1. Kristine R.

“Kristine watched our pups in our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving our dogs alone with someone so I was a little nervous. Kristine came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs took to her right of way and I felt all my worries fade away. She is genuine, compassionate, competent and attentive. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of my pups and I was able to enjoy our little getaway! I feel confident now to book longer trips that are farther away with my home and pups in Kristine’s care!”

6. Caitlynn L.

“Caitlynn has become our trusted house and dog sitter. It’s really nice to have someone we’re comfortable with, and the dogs love her too.

10. Melanie T.

She took great care of our fur babies and sent us updates. And she left our house clean and tidy. No complaints!”

I would definitely recommend Eva and use her again.”

16. Lova A.

About: I enjoy being with dogs very much, I have dog's company since I was kid. I learn to be friends with them, train them, gloom them. I have the air of animal lover. Most dogs can sense that at first meeting with me. They feel calm and safe with me. Therefore I often volunteer to take care of pets for friends in need. One friend said " you did such a good job , I really think that you should do this as your business" . I do like this idea: making money while having fun with these wonderful animals. Here i am ! Please let me take care of your dogs ! You will have peace of mind when you are in vacation or visiting your family. I stay at home full time. And take care of farm animals. I will be able to keep an eye on your babies, and play with them ! I have very big fenced yard, and also owns two dogs to keep your furry babies companies. I love to play with them outdoor, even introduce them to farm animals sometimes!


17. Lauren B.
“Lauren is an amazing petsitter! She has been caring for my pets for over 20 years, and there is no one that I would trust more than her when it comes to the well-being of my furbabies! She is dependable, trustworthy, understanding, and she truly has a heart for animals. She always takes extra special care of pets who have specific and detailed health requirements and dietary needs, treating each one with love and consideration. I highly recommend Lauren to care for your furbabies! She will love them like her own!”


18. Sara W.
“Sara is a wonderful pet sitter who takes the best care of our dogs! She is prompt, courteous and very knowledgeable. Our dogs love the fenced in back yard!”


19. Emma A.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — they’ve always been a big part of my heart and home. From growing up with family dogs to now caring for my own pup, Finn, I truly understand how much our pets mean to us. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own — as if they were part of my family. As for Finn, he’s happy to stay home with my family while I care for your pet, unless you’d like him to join us and think it would be a good match. I always prioritize what’s best for your dog and will follow your preferences to make sure everyone’s comfortable. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible! I’m available everyday during the week and weekends for pet sitting! So I will be there as much as possible for your pets! When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to maintain their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I follow any feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication instructions you provide. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.


20. Kaylee A.

“Kaylee watched our dog and cat during an extended stay. We felt very comfortable as she kept us updated often with lots of pictures. She is very personable and professional. She took great care of our pets, did all we asked and kept the house clean. I will definitely be calling her again. Highly recommend.”
