Terry stayed in our home with Rocky for almost two weeks and was extremely gracious when, due to travel complications , we arrived home at around 4AM! Our home and precious pooch were extremely well cared for. We highly recommend her!

I cannot thank Cayton enough for the vigilant and loving care she gave my pups. She very quickly learned what they loved and needed and provided it. I learned so much from her from afar via her frequent updates and photos - and never worried about them for one second. Thank you!

This was our first experience with Faith and we've already booked her again. She took care of our two cats and one dog, one cat being a senior and needing regular medicine and they were all well loved, we had picture updates, the house was clean and pets were happy. My only hesitation in writing is other people will see this review and steal her time! Haha. We are so grateful our fur babies and us have found Faith!

Briana came to meet my pets and was very conscientious about underpaying their routines, and the cat’s medications. I had to cancel my trip, but I would definitely ask her to petsit again!!

About: Lover of all things DOG! Handler/trainer in my profession and very passionate. I have 3 pitbulls at home that I have raised, loved and trained in temperament and manners. I will love your furry family members as I love my own. I can pet sit, pop-in, train, comfort and provide your pet care Monday - Sunday. I request 1 days’ notice for local cancellations, but 3 days notice for cancellations of services that would require travel. I ask that all of my clients give me clear and concise instructions regarding feedings, medicine and potty schedules as I would want your pet to feel as comfortable as they would be if you’d be home. Their comfort is my #1 priority.

Elizabeth is a fantastic sitter! I am very particular about my 3 dogs and Elizabeth was amazing at making me feel comfortable and up to date with how they were doing! I recieved photos and texts throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much! One if my puppies is very anxious, and he felt immediately at ease with her. We can now go on more vacations knowing the dogs are safe and comfortable!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was about eight. We have always had a minimum of four animals in the house, and I love having animals around. I love everyone’s animals as if they were my own but will carefully follow whatever rules you have for them! I currently work as a bartender/ bar manager so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and make sure they are getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love! While I am in a clients home I will take care of them in whatever way is required. Doors shut? certain rooms off limits to animals? No problem! Want your puppy in a cage when I am out? Also not an issue. I will keep your home clean and tidy up before you return!

Andrea has cared for my dogs and cats numerous times and each time I feel confident they are in loving, caring hands. She always gives me an update on my animals and asks appropriate questions if there are any unusual incidents. My doggies and kitties love her and greet her enthusiastically each time she comes over. I like having her come to my home so my dogs who don't do well in a kennel atmosphere (they will skip eating the first 2 - 3 days) and it doesn't upset their routines.

Meghan watched our two standard poodles in our home for 6 days and we felt so comfortable knowing she was there. She took really good care of them and our home. We received daily updates with pictures which was really important to us! We will definitely ask Meghan to watch our pups again in the future!!
