5. Selena I.
“Selena is an exceptional choice for your pet-sitting needs! From the very first time she cared for my dogs, I knew I’d be a repeat customer. Not only did she clean up my dog after a muddy play session (and the mess he tracked into the house), but she also went above and beyond to ensure each of my pets received the individualized care they needed. Selena expertly managed their special diets and administered multiple medications on a strict schedule without missing a beat. My pets absolutely adore her, and her attention to detail and genuine love for animals make her a standout caregiver! Tanya G.”

7. Tatiana P.
“Thank you for this opportunity to help Tatiana. Tatiana is a kind hearted person not only to people but to pets. Although she is shy, she seems to bond very well with animals. I think they feel her kind nature and that is great to see. I would trust Tatiana to watch my pets for long periods of time and know that they were safe with her.”
8. Sidney A.
“Sidney was a HUGE help. We needed a house sitter last minute and she responded quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet in advance for our peace of mind. We were out of state so it was very important we had updates and communication. Sidney went above and beyond to provide photos, videos and constant reassurance of how things were going. She respected our house rules and asked for permission before anything. We appreciated her greatly and are now rebooking her moving forward🤗”

19. Sarah R.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs since I was a little kid and always enjoy being around dogs. My favorite part is to run around and play with dogs, but I also enjoy walking dogs as it gives me time to relax and clear my mind. I have lots of free time while waiting for work calls, I would love to fill that time caring for and playing with your animals. I will give any medication your pets may need, love and care for them as if they were my own and would enjoy taking them on walks when needed.
