“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!”
“Anthony and Mackenzie took great care of our three dogs. Pictures and videos daily. It was nice to know they were in Great care. We were able to enjoy our time away.”
“Allison is a great sitter for my dog Maisie. Very communicative during her time here and leaves my home in much better shape than when I left. Definitely a keeper!”
“Our two boys love Angie! She’s very attentive, and treats our boys like her own. Love the pics and updates she sends throughout the day! She’s very flexible and we highly recommend her. Will definitely continue booking with Angie!!”
“Ashlee did a wonderful job housesitting for our 3 dogs! She was considerate of their routine and respectful of our home. She sent regular updates with pictures or videos and communicated her arrival and departure. All in all a wonderful experience working with her!”
“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.”
“I left my dog for the first time ever and I was nervous. Nancy put me at ease sending me videos and reassuring me the dog was fine. Nancy was really good with my dog and allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She is dependable and reliable. I highly recommend her.”
“Kendra stayed with our two dogs for a weekend, and is so wonderful! I am typically a worry wart, but she made everything so easy and took great care of our boys! We will definitely book her again ??☺️”
“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!”
“Ian watched our two dogs for several days. They were well taken care of and all of our directions were followed. We received picture updates and Ian responded to any messages sent.”
“Kayla helped me out BIG time during a crazy month of travel. She has taken amazing care of Beau and Harley each time she has had them under her care. I know they are being loved and the communication is wonderful and appreciated.”
“Brian is a great sitter! He walked my dog twice a day and sent me texts with pictures regularly. Brian also left my house in as good a shape as he found it! I highly recommend Brian as he very professional and a good communicator.”
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!”
“Lauren was great. Very receptive to what we needed, and took good care of our pets. She communicated very well through the whole process. We would absolutely hire her again.”
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!
“Abby was wonderful and very communicative. She made sure to send lots of pictures and some videos which brought me so much joy! Abby took great care of all 6 of our babies, you won't be disappointed with her service!”
“The first time we've had someone stay in our home with our very spoiled dog. 😊 Jodie and her girls were wonderful making both us and our dog feel so comfortable and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Have already booked the next one with her!”
