“Gabrielle responded immediately when I sent a booking request despite it being very last minute. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending me many pictures and videos. Will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
“Allyson was GREAT! my first time leaving my babies alone with someone that wasn’t family. she sent pictures everyday. took them on walks that were time appropriate to the heat or walked them at night. She gave one of my dogs a calming treat when it was stormy weather because he’s storm scared. she provided all of us with the comfort of great care!”
“Taylor did a great job making sure Whiskey and Peter were happy and well taken care of while I was out of state getting married. I was a little nervous leaving them but Taylor really eased my worries, especially with the pictures she took of them! 10/10 would recommend Taylor to anyome!”
About: I was born and raised in Germany where it is considered animal cruelty not to walk you dog 3 times a day. So walking your dog no matter rain or shine will never be an inconvenience to me! I got my first dog at 10, he lived until 17! I have a 5 year old Great Pyrenees, a hedgehog and a Bearded Dragon. I love dogs (or any kind of pet), always have! My dog belongs to my family and I treat him like that. My 11 year old son calls our dog his brother. I would love to welcome your dogs(s) into my home so you don't have to worry about them! We will take care of your fur baby like it's our own.
About: I’ve been taking care of different pets since the age of 11. I have been trusted by more than 10 different families to take care of their pets. I am currently doing online school so I have plenty of free time to take care of everyone’s lovely pets during any weekday and any weekend. I have 1 fur baby. She often loves playing outside for hours on end. I have plenty of toys, plenty of fence for her to run around, and a wonderful environment for her.
“Ali was an excellent pet sitter. Pictures everyday, and my pet was very comfortable with her. Very responsible and took care of everything. Took notes on first meeting showing conscientiousness to remember everything. Will use again.”
“Rebecca was absolutely incredible with our 2 cats while we were out of town. One of our cats is an outgoing troublemaker and the other one is extremely shy around strangers. She handled them both with loving care and even got the shy cat out and seeking attention from her after just a few days. No one has ever been able to do that before. We received regular photo updates and I was certain that our cats were in good hands the whole time.”

About: The last 20 years I haven’t gone without a dog or cat in my home. I wouldn’t imagine one without! I have my babygirl German named Maggie and my old man kitty named Frank! These 2 are my world. I am always a go-to for friends and family when they need a quick drop in to be fed or walked or a sleepover for a few days! Whether your pet wants a day filled with frisbee and pool time or snuggles on the couch I’m your gal! Part time student and part time working! I have a good amount of free time throughout the day due to my very flexible online school schedule and work schedule. I live around 2-3 large parks with trails and plenty of wide open space for walks and playtime. Whether your pet wants more playtime with toys inside and outside or just cuddles on the couch I am beyond ready for either one.
“Excellent for a difficult situation with two cats that have only been cared for by two people the last 10 years. One cat that hid on every visit. She was still able to keep both of them fed and looking great on my return.”
“Chen has been wonderful. I was anxious about being away from my cats when I was on my trip, but she was very communicative and understood all of our instructions. She has made sure to not only feed our cats but also make them as happy as they can be and that just shows how much she cares! We appreciate everything and would definitely book again. Thank you Chen and we loved the pictures! 🐱”

“Terrific care and communication!”
Jacob C.
“I can't say enough about Jacob's affinity for animals. I have seen him train cockatiels to hang upside down and lay on their backs in his hands. Trust me when I say that is not typical cockatiel behavior. I can tell you that my 6 year-old Newfoundland adores him and behaves better for him than for me. I waited over 25 years to be able to have a Newfie and Jacob is one of the few people I would entrust him to without question. I believe you will have a positive experience with Jacob - and your pet will, too.”
Colleen M.
“Colleen was very attentive and wanted to connect with Anon during her time watching him. Very responsive to questions and overall will definitely use on any future trips!”
