1. Julie C.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie as my cat sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very first interaction, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals. Julie took the time to understand my cat's unique personality and needs, ensuring that they received the best care possible while I was away. During the sitting period, Julie provided regular updates and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that my cat was not only well-cared for but also happy and comfortable in her company. Communication was seamless, and I appreciated Julie’s professionalism and reliability. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated pet sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


2. Hannah W.

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic with our 9-month-old boxer, Teddy! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. She made sure to keep Teddy on his routine and gave him plenty of playtime. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, and Teddy had a great time with her. We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend! Thank you Hannah for taking such good care of our little boy!!!!”


3. Ann t.

“Ann did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for any better sitter. In my home with my two little pomeranians. She stayed in contact with me. And showed me pictures and videos, i got a little jealous that they absolutely loved her more than me. Lol. Ann is very dependable, and I'd be crazy not to use her services again. I know my pups were loved.”

5. Olivia A.

“Olivia was great and accommodated a very last minute request while still stopping by ahead of the weekend to meet me, Gus and Hazel. She stayed at the house with my dogs Gus and Hazel and did a great job handling them and communicating with me the entire weekend. I would recommend Olivia and would ask her to stay with Gus and Hazel again.”


6. Jessie C.

“Jessie took care of our two dogs recently while we were away. She is a natural with dogs, is very responsible and took excellent care of our favorite furry friends. Jessie checked in multiple times a day with pictures, and also if she had any questions or concerns. I felt very confident in Jessie's abilities while we were away and returned to a clean home and happy, relaxed, well-exercised pups! She went above and beyond, and we hope she'll come stay with our dogs again in the future. Thank you, Jessie!”

Your pet will be well cared for and safe during her time with Rachael.”

“This was our first time leaving our dog for this amount of tIme. I was very nervous but Rebecca was so good with our dog. She stayed at the house keeping him comfortable. She took him on multiple walks a day which was his favorite thing to do. Rebecca kept us informed, sending texts and pictures. Giving him lots of love. She got along great with Percy. So happy we found Rebecca.”


9. Gabrielle E.
“I had the pleasure of working with Gabby at Highland Animal Hospital, where she worked in both reception and kennel care. Gabby is reliable, compassionate, and skilled,equally great with clients and pets. She handled front desk duties with professionalism and ease, even during busy or stressful times. What truly stands out is her intuition with animals—she reads body language well, notices when something’s off, and follows care instructions with precision and empathy. I would highly recommend Gabby for any pet care role and would trust without hesitation to care for my own fur baby, knowing she would be in loving and capable hands.”

13. William D.
“Willie is a born animal lover. He has had multiple dogs and bunnies his whole life and often takes care of our neighbors pets. He was an EMT in high school, and while that doesn’t extend to animals, he has always been great in a crisis - calm, quick thinking and caring. I would highly recommend him for pet sitting!”


14. Madison F.
“Madison, Was the best decision we made with our dogs! They love her so much that our little one cries and tries to leave with her. Madison is always on time and dependable we trust her 100% like family. We feel at ease when we are gone that our dogs are loved and well taken care of.”

16. Nicole D.
About: I grew up with two German Shepherds, Duke and Thor. Eventually after Duke passed away we got Brie who was a "K9 drop out". My brother has a 1.5 year old German Shepherd. Kai, and my dad has a 3 legged chocolate lab, Bixby, and two cats Socks and Olaf that I frequently care for. I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions. I work behind the Plymouth Airport, Monday-Friday 8am-4:30PM. I am available before and after work unless you live near my work. I am an early riser, I go to the gym and run before work. If you have a high energy dog, I am a good fit for you. I will make sure your pup is tired by the end of our visit. I cannot have pets at my home but I am very clean and organized. I also clean houses on the side, so if you need any house work done, I am a good fit. I will also make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.




17. Linda T.

“Linda did a wonderful job with our anxious pup. She spent a great deal of time with her and that really helped with Sophie's separation anxiety. Gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
