5. Phylicia D.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Mostly cats and dogs. I have learned to understand their behaviors really well. I even have a special place in my heart for the seniors & the sassy ones. I am happy to help! I work from home part time so I can be flexible with pet care & have time to play/give attention to your pet. I am available for boarding after 3 pm on weekdays & I am pretty flexible for weekends. I work from home and am able to walk your dog as much as they need should you need to board them at my home.

18. Roxana Q.

“Roxana was the best! Came home to a clean place and happy pets. She followed instructions well and i felt really comfortable with her watching my dog and kitties.”


19. John M.
“I've known JT for a while now, and I can confidently say he'd make a great pet sitter. Last summer I watched JT take care of our friend's dog for a whole week, and he did a great job. He was extremely responsible and continuously checked in on the dog. He made sure the dog was always fed and got exercise and time outside. JT would leave plans early and work events around his priority of taking care of the dog. Jt is a very responsible and caring person, and any pet would be lucky to have him!”


20. Breanne C.
“Best dog sitter ever! Breanne made our fur babies feel at home while staying with her and did an amazing job of keeping their normal schedule which helped keep them calm and happy while we were away on vacation. Our pups are older and love people but usually get nervous when their owners are away; Breanne created such a fun and loving home away from home that continues to make Taylor and Zelda overjoyed to visit for long weekends even if they know it means mom and dad are leaving. Highly recommend Breanne!!”
