1. Jennifer M.

“Jenny was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet and brought both the cats and dogs treats. They instantly loved her. She is very responsive and very good with animals. My two dogs and two cats sat at the door after she left waiting for her to come back. She sends daily updates and took such great care of all of my four-legged kids. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their animals to be well cared for. Thanks again Jenny!”


2. Katie S.

“Katie did an excellent job of cat sitting/house sitting while I was on vacation for a week. I felt at ease knowing she was there to look after my cats, and they were comfortable with her. One of them even took naps in her lap. The photos were very sweet. I will definately be using Katie again on my next vacation.”


3. Victoria W.

“Victoria was great with our two dogs. She was very responsive and went above and beyond caring for our girls. Will definitely be reaching out to rebook!”


4. Cristina H.

“Our animals were in good hands with Christina. She was communicative, friendly and reliable. We felt safe leaving our animals with her and have already booked her again!”


5. Jerri H.

“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”

8. Hayley M.

“Hayley has got to be the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. She was very in tune with Angel’s needs, playful, and communicative throughout pet sitting my girl. I will definitely be reaching out to her again and would refer her to any/everyone in my dog friend community. Thank you, Hayley!”


9. Nick B.
“Nicholas is a very caring and funny person. He took care of my dog for about two years and in those two years I've never had any issues or complaints. He has always been a great at his job and I would totally recommend him to anyone that needs help with their dog. Another plus is that Nick has the dog in him, making him an even better candidate.”


10. Annabella U.
“Annabella is such an amazing caregiver and took great care of my dog . I was recommended to her by my friend Sofia and it was the best decision yet . She updates me on my dog when I’m out of town with pictures and text messages . My dog needs medication and she had no trouble administering them and even went above and beyond by brushing him out every day since he sheds a lot . You are in good hands with her . 10/10 recommended!!”

“Responds quickly, and took great care of my two dogs. Really appreciate how Kirstin took a little extra time to make my one dog - who has stranger danger- comfortable. I will be using Kirstin again!”


12. Kaila B.
About: Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾 I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾 I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾


13. Francis M.

“Francis was a fantastic sitter, providing high-attention care of both our pets and our house while we were away. He took careful notes, tracked medications, proved highly flexible with unexpected changes, and even managed to make quick friends with our elusive cats. Francis is the first sitter to interview us during the meet-and-greet, rather than the other way around. From the moment we met, we knew that Francis was a different kind of sitter. Francis is a caretaker. We strongly recommend Francis for your pet and house sitting needs.”


14. Eric D.

“Eric was fantastic and communicated with me through the entire trip including many pictures of my fur babies. He was great taking care of my geriatric dog and puppy alike.”


15. Nora K.
About: Give me a chance to take care of your furry family. I will treat him/her like my own, Spoiled! I will do my best to take care of any special requests that is needed. I do have a flexible accommodating schedule and if possible I would like a meet and greet with my Boston Terrier & Min Pin that live in my home. All dogs have different personalities and want all to be safe. I do have a fenced yard for a safe space for your baby. There are trails that are walking distance and several parks close to my home. But will only sit furry babies 50lbs and under and will need a meet and greet with my Boston terrier & Min Pin, both are neutered.


16. Maya L.
“Maya house and pet sat for us for 4 days while we were out of town. We have one dog and two cats, and she did great with all three! She was on time, our pets seemed to really like her. She’s took our dog on a few short walks a day (she’s disabled, so this is best for her). She also managed one of our cats medical diets and feeding the two cats separately, which can be kind of a task because they love each others food. We are planning on having her back!”


17. Nilab A.
“Omg! Nilab is an absolute gem! She’s so kind and gentle to all living creatures. She pretty much runs a foster care for abandoned animals and in her spare time she’s always looking for safe homes to rehouse sweet little kittens and puppies. I have her cat sit for me when I leave on trips and can always trust that she’ll give my sweet baby the same love she gives her own. I can’t recommend her enough! Thorough, communicative, kind, gentle, and so sweet!”


18. Samanta G.
About: I've watched over foster kittens and previous roommates' dog on and off for about a year. Unfortunately, I keep busy and don't have the time to properly care full-time for a pet, but I don't miss any opportunity to play with them! Unfortunately I was laid off from my company due to lack to funding so I'm currently available Mon-Fri 6am-5pm :) more than willing to work with your schedule if you'd like to set up reoccurring appointments Pets are like children and it's up to you to determine how you'd like others to care for them. I'm certainly all ears and respect your wishes.


19. Henry D.
“Henry is a pet lover ! He loved our 2 dogs Bailey and Daisy as if they were his own ! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing pet services !”


20. Stephanie H.

“Stephanie was wonderful with our pets. She arrived on time, and sent us great pictures during the two days she was here. And we appreciate the pre meet-and-greet to introduce her to everyone here. It was a great match and we would be sure to request her again in the future when needed.”
