“Did a great job taking care of my pups. Will definitely book with Amanda again.”
“We love Elizabeth! She’s great with my Great Dane and has become our regular sitter. Responsive, great with care instructions, and super reliable. :)”
“Loren has watched my cat many times and has consistently been the greatest sitter. I never need to worry when I’m gone because she takes care of everything! She also sends so many cute pictures and is very responsive. 10/10!”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”
“Sarah has provided great care to my sweet senior cat over the course of several bookings. Callie is often shy with strangers, yet she connected with Sarah on the first visit. I have more peace of mind when I’m away thanks to Sarah’s excellent communication and wonderful photos.”

“Skyler is a gem and I would have no hesitation about booking her again. (And will!) My fur- baby recently lost her sister dog and has been stressed. Leaving for a 3-night work trip was super stressful, but the many pics of fun walks, a trip to the lake, and snuggle time made me feel completely relaxed about the care she was receiving. A+!”
“Alaina did great with our elderly cat, who's on several medications. The communication was good, and Alaina went above and beyond to ensure she'd have time to give morning meds since our kitty loves to hide in the morning. We're grateful to have found a reliable pet sitter and look forward to more trips with the peace of mind of knowing that our kitty is well cared for.”
“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! She did drop ins for my dog on short notice and followed all instructions perfectly. My dog is quite shy and easily startled. Sarah worked with him to make sure he was comfortable with her and even got him to walk a little further with her everyday. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pet!”
About: Hello! My given name is Rachel but I go by Gerome. It'd be an honor to take awesome care of your pets and home while you’re away.

“Migle was very attentive to my dog and made sure her needs were met. She was very professional and punctual. I will definitely use her again.”
“Mindy is always great with Scout! I appreciate how communicative she is when she enters the home. She sends lots of pictures of Scout playing, being a goofball, and overall enjoying her company! I tell Scout “Aunty Mindy” is coming over and he quickly runs to the door to look for her.”

About: I have over 8 years of dog care, walking and sitting experience. No dog too big or small. Special needs dogs are my specialty! Looking forward to being your pets’ new buddy. I work part time remotely, so my schedule is pretty wide open. I always have time to take dogs on 2-4 walks a day. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all have availability. I have a fenced yard and a dog & cat. They are both friendly and cross species trained. I let them out a few times a day, but prefer to do at least one big walk per day, whether it is to the park or on a nature walk.
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and some cats in my life. I grew up in East TN with tons of animals running around and am comfortable with the chaos that brings. I have a small dog of my own, Jack, who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. I’m a creative working part-time and I have a fairly flexible schedule during the week. When I am working, I’m working from home and on site for a few hours two days a week. I have a fenced in backyard and a medium sized crate available for use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my house and I have lots of chew toys!
