“Emma did a wonderful job watching our dog Finn. She was on time to pick up the key, and sent me pictures and texts throughout the booking so I knew Finn was fine. She played games with him, walked him and fed him on schedule. I know Finn was happy because he was not anxious when we got home. He is usually very needy and clingy after we have been away. This time with Emma, he was totally chill when we got home. I eould book with Emma again in a heartbeat!🐕👍”
“Katherine is a absolutely amazing sitter! My two labs are attention hogs and she handled them with love and ease for a week of house/dog sitting. She is professional, considerate and communicative! I highly recommend her for your pet needs! She will be my go to.”
“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
About: I am experienced in all types of pets from rabbits and snakes to large dogs and cows. From exotic to every day I've cared for a wide variety. I am currently work a nine to five weekdays so my schedule is open for afternoons and evenings week days and I am available any time weekends. I have experience in crate training, potty training, and leash training my own dogs and am very compassionate for dogs that might need extra care and attention.
“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”
“Jennifer did so great with Reese for the week!!! She sent lots of pictures and I know he got plenty of outside time and playing in his pool which he loves! She did enrichment activities with him!! He can be extra energetic but she did so great with him!!”
“Kelly good great care of my sweet older boy Murphy. She answered text quickly and sent pics. She followed my care instructions and my house was exactly as we left it when we returned. I will definitely hire Kelly again!”
About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”
“Sianna, was the absolute best. Our dogs loved her so much we thought they might be disappointed when we returned! She sent plenty of updates and pictures! I highly recommend her!”
“Claire was wonderful and I highly recommend her! My dog needs some extra attention and Claire went above and beyond, would definitely have her house and dog sit again!!”
“Roberta is awesome! She was so kind and always gave updates on our dogs. She stayed the night 2 nights and dropped in on a Saturday a few times. I would recommend her to anyone and use her again. She even tried to vacum up the dog hair off couch. Thank you”
“Stokeley was AWESOME!! I have a senior pittie and 2 cats.., plus an outside stray~ he took care of EVERYONE so wonderfully!! He didn’t hesitate to ask questions if necessary and kept me posted on everyone’s day!! It’s difficult to leave your 4-legged babies but with Stokeley.., I felt great confidence and could truly enjoy my trip without worry!! Thank you Stokeley.., I will DEFINITELY book again AND, let my friends and family know of your great service!!!”
“Shirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.”
“Cassie was a great pet & house sitter! We had a nice initial meeting and all the animals warmed up to her immediately. She was easy to work with, flexible, friendly and trustworthy. She walked the dogs and sent pictures every day. She kept her eye on the cat and guinea pigs and cleaned up after herself…and she even left an origami bird for luck. I will definitely be contacting her again. She gave me peace of mind to enjoy a few days away with the family without worrying about the home front. Thank you!”
“Sierra was great. Our house was kept clean and our dogs were happy. Not much communication and no pictures were sent but we believe they were having a good time and were satisfied with the stay.”
“Audrey took great care of our dog and cat this weekend! The house was left exactly how it was left and the animals were happy! I even received updates & pictures over the weekend of our fur-babies. Thank you, Audrey!”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
