Claudia was great with Willow! She’s patient with Willow’s very excited greeting, but does a good job at calming her right down. She spends time with her both in the house and in the backyard. She is prompt and reliable.

Great experience with Jill, it was my first time hiring a dog sitter and my dog was not friendly with strangers. I was at ease after Jill came over and befriend him and was able to enjoy vacation knowing he was well taken care of.

Wendy and AJ are wonderful with our fur babies and we felt at ease with leaving the babies in their care. Wendy was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures. She was very accommodating to our crazy last minute changes due to the snow/weather that caused some delays and cancellations with our trip. We will for sure use them time and time again and I highly recommend them!

We can’t say enough! Jasmine is so perfect! She took care of our dogs very well, and I heard no complains from the dogs when we got home 😍 I had special instructions on the notes because my senior dogs have special needs and she took care of them very well. Our house is even cleaner than it usually is! 😁 We all love her and we will definitely book her again. We are just so happy that we are worry-free when Jasmine is around while we were on our 5 day trip! ☺️

I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!

About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.

We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.

Nicole is THE best dog sitter. She came to our house and met our dogs. One of our dogs is an abused foster which we adopted. She loved Nicole that first day which has never happened even when my sons come to visit. She sent us photos and she was able to handle our young dog. The best part is now we have a trusted sitter we can start going out of town. I’d recommend Nicole to anyone❤️

Patrick is an excellent reliable young man with a unique ability to connect with dogs. I have 2 three year old puppies (a Coton. Mimi, and a Shi-poo, Kylo). Kylo has an issue initially meeting people - barking a lot. Patrick has an immediate soothing efffect and Kylo goes up to him wagging his tail and looking for pets. I recommend Patrick for the care of your pets and home.

We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet lover with 9 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my female Pit Bull Terrier from the time she was just 2 months old and cared for her throughout every stage of her life. During that time, I provided daily care, companionship, and basic training, teaching her commands such as sit, shake, lay down, high five, and dance. I recently lost her, which has only strengthened my love and respect for animals. I would be honored to provide attentive, patient, and loving care while helping train and enrich your pet’s daily routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work nights, which gives me full availability during the day to provide attentive pet sitting in my home or yours. I truly enjoy starting my mornings and afternoons with walks or jogs, making it easy for me to give pets consistent exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet would receive plenty of attention, activity, and a calm, structured daytime routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a secure cement backyard and a pool that is closely monitored to ensure a safe environment at all times. I also live extremely close to a park with a large open field, perfect for supervised walks, exercise, and play. Inside, my home is spacious and pet-friendly, allowing pets to freely roam, relax, and feel comfortable in a safe, trusted environment that makes them feel at home!

While we were a bit apprehensive about leaving Maia for a week (she has rarely been away from us), we left with the fullest confidence that Maia and Itty Bitty would be in great hands. Maia loves Haley, which also made us feel good. Haley sent us photos every day, and shared things that Maia would do. Haley was very flexible on our return time, since our flights home kept getting delayed. When we arrived home, we were welcomed to a sparkling home, and a happy pup! I would have absolutely no worries about leaving Maia if we were to need Haley in the future.

AJ took amazing care of our home and dogs while we were away for our wedding. Prior to watching our dogs they came over twice to meet the dogs and know the home which made us feel great. He gave updates when needed but allowed us to fully enjoy our day with no worries. Highly recommend them for your dog and home sitting needs!

Jill came over on a last minute request as our usual dog hotel was booked for the weekend. As a former pre-vet person myself, I was impressed she was a former vet. She took good care of our high-anxiety Jack Russell while we were away, sent updates, and even brought in my deliveries. We will definitely ask for her help in the future!
