1. Tara M.
“Tara is amazing. She’s dropped in twice now with my dog. We had all sorts of issues with the garage door opener and she figured it out so that I didn’t have to rush home to let her in. (Totally my issue). She is also great with the dog. Nice long walks and lots of pictures”
2. Kyle B.
“Kyle took care of our 2 yo cat while we were abroad and not only did an excellent job but was also exceptionally communicative. We have worked with Kyle multiple times now and highly recommend!”
3. Staci H.
“Thank you so much Staci for taking care of our cat while we were gone for the weekend! Staci was kind enough to help us out last minute. Our cat was on liquid antibiotics and Staci administered the medicine like a pro. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures; I knew Nell was in good hands! I would definitely reach out to Staci when we need a sitter in the future :)”
4. Maybelline C.
“Maybelline was very receptive to the needs of my two cats. She learned about their medical needs as well as how they like to play. She was punctual, and really cared about the well-being of our pets. I will definitely ask her to care for my cats again!”
5. Cameron W.
About: I’ve taken care of my own lovely dogs since I was 10, and I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family’s dogs for over 7 years, including dog walking, daily check-ins, and overnight stays. I’ve been watching some of the same dogs for over 5 years, from the puppy stage and on! Im currently getting my Master’s degree. I am available any day of the week with the exception of Monday/Wednesday. On Tuesday/Thursday I am available starting at 12:45! Available all day Friday/Saturday/Sunday. **If needed, I am available 6am-8am ANY and ALL weekdays** I do not have a fenced in yard. But I do have a large house with no other animals and plenty of space, including a great neighborhood for walking!
6. Livia R.
“Livia was wonderful. She came everyday and fed, watered and cleaned the litter box. The cats were shy but by the end of the week came out to see her. I will use Livia in the future.”
7. Tanya M.
“I can't recommend Tanya highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Tanya made the entire process so easy and stress-free. I really appreciate how flexible Tanya is. She will care for your pet at her house or yours and has accommodated us on a number of last minute occasions. Tanya makes sure to understand your dog's needs and makes this a priority. My dog, Bonnie, is energetic and enjoys long walks and is very social. Tanya has always made sure that Bonnie gets plenty of exercise and and time with people and other dogs. Throughout Bonnie's stay, I always receive regular updates and adorable pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I can tell that Tanya genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals she look(s) after. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving dog sitter, look no further. Highly recommended!”

“Nina was amazing with my cat! She made sure to keep me updated with how my cat was doing and was very caring with him. Nina was very kind and I felt relieved knowing my pet was in good hands!”
9. Charlene H.
“Charlene was excellent - incredibly thorough with care, very knowledgeable, generous and warm with our cat. She was able to get our sometimes difficult/reclusive cat to warm up to her and successfully administered his medicine. Charlene sent us plenty of videos and text updates throughout the period we were away. Highly recommend!”
10. Erin W.
About: I have taken care of cats my whole life as well as dogs growing up. I have two cats. I am comfortable and love dogs but not an expert. I am happy to take care of any fur babies. I have a fairly flexible schedule since I work from home. So I can do weekdays and weekends. I can do drop in visits, walks, house sitting. I have 2 cats named Scarlet and Poe. They are strictly indoor cats and are not familiar with dogs. So unfortunately can not do boarding for dogs.
11. Sophia D.
“Sophia was wonderful - excellent communication and photos. She went above and beyond in looking after our dog and house. Couldn't recommend highly enough!”
12. Josie E.
“Josie was amazing! Hearing about her extensive experience caring for and helping to rescue cats immediately put me at ease during our first pre-visit meeting. She also provided fabulous updates on her check-ins that made me feel confident that my cat was well loved and cared for while I was away. I would 100% recommend booking Josie!”
13. Jennifer T.
“Jen has taken care of my Boxer, Snickers, on many occasions. She created a bond with Snickers right away and always brought her home successfully tired, which is exactly what I wanted. Jen was also careful to ensure my pup was super safe and cared for! I HIGHLY recommend!!”
14. John A.
“John is an avid dog lover and loves to go on long walks with dogs from early years to later years and provides great interaction with your dog. Whatever your dog needs he can provide services to walk and take care of your precious furbaby.”

19. Samantha L.
“Samantha was terrific, definitely have her back again”
20. Hailey W.
“Samson, our 6yo lab and Hailey's best friend. Since the day we brought him home she has spent endless hours patiently teaching him tricks, attending to his needs, or just sitting next to him loving his every move! Hailey has always been an animal lover and there's no doubt she will give your dog the TLC he needs when you're not there. She's confident, competent, and caring and I'd strongly recommend her to care for any type dog!”
