1. Cheryl M.


“Cheryl is the best ever. She looked after my four kitties like they were her own. She will be my go to from now on. I've never used anyone before. My family has always looked after them for me. Now I'll get Cheryl to come. I did not feel anxious about them the whole time I was gone. I would recommend her to look after anyone's fur babies.????”


2. Amber B.

“Amber has been super helpful with my baby Binx! Literal lifesaver! And I know Binx appreciates you too, Amber! Thanks for checking in on my little one while I’m at work!”


3. Janine D.

“We are very happy to have found Janine. She clearly loves animals and my dogs took to her right away. We will definitely continue to contact her to look in on our babies when we are away from home!”


4. Judy W.

“You will not find a better petsitter than Judy. My animals were in such capable, caring hands with her. It is the best trip away we have ever had because we did not have to worry about their care at all! Judy is a real natural with animals, and even our more shy cats were happy to see her by the end of the week! I cannot recommend her highly enough and we will be sure to check her calendar before our next trip away!!”


5. Haley C.

“Communicative, sweet and great to work with!”


6. Abigail M.

“Abigail was great! My baby was shy, but she made sure he had food and a clean litter box daily. She also gave updates that let me know although he hid he was eating, playing and using the potty while she was away. She even grabbed my mail which I appreciate.”


7. Olivia E.

“Olivia responded within minutes of my request and was able to watch my two dogs the next night! She answered all of my questions and was very sweet!”




8. Allyson M.

“Allyson is the best, most thoughtful dog sitter ever. I know we all hate to leave our fur babies but I never worry because I know without a doubt my dog loves her because she goes out of her way to actually spend quality time with her when I am away.”


9. Jordan B.
About: While bathing your pup may not be mine nor your fur baby’s favorite, I know that being their temporary “human” with be of utmost importance to you while you are away. While my own fur baby has developed some separation anxiety, I have become much more sensitive to the importance of routine and care in our fur baby’s lives. As I would want someone to treat my pup, I plan to treat your fur family just as such. While I work during the week, my time does open up on the weekends and my time is much more flexible then. I am in education, and if any of you may know, or weekday routines can be busy. Therefore, caring for pups on the weekend would work best. We have crates, if needed, and live off the beaten path to avoid many encounters with vehicles. Farm land surrounds us with many fritters to watch for entertainment.


10. Aisha A.

“Aisha was friendly, prompt and communicated throughout the experience! She was lovely to deal with and great with our pet ! Can’t wait to use her services again !”


11. Topanga P.
“Topanga is excellent with pets! She just has this way with animals that puts them at ease and want to play! My cat has never liked someone sooo much (including me lol). Her own dog Nova is treated extremely well and is spoiled (as she should) and she doesn’t take any chances when it comes to her dog’s health!”


12. Brittany P.

“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my senior cat, James. She was very patient with him and responded quickly to any of my requests. She also sent lots of pictures and cute comments.”

14. Sadie O.

About: Hi, my name is Sadie Outhouse! We have one dog (Sosa) he has been with us since he was 6 weeks old and is up to date on his shots. He is not nurtured, so unfortunately we are not able to accept females in heat. Sosa gets along with most animals. We also have a pet tortoise that hangs out with us:) I do not have any certification but will ensure that your pet is in safe hands. I would love to hear from you! Feel free contact me to schedule a meet and greet to see if we are a good match to you anytime! I work remote so I am home all day. Our dog gets walked 3 times a day. So have separate rooms that are not used through the day. We have a large living room with plenty of space for a crate indoors. Chainlink fence runs along to back yard. Not a full enclosed fence.


15. Isabel W.

“Isabel took such good care of our two cats and they just adore her. Her communication and response to us was very punctual and every detail we asked was taken care of. I highly recommend Isabel for your pet care needs.”


16. Jaden T.

“Jaden was amazing--she took wonderful care of TJ, sent lovely photos, and even figured out a way to slightly modify his food so he likes it more! I recommend Jaden without reservation!”


17. Connor M.
“Connor has been watching my cats for 2+ years and I have nothing but positive things to say about the care she gives my girls. Her genuine love for animals shows through her actions with my babies. She always sends me pictures, makes sure she keeps me updated throughout our time away, and genuinely enjoys spending quality time with them. I fully trust her to watch my kitties and it’s an extra bonus that she’s willing to stay at our house with our girls. I can’t recommend her enough if you want to know your fur babies are taken care of while you are away!”


18. Allison & Tyler E.

“Allison & Tyler were great. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. We forgot to leave out the dogs food and Allison called to check and see if perhaps the dogs were already fed or if she should feed them, thanks so much for double checking with us. I will defiantly consider using Allison and Tyler again for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for caring about our dogs like they were your own.”


19. Kirsten P.

“Wonderful and EASY!!!! My dog LOVED his vacay with Kirsten— evident in every picture she sent home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would recommend!”


20. Kassie K.
About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.
