We had Andrea come stay with our pets while we were out of town. She was incredibly conscientious and committed to providing the best care possible for “our girls”. She washed everything she used and left the house spotless. We highly recommend Andra!

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

Paul was a fantastic pet sitter for our family this past week while we were out of town. He gave our dog, cat, and fish more love and attention than they typically get with our busy schedules. Our dog has struggled with sleeping when being boarded and having her normal environment kept her very relaxed and happy. Paul sent photos everyday with updates to let us know their status. A small bonus was Paul kept an eye on the house and grabbed our mail and packages and kept them put of the weather. Paul was reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely be using him in the future!

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I’m passionate about providing outstanding care for your furry friends! I am reliable, have excellent communication skills, deep sense of responsibility and I’m here to ensure you that your furry friend receives the best care and attention they deserve! I am 30 years old and have owned some sort of pet (dogs, cats, guenia pigs, hermit crabs, hedgehogs and much more) my entire life. I am very comfortable around all animals (breeds and sizes). I can assure you your pet(s) will be treated as if they were my own. I believe in open and honest communication, so you’ll receive updates on your pet while you are gone or for when I pop in to take them for a walk or break. Whether that’s informing you of giving medications, exercise or play time. I’m committed to maintaining their (and your) routines and keeping everyone happy. I am currently working full time but have a rotating schedule each week. Most weeks I have two days off plus the weekends. On my days off I will have plenty of time to tend to your furry friends needs, take them for a walk (or walks) and make sure they get plenty of attention, care and love. I will have time to spend at your home with your furry friend to make sure they are getting the care and love they need while you are away. I love to go on walks and can take your furry friend for a short or long walk or multiple walks a day. I also have a small dog (toy/mini Aussie) that can come play.

Rose was a wonderful house/dog sitter while we were away! She was very responsive with our questions and sent daily pictures and videos of the pups. We could tell they were comfortable with her as they were acting like their usual goofy selves in the videos. She did an excellent job of keeping the house tidy, bringing in our mail and we especially appreciated that she brought in all our packages as we are getting married in a month and have wedding gifts delivered almost daily. We will certainly be hiring Rose again and she made us feel very comfortable being with our dogs in our house. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of trustworthy, caring and reliable dog care!

About: I love animals and have been trusted by friends and neighbors to take care of their best friends while they are away. I have cared for and trained my own dog since he was 8 weeks old so I understand the puppy phase! I can do lunch time walks if you are close by! Otherwise, I am available weekdays before 6:30am or after 4pm. Anytime during the weekends works! I can also pop by before work (7:30 am) on weekdays with advance notice! I am happy to take your dog on a potty break or clean your cat’s litter box and will always make time for a play session before I go!
