Kate was a wonderful sitter for our very anxious and senior pit bull. She communicated any challenge she was having (he can be challenging to get up and move around, go outside, eat when we are gone etc.). Her own little senior doggy was wonderful companionship to our guy as well. Would definitely recommend Kate’s service to others. ?

Olivia watched my dog Finley for my girlfriend and I while we were out of town for a long weekend. She took such amazing care of him and was so great about giving us regular updates on their adventures throughout the weekend. She was also so respectful of home and left it looking better than it did before you got there. I could not recommend her more for your pets, she will be our go to rover from now on!

Hanna was really great. She was super accommodating for the very last minute booking. My dogs also loved her and that’s what I was most worried about. I was planning this trip for a few days and had my sister ready to watch my dogs but suddenly we had an extra dog in the house that my sister rehome three years ago. So I booked with Hanna and didn’t do a meet n greet at all. She sent lots of pictures for me and took my two 50 pound huskies on long walks all over my small town. The fact that my dogs even left my house with her says a lot about how much they loved her right away. I’m very grateful and would recommend and definitely book with her again.

Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.

About: I've taken care of my dog and family and friends dogs for many years. I even volunteered in an animal shelter for awhile as well! I currently run a small handmade business from my space. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, we like to run, play fetch, chase squirrels, and spend time treat training. I make sure a walk and quality time are prioritys with animals. I do not take dogs into my living space as I live with friends currently and on the road at times, so I prefer to go to your home and location. I'm very flexible! :)

About: I grew up with pets, and lived with them all throughout college. After college, my roommates had dogs and I took care of them while they were away. I also volunteer at the animal shelter, brining shelter dogs home for overnight and weekend stays ! I work a full time job, but am available after 5pm on weekdays! I am also available anytime on weekends. My schedule can be flexible and I will try to accommodate your needs as best I can! I have experience with animals who are totally stressed out from being in the shelter environment. I know how to take it slow and let animals get comfortable, and would never put them in any kind of stressful or dangerous environment.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and former animal behaviorist that specializes in house-sitting. I currently travel too much for work to have my own pets, so would love to take care of yours. I have a lot of experience administering oral and injection medications to all manner of mammals. I currently work full time during the week, so only accept house-sitting on weekends for new clients to ensure I can provide the full attention and care that meets my standards for pet care. I would love to have a consultation before beginning a house sit to ensure we’re on the same page and all your baby’s needs are met.

I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!

We’ve never felt comfortable leaving our reactive pup with anyone until we saw how well he did with Mimi during our intro visits. She watched both of our dogs over a long weekend and had great communication and kept us updated how things were going. We will definitely reach out to Mimi in the future when we need a sitter!
