“Allie was amazing with our dogs and extremely respectful of our space. She sent photos of our pooches which was appreciated when you really miss them, took them on walk, and really looked out for them. We plan to reach out next time we travel so she can watch our puppies again! Book her!”

“Mary and Noe were great! They sent photo updates and when one of my dogs had a small cut gave me all the details and were extremely attentive to the dogs needs. They also left the house cleaner than when they arrived. Would highly recommend.”

4. Brandon D.
“Brandon was our housesitter for our most recent trip. He took wonderful care of our 2 bullmastiffs and our senior cat. There are no words that can describe the quality of care that Brandon provided for our pets. He is extremely caring and knowledgeable and had a wonderful approach with our pets, that can be challenging. He easily adapted to their needs. Knowing that Brandon was staying with our pets, gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. We very highly recommend him and our pets are looking forward to spending time again with him in the future 😊”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I’m looking at schools to become a veterinarian. I love all kinds of animals if you have more animals in your home that you need to be tended to other than your cats or dogs I’d be more than greatful to check on them too. I know how to train anything from basic commands to leash training. I don’t mind spending some extra time with your furry friend to help you train them. I’m a very trustworthy and patient person I’m an licensed nursing assistant. I love helping everyone. When I see someone happy it makes me happy. Especially when I can make the animals I’m caring for or looking after happy, healthy and get to run around and play with them. I’m here to grow my hobby into something more. Want to build it into my own business sooner then later I am currently free for an almost all of the services I’m now renting so not able to do daycare or boarding the rest of services I can do during the day or after work; I work evenings 2:30pm-11:30pm Monday-Friday. But during the weekends I’m free all hours for your furry babies, I’m available all holidays. Send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can I have a happy Dog that loves to play and take naps. We go for walks Ellie (my pup) knows to leave the senior dogs alone. She matches other dogs energy so if another dog is outgoing energetic so is she, but if like a senior dog is lazy just wants to sleep she will do the same.
7. Marilou L.
“Bonjour à vous, j'ai connu Marilou lorsqu'on habitait ensemble avec mon gros et vieux chien. Elle prenait des marches avec lui, moi je n'ai plus le courage de le faire, il est assez difficile à marcher avec! Mais elle en avait la patience et le courage. Mon chien à bin de la misère à écouter et obéir, mais avec la douceur et la patience de marilou, elle y arrivait! Je la recommande avec vos animaux, elle les adore et si vous l'invitez chez vous, pour avoir habité avec elle, je n'ai jamais eu crainte pour ma maison, mes objet, ni mon chien!”

17. Alyssa S.
About: I have a husky two cats and a bunch of reptiles. The cats can be seperated from any anti kitty pups. I love pets and I love babysitting. I have experience with all age dogs and cats. As well as experience with almost any reptile you can think of :) I work Monday through Friday from home 2pm-8pm so I’m always home to supervise the pups. I can walk whenever needed as my schedule is very flexible and my partner works the same job so she also can step in if needed. We have an unfenced yard that I walk the pups in, dogs always have a leash on before the door opens so no one can sneak out. I do separate bowls in separate rooms for feeding time and have my dog used to being around different dogs so there’s no issues there. I tend to be the kind of sitter that enjoys spending time with your dog rather than just allowing the pup to spend time in my home. Lots of pets kisses and treats are what our house is about:) I will make your pup feel at home.
