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.

9. Cassandra T.
“Cassandra pet sat my German Shepherd for me. He loved her. She would take him to the dog park daily at my apt complex for me and by the time I came home from work he was exhausted. I’m sad she moved away and he definitely misses her. Anyone would be lucky to have Cassandra watch their fur babies. She communicated and would send me pics and it helped me with missing him through out the day. I highly recommend she’s lovely and will love your pets like they are her own.”

14. 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.”

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.”
18. 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.”

“Sarah is a loving person and pet caregiver. She gives our dogs the attention they need, follows established routines and is sure to report on how they are doing and any special needs that may arise. She’s responsible and considerate!”
