seemed like her normal self once Ivana came around, I think she was the little boost of she needed to get better. But felt so relaxed and comforted leaving her in her hands while she wasn’t feeling the best. 10/10 recommend 💕🙈
