“My animals were so comfortable and happy with Morgan! I have a completely blind dog and two needy cats and they were well taken care of. Morgan was responsive, sent pictures multiple times without me asking, and helped me with an additional stop after my flight was delayed.”

“Katelyn was awesome! She took excellent care of my two dogs and my home. She sent photos and video of my pups multiple times a day, kept me informed, and even dealt with arriving packages, watering my plants, and other various tasks. Upon returning home, I found happy, healthy dogs and my house spotless and clean. I would most definitely book Katelyn again in the future!”

“Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”

About: My family has always had pets and I’ve watch friends and family’s pets while they have been away many times. I love going on walks with pets and getting to know their personalities. My weekends are free all day and available, I am happy to do overnight care for dog and cats. I am currently able to do anytime through Monday-Friday. I have always valued patience and gentleness with pets. I always want to make sure I do my job the way you want me to and I will communicate if there are any problems that come up.
“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”

“Joshua agreed to watch our dogs on a last minute booking for our 9 day trip. He came over to meet the boys and get some verbal instructions on caring for them. He sent photos throughout his visit and had great communication with us. He brought in any mail or packages, and even washed his towels and sheets on his last night. Can’t recommend him enough and we will definitely rebook with him in the future.”

“Grace is wonderful! She is kind, considerate, and did such a great job with our cat. She stayed a week in our home and treated it as her own, accepting packages, keeping things clean, sending us pictures, and letting us know about her days while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!”
