Darcia went above and beyond my expectations. My dog has separation anxiety so she stayed with him 24-7 he felt comfortable with her right away. Darcia sent pictures and updated me every day. She took my very energetic husky on long walks each day and was very precise about following my instructions. I couldn’t be happier to have found her!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience—she was always on time, incredibly reliable, and went above and beyond every single day. It was clear from the start that she truly loves animals and treats every pup like her own. She was attentive, caring, and completely trustworthy, which gave me such peace of mind. My dog adored her, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate dog walker—and I’ll definitely be hiring her again!

Hello, I have known Caroline for four years as she is dating my grandson. Caroline has a kind and gentle demeanor and her love for animals is clearly genuine. She has had the experience of working with a breeder having the awesome privilege, as Caroline would agree, to care for Golden Retrievers from the beginning of their pregnancies until their birth. As Caroline would say, "Now the fun begins!" They bring her so much joy and she absolutely loves taking care of all their needs. She also has cared for newborn kittens. She is forever sending me photos of these babies and shares the photos with me and my husband when she comes home from work. Most definitely, Caroline is a responsible and loving, nurturing pet caregiver and I absolutely recommend her for the opportunity to work for you. Thank you .

About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.

Alyssa was amazing with my pets. She went above and beyond what was asked. Mini (lab mix) is not a dog that warms up quickly to others and Alyssa didn’t give up on her. I do believe they are finally friends. I will be a repeat client and won’t hesitate to use Alyssa again.

Rochelle was a fantastic pet sitter for my Lucy girl. I had a last minute request and she was able to help out on short notice. Lucy received plenty of walks and excellent care. I was also kept up to date on how Lucy was doing and received plenty of photos. 10/10 will reach out to Rochelle again.

About: I've owned and taken care of pets since I was a child, from dogs, to cats, to rodents. I love ALL animals unconditionally. I currently own a senior Yorkie that I adopted when he was 11 and had lived a lifetime of abuse at a puppy mill. He is very safe and cared for here, and happy to boot 🥰 Your pets will receive just as much love as my pooch! I'm currently home full time, so my availability is full time! I take care of my dog and my roommates' two cats, though of course once they are taken care of I have lots of time to give your pets the same care 😊 If you choose to have your pets stay in my home, you can rest assured that this is a very safe, comfortable home of animal lovers. It's a house with a little fenced in yard, and plenty of room inside to run around with comfort. All pets are allowed on the furniture if that's okay for your pet; I am very lax according to your needs. Whatever is best for your fur baby! There is a small senior Yorkie who follows me around and will not have any issues with your pets. My roommates also have two cats that will most likely just hide the entire time your pet is here 😂 They are not aggressive when they do come out, no worries. They're used to other pets! If I were to come to your home, again, your fur babies will be taken care of as if they were my own 🥰

My wife and I had a wedding to attend down in Florida, and most of the friends and family that would normally watch our dogs were unavailable. We reached out to Kristie on short notice to see if she was available to watch them while we were away. She responded promptly, and came by to meet our dogs (Bandit & Bailey) within a couple of days. I could immediately tell she knew what she was doing as she walked through our door and was able to deflect our crazy jumper (Bandit, high-energy 100lb black lab) effortlessly. After talking over our typical routine, and playing a bit of fetch outside, I felt confident that she would be a great fit. We booked her that day. Days later, we finally made our way down to Florida and our pups were in Kristie's hands. From the very first day, she did a great job following their typical routine, and gave them quite a bit of exercise playing fetch out in the back yard. She sent a bunch of photos, and it was clear to us that they were very happy doggos! It really put our minds at ease, and allowed us to enjoy our little wedding vacation. I will definitely be reaching out to Kristie to have her watch our dogs again. She did a great job, and as I mentioned earlier, our black lab Bandit can be handful, and she handled it without a problem. For anyone else reading this, look no further, Kristie is the best.

Kimberly was a dream-come-true pet sitter. She's respectful, thoughtful, professional, and highly communicative. She stayed in our home and hung out with our cat & dog for a long weekend, and did a phenomenal job of caring for them and keeping us informed/comfortable during our trip. We came home to a sparkling clean and clearly cared for home. Would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat (unless you need her the same days we need her, then you can't have her lol!)
