6. Seth C.
“Seth is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever come across, and I’m not just saying that because I’m his girlfriend! I’ve seen firsthand how much he genuinely loves and cares for animals. He’s dog-sat for my Teacup Yorkie multiple times, and each time, he goes above and beyond to ensure she’s comfortable and well-cared for. My dog has special dietary needs and requires extra attention, and Seth always makes sure she gets the right food, along with all the care and affection she needs. What really stands out about Seth is his ability to understand the unique needs of different dogs. He’s not just a sitter; he’s a true caregiver. He treats every dog with the utmost kindness, respect, and discipline, as if they were his own. I’ve even gone dog-sitting with him for some of his family members, and I witnessed firsthand how well he took care of their dog, Mr. Charley, during a weekend stay. Seth was incredibly attentive to Charley’s needs and made sure he was always comfortable and happy. I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog in his care, knowing she will be loved and well-attended to. Seth is reliable, responsible, and trustworthy – I can't recommend him enough!”


7. Lydia F.
“Lydia has taken care of my two cats, Wilbur and Genevieve, many times and I am always so at ease whenever they're in her care. I know my babies are safe, happy, and loved with her. She is proactive, communicative, and compassionate. She's my first choice every time I need petsitting!”


8. Melissa O.

“Missy is fabulous! My house was clean, towels and sheets washed, and my mums were even well taken care of. Our puppy was so happy during her stay. We received plenty of photos and videos! Thank you, Missy!!”


9. Kim B.

“Kim was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of Luna. I received pictures throughout the weekend and I could tell that Luna was so comfortable with Kim and that she was well taken care of! Luna had an accident and Kim took care of it right away. I would recommend Kim to anyone needed pet care! Thank you ☺️”


10. Onyx R.

“Onyx was great. She sat with our two four-legged imps for two nights. She kept us informed and sent lots of pictures. They were happy and well cared for. The house was left in the same condition in which we left it. Onyx is amazing.”


11. Candace M.

“Candace was so amazing! I have never felt comfortable leaving my girl with anyone but my parents, this was my first time using a sitter. Everything went so well and my pup was so happy. Candace sent me pictures and videos throughout. I also have some outdoor cameras on my property so I can see the comings and goings. Candace spent so much time with my pup, that made me really happy because my biggest thing was I didn’t want her to be alone, and she wasn’t!”


12. Rachelle G.

“I couldn’t say enough nice things about Rachelle and how she cared for our fur babies while we were on an extended vacation! She sent pics and updates every day and she loves our pets and took care of them like they were her own. 5+ stars for Rachelle - thank you for everything you did and for a worry free time for us knowing you were there!”


13. Abigail F.

“Abigail is a caring person who clearly loves dogs! She watch my two huskies, for the weekend and they were perfectly content when I returned. Even though I told Abigail she didn’t HAVE to vacuum, she did! Thank you for your kind, gentle, respectful and loving care of my boys?”




14. Sara N.

“I felt at ease leaving my two corgis in Sara's care for a week. She was very communicative, friendly, and reliable, and she did a great job of patiently helping my dogs through their anxieties. I would definitely recommend and ask Sara to care for my corgis again!”


15. Jennifer C.

“Jennifer was so GREAT with my 1.5 year old Frenchie during a recent day-long sitting. She takes a fun-loving but responsible approach to her work with animals and her experience and excellent rappor with dogs shows from the minute she walks in the door. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Jenn!”


16. Jess D.

“Jess watched our dog Zeke, in our house, while my husband and I went away for a week. Zeke has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone. By all accounts they got along well with each other. Jess was able to let us know that Zeke was doing well while we were away.”


17. Lauren K.

“Lauren was so great with my small but mighty & overexcitable black lab Jade. Lauren sent me plenty of pics and Jade felt comfortable around Lauren. Thanks again & Jade sends kisses!”


18. Carolyn J.
About: Hi, I am an experienced dog walker who regularly walks all sizes & breeds of pups. I have pet first aid & pet sitting certifications from Pet Sitters International. I can sit 1 dog at a time in my own homes and have also sat for wonderful dogs and cats in their own homes. Since I have revisited many of my clients’ pets several times, I see myself as a favorite aunt who drops in to have fun & take wonderful care of the pets. =) I love being with animals, caring for them, getting to know their personalities & quirks and giving them all the love & attention they truly deserve. My focus now is on midday dog walks and cat drop-ins, with occasional overnights. I truly LOVE both dogs and cats. 🐶🐱❤️ I am available on weekdays and weekends for morning or afternoon walks. Please allow for 2-3 days notice. I am also available for adventure walks and full day sits. I understand your home is your sacred place and I will treat it as such. I pay careful attention to the amazing dogs and cats in my care with a focus on their emotional, social & physical wellbeing. For cats, I slowly engage (on their terms!), encourage interaction with wands/toys, and overall make sure their needs are met with fresh food and water, treats (if ok), a clean kitty commode, etc. Of course, I'll remain in regular contact with you to let you know how they're doing. Also to also to send cute photos. :)

“LOVED working with Nicole!!! Would recommend, and will work with again. Really can't say enough nice things. She send cute pics every time and the video of my shy cat letting Nicole pet her chin on the very first solo meeting was priceless :D”


20. Rebecca C.

“Rebecca was amazing! She was so communicative with us. She sent so many pictures of our fur baby while we were gone and was beyond thoughtful. We will definitely be using her again!”
