Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!

I was so nervous to use a perfect stranger to watch my fur babies but Rachael and Logan came for a meet and greet. They instantly made us feel so comfortable. The 1st drop by visit went great and I loved all the pictures of their time together. It was awesome and it was super clear that our babies were having a great time. They are awesome

Katie is so good to our River! She goes above and beyond during her visits. I feel so much better about leaving River while we're at work since their visits together started. Highly recommend Katie!

Christine did a great job taking care of my two dogs. I had some late days that kept me away from home and Christine did drop in visits each day. She was a life saver and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be using her again.

I cannot say enough good things about Mo! He is literally a godsend. He is so great with my dogs . My dogs get more excited to see him than me . I have been in so many instances where for one reason or another I could not make it in time to walk my dogs . And he has always come through. Whoever has dogs knows how important it is for you to be able to trust the person who will be taking care or walking your dogs . Ever since I found Mo, I have already been on two vacations because I feel very comfortable with him house sitting my dogs. Before I would always be hesitant and trying to rely on family that most of the time would not come through. He has even showered my dogs because they are so much more chill with him than me ! He is awesome!

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

Sarah did a great job with our two cats - Bonnie & Clyde while we were away on vacation. We received daily updates from her about our babies and her communication with me while we were gone was excellent!! We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future. Thank you 😊

About: Sometimes I feel like I am an animals whisperer 🤣 I’ve never had a bad experience with an animal. I do understand it is possible but nothing can change my mind about animals. I took vet assisting in highschool as a trade. I have 3 dogs of my own. We’ve had a littler a few year ago. I can confidently say I am well versed in the everyday dogs and cats but also snakes, hamsters and so on. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re in need of a service last minute. I work overnight so I am always willing to help during the day. 6am -8pm Looking to help within the community and have a little fun while doing so. I have a passion for animals and children. Feel free to contact me ! I vow to uphold the most respect toward your home and pets. I’ll love them as my own so you don’t have to worry while you are away. I understand it is hard to leave your babies as I never leave mine. I am trust worthy and reliable !

When I needed someone to look after my two aggressive Rottweilers while I was out of town, Frank came to the rescue. Despite not having a chance to meet beforehand, Frank agreed to drop in, demonstrating his professionalism and flexibility. From the moment Frank stepped into my home, his professionalism and confidence put me at ease. He provided regular updates, ensuring my Rottweilers were safe and happy. Despite the challenges of handling aggressive breeds, Frank handled them with care and expertise. I'm incredibly grateful for Frank’s dedication, flexibility, and peace of mind he provided. His willingness to go above and beyond, even without a formal introduction, speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients and their pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Frank for anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their furry companions.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, and have the most experience with large breed dogs and cats. I've been fostering with my mom since I was 12, and I love spending time with fuzzy friends! I am currently unemployed and have as much time to care for pets. This may change, though, so I will always stay updated as soon as possible! I take care of animals inside of a clients home, and care for them as their owners would throughout the day, keeping the pets' routine as regular as possible.

About: My previous dog was a therapy dog who loved being around people. He was the best, most well-trained dog and we miss him every day. I currently have been working part-time and would LOVE to have a furry friend to check on in the early mornings or after 5pm ish. I would love the love! I love to walk and will make sure I clean up and not mess up any home or area I am in. I am a responsible, ethical, woman who (with my husband) is not home a lot. We do not think this would be fair to a dog.
