Beto took excellent care of my shy cat while I was away for a weekend trip, and I was thrilled to see that Beto was able to get her to warm up and play! Beto provided timely and reliable service, and will definitely be my first choice to look after my cat for future trips.

Adaptable, accommodating, caring, considerate, and loving. Was in need of last minute coverage for our 2 pups for a week with only hours notice. A call not easy for anyone to answer. But not only did she answer the call, she provided great feedback, asked insightful questions should any concerns arise, and made our pups feel at home when we were out of town. Kept our pups fed, happy, walked, stimulated, and comforted Highly recommend, will definitely be using her repeatedly for the foreseeable future.

Allison is an amazing dog sitter! Tara absolutely light up when she sees her! She always makes sure she gets plenty of activity and love, and send me pictures throughout the day. I always come home to a happy and healthy pup ready for a nap after a fun day.

Olivia is amazing! She took care of my cat while I was out of town for several days, and I came home to a very happy cat! She made sure to provide me with updates and pictures everyday, and of course made sure “D” had fresh food and clean water everyday. I would highly recommend Olivia! She is friendly, trustworthy, and loves animals. I will definitely book Olivia next time I need a sitter. Thanks, Olivia!

Katy is a pro - she wrote great notes of her visits, her photos were action shots of my cat who sleeps 23 hours a day, she even brought Boo a new toy to play with. I'll hire her again in a second.

Megan cares deeply about every animal she meets. She has a huge capacity for love and absolutely adores when she can care and tend for things, people or animals. Megan had two dogs growing up so she is familiar with dogs as well as has a brother in law who is a professional dog trainer. She would make a wonderful dog watcher/walker. She is waiting to get a pet of her own for the time being so this would be great for her in the meantime.

About: I have spent the last year watching my military friends who travel pets minimum of 2 week stints up to a month before trading off. Including small-large dogs and cats. I also house/pet sit for family often while they travel. I'm am very amenable to whatever the pet/owner is used to so as to not disrupt the norm. I work remotely with flexible hours so I am available a lot. Weekends are typically free so I made them my main hours. I can also house sit during the week if that is requested! I always check water/ food (if an open bowl household) for cleanliness; I get fresh water every day if there is no fountain especially. Check to see what the task if the day would be to maintain routine. Quality time so the pet can get more used to me as well. Usually 1-3 walks depending on needs.

I’ve known Flo for 10 years and she is responsible, kind and caring for animals. She’s pet-sitted many times for friends and myself and always gives plenty of updates and follows directions. She genuinely loves animals and anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their pet.
