Vicki was an incredible house sitter for our big, old dog and dramatic diva cat. She took great care of them, met and exceeded all expectations, and was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be looking to hire her again when the need arises.

Erika is wonderful with my dog. He has warmed up to her. Neighbors shared how much they walked and how calm he was with her. I recommend her but not on the days I'll need her in the future

Erika is a sweetheart! She did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She left my place cleaner than she found it and kept in communication to calm an anxious cat-mom's mind. Would recommend and plan on asking her again when the time comes.

Caroline stayed at our house four nights while we were away. She did an amazing job sending pictures and communicating with us while we were gone. Caroline was very attentive to our lab, Benny, and she respected our home. When we returned the house was spotless! Our dog has epilepsy, so it is very important to follow his normal routine. Caroline gave him his meds as instructed. My only recommendation would be to avoid over stimulation with the toys due to his condition. I highly recommend Caroline as a caregiver for pets. We will definitely contact her again for this service.

Gots lots of pictures of my boy and she was very upbeat about it all! I will most definitely try to use her again!!

Katy was a great caretaker of our corgi Hoagie while we were on vacation. She spent time ahead understanding our needs and expectations, asked perceptive questions, and showed real connection with Hoagie. It was such a relief to know Hoagie was having fun and being cared for so well, especially as we received updates along the way.

She is absolutely wonderful with my dog. He is an older large dog (about 70lbs and 10 years old. She is really good about giving him his medicine on time and even massages his leg that is bothering him from an old injury. She also adamant about giving him plenty of attention and play time. She really goes above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved by her which was incredible because he gets pretty weary of people. I look forward to hiring her again. She is the only person I trust with my dog.

Grace is a pro! From the start, we could tell Grace had her stuff together and was very experienced and professional. She was great with our crazy boxer puppy, and she gave him all the love and care we needed him to get while we were out for the weekend. We are already booking her up for future house sitting needs! Thank you again, Grace!

Stephanie took loving care of my beloved golden retriever! She was thorough in her preparation, communicative during the stay (including photos and updates), and quick to answer with any questions I had while I was away. I put full trust in Stephanie with my doggo, and she is my go-to for dog sitting!

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life; animals are the best companions. I’m a nurturer, I even trained my pet to be my mom’s emotional support animal throughout her six year battle against a rare brain disorder..Dogs bring joy to those with special needs.. I would go to great measure for any pet or human for that matter!!! i’m currently a 30 year veteran flight attendant with a lot of time on my hands.. so I’m very flexible and willing to work with your schedule! I personally have a 10 pound toy schnauzer, who is beyond friendly and loves to play with other dogs. We prefer dog walks and playing at the park again, I’m flexible in the needs of your pet.

Linda is as an exceptional pet caretaker. I have had the pleasure of observing her care for animals, and her dedication, patience, and genuine love, she's responsible in her day to day activities and she puts an extra effort when taking care of animals. Linda really cares about animals, whether it's providing regular feeding, ensuring they get enough exercise, or simply offering comfort and companionship. She makes an effort to make sure animals are healthy, and well-loved. I am confident that Linda would be an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and responsible pet caretaker. She has provided a lot of love and care whenever I needed her to look after my dog, I would not doubt for a second to have her take care of my dog (Pomchi). Sincerely, Alan

Marilyn is great! She is extremely dependable and I know the dogs are in good hands. When she had to leave the dogs alone for some longer work days she had her son Adam fill in and he did a great job too. We had a small home maintenance issue while we were gone and they were on top of it and took care of everything. Highly recommend!

Jacqueline took good care of my Jojo while I had to be on a work trip. She always communicated with me, sent pictures, and Jojo enjoyed being with her. Jojo is a reactive dog, and Jacqueline handled it well. I definitely recommend Jacqueline for dogwalking, sitting, etc!
