Rick V.
“When I think of Rick, people, pets, and plants (gardening) come to mind. I entrust Rick to my 20-pound mini goldendoodle, 24/7, and I'm a fussbudget! I have a 2-hour commute (one-way) for my work, M-F, and I won't leave my dog unattended for hours on end. Rick displays "The Softer Side of Sears" when I say that he has a compassion and passion for people and pets. He reinforces training commands (to my already certified Therapy Dog) to keep my doodle accountable and enjoyable in public space. "The pride of ownership" is his mantra, as an avid gardener, dog trainer, neat freak (for lack of a better term) and all around nice guy.”

“Exceptional pet care! Our furry friends were so content and well-loved under Sarah’s watch. She cared for 2 dogs and multiple cats while we were gone multiple days! She was reliable and a great communicator. She gave them lots of love and affection in our absence, and did a great job at keeping them safe and secure! Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable and caring pet sitting services.”
Victoria K.
“Victoria is a wonderful pet sitter! Our dog loves her! She is reliable and makes our dog feel comfortable. She is dedicated to providing the best care possible as she always asks about any updates to feeding schedules, diet, and other specific needs our dog has. She has even gone above and beyond one time when our dog had stomach issues and made QUITE the mess. She washed him and even took care of the carpet. She is my go to anytime I need someone to take care of my dog.”
Medi G.
“For the entirety of time that I have known Medi, over 10 years of friendship, she has always had animals and their care on the forefront of her mind. She takes into account how pets are used to their routines and adapts her skillset to best take of them. This includes communicating throughly with owners to learn about their pets and getting to know the pet personally while she looks after them. Medi is always willing to go above and beyond for the animals that are placed in her care, as she cares for them as much as she cares for her own. I couldn't recommend Medi as a pet sitter enough for a pet owner!”
