Teri was an excellent catsitter and really helped put our minds at ease that our cat would be well cared for while we were away. Teri was very commutative and flexible and we appreciated the detailed daily updates about our cat. We would definitely recommended and rebook with her!

We had Swagata watch our puppy for multiple days while at work since she wasn’t old enough to be left alone all day. Swagata was very accommodating and helpful, she sent lots of pictures and our puppy was always happy and well cared for. We will absolutely have her care for our puppy again in the future.

Patient and has a good vibe all around. Happy we went with her! We feel comfortable having her with our dog. He can be a lot but she doesn’t seem shy or uncomfortable being around him.

Christy gave special care and attention to my senior dog. She was this little dog's, who had gone through many changes in a short time, first pet sitter and it went well. I will welcome Christy back and recommend her as a reliable, caring pet sitter.

About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.

Lindsey was so great checking in on my two cats! She came the same time every day and gave me updates on how they were doing and what they ate. Lindsey was super communicative and I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you and your pet! I do have a fur baby of my own, but my parents love watching him😊 When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

Toni always goes above and beyond with our cats! We have a shy cat and by her second time having come to visit, the shy girl was willing to make herself known. That speaks volumes about Toni’s soul. Such a good person. We can’t wait for her to visit again!

I have a very high maintenance cat (17, blind, won't eat, etc) and Mackenzie took such good care of her! She checked in twice a day and sent very detailed updates to let me know how Gracie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing the Gracie was safe and being well cared for by someone that really truly cared about Gracie's wellbeing. I'll definitely be rebooking with Mackenzie!!

About: From the beginning, my wife and I have shared a love for pets, especially dogs. I formed a home where our first child was a furry, four-legged friend. This beloved first canine child strengthened my love and taught me profound parenting skills, and I have passed that legacy on to our two teenage children and our three-year-old son. I formed a home where the love for our dogs is genuine and sincere. That's why caring for your puppies is my responsibility, and I take it very seriously. I have extensive experience caring for all types of dogs, breeds, and ages, and we carefully study their different and unique personalities and needs. I treat them with love and respect. From the moment your dog enters our home, he/she becomes another member of my family. Rest assured that he'll share unique and memorable spaces with each member of my family and will be a part of my family routine without exception. My home is a loving, personalized, safe, and warm home for your dog. Depending on your needs, I accommodate and strive to make our four-legged friend feel at home with us.

As always, great experience with Beth. She is prompt to respond and takes the time to play with Rupert (not always easy! Lol!) which we greatly appreciate. Leaving your pets with someone can be so nerve-wracking. I'm so happy to have found Beth as she truly sets my mind at ease!!
