“Farrah was very punctual, and picked up on Kobe’s little routine right away. She has a vast knowledge of animals which shines thru. When I got home Kobe seemed very playful and happy, seems he had a good day.”
2. Kerstin T.
“Kerstin stayed at my house to babysit my dog over this past weekend. She was super easy to communicate with and sent tons of pics. We appreciated her help so much!”
3. Pedro Camillo C.
“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!”

7. Ollie B.
“Ollie went above and beyond to take care of our older dog Homer while we went on a 7 day cruise. Homer was having anxiety and didn't like to be left alone. Ollie adjusted her work schedule to be able to spend more time at home with him. Ollie also took fabulous care of our house and yard. My plants look amazing. Grateful to Ollie for giving Homer so much extra TLC would absolutely recommended Ollie to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

We are very grateful for his help and kindness, we can trust him with our dog, chickens and house anytime, highly recommend if anyone needs house sitting!”

I highly recommend Barbara to care for your pet when you are away. ?”

“I can't say enough about how wonderful Patty was when she stayed over and took care of our dog, Nora. She was very communicative and kept Nora happy with lots of walks and playtime.

I truly hope Patty's experience with Nora and our home was enjoyable because we'd love to have her back in the future.”

13. Chrislyn L.
About: I have taken care of pets (varieties of dogs, cats, and fish) for about 8 years. I am cautious of diets, schedules, exercise, & pet safety. I am currently a full-time student. I am available to stay at a pet’s home overnight during weekdays and then return after school around 4pm. I am available weekends. I do not care for pets at my home. At the client’s home, I will follow whatever guidelines and expectations they have set for their pet.
14. Joseph O.
“Joseph was phenomenal with our pups, he had our "difficult" pup in love with him in the first meeting. He gave frequent updates and even picked up the poop when we told him he didn't have to. The house was left immaculately. I strongly recommend him!!”
15. Jelena K.
“Rich is extraordinary. We came home to calm and happy dogs -- and more! Rich gave us a few training tips and even advised us about how to care for our tomato plants! Our condo was immaculate. Most important, of course, he took great care of our dogs, giving them lots of care, attention, and exercise. Beyond all that, he is simply a kind, responsible, easy-to-talk-to person. We're thrilled to have found him. ”
16. Wendy K. & AJ P.
“Our Princess is picky when it comes to people she's not familiar with. And we have tried a lot of different ways to board her when we are away. But she warmed up to Wendy & AJ quickly. t was great getting daily pictures and videos of how well she was doing. And they did a great job taking care of our home while we were away. It's a great feeling to be able to relax while on vacation knowing your dog is in good hands. We just hope they are available the next trip!”
