Bridget did such a great job with our girls! One of our kitties is shy and skittish around anyone new, but she had a great way of helping her feel safe and comfortable! Bridget was very responsive and sent us pictures and videos while we were away making us feel comfortable that they were in good hands. We were so lucky to have found her - especially on such short notice. She responded right away to our need for a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more happy with her!

Raina was a great sitter for my two fur babies! This was the second time I booked her services, and I felt comfortable going on my trip knowing that she was taking care of my cats. The visit notes and pictures she took were fabulous!

About: I am a trained dog groomer willing to work with any animal no matter size or condition. If they need bathes or nails trimmed or even a hair cut I can do it. I am currently working part-time at my dog boarding job so my availability is mornings mid day or afternoon just depending on the day Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are the best days for me. I currently live in an apartment so we would have lots of walks and your furry friend would be taken to dog Parks to get some solicitation

About: I have three dogs that I've raised on my own since puppies. An Australian Shepherd (9), an American Bulldog Boxer (8) & a Shihpoo (2). I also have 1.5yr old and 4m old girls. I work from home so adding a few pups into the mix is no hassle at all! I do not walk the dogs they run around the yard and entertain each other. I have a fenced yard! Small but cozy home. Dogs love staying here because it truly feels like a home away from home. 😋 I love sending updates and photos!

We found out last weekend that I would be having a c section this past Monday. Right away I messaged Alyssa to see if she would be available to do some drop ins on our two dogs and luckily she was! Alyssa is always so communicative, shares lots of pics, and shows our pups so much love. We will continue to have her watch our fur babes in the future for sure!

Alex was such a blessing to have as our check in sitter for our fur family members ! This was my first time taking an extended weekend trip out of state and not bringing Sammy with us . Alex did an amazing job of communicating and keeping me updated on each drop in so I was able to feel worry free knowing Sammy and Fergus where in good hands !

About: I spent my entire life around animals of my own including dogs, cats, chickens and just recently ducks, as well as spending much of my child and adult life pet sitting for others, it brings me joy to ensure that all animals are well taken care of and feel more than enough love! I love all animals but dogs are definitely my favorite, I can not walk by a dog on the street without at least greeting them, but usually that turns into a few minutes of pets and belly rubs. Whatever level of care that you desire or believe is necessary I can definitely provide it for you and your furry friend so that they feel safe and loved even when their human is gone!

About: On my 13th birthday I got a puppy and I have been an avid dog lover since. I house-trained him, stayed up with him when he was crying, and taught him lots of tricks! Since then, I have always had some sort of animal in my house, whether it be a dog, cat, or hedgehog! Due to my known love for ALL critters, I have been a dependable pet sitter for many folks throughout the years. Whether it be friends, extended family, or even friends of a friend - I have been trusted to love and care for many animals. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Right now I am only booking house-sitting gigs where I can bring my senior chihuahua with me. When you send me a message, let me know what works for you so that we may set up a meet & greet! I primarily dogsit and have a supplemental part-time job. This flexibility allows me to work with you and your pet to make sure they are getting the maximum amount of attention and love. I will love your pet like my own. I like to send daily updates with photos to not only quell your worries, but so that you can see your creature is doing well. I WILL be prioritizing jobs where I can bring my dog with me. I understand in some circumstances, it will not be a good fit for her to come with me, which is understandable.

We love Taylor! She was so easy to coordinate with and extremely reliable. She came for her drop-in visits every day during the time range we had agreed on, and sent thorough updates with cute photos. Gustav is often shy or hesitant around new people, but was immediately comfortable with her and gave lots of kisses. We're so happy to have found Taylor!

Ellen went above and beyond caring for my kitty. I think he was sad not to see her walk through the door once we came home! She is kind, very caring, and respectful of care instructions and preferences. She will always be my first choice! She has extensive knowledge of all animals and always puts her clients first.

About: I truly love building trust with pets and owners. Your dog gets patience, affection, and a calm, safe environment you can feel good about. You’ll also get updates,photos, videos and complete peace of mind knowing your dog is cared for exactly the way you want. I’m currently a stay at home pet mom of 2 Berne doodles, so I have plenty of time and space to watch, play and care for your pups. Whether your pet is with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I follow their familiar routines, offer plenty of comfort and attention, and keep you updated so you always feel connected. I also have a fully fenced yard in a safe area and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and happy—and for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.”

Carrie did a wonderful job with her visits throughout the holiday weekend. She gave my needy Julius plenty of attention and managed to make somewhat friends with my very aloof Olive. Of course she was feeding her - ha ha. I would recommend Carrie and would book again!

Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.
