“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”


“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”


“We are delighted to have Kim stay in our home and care for our Stella. Stella was her usual self, happy to see us and with no changes in her behavior. The house was spotless after Kim’s 9 day stay. We look forward to rebooking Kim in the future.”


“Regan was awesome! She sent updates about our dog throughout our trip, was thorough and double checked with us about details regarding our departure and return, and left our house cleaner than we left it. Would definitely use her as a house / pet sitter again and our doggo agrees! 😊”


“We really appreciated how attentive Katie was with our cats, they’re very spoiled, and she handled them perfectly! She was also super punctual. The love and care she gave our cats truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her, and we already have another booking with her for next month!”


“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two large dogs and left the house in incredible shape and we came home to two very happy pups! One of our dogs has a number of medical needs (three legs, epilepsy, IBS) and she took incredibly good care of him. Would highly recommend and will reach out to book !”


“Cherith is great! Good communication while we were away. Franco & Chowder were both happy and healthy on our return. We are very pleased to have found Cherith and look forward to working with her again.”

“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Maddie. She was loving and attentive to Maddie's needs. She sent me many updates and photos during the day . I highly recommend her.”


“Michelle provided daily updates and pictures of our dogs and kitties. We felt confident that Michelle was taking good care of our animals. The house was also exactly how we left it!”


“Chloe has been watching our golden retriever for over a year now and is the BEST sitter we've ever had! She is so clean and tidy and takes him for so many walks! We know when we leave he'll be taken care of properly and we'll get home to a clean and tidy home as well. Couldn't recommend her more!”


“Olivia was wonderful! I felt entirely confident that our dogs and our house were in good hands. Communication was great. Our spoiled pups were very happy when we got home.”


“It’s always difficult to enjoy a vacation when my dog has to stay behind. I don’t know whose separation anxiety is worse, the dogs or mine. It’s also stressful to have someone stay in your home that you don’t know. Emma is an excellent communicator, respectful with regards to our home and pets were well cared for. She would send me a picture and update daily on how my dog was doing which definitely put me at ease and I could actually enjoy my time away. I would highly recommend Emma. I plan to reach out to her again the next time we are away. Thank you Emma!”


“Carrie was wonderful with our two dogs! I loved receiving all the pictures of them, it definitely made me more comfortable knowing they were happy and relaxed. She left my house cleaner than how I left it; I was incredibly appreciative to come home to clean house!”


About: Your pet will be loved on like one of our own! My family has many critter members including a Pitbull, Hedgehog, Frog and Bearded Dragon My routine allows for early mornings, late afternoon and evenings along with weekend care so I can support your pet with exercise, food, play, attention and cleanups As a pet owner myself, I know the difference between an ok sitter and a great one! A great sitter truly loves animals, takes detailed notes on each particular pets needs and wants and communicates well with owners with regular pictures and updates!

About: With a lifetime of personal experience and close to 14 years of watching friends, family, and neighbors' pets, this care comes easily to me. Most recently, my care has been for cats and dogs, which only feels natural as I have always had both around while growing up. However, I’m open to caring for animals of all sizes! I offer the patience, experience, and professionalism to ensure a safe and stress-free experience, both for yourself and your pets. Please reach out with any questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to schedule care for your pet/animal(s). I'm currently working and taking classes, so I am looking for a little flexibility. But any that I have, I would love to work around to ensure your pet has care. Let's connect to see what needs you have! Having a safe and stress-free experience for both the animal and owner is my top priority. Having my own experience with leaving my cats with others, I am often assured by quick daily check-ins with photos and love offering that to clients as well. I understand that I am a stranger in their space, so any other ways to help make it an easy transition are considered.

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and I know how to care for them well and know a lot about good nutrition, how to exercise them well, and the proper way to clean up after them. I will most certainly treat your pets as if they are my own and will give them the care that they deserve. I will follow your directions exactly and will inform you immediately if any thing goes wrong or if I have any concerns about your pets. My goal is for you to feel comfortable with me taking care of your pets and to not have nay worries while you are away. Caring for pets have been a big part of my life and I would love to care for yours as well.

“Sierra made me feel so much better about leaving my dog! She provided him with the attention he needs and provided him ample play time. When I returned he was happy and had eaten his food, which is sometimes an issue when he is left with a sitter. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a caring, friendly, dog sitter!”
