Potter (schnoodle) and Henry (doodle) really enjoyed seeing Jessica during the day when my wife and I were both working and I was out of town. We felt very comfortable they were in Jessica's care and we would certainly use Jessica again in the future!

Lauryn was awesome! I think my dog has a new best friend. She came before we booked her to meet Ginger and she took the time to listen to my dog's needs (she was diagnosed with MUE) and go around my house. We used her services twice the same day. She sent me photos, followed all my instructions, and kept me posted. She did a fantastic job. I will definitely book her again.

Emma has watched my Phoebe multiple times since I got her. Emma is very experienced with all kinds of animals including reptiles, rodents, dogs, and cats. I trust her to do exactly as I ask and make sure that not only are my cat's basic needs met, but her loneliness and stress is reduced by her presence. I highly recommend using Emma for your pet care needs!

This was Namira's second time watching my elderly dog, who added two pills since our last visit, and has been starting to struggle with joints. She was engaged and made sure to check in with me when he was potentially having a bad day so I could evaluate and I could feel confident he was in good hands once again.

Kellie handled our four senior kitties with ease. Came home to everything in its place and clean. She even got our kitty Koona to finish her meals (she had been not eating for a day before we left). I could tell by the pics the kitties were happy. Thank you Kellie!

Karli is AMAZING with pet care and I would put my total trust in my cat's safety with her. It's funny - I think sometimes my cat likes her more than me...she's always so happy when Karli hangs out with her. She's a lover of all animals, and has experience with cats and dogs, but also farm animals (goats, horses, peacocks, llamas, chickens) due to her previous work experience working at a children's petting farm. That girl would put herself through anything to care for the animals around here. You're doing yourself a favor booking with her.

About: I have been petting sitting ever since high school. I’ve cared for dogs (all sizes), many many cats (I grew up with 3 cats), rats, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, basically anything you could keep as a pet haha. I’m a quick learner and very flexible. Anything you need, I can do :) I am currently pursing my college degree in Art Education and during the breaks I have lots of downtime. Even during the school year I have light days that could be used to care for pets! I have done plenty of house sitting before in the past. I always keep respectful boundaries while being in and around your home and personal belongings.

Jade has cared for my dog on several occasions. I primarily need assistance when traveling for work and vacations. She always makes sure that my dog gets some exercise, has time to get his business done outside, and has food and water. She is respectful with my home and is very friendly with my dog.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover. I had a lot of animals growing up and still do! I previously worked as a horse trainer and recently got certified as a dog trainer too. I also have experience with other animals, such as reptiles, cats, and some small animals. I'm going to school for zoology so animal behavior is my forte! I also have two dogs that live my family, a beagle mix named Charlie and a shit zu names Wicket, but I have experience with a lot of different breeds and energy levels. I also work part time as a dog trainer and manager at a pet supplies store where I advice pet parents daily on nutrition and the power of possitive dog training. Yes

Jesse watched our shih tzu, Bruno, for us while we were on vacation several times. Jesse took amazing care of our pup along with our house. He updated us every day and night to let us know when Bruno was fed and when he took his medication. Bruno loved getting to spend time with Jesse whenever we were gone and always looked forward to seeing him again!
