“Avanthi and Bharath took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! We appreciated the video and photo updates and all of the love and care they received. We will definitely be booking for future trips!”
2. Kevin F.
“Kevin was a reliable, kind, clean and trustworthy pet and house sitter for us! He made sure to ask relevant information about our home and cat ahead of time, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation more and minimize communication while we were away. He was timely and very professional. We received daily updates (and pictures!) of our cat, and it was evident how well cared for she was, given that they were inseparable by the end of his stay! We had some unexpected house needs come up during Kevin’s stay which he kindly supported us with. We returned to a home that seemed even cleaner than we had left it, and to a happy cat.”
3. Emily W.
“Emily was a great pet sitter for our two large puppy dogs, a 1.5 yo husky mix and a 8 mo GSD. She clearly has a lot of experience and love for animals. Emily was very attentive to my instructions and our dogs warmed right up to her! She was prompt to respond to my texts and sent pictures of the dogs playing. We are all looking forward to having Emily pet sit again soon.”

“I am delighted to recommend Megan Williams as an outstanding and dependable pet sitter. During our recent trip, she took exceptional care of our French Bulldog, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with her service. From our first interaction, Megan was responsive, friendly, and professional. She took the time to thoroughly understand our dog’s needs and routines, ensuring he felt comfortable and well cared for in our absence. Megan’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Her dedication to this role is evident, and we’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. I highly recommend Megan to anyone seeking a caring, reliable pet sitter.”

19. Preston & Krislyn P.
About: Hello! My name is Preston, and I have been passionately caring for pets for over 20 years. As a dedicated pet lover, I understand the importance of providing exceptional care and attention to our furry friends. Throughout my extensive experience, I have gained invaluable knowledge and skills that make me an ideal candidate for pet/house sitting. My journey into pet care started at a young age when I discovered my profound connection with animals. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning and understanding their needs, behavior, and overall well-being. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small mammals. I firmly believe that each pet is unique, and their care should be tailored accordingly. When entrusted with a pet's well-being, I go above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. From regular exercise and feeding routines to administering medication and providing ample playtime, I am committed to maintaining their health and overall quality of life. In addition to pet care, I understand the importance of home security and maintenance. As a responsible house sitter, I will ensure that your home is well-looked-after during your absence. You can trust me to keep your property safe and organized, and I will gladly handle any additional tasks you may require, such as watering plants, collecting mail, or managing other household responsibilities. My previous clients have appreciated my professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take pride in building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, ensuring open communication and trust throughout the entire pet-sitting experience. With my two decades of personal pet care experience, you can rest assured that your beloved pets and home will be in capable hands. I am excited to meet your furry family members and provide them with the utmost care, affection, and attention they deserve. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your specific pet-sitting needs. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your furry companions. Me and my wife does a team effort in making sure your pet is not neglected. I work a full time job and can care for them after I finish work as my wife can care for your pet during the mornings. We are free most days and will just need to schedule accordingly to work things out. Whatever your situation is, we can accommodate most of it besides boarding. We have little ones and would only be open to boarding if the pets are very gentle pets. We also have a dog of our own which we rescued and she is now a sweet giant.
