Barb is awesome. She took great care of our cat, Frankie. It is such a good feeling to be able to relax and enjoy your time away while someone is caring for your fur baby just like you would. I will definitely have Barb again for our next time away.

Jenny did such an amazing job caring for our dog while we were away. She did extra little things that she didn’t have to do, as taking her for short walks and stayed extra time with her when she was feeling anxious, as our dog has high anxiety and Jenny made sure to keep her comfortable. I was very nervous about leaving my dog knowing her anxiety levels, but Jenny made it so smooth going and made me feel much better about it all! Great communication with me each time she came in my home to care for her too! I will definitely recommend Jenny to anyone that is looking for care for their pet while being away!

Olivia was a lifesaver! We made last minute out of town plans and Olivia jumped right in. The dogs loved having her there. I could tell by the daily photos. I swear they were all smiling. I would definitely ask Olivia again.

Elisabeth was excellent with our senior pup Simba! He took a liking to her right away and she was able to maneuver him into his harness and take him up and down the porch steps easily. Quick, communication, reliable, and kind. Will definitely call on Elisabeth in the future!

Tara's become our go-to over the last year and a half for taking care of our two cats, Ichigo and Freya. She's been amazing accommodating our super shy cat and keeps our bird feeders full and plants watered too. We have every intention of keeping Tara as our sitter for as long as she continues to do pet sitting.10/10

About: I grew up always having a pet to call my own. I have recently adopted a 2 year old pitbull name Gizmo! We are always out for a nice stroll on the beach, sitting on a restaurant patio or cuddling on the couch watching a scary movie. My love for animals started at a young age. I grew up with all different kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits and even a hedgehog. I am able to easily adapt to all types of dogs and routines. I am a responsible and dependable caretaker with always room in my heart for another animal! I am available after 3:00pm everyday of the week except for Mondays! I have a full time job during the week but will always make time to care for your pet in the evenings. I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life so I am open to all breeds and personalities! I will adjust my energy and personality based on your pet's needs.

About: Hi my name is Amanda. I was fortunate to grow up with a dog and two cats. I also cared for and played with my family and friends' pets. To me, pets make a house a home! Animals are hard not to love, so it makes them easy to care for. I'm comfortable with all kinds of care from feeding, walking, playing and petting, to even giving oral medications when needed. You'll never have to worry about a thing at all. While you're away, your pet will have a comfy and loving home to stay and play around! When it comes to house-sitting, we're a one-stop shop. We can water your plants and take out the garbage in addition to caring for your pets, for example. Due to the parking situation in downtown areas/areas without parking, we charge an additional $5 for house-sitting. My contact information is on the website. Feel free to contact me at anytime. See you all soon! Thank you and God bless you and your family.

Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!

About: I have 30 years of pet experience including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. Everyone forgets about feeding the fish! If watching your pet at your home, I will be sure to make sure that not only your pets is safe, happy and taken care of but that your home is looked after as well. I have been a home owner for 17 years and have great attention to detail. Your pet will be in safe and loving hands. I do provide daily pictures with updates if that is something you would like. I work a 4 day work week and have great availability to spend a lot of time with your pets in order to give them the best care while you are away. I have a fenced in yard so your pet would not need to be able to be walked on a leash but love to go on walks if that is what the prefer. I treat your pets the same way I treated my princess of a dog when she was still with us. They are allowed anywhere you would let them and I respect your rules. If you don't like them on furniture or in beds I comply and follow through with those wishes. I try to keep thier routine the same as you use to keep the pet relaxed and happy.

This is our second time having Barb take care of our cat while we were away. It’s great to be able to go on vacation and know your cat is being well cared for. Our cat only lays on my lap. She won’t go to anyone else even family. Each day I received a picture of her cuddled up on Barb’s lap. It doesn’t get any better than that.

My pup is very anxious and scared of everything so I was admittedly nervous about trusting a stranger with her but Barb was so patient and genuine and took her time to get my pup to relax. She really surprised me with how quickly she made progress. 10/10
