21. Soren & Austen R.

“Soren had an amazing attention to detail and cared for our two kitties so well. He gave detailed Rover card updates and was very responsive if I had any questions. Each daily card made me feel less anxious that we were away from our fur babies! Would book again!”


22. Teresa D.

25. Star W.
“Star cared for my Maltese and Hound mix for two weeks while I was out of state! She did a great job ensuring the dogs were taken care of. They were kept entertained, fed and given plenty of potty breaks! I’m so grateful for her help and I would 100% recommend her!”


26. Alicia F.
“I am so relieved to have found Alicia. She is the best dog sitter I've found. Always on time, takes great care of my pup, and is incredibly responsible. Plus she makes a point to keep me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day which gives me peace of mind. I can't reccomend her enough. If you're looking for someone relaible- she's the one.”


27. Nicole B.

“As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.”


28. rachael b.
“Rachael is an excellent caregiver for my cat Martha. Martha is a rescue and is very skittish/nervous around people she doesn’t know and Rachael takes the time to sit with her to bond with her and make her feel more comfortable. She sends daily updates and photos and I can go away knowing Martha is being looked street by someone who knows what they are doing and who cares.”


29. Margaret C.
About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.


30. Christina B.

“Christina took excellent care of our two cats and a hermit crab while we were away for a whole holiday week. The update notes and photos made us feel so much better while we were so far away. Her knowledge and skills gave us complete confidence, and we would absolutely book with her again in the future.”


31. Kelly & Jimmy H.
“Kelly watched my dog for 2 weeks while I was out of state… anything I did not bring with the pup Kelly provided and I reimbursed after the stay.. extremely thoughtful and if your dogs like other dogs she has two of the sweetest dogs for company. I would recommend Kelly to watch my dog or any animal for that matter as long as you have your instructions ready. A great asset to the animal sitting community.”


32. Scott M.
“Scott recently took care of my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup was happy and content under Scott’s care. He communicated with me through out the time I was away and my dog was well cared for. I would recommend Scott for your pet care needs!”


33. Chelsea W.
“I adopted Crew and Mishka from Chelsea who was their foster mom originally. After adopting the two, Chelsea has helped with taking them doctor appointments and over night stays! She truly cares about the animals and makes sure their needs are taken care. As Mishka has neurological damage she does have experience with that too.”


34. Allison M.

“Allison took great care of our furry family, we are so grateful for her assistance and care over the holidays. We will certainly be utilizing her services in the future.”


35. Meagan H.

“Meagan is a sweetheart. She really loved Botti and hs quirky ways. Meagan was friendly, flexible and accomodating. I will definitely contact Meagan for future needs.”


36. Sharon W.
About: I've been a dog mom since 1986 and owned many different sizes of dogs. I've also been a cat mom to 2 wonderful cats. I work a seasonal part time job, which allows me the flexibility to pet sit. I enjoy walking dogs and meeting new furry friends. I am retired from my full-time career and currently work a part time seasonal job. This allows me the flexibility to dog walk and do drop in pet care. I have a fenced in yard. There's plenty of room for fetch and plenty of room to run and play. I am experienced in walking dogs and have walked two at a time.


37. Samantha T.

“Samantha was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. She was not only early for every visit, but she communicated with me when she would show up, when she would leave, sent pictures on every visit, and followed the requested schedule to a tee. This was our first time using this app and Samantha has certainly set the bar. There’s no question I would highly recommend Samantha for your pet sitting needs.”


38. Carly D.

“We used Carly on 2 different occasions for our 4 dogs. She was wonderful and punctual. All our dogs loved her...even the one who doesn't like most people. I highly recommend Carly!”


39. Jana B.
“Jana is a true animal lover to her very core. She will do whatever needs to be done to help out an animal in need. She is a responsible, loving and trustworthy pet caregiver. I would trust her to watch any of my fur children any day. If you are looking for someone to give your pets excellent care, then look no further. Jana is wonderful.”
