7. Christine L.
“Christine has pet sat for our kitty. She loves animals and they seem to love her right back. She definitely has a way with animals. She will take her time during her visits and is not one to rush out in a hurry. Christine enjoys her visits and will always put the animals needs first. She is kind, gentle, and will really go out of her way to make each visit a special one. I can honestly say, your animals will be loved and well cared for. We wouldn't use anyone else! She even puts Cat TV on when she leaves, so that our kitty has some stimulation while alone. You'll be so glad you've chosen her!!!”

11. Nicole M.
About: I've lived with cats my whole life and have one of my own. Can navigate any cat you may have. I absolutely adore dogs as well but I have not yet owned one, so please keep this in mind when reaching out about dogs that require a little more experience! My schedule at the moment is very flexible and I can take on new one time or weekly clients for any day of the week. I will follow all of you instructions as to how to properly take care of your fur baby. Feel free to provide detailed instructions for their care.


12. Sarah K.

“Sarah was wonderful! She was on time, responsive and took wonderful care of our pets! Our house was left clean and she even texted and asked questions when one of our pets wasn’t fully finishing meals. We felt our pets were in wonderful hands. We will definitely be having her back soon.”


13. Rihana G.

“Rihana is literally the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Our dog Indy clearly loved her and was spoiled while we were gone. She took her on multiple walks and played with her outside and sent tons of pictures. She also left our house cleaner than when we left. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Rihana! 😊”


14. Hannah N.

“Hannah is wonderful! Our puppy loved her. I was worried she'd whine and cry, but slnit at all - she had a blast, behaved well, and even learned a new trick from her new friend. Hannah's a lovely girl, very friendly and kind, and knows what she's doing with dogs 100%. Super recommended!”


15. Janice H.
“To be upfront, Janice is my twin sister. With that said, however, she also also my built-in pet sitter. Whenever I need someone to take care of my cat, she's the first person I talk to and I trust her implicitly. Our background is much the same, though she has had some veterinary technician education that I have not (much to our benefit - it's her knowledge on this front that helped us identify issues in our pets' diet and rectify it while also helping educate others with that same knowledge). She and I have worked together caring for animals all over the spectrum from small, caged animals to large farm animals. When my dog developed epilepsy, Janice was a huge bedrock of support making sure she got the round-the-clock care her aggressive seizures required for most of a year. I also know first-hand that she's experienced in wound care, delivering oral, topical, rectal, and injected medications (cats, dogs, and even an injured rooster, sick chinchilla, and elderly rats), and otherwise addressing special needs. I am a pet sitter myself so I understand both the importance of having someone you trust care for your animals while also understanding what high quality care looks like. Is she my sister? Yes. But I also trust her first with my animals and I have no doubt you would find that trust to be well-placed. She'll care for your pets and your home with the utmost care, consideration, and respect.”


16. Destiny L.
“Dlo is amazing with animals and cares for them deeply as if they were their own. They have taken care my cat countless of times giving him the best pets and endless love! Highly recommend”


17. Jennifer K.

“Jennifer has great communication and takes excellent care of our dog. It’s so nice to have peace of mind while we are away. Very happy we found her!”


18. Laurita V.

“Laurita is a gem! She was very responsible, took good care of my elderly dog, Diego, and kept in close contact with me while I was away. She navigated an issue at my house well and was helpful when I had a service person come by. And when I returned home after two weeks, my house and outdoor plants looked great! I trust Laurita and am glad to have found her. And my 14.5 year old fur baby is happy too.”


19. Paige S.

“Paige was attentive and caring with our puppy. She took her out frequently for potty breaks as she is still not fully house trained. She kept our home tidy and was kind enough to stay longer when our outting went long. I would highly recommend Paige and hope to use her for pet sitting services again.”


20. Sara E.
“Sara Evensen would be an amazing pet sitter because she has such a natural love of animals. She’s had it a lot of experience and spent a lot of time with them. Plus she also has a caring, loving heart. The owners will know that their best friends will be safe and very well loved”
