Amanda did a fantastic job with Duke. She was attentive, punctual, and communicative. We met beforehand, making sure it was a good fit for both of us. She and Duke hit it off right away during her initial meet up and each time she stopped by. My carbon monoxide detector started beeping during one of her visits and she called me immediately to let me know what was going on and get my input on what to do. I would absolutely rebook her again.

Nikki was a wonderful sitter for my two cats while I was away on a long vacation! Our social kitty loved her company and Nikki was patient and respectful with trying to win over our shy kitty. Nikki also sent great updates and photos to keep me in the loop while away. Would definitely book her as a sitter again!

Came home to happy pups, not frantic or nervous. Brent obviously followed my instruction/requests to the letter. Note that one of my dogs was only 3 mos. old and needed specific on time breaks and play. Would feel absolutely confident having Brent back again!

I have used Angela several times so far for drop-in visits for my two pups. She has been very responsible, showing up on time, taking pics, keeping me posted of her arrival and departure times. It’s great to have someone you can count on. I highly recommend Angela for these reasons.

Shannon has continued to work well with our dog, her updates and thoughtful notes are wonderful to get. When scheduling issues arise, she has been upfront and prompt in contacting both me and my partner to notify us. She continues to be professional in her walks in terms of length of time & distance and provides awesome photos at the end of each walk. We thank you for all your hard work, she is a great fit for our pet.

Madison took excellent care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is not always friendly, but he seemed to love Madison, who played with him in addition to feeding him and cleaning up after him. Would certainly hire Madison again.

Jennifer took great care of our three kitties, and went above and beyond when it came to our senior diabetic cat having a litterbox issue. She provided us with photos and written updates for each visit. During our whole trip I never doubted that they were in good hands. We came back to happy, healthy cats!

Alex was absolutely great! She took great care of our cat when we were away. Camden takes awhile to warm up to people, and Alex was great and patient and we came home to a very happy kitty. Alex also helped take our trash cans up and down when we were gone, which was super helpful. Her daily updates about Camden and pictures were detailed and appreciated! We would definitely hire her again to help out with Camden.

About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 3 days remote at home and 2 days in the office. I'll have plenty of time to be there for your fur baby. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.

About: I have a lifelong passion for pets, having grown up with both dogs and cats. I treat every pet with the same love and care that I give my own children. I usually understand what a pet wants, whether it's a walk, playtime, or just a bit of affection. I have also currently been an overnight dogsitter past few years for same customer! I'm currently a college student, I have a flexible schedule so I can also work around the schedule you will need. I try to work my best and I tend to match the requirements. I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each pet's needs. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure a safe, comfortable environment, maintaining routines for feeding, exercise, and play. I have lifelong experience with pets, offering specialized care for puppies (potty and walking training) and senior pets (gentle, attentive care).

16 years of experience

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I just recently lost my dog of 16 year. During that time, my responsibility included taking her on daily walks, medicine administration, and lots of play time. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and all ages. Because of my experience, I understand how important it is to be genuine in your care. I work full-time during the week, but my weekends are all about spending time with dogs and giving back to this amazing community that has been so welcoming to me. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a cozy weekend companion, I’m here to help! I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and fun while you're away. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that they need a partner and a lot of patience. Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, a long walk, or just some quiet company. Always being around dogs in my home as well as my friends homes, a routine, gentleness, and patience is what dogs respond to the best.

This is the first time we had her to help us while we were away. After we found out our regular sitter couldn’t help us, I reached out to her. She was very responsive and friendly prior to meeting her in person. She kept our pets happy while we were away. The house was cleaned. The trash and recycle bins were taken care of. Mails were on the table. We were happy to have her taking care of our pets. We will definitely have her again in the future.
