1. Aimee P.
“My cats adore Aimee to say the least. They may even like her more than they like me. She is so attentive and responsible. I love leaving them with her.”
2. Tara F.
“Tara was really helpful when she agreed to drop in to help feed and walk pixel. I’m really happy pixel made a new friend and I recommend using Tara for any service”
3. Sarah P.
“Mrs. Sarah was so wonderful, understanding and went absolutely above and beyond helping us watch out kitties 🐈⬛. They’re really special to us and I’m sure I wouldn’t put so much trust in anyone else. I really appreciate her help and I highly recommend to anyone for your pets needs.”
4. Riley C.
“Riley was so kind and communicative!! She helped out in a pinch (we needed help getting our dog dropped off and picked up from a vet appt several hours later), and she provided lots of very prompt updates and photos of our sweet girl. It’s clear that Riley took great care of Emmy (offering water when they were out, buckling her into a doggie seat-belt, etc.) Definitely recommend!”
5. Simone D.
“Simone is an excellent sitter. She has watched our pets Lucky and Scout many times. Simone always sends many photos and videos throughout the day and is super responsive. Will continue to ask her to watch our dogs!”
6. Lucy W.
“Lucy did a great job with my cat. Provided cute photos which I appreciated and it looked like my cat loved her visiting her. 10/10 would book again!”
7. SOFIA K.
“Sofia has been pet sitting for us for the last 14 years. She is incredibly reliable, and responsible and makes sure each of our dogs and cats got special attention and play time. She's great with highly energetic and active dogs, as well as senior citizens and special needs pups and cats who need a little extra patience and tlc! We cook for our pets and Sofia was great with making sure they all got the right food , right medicine, and plenty of exercise. She's extremely trustworthly and great with any and all animals. I know she also has experience with blind dogs too! I whole heartedly recommend her as a pet sitter and you may not ever want to use anyone else after you've had Sofia pet sit for you! (She also bakes a mean cake!!!)”
8. Aislyn R.
“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”
9. Anne W.
“Anne does a great job with my 3 kitties. They all have different personalities, but Anne has a special relationship with each one. I feel much better about travelling.”
10. Kaitlyn D.
“Kaitlyn was great with my cat Alpha for a couple drop-in when I was out of town for the weekend. He's very social and she gave him lots of attention so that he wasn't as lonely while I was out. I also got detailed updates from her visits.”
11. Emily F.
“The absolute best. 10 out of 10. Gave George an amazing Christmas while I was away!”
12. Ben O.
“Awesome job sitting Brady! Will definitely hire again. Thank you for helping me out! Very responsible”
13. Ziran Z.
“Ziran was more than caring and responsible. My dog Maxi usually does not feel comfortable with strangers but had no problem with Ziran. I strongly recommend Ziran as a pet caregiver! Definitely an animal lover just by the way Ziran and my dog interacted, which was a plus !”
14. Lane C.
“Lane is the best! Our cats are always so happy after we come home thanks to Lane's thorough care and attention. She really takes the time to make sure each of our three cats get plenty of treats and affection while we are away!”
15. Juliann P.
About: I've been pet sitting for cats, dogs, and other small animals since I was a child. Additionally, I've been riding horses since I was 8, so I am experienced in all types of animal care. I have one dog and two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with giving medications, controlling food portions, and making sure everyone is well entertained with plenty of attention. I'll make sure your pet is treated like one of my own! I currently work 5 days a week in an office, but I have flexibly availability morning, evening, and weekend care. Additionally, I am hardly out of the house for more than 8 hours at a time during the week and am open to taking lunchtime breaks for walks. The pets in my home are one big family. The cat litter is kept away from the dog, but the dog is not crated when we aren't home. Everyone cuddles together and is also given their space alone. For clients, I fit into your pets' lifestyle however they need when pet sitting. Only animals who have been introduced to my pets are eligible for boarding.
16. Nicholas B.
“Nick has always been an animal lover! Even when he was little, he loved taking care of the family dogs and bunny and spent endless hours playing with them. These days, he talks often of what type of dog he will get when he owns his own house. I would very much recommend him for pet caregiving.”
17. Jessica A.
“Jess has taken care of my dogs for years and has been incredible! She has walked them, fed them, and kept them overnight. She has also taken care of medicine with them on several occasions.”
18. mia y.
“Mia took great care of my animals! While I was away for the week she fed and walked my dog everyday while cleaning out the cage for my bird. Both my parakeet and German Shepard love her company and light up when she comes around. Given that my job requires a lot of travel she is a reliable pet sitter who leaves me home and animal spaces nicer than she found it! I highly recommend”
19. Amber F.
“Very nice and professional. Amber went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. Our hyper pitbull puppy wasn't to much for her. Both dogs took a liking to Amber immediately. Both were fighting for her attention. My wife and I definitely will use Amber again.”
20. Kiley P.
“Kiley is one of the best pet sitters i know! She’s taken care of my 2 dogs Charlie and Coco many times this year. I had hired other people, but it was clear they didn't care for them the way she does. she is extremely reliable and shows up on time. I couldn't recommend Kiley enough.”
