Justin was everything we were looking for to help us last minute. He was very accommodating, punctual, and had consistent communication. He took time to go over everything for our dog Kona and followed directions perfectly. I would highly recommend Justin and we will definitely be booking him again in the future!

I am so grateful for the exceptional care Sherry provided during a drop-in that was requested at the last minute. Sherry was quick to respond. She made sure Kazo was spolied and and updated me with photos that showed how much attention and love he received. Sherry provided outstanding service. I highly recommend her for reliability, warmth, and professionalism!

Madigan did a wonderful job checking in on our kitties while we were out of town! She was comfortable with giving my elderly cat her insulin injections and oral medications and did a great job giving them to her. She wrote detailed notes about each visit, took lots of great pictures, and showed our kitties lots of love. Would recommend Madigan- she will do an awesome job taking care of your pets!

Iliana was great and very professional. Having Iliana check in on our dogs while I was out of town for business really put my mind at ease. I received a very details update and photos. We will definitely rebook!

Kara did an incredible job handling my anxious big boy. Talking through some things she was seeing and keeping me incredibly well informed. Her care and attention is clear to see from the moment she starts interacting to the conclusion of the visit. Many thanks Kara!

Kristin was fantastic to have watch our babies! She has excellent communication and was very flexible! Our fur babies are apprehensive with new people, but Kristin won their hearts almost immediately! Couldn't say enough good things about her, and would be Happy to book again!!

Katie visited our senior girl twice a day for a week while we were on vacation and she was great! Her response time was quick, and her check-in messages were thorough and left us feeling assured everything we requested while we were away was being handled as we hoped. We would definitely use her again in the future.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. From running over to let out the neighbor’s dog, to pet sitting for friends & family members while they’re on vacation. I grew up in a home with two dogs, both of which I’ve helped care for and go out of my way to spoil with love. Fun fact: I’ve also raised and cared for goats, rabbits, cats, turtles, frogs, and fish. I am a full-time student, but I would love to care for (& walk!) your furry companion(s) in my spare time. I’m a firm believer that the best therapists have wagging tails! I recently adopted a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever and I can assure you that I will care for your pet with the same enthusiasm and warmth as I do her.

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

Catherine was awesome! She dropped in with Grimm and Gypsy, gave Grimm his meds and gave them their nightime treats. The huskies loved her and said they definitely would like for Catherine to take care of them again.

Great communication and easy to talk through options with. Super flexible too — when we had a last-minute change in plans, she happily accommodated us and our dog. Our pup genuinely looks forward to her visits. Highly recommend!

Courteney has dropped in multiple times and for multiple days to care for our elderly cat as we have traveled far and wide. We have never worried about our kitty while we were away and Courteney was on duty. She is extremely dependable, trustworthy, stays in contact regularly, and is sensitive to animals' temperament and moods. I highly recommend her without reservation!

I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!

About: I have had pets ever since I was young and my husband has also had animals since he was younger as well. We have lots of experience taking care of many pets at a time since we have 4! They will be treated exactly like our pets! Family, I treat my pets like they are my children. I am self employed so I work whenever I need to work. If I need to be home I can stay home it’s all based on my animals needs and yours too! Pets are always allowed on furniture and beds. In fact, all 4 of my pets sleep in bed with me, so yours is welcome to do the same! My house has a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play. I also take my dogs out for 3-4 long walks a day to keep them happy.

Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!

About: Currently not employed anywhere else so your pet will receive my full time and attention. I love being outside so if walks for your pooch are required, rest easy knowing they will be plenty exercised while you’re away. I’ve had experience with big dogs and small, senior dogs and puppies, adult cats and kittens. I have experience clipping nails and claws and have no problem giving baths if needed. Currently unemployed so my routine is wide open to add a few furry clients. I also have a helper so if more assistance is needed for the animals, I’m capable of handling it Willing to be in the home the entire booked stay. Will follow the feeding and exercise schedule left for me by the owners. Keep pets comfortable and at ease
