Vanessa is such a kind individual, and our puppy loved her right away. We are so lucky we found her to watch our little fur baby, and our little guy is so lucky to have had such a great play date! Thanks, Vanessa!

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve fostered dogs for a canine rescue, allowed pets to stay in my home while their owner was waiting for a new home as well as numerous pet sitting opportunities at their owner’s houses. I teach until 3pm and get home around 3.30. Depending on the day, I may have to coach or work my second job during the week. Weekends are usually more flexible but I can make almost anything work! I follow the exact instructions that the owner leaves or communicates with me, especially if it comes to meds or feedings. I enjoy caring for people’s pets as if they were my own and allows me to get my animal fix whenever possible 😊

Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.

About: I've interacted with all types of pets since I was a child. My experience includes 2 dog daycares (7 years total), a pet store, an animal shelter, and, most recently, running my own pet services business for 2 years. I believe in force-free training and rewarding animals for desired behavior. I have experience with cats, plus exotics like guinea pigs and reptiles. At home I have 3 cats: Hazel, Harlow, and Littles, and a guinea pig named Swirl. I'm passionate about ensuring the animals I interact with are happy and healthy. I am available to do walks, overnights, and check-ins. The more notice you can give ahead of time, the better. Thanks, and I hope to be spoiling your furbabies soon! :) I'm looking to provide personalized pet care full-time throughout the week in my general area. Please give as advanced notice as possible for ease of scheduling! I know how loved your furbabies are, so safety is of utmost importance! Knowing your pet's needs and general routine is significant to ensure they have a great experience. I strive to make the time as enjoyable as possible for your pets, so I watch them in your home where they're most comfortable.

Emily was amazing! She was so good with my 2 pups. I am so thankful for the care and love she showed for Wallace and Wyatt in my home for 2 days. I love my dogs and it was so refreshing to know they were in such great hands while I was away, i was able to relax for once without worrying about them! I would recommend her to anyone.

About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!

Great sitter/walker. Karen did a great job taking care of the animals and sent nice picture updates on our 4 animals. The cats it seems took to her right away. We will hopefully get her to watch our animals again in the future.

The dogs had a great time and really enjoyed being with Jeannine. She did take good care of them, she took them for walks and fed them. She did send too the cutest photos of my dogs Lucy and Bandit. I also really appreciate that she watched them last min for me when my other sitter unexpectly canceled the day before I left. Overall, very happy.

About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !

Mackenzie was an absolute dream of a cat sitter. She took such thoughtful care of our two cats with both morning and evening check-ins, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about them 💕 She kept everything clean and tidy, made sure they were well fed (and well loved), and kept us updated with nice photos and messages. Her updates gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to two very happy cats. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

We were so lucky to have found Stephanie! Our usual Rover recently had a baby and Stephanie happened to be available for a last minute booking. They were quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved the boys. Everything went smoothly and we look forward to having them watch the boys again soon! We would highly recommend!

Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!
