9. Christina F.
“I have three dogs and a cat, and the cat has a fish. My house is loud and chaotic. With two working dogs and a crotchety old Pomeranian, it's needless to say that my furbabies are not always well-behaved. Finding a pet sitter with the patients to manage our chaos was a blessing! Christina is unquestionably the best pet sitter we've had the pleasure to get to know. Her kind and loving nature immediately put us and our pets at ease. She was prepared for every situation that our menagerie put her through. Our last trip was five days out of state, and I was completely comfortable knowing that Christina was taking care of things at home. When we came back, I think our Aussie was ready to trade us in for her, if truth be told. I cannot recommend her highly enough! If you have the opportunity to find a spot on her schedule, book it immediately! She's a gem!”
10. Jasmine S.
“Really enjoyed Jasmine's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule! She gave great updates and our pup is tired (in the best way).So grateful she took such great care.”
11. Katie H.
“Katie is a fantastic sitter ! She was very patient with my pup ? it was his first time staying in a stranger’s home. When I came to pick him up he looked so happy and energetic! She sent me multiple updates with pictures throughout the day which eased my nerves and worries. I will be using her again!!!”
12. Lucia R.
“First time ever using this app and Lucia made it easy to book with her, nice and responsive! She sent me a video of my dog and that was comforting! Kona was happy and got to play her little heart out! Thank you so much!”
13. Mary S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!
14. Osvaldo M.
“Osvaldo and his family treat my boy like he was their own. He always gets plenty of exercise and play. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him.”
15. Kelly B.
“Kelly was great to hank and did a good job! He was VERY tired when he got home from playing with her wonderful dogs. Will definitely be using her again!”
16. Shae A.
“Shae has been an exceptional friend and I know she’s a great dog owner as well. I don’t have personal experience with her watching my dog alone but play dates and hangouts are always a good time! Especially for the pups. You will not be disappointed in your service.”
17. Charlie H.
About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.
18. Andrew & Jackson G.
“Andrew is our go-to to watch our dog, Sully, when we’re out of town. He loves dogs and treats our Sully like he’s his own! We get many pictures from Andrew while we’re away and know Sully is being taken well care of. Andrew has always taken great care of Sully and I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone needing a dog sitter! He’s the absolute best!”
19. Courtney C.
“Courtney is great with animals. She has taken to my pup Lira who is a long haired dachshund and Lira absolutely loves cuddling with Courtney. I know that Lira is in good hands when I leave Lira with her and that's the best feeling you can have as a dog owner (:”
20. Patty D.
“Patty is such a dog lover! She is so responsible too. She loves dogs and I would trust her with my pet any day. Your furry friend would always be in safe hands with Patty.”
