5. Mikaela M.

“Mikaela was amazing, she was very well informed about dogs and she was able to care for our pet in the best way possible - including walking her, playing with her and feeding her. We would definitely hire her again.”


6. Nicole W.

“Nicole was amazing and my dogs were so happy. She sent great pics all the time and they were off exploring all the time. Couldn’t be happier and I was never worried about how my dogs were doing. They will want me to go away more I’m thinking!”


7. Dontae O.
“My friend's pet care experience truly sets them apart as a great dog sitter. Their passion for animals and dedication to their well-being make them the perfect candidate to entrust with your furry family members. My friend's genuine love and affection for animals shine through in everything they do. Their caring nature and warm heart make pets feel right at home and loved. With years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to rabbits and reptiles, my friend has honed their skills in pet care, including feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Recognizing that every pet is unique, my friend provides personalized care. They take the time to learn about each pet's specific needs, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a comfortable and happy experience.”


8. Chloe C.

“Chloe took care of my three large, lively dogs for two nights. She also watered my garden and checked in on my chickens and geese. She was very responsive to texts and offered updates on my animals. Did a very job and I'd highly recommend.”


9. Megan L.
About: I have several families who regularly ask me to care for their beloved animals while they’re away. They appreciate it because I love animals, and it gives a peace of mind to know that they are well cared for. I’m currently a student at CWU and I am missing my own animals at home! I love all animals and love spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks or lounging giving lots of attention. I am willing to work with you on a system or schedule that will benefit you and your pet depending on what they need, whether it’s crating at night, or an evening walk to burn some energy.




10. Joseph S.

“Joseph was awesome! Took very good care of my puppy and tired her out so well with walks she slept in very late the next morning! Would definitely recommend.”


11. Nika S.

“Nika was amazing! She was great with all of our pets and they took to her quickly! She also sent photos and messages throughout her stay and was very responsive which allowed us to not stress over our pets while we were away. 10/10 would recommend!”




12. Miranda S.
“Miranda is one of those folks who gets dogs better than she gets people. The way she's able to assess how a dog or group of dogs feel, how they are behaving, and how they are likely to interact together in various circumstances is uncanny. From little dogs to Irish Wolf Hounds, she understands the psyche of breeds and anticipates their needs before most people are aware of them. I'd particularly recommend her for misunderstood breeds, and large dogs.”


13. Lou S.

“I was very happy and relieved to have Lou stay with my cat at my house for five nights. Lou has a thoughtful sunny personality that I immediately felt comfortable with. Will definitely be planning to have this lovely person part of my vacation sitting needs in the future!”


14. Nina S.

“Communicated, sent updates, was very good with my two pups. Definitely will ask for help from her again!”


15. Kay P.

“I NEVER leave my dogs with anybody, not even my own family or friends. Kay made my anxious dogs feel right at home and my reactive dog who doesn’t like anybody even lets Kay pet and love on her. Today was the first of many bookings we plan on using Kay for. We will be taking a 5 day vacation in May and I wouldn’t trust anybody to stay in home and love on my babies besides her. She’s a must book!!!! She listens well, pays attention to what your typical routine is with your pets, and makes them feel just as loved as you do all at the same time.”


16. Regan B.

“Regan watched our dog for the weekend. She was responsive and left the house in great condition. Our pup seems happy and well cared for. Would have her back!”


17. Katie T.
“Katie has watched our cats on multiple occasions while we were away. She was reliable and took great care of them. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


18. Daniel M.
“Danny has quite a bit of experience with pet sitting as well as training his own black lab and a rescue terrier/chihuahua. He has cared for other animals as well; chickens, cats, etc. Danny is very responsible and trust worthy and will treat your pets well. I would highly recommend Danny for pet sitting.”


19. Hailley G.

“Hailley watched our cat and dog for about 10 days. She communicated frequently with us during our trip and even sent photos. Our dog got a tummy bug and she went out to get chicken and made her rice and chicken. The animals seemed happy upon our return, the house and animals were clearly well taken care of.”


20. Jack B.
“My special needs Great Dane has fallen in love with Jack and so excited when he come to stay. Dog & house sitting excellence! Need reassurance, he sends photos & follows your specific directions well. We will definitely be using him often & feeling much less anxiety when I have to leave my baby.”
