1. Danni C.

“Danni was so amazing to both of my boys! She constantly gave me updates and sent pictures. I really appreciated that she was quick to reach out if she was uncertain about anything! I will definitely be using her again!”


2. Felicia C.

“Felicia was great with our Nellie, efficient and a great companion/ company for her. it’s so nice to be able to go out of town and not have to worry about Nellie and her anxiety about separation. We will use her again”


3. Rhonda P.

“Rhonda is the best! She came for a 5 night stay at my home with my 2 dogs (a Rottweiler and Boston Terrier) and my cat (5 month old kitten). Not only did she care for my babies (who were absolutely in love with her the moment they met her), but also took great care of my home. I had no worries during my time away. I will 100% rebook with her again.”


4. Melanie S.

“Melanie took such good care of my 3 large puppies. It was so nice to not have to worry while I was away. Two require medication and she didn't fail to administer it. One is a rambunctious puppy (80 lbs) who adored Melanie. I highly recommend Melanie, and she will absolutely be my go-to when ever I need someone to take care of my pups in their (the pups) own home. It is less disruptive for them.”


5. Michelle W.

“Michelle is awesome! I use her every time I leave town and my pup loves her. She listens to all directions, keeps in touch, and is flexible. Plus she never leaves a mess behind. What more could you ask for! Thanks so much Michelle!”


6. Tosha M.
“Tosha is the best dog sitter for our family. She’s very attentive and follows all instructions for our older senior dogs! She’s trustworthy and communicated updates daily about our dogs! We will use Tosha again for our dog sitting needs in the near future!!”


7. Brooke M.

“Brooke was fantastic to work with and did a great job taking care of Scarlett while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures letting us know our Lil Miss was doing just fine. She ran the vacuum and left the kitchen spotless. We will definitely use her again.”


8. Allison L.

“Allison was fabulous with our dog, Chewy, while we were away on vacation for a week! She sent regular updates and pictures, and was completely dependable while caring for our fur baby so my mind was totally at ease while we were gone. This was the 2nd time we used her pet sitting services and plan to again in the future. She’s great!”


9. Amber W.
“Amber has been around dogs her whole life. She currently has 6 of her own, and has two that have special needs. She is aware of dogs social cues, needs, and provides a safe atmosphere for them. She has dealt with many different sizes, breeds, and temperaments.”


10. Ollie T.
About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and I have been successfully petsitting & dog walking off-and-on for the past few years! I work as a librarian most days, so I love to fill my freetime with taking care of animals and other hobbies! I appreciate every moment I get with an animal. I always keep an eye on the pets to ensure their safety and never push the pet out of their comfort zone. The safety of your pets is my top priority.


11. Andrew C.

“Andrew did a great job. He communicated very well and let us know what was going on with a lot of pics and videos. It was nice to not be stressed and worry about home. He went above and beyond and made sure everything was taken care off and even helped with house chores! Very grateful to find a great sitter!”

“Kaity was great!! My dogs loved her, she sent pics everyday and the house was completely clean when we got back. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!!”


13. Rick V.

“Cooper had a great time staying with Rick. He was so well cared for…. And loved! They treated Cooper like he was their own. Rick sent me daily pictures of Cooper and what he was doing. I really appreciated that. It couldn’t have worked out better finding Rick. It was a great experience, I highly recommend Rick. Thanks again Rick!”


14. Kamela S.

“Definitely went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and got lots of exercise! I loved all the updates, pictures, and videos so I could see how he was doing while I was away.”


15. Jacob D.
About: Since the age of 10 I have been included in taking care of family dogs and have taken care of my pups since I was 14 I currently work a very spontaneous job and have lots of time off. I’m available to play with your pups in the evening times and I’m available for house sitting on the weekends I’ll be there to keep your pups company, playing, cuddling, whatever may entail. Whatever may be asked of me, and if there are and special accommodations necessary for the pups!


16. Alyssa M.

“Alyssa was fantastic and Wesson (our Great Dane) enjoyed her company. I would highly recommend Alyssa.”


17. Lindsey C.

“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of the state for a trip. She was very attentive and you could tell that she really cared. She sent me photos everyday and took extra, special care of my medically fragile kitty. She is super responsive in regards to communication. I never had to wait long for her to write me back. She definitely made our trip as stress free as possible. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


18. Juliana G.
“Juliana is a responsible, compassionate & fun animal caregiver! She has picked up and reunited so many lost dogs with their owners. She has 2 dogs of her own and apart from walking them, she also teaches them tricks and makes ice treats for them when it's hot. She is so playful and affectionate. She will spend time playing tug of war or ball as well as rub their tummy's or scratch under their chin! She will make your dog feel loved and accompanied when you can't be there. She is a perfect combo of fun & discipline. Give her a chance. Your dog will love her and will be in good hands!”


19. Regina P.

“Regina did a great job taking care of my dog in my home. She responded to messages quickly and kept me updated on how it was going.”


20. Dawn & Gregory W.

“Dawn is a wonderful dog and cat mom. She treats her girls like they are human family. When she takes care of our dog, she sends regular pictures and stays in communication about what snacks my dogs can or cannot eat. She is great about taking the dogs on walks or hikes (if they enjoy that). You should definitely hire her! AP”
