1. Harley B.

“Harley did an excellent job taking care of our kitties. One of our cats takes a pill each day, so we booked a professional instead of relying on friends or family. She did a great job administering meds, and our other cats loved her too. We have one extremely shy kitty who hides when strangers are in the house, and he was friendly with her! She was prompt, spent time playing with them, and sent us notes and pictures daily. Will definitely book again.”


2. Dana M.

“Dana is fantastic!! She is so accommodating and is always punctual. She goes above and beyond our expectations. Max adores Dana and enjoys his time with her. We’re so happy we found a sitter like her to take care of our fur baby.”


3. Jackie G.

10. Tricia M.
“I hired Tricia to take care of my cat while I was away, and she did an amazing job! She sent me daily updates with photos, and I could tell my cat was happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She is a very loving and caring pet person. Plus you get a bonus as she’s a certified vet tech so if something is amiss with your pet she would know.”


11. Sydney D.
“Sydney D, Has my puppy dog on a few different occasions and the times she has watched him she has taken very great care of him. She is responsible and she pays attention to him and plays with him and takes him out. It is not always easy to watch him because she also has his cousin there with brim too. So she is able to watch multiple dogs at one time. She is friendly and mindful.of your home also.”




12. Kandy S.

“Kandy was awesome with our girl. I loved that I could leave her with someone who is comfortable around big dogs. She was able to make responsible, in person decisions about her care that took a load off my mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

15. Janell T.
“Ever since I’ve known Janell, she’s been a loving, responsible, and amazing animal caretaker. She has always made strides to make sure there is balance between customer and animal needs. Definitely one of the most reliable, and trustworthy animal caretakers I’ve had the experience of meeting.”


16. Heather G.

“Heather is one of three people I trust with my baby Ryder. She loves him like she loves her own and he in turn loves to see her when she comes over! Highly recommended!!”


17. Kelsi T.

“Kelsi is such an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond for my cat, Julien. She gave me thorough updates including how much he ate, his bathroom habits, and his behavior. He behaves differently when I’m away so it was great to hear that he was happy and doing well. It was it easier for me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of by Kelsi. She even kept plants alive and watered through a heat wave. I will definitely be requesting her services the next time I need a pet sitter.”


18. Ashlyn H.
About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!


19. Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth watched my dog for me for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job, he was happy happy when she shared pictures with me. She is very reliable and will love your dog just like her own.”




20. Shannon W.

“Shannon was so very helpful for our last minute need for a drop-in on Christmas day! Our usual sitter didnt respond to our booking request AGAIN & this is the second time we've used Shannon on a last minute notice. I felt super bad because it was Christmas, but she accepted the job & gave our golden retriever lots of love. Thank you so much Shannon, we'll be firing our usual sitter & going with you from now on!”
