“Katherine did a great job with my Rescue Dog and cats. It was the dog's first time having a caretaker in the house while I was gone and she had a lot of patience and kept me updated during her stay.”
“Lauren was friendly and even came a little early! I left for work knowing Diego was a happy pup in good hands. He greeted her with lots of kisses and even took the initiative to find out where cleaning supplies were after I mentioned Diego happy pees and cleaned up after him without needing to be asked. We will definitely be repeat customers! Thanks Lauren :)”

“thank you Brenda for being such an amazing house and pet sitter for us! Brenda took the time to come to my house first to meet with me and all the animals. our dogs warmed right up to her and we had no issues at all! Brenda was attentive, she followed feeding instructions perfectly, took the time to keep us updated and sent pictures, and she even took the time to get my dogs some new balls to play outside! she was trustworthy, caring, and my animals enjoyed having her over the house. I was thrilled with the care Brenda provided my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I will absolutely be looking to Brenda for future care and can 100% recommend her as a sitter.”
About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)
“Shannon is amazing, she took such great care of our doggos they are wiped out!!! Amazing attention to detail, thank you so much will reach out again for sure!!!”
“Pixie was amazing with our 2 dogs and house sitting while we were away for the weekend. She kept in constant communication sending updates, pictures and even telling us when she had to leave and how long she would be gone. I honestly dont think I worried once about them or our house! We already have her booked again for our next trip.”
“She was perfect. Everything you could want in someone taking care of your fur babies (all 4 of ours!) We will definitely be using her again! Thanks again!”

About: I have experience with many dogs in my family. I love going outdoors and going on walks on a daily basis. Having a companion would be perfect. I work a part time job and I am a college student. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur-babies. I can be patient and reassuring, meeting new people can be a scary experience for a lot of pets. I can make sure to maintain the schedule the pets are used to as-well to make them feel more comfortable.
About: I've been caring for pets of neighbors, family, and friends since I was a child. I love and care for animals of all breeds, sizes, and abilities. I’m currently on summer break, so I’ll be returning to school late August. Until then, my summers are wide open for you and your pets! I understand that all animals have different boundaries and personalities, and I take that into account with each animal I care for. I am gentle with all pets and ensure that their safety and comfort is my top priority.
“Lejune was wonderful! We are booking a second stay with her now!”
“Absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date on my dogs while I was away and took great care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was great with them and they were in great hands! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. Many different kinds and I love them all! I am great with grooming and walking and just loving on pets. I have been helping out my neighbors and family for years. Can’t imagine life without furbabies. I am currently employed and working 7:30-3:30pm everyday, but I am flexible and I’m willing to work with clients to make caring or pets convenient for owner and pet. I can care for pets anyway pet owners would prefer for the most part. I’m very flexible. I can walk, groom, feed on schedule, etc.
“Our dog is wary of all strange people and has separation anxiety, so we have never left her with a sitter before. Emily came to our home twice to meet Sadie and let Sadie get to know her a bit. She went with Sadie and I on walks and learned her routines. We let her know what time we left and she came within 2 hrs. to begin her stay. She took excellent care of Sadie and Pippin the cat. Sadie loved her and did so well with her! She quickly bonded with Emily and even slept cuddled up next to her at night. Pippin eventually warmed up to where he joined them on the bed at night. Emily sent me so many pictures and video clips and reports about the pets that I was reassured that they were doing well. Emily did her work here via her laptop and only left Sadie and Pippin for a few hours twice a day to run errands. Emily is the best! I will definitely call on her again if we ever need a pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”
