Abby is a wonderful dog sitter! We could not have gotten luckier with finding her to care for our dog! Throughout the last year she’s watched our dog multiple times and is always very communicative, flexible when we’ve needed it, follows all directions, and clearly really cares about our dog. Would truly recommend Abby to absolutely anyone that needs a dog sitter! Thank you Abby!

Kristin was Amazing!!! I have only ever left my animals with my daughter, niece or mom and found out that 3 days before we got home from our week long trip that none of them could come stay.. we have a senior dog that needs to be carried most of the time, and a 100lb rescue who before she came to live with us had never had human contact so trusts no one.. Kristin was exactly the perfect person for the job!! The animals seemed so comfortable and Kristin kept us updated the entire time so I never had to worry!!! I will 100% hire her again!!!

About: Ive taken care of animals since before I can remember. All pets are given all the love I have to offer. I’m very gentle with older pets and always do my best to make sure they’re comfortable and pampered. I've got more free time on my hands than I know what to do with; so it would be no problem at all to take care of your pets! I make sure pets get regularly taken out, as well as making sure they’re happy and fed. I also get a little silly and play with them for hours!

"Kassidy was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was top-tier; she sent plenty of updates and photos, which kept my mind at ease Rover. She followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, Ella didn't show any signs of stress when I returned. Kassidy even went the extra mile to brush Ella so she looked all pretty for my arrival! Beyond the great pet care, my house looked even better than when I left it. Kassidy has proven she is a trustworthy and reliable sitter, and I’ve already booked her again. Highly recommend!

About: I have had pets in my home since I was 5 years old and love caring for animals of every kind! For the past 5 years, I have extended my love for animals to my neighbors and friends. When they left town, they entrusted me to care for their plants, animals, and houses. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and cows! I am an engineering student and have class for most of the day. I have plenty of breaks between classes where I would have time to check on your pet (except Thursdays) and I am usually free at night. I cannot provide pet care in my own home, but I am flexible and a good learner, and I will communicate with you to ensure that your pets are taken care of the way you want them to be in your own home.

Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.

About: While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve cared for dogs, my own and those belonging to family and friends, for around 20 years and I’ve been caring for cats for nearly 30 years. I’m gentle, patient and calm, and follow instructions closely so your pets can stay happy and comfortable in your absence. I’m currently studying for my GED and not working, so my schedule is flexible. I’m available most days for house sitting and drop in visits. I follow instructions well, I can check in and update as much as is needed. I care for every animal and show attention as if they were my own.

Alaina was the absolute best! From the moment we met her for our meet and greet, our dogs were instantly comfortable and our hearts were at ease. She took great care of our 3 dogs from the littlest dog to our very large dog. Our older dog takes medication twice a day and she had no problem making sure that was taken care of as well. We came home to our house looking amazing and you could tell she took great care of it. We also got lots of photo updates which we appreciated so much. We can’t recommend her enough!

About: My family has more than 20 years of pet care experience. We have also searched for boarding houses, so I know what pet parents want. A clean boarding house is good for the health of pets, and I clean and disinfect my house every day. My home is close to the park. We take them to the park every day. Exercise is good for the health of pets. I am a graphic designer and usually work at home, so I have more time for pet care. My daughter is a student right now at high school and after school, she can take them on a walk, so we have plenty of time to take care of them. I have a 6-foot fenced yard, also a whole basement for them. They can roam freely in the house, no smoking, and no little kids. I will check them every 2 hours to see if they need anything.

About: I have taken care of my own personal animals for about 6 years now (hence the years of experience), but I have also taken care of many other animals before living on my own! I have had experience giving diabetes medication to cats before (injection). I also have experience giving pills, ointments, and eye drops! I currently only have classes from 9:30am to 12:15pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. All other days I am completely free and available. I only ever go to college part-time so I have a lot of free time! I cannot house any pets unfortunately at my place, however I can make as many visits or keep as much company with your fur babies as needed!

Ariana was beyond great! From the communication prior to booking, to the meet and greet, and then throughout the visit, she was fantastic. She was very attentive to our needs and carefully followed all of our care instructions for our 2 dogs and 5 cats.

Emma was an amazing house sitter and treated our two elderly, little dogs and our home with impeccable care. We booked late, had numerous travel delays and had to extend our trip and left with one of our dogs feeling under the weather. Emma didn't miss a beat. She made our otherwise stressful trip so much better by being consistent with her communication and going above and beyond to care for our little pups. She provided us with updates, photos and an immaculate house upon our return. I can't recommend her enough to take care of your pets!

Kindness and compassion are just the beginning of this review. She never once made me question my decision and was sure to keep me updated anytime I asked. Came home to a clean place, happy dogs, and an overall good vibe. I'd recommend her to anyone who adores their pets like us. She truly is top notch.
