“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”
“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”
“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”
“Brigit is amazing! You can totally trust her. She is responsible and caring and adaptable. I had to change my date at the last minute because of an emergency, and all she cared about was that things with me were okay. I would absolutely hire her again. She is fantastic.”
“Rachel is amazing! She dog sat and apartment sat while I was out of town. I got pictures and updates several times a day. She took my dogs out for sun time and to potty. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Rachel for an amazing job!”
“Tracy was exceptional. She showed sincere care for our aging cat, who has chronic kidney disease. He took a turn for the worse before Tracy was scheduled to care for him, but we were relieved to leave him in such capable hands. Tracy has medical experience with pets and was able to give our cat subQ fluids to help stabilize him. This level of expertise is rare among pet sitters. I can't recommend Tracy highly enough.”
“Madelynne took the best care of our pup and cat while we were away. She was very communicative throughout her stay and sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. She went above and beyond for our sick dog by giving us constant updates and even taking her to the vet. We are so grateful for her time and the love she showed to our pets. We hope to have her every next time we are out of town.”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.
“My dogs loved spending time with Michael and even walked with him. They don’t usually walk with anyone but me or my kids. My dogs immediately warmed up to him and seemed very happy and content when I arrived home. I have already booked him again. I’m very happy with his services. He communicated well and did a great job.”
“Dont really want to extole Laurie's work here because I want to keep her the best secret ever, but that wouldn't be fair. She's kind, smart, conscientious, flexible, my dogs LOVE her. She's great! The house was tidy and her communication was just right, not too much but enough to give me confidence that all was going well. I'm going to book her again any chance I get.”
“I am a very nervous dog mom. I was incredibly anxious to leave my two small, senior dogs with anyone. My dogs were immediately comfortable with Sara. Her gentle, sweet nature put me at ease right away. I came home to two perfectly relaxed dogs. I am very grateful for the care Sara gave, especially to my dog that needs medications and extra attention! I am already booking her for my next trip away.”
“Toli did such a great job house sitting with our English Bulldog who has a lot of personality and needs lots of love! Toli was communicative each day, asked great questions and provided excellent care for our dog and home!”
“Amber did such a great job! She was early, great at communicating, incredibly respectful of our home and took great care of our girls. I’ve had some really bad experiences and I can honestly say I was relaxed during our trip and not nervous about how our first experience would turn out because of her excellent communication. We can finally go on vacation without worrying!”
