“Eliza did a wonderful job taking care of the house and pets! We are so appreciative of her attention to detail and her kind and patient demeanor towards the animals. We have an elderly dog that needs more care and barks often and our dog warmed up to Eliza right away.”
“Natalie arrived on time each day and had great communication at all times. She was helpful in problem solving and I would recommend her services.”
“Megan is a Rockstar and a Finn (our rescue) whisperer. Megan was so accommodating in coming to visit a few times so that Finn could get to know her. He doesn’t trust easily, mostly fearful, but he took to Megan right away. Megan stayed at our home and stayed in touch with us including pictures and a video. The pics showed that he was very chill. He did not hide away in the bedroom, which is his usual MO. He also did not go on eating strike. He ate his meals. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worries. We are so happy to have found Megan and Finn is definitely requesting her for our next getaway. We highly recommend Megan for all your pet sitting needs. Evelyn, Tim and Finn Orr”
“Kim did an outstanding job pet and housesitting for us this last week. We came home to a house that was just as we left it and a calm, happy dog. It was clear that our Stella was well cared for and that she was kept on her daily routine. We will definitely rebook with Kim.”
“Dayton is amazing! He watched my dog in my home and was wonderful. He followed all my instructions and took awesome care of him. He gave me updates and responded quickly to all messages. You will not regret having Dayton watch your pet!”
“Laura came to meet my two dogs prior to taking care of them. She was responsive to communications from me. She provided pictures and let me know how my dogs were doing during her visit. My dogs seemed to really like her and she took wonderful care of them. She left my house in wonderful condition when she was done, changing the sheets on the bed and vacuuming before she left. We will definitely be using Laura again in the future.”
“Anna did such a great job watching our cats! Our boy cat, Jefferson 🐈⬛ has asthma. Anna really helped us feel ok to go out of town as she gave him his medicine every day while we were gone! We love our cats so much — being able to know they are safe and happy while we are gone means so much! Anna is great!”
“Pamela went above and beyond to take great care of my dog and make me feel relaxed during my time away. Her photo updates were a great touch for me to know all was well at home. Thank you!”
“Hannah is amazing! She put my mind at ease by sending me regular updates and pictures of my little guy. My cat is a bit of a nervous little fuzz with new people but she got him to open up and even cuddle with her! I would absolutely hire her again and I recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Heather was punctual and communicative throughout the stay. One of my dogs can be a handful and I didn’t get any reports of issues or anything. When I got home my house was clean and my dogs were happy! I would love to use Heather again to house sit with my boys.”
About: At the age of 16 years old I started working at a veterinarian clinic making appointments, cleaning, walking, playing, and setting up for surgeries for spay/neuter I am currently working part-time doordashing so I can make my own hours so I have a very flexible schedule to play with your pups I have a fully fenced yard with a doggie door and a dumb outside to keep your pups dry. I also have a very friendly 10-year-old Labrador mix! There is a dog friendly park behind my house!
“Cady was amazing!! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos. She has a background in the vet industry which makes her even more trusting with your fur baby. Would highly recommend her and hope to have her again next time!”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with our 2 pups for a whole month while we were out of the country. Our minds were at ease knowing that she was there to care for our dogs. Our babies absolutely loved having her around and we would 100% seek her services again in the future! She was very communicative and sent us constant updates on how they were doing. Thank you, Britt!”
“Colleen did wonderful with my pup Bogey! She was always near her phone for any quick communication. I highly recommend her for house sitting!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and have experience in a wide array of breeds including high maintenance breeds. I have house broken, leash trained, and trained basic commands in puppies. I love animals and will happily become your dog's new best friend. I am currently a college student and I have classes for about 12 hours a week. I am also working part time about 20 hours a week. The rest of the time I'm pretty free so I'm looking for some fluffy friends to fill the time. I care deeply about animals and will go above and beyond to make any pet happy. Right now I live in a dorm so I only have some fish, but I grew up on a farm and have experience with all kinds of critters.
“Our 2 dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of. The house was exactly as we left it. Great communication before, during, and after the 3 night stay. We will definitely be using Remus again.”
“Angela was amazing and cared for our dogs greatly. She was always in communication with us, asked many questions about their habits/preferences/routine to understand how to best care for them, sent constant photos—we could tell they were well cared for :)”
“So thankful for Nicole’s great care for our house and cats while we were away. She sent a daily picture and updates, and by the end of her stay, both of our cats felt comfortable enough to snuggle with her during the overnights. Great peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved while we were away!”
About: Have raised up our family dog for 8 years since his puppy. Can handle bigger dogs (german shepard, huskys). Have delt with hyperactive/ seperation anxiety dogs that require more attention and specific care, feeding. I am currently doing studies on the side. I have full time availability. Willing to be at your home/with your pet as earlt as 6am, and stay as late needed. Giving my dog attention whether its on a walk or playing tug of war it is always important to be around him when possible. He has a feeding schedual he is accustomed to so I know that punctuality is a key factor in a pets schedual.
“Maria is my hero. She really saved the day for me. She took excellent care of George and kept him safe while I was at work. She is professional and put me at ease the minute she walked in the door. I felt I could trust her with my baby almost immediately. She definitely has George’s stamp approval too! He looked happy and cozy when I arrived home. Thank you Maria ! Our pets are like kids and it feels good having someone I can trust to take care of him.”
