1. Elisabeth T.

“Elizabeth is great! Punctual, neat and follows all specifics. Baxter definitely looks forward to her visits and is pooped when she leaves ☺️”


2. Jackie G.

“Jackie took care of Lucy for the weekend and did a great job. She was kind, respectful and you could tell she loved caring for others pets. I would highly recommend and would book with her again in the future.”


3. Marideth W.

“Marideth is wonderful! I get the best pics of my happy pets while we're away and it makes me feel secure, knowing they are being cared for and loved.”


4. Carolyn T.

“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”


5. Beste A.

“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.”


6. Ciara F.
“Ciara cares deeply about animals—she has three rescued cats and a chinchilla of her own that she looks after every day. She has also taken care of my cat while I've been out of town for an extended period of time. Ciara made sure that my cat, Nema, stuck to her regular feeding routine, got lots of playtime, pets, and kisses in, and even sent me picture updates to let me know how Nema was doing while I was away and missing her. Besides myself, there's no one else I would trust more to look after my pet than Ciara.”




7. Ann R.


“Ann was awesome and took great care of my dog while I was gone for a week. I was out of the country but not worried at all as Ann was quick to respond or be in touch. I came home to a happy dog and my apartment just as I had left it! I’ll definitely be hsing Ann again and will recommend her to anyone I know!”


8. Sara L.

“Sara was awesome, so communicative and I felt so great leaving my guy in her care. Would highly recommend using Sara for your pup sitting needs”


9. Maia L.

“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”


10. Natalie D.
“Natalie is one of the most compassionate and hard-working people I know. She has cared for many animals in my family including my diabetic dog. She is always on top of the tasks at hand. She also watches my close, friends dog who is a new hyper labradoodle. She has been able to train him and teach him how to walk on a leash. Natalie loves animals as they keep her motivated each day!”


11. Allison W.

“I’m so glad I found Allison! She was able to take on the challenge of a brand new puppy over a long weekend and I’m so grateful. Couldn’t recommend her more!”


12. Ryan S.

“We had Ryan stay with our 2 dogs, Jade and Sienna and we are so happy we chose him. He took great care of them! They can be timid around new people and Jade takes a bit to trust, but Ryan got them to warm up and be best buddies right away. They were cuddle buddies from then on. He sent some pics too and we could see they were very comfortable with him. Ryan was always very good with communication too. He's a really great guy. Don't hesitate to book him as we certainly will be booking him again.”


13. Allenettra C.
About: Being a great pet sitter means more than just feeding and walking animals — it’s about providing them with love, attention, and a sense of comfort while their owners are away. I take pride in being responsible, attentive, and truly caring with every pet I look after. I understand that each animal has its own unique needs and personality, and I always take the time to get to know them individually. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, offering extra cuddles, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I work hard to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved. Clear communication with pet owners and a genuine passion for animals are at the heart of everything I do. During the workweek, I make sure pets are well cared for with morning check-ins, fresh food and water, and quick potty breaks before I leave for work. After work, I dedicate my evenings to longer walks, playtime, dinner feedings, and lots of attention and affection. On weekends, I’m available full-time, offering longer walks, play sessions, park visits, and extra cuddle time to ensure your pets feel happy, active, and loved. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority! I care for your pet like my own — making sure they are fed, exercised, loved, and happy every day. Whether it’s quick weekday visits or full-time weekend attention, I’m here to keep them safe, comfortable, and cared for.


14. Sydney J.
“When Syd walked my dog, she had the empathy to notice he didn't want to get too close to the other people around and hung back with him until he was comfortable. Also she cleaned up his vomit, which I appreciated.”


15. Lauren M.
“Lauren has been a pet sitter for me for over 5 years. She truly loves animals and it shows in her care and understanding of my dog and cat and ME!! She's willing and able to follow directions according to each animal's needs. I would entrust her to care for my pets for 30 minutes during the workday or for a 10-day vacation- she's done it all!”


16. Ryan M.
“What can I say? I'm an avid animal lover and pet owner of SEVEN ANIMALS! I have rescued 5 cats and have 2 dogs. I finally found someone who loves and cares for them as much as my husband and I do. Ryan not only treats them as her own, she administers medication, cuddles with them and is so protective of them. I sleep well at night, while I'm out of town just knowing she is there and how much she loves them. She absolutely goes the extra mile and has the highest integrity, kindness and genuinely CARES!”


17. Haley S.

“Haley did amazing with our baby, kept us up to date with how things were and when she got there and when she left..very responsive and dependable. Will definitely be using her again :)”


18. Caitlin C.

“Thank you, Caitlin!! Caitlin was communicative and loving to Tuna. She took great care of her while I was traveling. I appreciate her very much and will rebook with her for any future trips!”


19. Gabriella S.

“Gabriella was a life saver helping us to fill a care gap for our pups while we were away for our honeymoon. She scheduled a meet and greet right away and was very communicative during her time with them despite us being out of the country no less. Our boys are a rather large handful but Gabriella was more than willing to be firm with them. It was clear they were well loved and cared for and we couldn't recommend her more for your own pups!”


20. Katherine W.
“Katherine has cared for pets for my entire family. She is kind, responsible and a natural animal person. They are drawn to her. She shares stories of how dogs jump in her car or birds that fly into her car at red lights. My animals are receiving the best care with Katherine. I highly recommend her.”
