Sam was wonderful with River. She was great with communication and sent frequent updates and pictures which we appreciated immensely. Having Penney come over for play dates was a bonus. We look forward to having Sam care for River again in the future. We both felt very comfortable with her which made our vacation more enjoyable!

Chandler took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat. He kept us updated with lots of pictures and it was clear from every photo that they were having a great time. It is always nerve-wracking leaving your fur-babies behind, but Chandler’s frequent check-ins and obvious affection for Moon, Ellie, and Star made us feel completely at ease. He is reliable, kind, and treated our home with respect. We will definitely be asking him to watch them again!

Tiffany was an amazing caretaker for our two cats and two dogs while we were away for a week. She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and truly got to know our pets. She followed their routine and made them feel safe and happy. She comforted the nervous pups through fireworks AND thunder in one night (the horror!!!) and left the house super tidy. We definitely hope to have her back!

Brooklynn was wonderful with our dog Otto! She sent us frequent updates and photos, took him for fun adventures, and made sure he was happy and safe while we were away for the weekend. She left our house spotless too! We would definitely love to have Brooklynn spend time with Otto again. Thank you, Brooklynn!

About: My life has been filled with the joy of both dogs and cats. As a child, I grew up with Collies and adopted my first cat in college. In my adult life, my husband and I have raised a black lab/golden retriever, three Great Pyrenees and five cats. Our current household is with our beloved 14 year old Great Pyrenees, Dolly and our two cats, Licorice and Ken. My love and care for my own pets is something that I would like to offer now to others. I am a dedicated pet owner and enjoy taking my own dog for daily walks every day, and enjoy spending quality time with my indoor cats. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes and ages of both dogs and cats and would love to offer my love and care to your fur babies! I currently work during the day at an elementary school, Monday - Friday. My availability during the week is limited to afternoon/evenings. During the summer months (starting in later June), my schedule opens up to morning, afternoon and evenings. Weekends, I am typically available morning, afternoon and evenings. I will try to be as flexible as I can be to work with your schedule! I will provide all the loving care to your pets in your that I provide to my own pets in my home. I look forward to getting to know them, to earn their trust, and to meet their needs - through exercise, playtime, feeding, cleaning, and most importantly, lots of love!

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have both a dog and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I take my dog on daily walks, so I’m comfortable handling dogs and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I will treat them with the same love and attention that I give my own pets. I currently work part-time during the summer and am a full-time college student during the academic year, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. This summer, I have ample time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you're away, I am committed to providing reliable, caring, and attentive service for your furry family members. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box care. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to maintain their normal routine while creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

My husband and I one hundred percent recommend Nishat! She was communicative, professional but personable, and very quick to respond when my husband and I were desperately making last minute sitting plans for our big pup Oliver and cat Dexter! At the meet and greet, it was immediately clear that Nishat is an animal lover and during the few days she took care of our fur babies, the pictures and videos she sent made it clear our little ones were in safe and loving hands! Thank you, Nishat! Whatever pets and pet parents you take care of are lucky to have you!

I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!

I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.

Destiny was incredibly knowledgeable, capable, and thoughtful watching my dog. I'd never left my dog with anyone before, so I wasn't sure exactly how it would go, but Destiny did a great job following all of our routines, keeping my dog enriched, and sent really through updates every day. I would recommend Destiny to anyone looking for a dog sitter or walker.

Kari was amazing watching our puppy. She sent photos and detailed updates, and took care of our puppy exactly as instructed (maybe even better!). She was respectful of our home and left it the same as when she arrived. Would absolutely have Kari stay at our house to dog sit again.

Sami did a great job of communicating with us while watching Jack and Penny. The house and the dogs were all in great shape when we returned. There was a mishap with a tent because of strong winds from a storm and Sami checked with us to see if we needed them to do anything to take care of the situation. We really appreciated that. The dogs were tired and happy when we got home which is always a great sign of a sitter taking the time to exercise them. We were very pleased with our visit and the ability to get away without worry. Sami even stripped the sheets from the bed!!

Emmy (and Banjo) took great care of Jameson. It is clear how much she cares about dogs and strives to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Jameson was a tired boy when we got home and our house was also well cared for. She sent lots of photo updates which we love. We will certainly hire again!!

Andy stepped in at the last minute to help us when we had to take an unexpected trip. Other than our brief meet and greet, he had no knowledge of our pets. Andy had to deal with an energetic large dog with tummy issues and two cats who hate the dog, and yet he never complained once. He fed them, scooped litter boxes, administered some medications, played with the kitties, and made sure our dog got out for regular potty breaks/walks. He also sent pictures each day. We very much appreciated his efforts!

Lindsay house sat for my dog, Clover, for almost a week. Lindsay is organized, responsible, smart, conscientious, kind, responsive, proactive, and lovely! She kept me up to date with photos and videos throughout each day, which I really appreciated. Lindsay noticed things around the house that might need tending to and took care of them - plants watering, trash/recycling out to the curb on trash day, etc. My flight home was cancelled, and Lindsay was flexible with plans. When I returned home, my place was spotless. I am so happy to have found her - highly recommend!

She spent the entire day and evening with our pups (one who couldn’t be left alone), and it gave me such peace of mind to know they were being cared for by someone who clearly loves animals and is kind, thoughtful, attuned to their needs - everything you’d hope for in a pet sitter. Shirley is communicative, super friendly, professional, and a lovely person. I look forward to having her hang out with our pups again, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
