Taylor made our cats very happy and gave them lots of playtime. She even made an effort to make friends with our other very shy cat. Even took the trash out for us. Would definitely hire her again.

I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!

Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!

I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

About: I grew up in a home full of animals and have been caring for pets my whole life. My family always had dogs—everything from a Yorkie and Dalmatian to two Beagles and a sweet white Boxer who was deaf—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also cared for rabbits, chickens, and several guinea pigs, giving me experience with different types of pets and their unique needs. Whether it’s dogs or other small animals, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. My schedule is best suited for weekend sitting, as I work full-time as a second grade teacher and usually have evening yoga classes or seasonal volleyball matches during the week. However, I can be flexible depending on the week—just let me know in advance and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I take pet safety and comfort seriously, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet will get plenty of snuggles, attention, and a calm, caring environment while they’re with me. I’m happy to do walks as needed, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel secure and loved the entire time. My goal is for you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Grace was so great with all my animals, she says she's not much of a cat person, but my cat took to her almost immediately. My chickens loved the attention and all the treats. My fish were very happy for the food and my 2 dogs were so excited to see her when she showed up, they would greet her at the door and want all the attention! She was a great communicator to me, sending me tons of pics and videos of all my happy animals, she really relieved a lot of stress I had, since this was the first time leaving all of them to someone else. I totally recommend her and I will definitely use her again, she is the best!

About: I do not have any experience, but what sets me apart from other caretakers is me taking care of your pet is more beneficial to me than you. Being a college student is extremely stressful, and pets have been proven to relieve stress. I work full-time; however, I am looking for pet care before and after work. I also just love walking and do so almost every day after work. I would prefer a client's home. However, I do have a Rottweiler in my home, so I know exactly how playful and messy dogs can be.

Megan watched my two rambunctious Siamese Tabbies while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job caring for them! I received pictures everyday and updates on how they were doing. Megan was so conscientious about taking care of both the cats and my home. I would have her come back in a heartbeat!

Angel is the best and will always be our go-to for all of our kitties!! We have 6 cats, some with bigger personalities, and she does so good taking care of them all and making sure each of them get attention. Angel took care of our kitties for 2 full weeks this time and did an amazing job, was communicative, and we came back to happy kitties and a clean house just the way we left it! Thanks, Angel!!
