Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!

Gemma took great care of both of our large dogs. She stayed at our house for two nights, played with the pups until they were wore out and gave us frequent pupdates. She also cares for other animals as she took care of our conure. She left the house spotless and was very pleasant to deal with.

About: I’ve always watched my dogs as I was home and my parents would work all the time, I’m 21 now and watch my roomates cats/others animals all the time when they are away. I don’t currently work I’m just trying to save money as I’m currently in my last semester of college this summer. Therefore I’m pretty free and would like recurring clients! I don’t take pets into my own home however if I care for them at yours/take them on walks I’ll care for them overly and give them lots of attention and protection.

Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

Abe was great with our dog Alfie, we were searching the day before our trip because our sitter cancelled, and Abe responded quickly and showed up the next day! He hired him for a week and each day he was responsive (gave us updates and photos of Alfie) and gave our dog fun things to do. He even taught our highs-energy dog commands! Would recommend Abe for watching your dog.

There isn’t enough great things to say. I was very skeptical about having someone in the home to care for the animals. But it was such a great experience. Savannah has phenomenal communication, I came home to a cleaner house, the animals were all so good, and I could trust her so easily. We will absolutely be using her again.

Katelyn sent pictures throughout the week of our animals. When we returned the house was clean and orderly, and our pets were very well cared for. I left some extra cash for her and asked for a few extra things which were all done also, getting mail, bringing a package in, and watering my potted plants. Would definitely use her in the future.

Kyleen is the best! We only ever pick her to watch our Sadie girl because of her attention to detail, snuggles, kindness, and her going above and beyond. You can depend on Kyleen!
