“Stephanie was awesome! We were gone for two weeks and Stephanie stayed in our home and watched Haku. She sent us photos frequently and took great care of our home. We would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Stephanie!”
“Ayden was great! I have 2 cats and a young German shepherd and they all seemed very happy with Ayden. She sent me plenty of pictures and I came home to my place very clean and exactly as I’d left it!”
“We have used Cheryl over the years many times! Always feel so fortunate if she is avail to stay with our dog! Super trustworthy, communicates, walks our dog, takes good care of our house and our dog really likes her.:) Highly recommend!”
“Chase was amazing! You can tell right away that he has a way with animals and puts a lot of care into making sure that you and they are comfortable. He sent regular updates with cute videos and pictures so that we could see what everyone was up to. I could tell that Benny had such a great time with him. I can’t recommend Chase enough!”
“OUTSTANDING! If you want someone is caring, loving, responsible, trustworthy, and fun to watch over your pets & home….Crispin is the one! We 100% recommend choosing her to hire!”
“Aliyah was great with our dogs! She arrived on time and sent us lots of update and pictures. We were definitely reassured that our dogs were in good hands and had someone to keep them company.”
“Anny is the best! My dog Willie was so happy to see her when she came, I knew they would have a good time together! I trust her completely with both my apartment and my dog! I hope I can always use Anny to dog sit for Willie! ”
“I will be using Grace again! My dog is shy and tends to be depressed when I leave, as he’s a major Velcro boi. Grace was respectful of his space and had a good handle on his insecurities. She only stayed with him for 24 hrs but was on top of communication and his activities. Can’t wait for them to build their bond!”
“Jenna was so incredibly reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. She really took the time to understand Butter’s needs, and took care to articulate to me what her plans were to make sure I was comfortable with it. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is more than just a dog sitter- she is someone that takes time to understand the needs of the dog and make sure they have a spectacular time together.”
“We went away to visit our daughter. There are only 2 people we trust our dogs with when we are away. Dario is one of them. Thanks for caring for our fur babies as if they are your own! Archie and Lennon love Dario!”
About: I’ve had my own animals at home and have helped take care of mainly dogs and cats over the years. Animals are so precious to me and caring for them in the right way and getting them what they need is most important to me! I’m currently on summer break but will be starting college in the fall. I have a fully open schedule as of now and when I start school that will become particle. Mornings and evenings would more likely work best for me in the fall but I am very flexible and would love to work with families to figure out a schedule that works. I always keep a close watch on the animals I’m sitting and make them feel as comfortable as I can. Most pets can be anxious away from families so I try my best to company animals and keep them in safe areas that they can play, relax, and enjoy their time!
“Mariah was an excellent pet sitter for our senior cat, Bobby. She was incredibly communicative and gave me frequent and helpful updates and photos (which I asked for and really appreciated while traveling). She helped troubleshoot some of our cat's issues (he is a senior cat so these happen), was observant/responsive, and I had full confidence that our cat was in good hands. Our cat warmed up to her right away (she gave him treats to coax him out from under the bed), which is not typical for most pet sitters or guests that come to our house. She was very helpful by checking our email and taking out our trash as well. I look forward to working with Mariah in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats ever since I was about 10 years old. I have fostered kittens for years, bringing them back to the Humane Society for adoption. I have also had the opportunity to have other pets of all kinds; Guinea pigs, rabbits, puppies, and cats. I have cared for a little bit of everything! I love them all! I currently work a regular 9-5. So, I would be ideal for early morning and late night care, or anytime during the weekends! But, I am also able to pet sit, if needed! I always care for pets and their homes, in the same way that I would care for my own. I am patient, kind, and loving with pets, and I am respectful and cautious when caring for pets in their owners homes. Overall, I am gentle and thoughtful!
“Bre is awesome! Very professional, prompt and most importantly Rocky loves her! She always sends a fun picture of her and Rocky out and about on an adventure during her stay. Thank you Bre! Highly recommend!”
“We booked Caitlin last minute for the weekend and she was AMAZING! We have a dog who really does not like strangers and she made him feel instantly comfortable. We got lots of photos over the weekend of our pups and when we came back the house was actually in better shape than when we left it! She truly went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and for our home. Will 100% book again.”
