Haley recently came for two drop-in visits with our two dogs. She took such great care of them and was so thoughtful in her care and post-visit notes. One of our dogs is a funny little guy and Haley was accommodating for him which gave us such peace of mind. She is amazing!

Kelsey is a wonderful cat sitter! Took extra time to get the shy one to warm up to her, and gave them lots of love and attention. 100% recommend.

Renata was an unbelievable petsitter for our dog and cat! She got to know them so quickly, took outstanding care of them (I could see how happy they were with her in the pics and video she sent) and went above and beyond in every way possible, putting us at complete ease while we were away. I cannot recommend Renata highly enough, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have found her! We hope we never have to have anyone else care for our pets after such a great experience with Renata, she is simply THE BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, RENATA!!!

About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.

Jessica looked in on my dog Mona and walked her a few times a day while I was gone for a few days. Everything from the initial meeting, to taking care of my dog and sending updates and pictures, was handled easily and professionally. I would highly recommend Jessica, and would hire her again the next time Mona needs care!

About: I have taken care of other peoples pets since I was a kid. People would trust me to house/pet sit while they were away. I also love to love animals! I work per diem as an x-ray technologist and am looking to give my love to animals as well! I want to be able to have a pet of my own one day, but loving yours is just as special. I have an apartment with lots of places to go for walks! There is a ton of grass space as well as sidewalks to roam.

Quincy absolutely adores Alison. He arguably loves her more than me. Alison is fantastic with my dog and he can be a prickly little guy. I received so many great photos! It was super easy to talk to Alison and make adjustments to my reservation. I will certainly be rebooking with Alison.

From the moment I met Lee I knew that my dogs would be in good hands. He was sending me photos of my dogs every time he went to visit them so I wasn't worried about them at any time. When I returned from my vacation I found my home clean and my dogs well taken care of!! I will definitely hire Lee's services again.

Jaclyn was a great pet sitter for my 2 kitties who have not been alone for any longer than one day. She was great with them and tried to get the shy one to come out and play. Very reliable and more that happy to help make us feel confident that they are in good hands. Already have plans to have Jaclyn care for our kitties again this summer.

About: I am a huge animal person and have been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a 7 year old (30lb) dog that we rescued as a puppy. She is a sweet girl and is use to having a companion (since we also had a spaniel for 17 years that recently passed away) so she is comfortable with other dogs. We also foster puppies and have experience with many different breeds and personalities! While you're away, working, or just have other plans that can't include your pet, he or she is welcome to stay with us or I can come to you. Either way, I will strive to make your furry family member feel comfortable and cared for. During the day, your pet will get plenty of attention. I currently work from home full time, which allows more flexibility with outside breaks and neighborhood walks. While I work, I will be in the same room as your pet so they will never feel alone. As far as basic care and house rules go, their feeding schedule can be flexible and adjusted to match his/her schedule at home. They are allow to roam the main areas of our home and snuggle up on the couch as they wish!

About: I have been around all types of pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs from Newfoundland’s to chihuahuas. I’m great with pets and have been responsible for cleaning, feeding, walking, and playing with lots and lots of dogs. I am a big animal person and want to do something with it in the future. In my childhood I would go to my aunts house often to take care of her 5 Newfoundland’s and bulldog. I would take my sisters chihuahua to the mountains of Colorado. Every nearby neighborhood I grew up by as a child knew me for my exceptional dog care and would want me to walk and dog sit for them all the time. It comes natural for someone when it is what they really love to do. I am currently self employed so I can make time or move my schedule around to accommodate your pets schedule needs. Open availability for right now. I give my cat lots of love and affection. I also take care of proper feeding and cleaning. Lots of experience feeding and walking dogs as well.

Shannon took great care of our fur babies while we were away. Litter box was cleared and furballs picked up! Kitties were very happy to have her visits and give pets! Would absolutely use her service again! Great communication 👍🏽

We had a great experience with Julia. She was very accommodating and attentive to our dog. We could tell from the photographs that our dog felt comfortable with Julia. The dog seemed well cared for when we got home, and our house was just the way we left it. We would definitely work with Julia again knowing that we'll have peace of mind while the dog is at home.

Always a pleasure to return back from a trip when Melissa has been there. We were so tired coming back this time, and of course- as we enter our house- dog tv was playing peacefully, any accident areas cleaned up, and dog happily chewing bone on her bed.
