We rarely leave our two chihuahuas home and so we were delighted to meet Emily and have her sit at the house for an entire week. Emily was responsible, very communicative, sweet to our girls and, above all, with them most of each day. We will definitely ask Emily to sit for our girls again! Annie + Craig

Mika (my cat) was well cared for while I was away for several days. Kris sent photos and it was clear that MIka was smitten. I think that Kris is her new favorite person. I appreciated the care that Kris provided Mika, as well as my home. It was great coming back to a happy cat and a clean house!

Mary was excellent with our puppy for a long evening! She arrived early, let our concerned pup warm up to her slowly, and kept him busy enough that he slept great that night! She clearly cares about our furry friends and I would definitely book again.

Katherine was a fabulous dog and house sitter! She arrived on time, she made sure to understand my puppy's routine and needs, and she sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My house was clean and my puppy loved her! I was able to completely relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew Katherine was taking care of Gigi. I will definitely hire again!

Sometimes my dogs see Marguerite around the neighborhood and they run up to her to say hi! They remember her and they love her. She sent me cute photos while I was away and she kept my place neat and tidy. She's a great sitter and I'd book her again because the dogs love her so much!

I could not have asked for a better sitter with Regan. She was so attentive to my baby and took him on all the adventures. I would say I can’t wait to book her again, but I already have two additional stays booked with her…..Otis and I could not be more excited. She sent photos galore that made me so happy. Otis was a tired pup when I arrived home so I knew he had the absolute best time.

Stephanie was truly amazing. She took care of my cat (toothless) and two rabbits (Rocky and Adrian). She did a wonderful job. It was nice knowing I had someone I could trust to take care of them while I was away.

About: I've been lucky enough to have been able to help my mom with her business raising and selling dogs. Meaning I've dealt with taking care of pregnant dogs, newborn puppies, sick dogs, and senior dogs. I've also taken care of many different kinds of animals from reptilian to aquatic. My current full time job assisted senior living. I don't have a set schedule, but instead shifts I can choose to pick up. Meaning with proper warning I can puzzle piece my day to make time for your sweet pet. No matter what your pet needs I'm sure I can accommodate them and give them the care they need. And I always have extra supplies if needed. (carrier, food, toys, collars, leashes, ect.)

Ava was wonderful with our Golden Retriever & she helped us out on short notice. She was very conscientious with keeping his regular routine & feeding schedule as well as playing with him. She made him her priority but was also respectful of our home. He was a calm, happy boy when we returned! We would recommend Ava very highly!!

Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. They have a special place in my heart looking to make more furry friends to en My name is Giovanna . I am currently in college so my schedule is very open throughout the week. I go to the gym often. I can always make arrangements. Make sure doors are open, always on a leash when being walked. If the client has a fenced in yard, let them run free but always keep an eye out.

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!

About: Trustworthy adult available to care for your pets in their home environment. I became a pet/house sitter when I started caring for my Mother In-law's cats when she traveled. I feed, water, scoop litter, water plants, etc. I have gained a reputation for being a reliable person to care for pets while traveling for my friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I am a very clean and organized person. I like to take notes and want to know best how you would like to have your home and furry family members cared for. I enjoy energetic dogs. Many years ago I had a very energetic Flat-Coated Retriever who was a busy boy. I can't have pets where I live, but enjoy spending time with pets very much. Please let me know if you think I'm a good fit. I work full-time. My hours fluctuate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I work from 7:30am- 4:00pm, and on Tuesday, Thursday I work 8:15am-4:45pm. I'm available before and after work, and on the weekends. I am unable to offer pet care in my own home. I am happy to care for pets in your home. I also feel that a pet that stays in their own home may be less stressed when their owner is gone.
