“Gabi did awesome with our Rory! She is a 4 month old lab mix that can be quite the handful. Gabi stayed over at our house for 4 days and was able to handle her great :)”
“I always leave a review so that others will feel more than comfortable when considering Kaylee to watch their dog. I’m grateful to have found her and have hired Kaylee a few times already as this last trip was 2 weeks outside of the country. It made my trip more enjoyable, and my seven-year-old dog has really bonded with her!”
“We would re-book Jillina without hesitation. She is a high integrity, super responsible pet sitter who will make it a priority to comfort and care for your pets. She truly bonded with our felines (2 mature Siberian cats). Her attention to our details, which we clearly outlined, were kept without compromise. We graced her with a lot of latitude in our home which she treated with great respect and did not in any way take advantage of. Our cats will miss her! Jillian personifies the ideal pet sitter.”
“Krissy took great care of Otis while my wife and I were out of town. Regular updates, accommodated his picky eating habits, lots of walks and love. 10/10 would recommend for all pet/house sitting needs!”
“Dogs loved Nicole and she did great with them! The dogs can be a handful with high energy, but Nicole matched their needs and spent a lot of time outside playing. We are grateful to have Nicole as a sitter and we will have her back soon!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and hands-on experience caring for pets in both shelter and clinical settings. I started my journey working at a local animal shelter, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. Now, I work at an animal hospital, where I spend my days caring for boarded cats and dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and handling special feeding protocols. I also understand that not every pet is easygoing, and that’s okay! I’m comfortable working with pets who may be reactive, anxious, or need a little extra patience and care to feel safe and secure. I work from 7:45 AM to 1:30 PM most days and 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Fridays, so I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and visits outside of those hours. Weekend hours may change depending on my work schedule for the week. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs! When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, medication, and exercise to ensure they’re getting the care they’re accustomed to. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or snuggles on the couch, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for your pet. I’m also always mindful of the spaces I am in and am more than happy to clean up any messes made! If there are any special needs or behavioral concerns, I’m happy to work with them to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“He did an amazing job! Left the home in great condition and took really good care of our pets while we were out of the country for 12 days. Good communication. Will book again.”
About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.
About: I've worked for a dog walking company, wrangled ferrets, and outsmarted wily cats. With nearly a decade of pet sitting experience I'm ready for just about anything your furry friend can throw at me. I'm adept at problem solving and can meet your pet where they need me to be. I have experience administering medication and coaxing the anxious and stubborn out of their shells. I am free most days in the morning and the afternoon if you need a walker quickly. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with clients to meet their needs. I will follow any instructions clients give for how much freedom they want their pets to have. I usually like to keep them in sight or in an enclosed area like a fenced in yard when not out on a walk. I like playing and keeping them entertained or sitting quietly together if they're tired. It mostly depends on the energy levels and temperament of each individual.
“Noemi was great at communicating and providing updates while we were gone! Our dog is typically skeptical of new people, but warmed up to her immediately in a way we rarely see. She was willing to do a meet and greet before staying with our pup which put us at easy. I would definitely user her again.”
“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”
“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”
“Cadence was a blessing! She was a perfect match for us and our 2 sphynx kittens, I'm sure they were so happy to spend the time with Cadence. We will definitely reach out to request her for our next trip, thank you Cadence for being a great loving sister and for keeping our home tidy. Looking forward to the next time!”
“Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!”
“What a great team! Mallory and Ian took care of our two shepherds for a week in our home. Daily pic updates were sent. Ian played ball and exercised our pups. We will definitely use them again.for future dog/home sitting.”
“I had the pleasure of having Maddie look after my dogs and house while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was reliable, sent a picture of my dogs, communication was great. My dogs seemed so happy and well taken care of when we returned. She left my house just as we left it. I will be using Maddie again.”
