“Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.”

About: I'm an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs. I'm patient, reliable and, I treat your pet like family. I have owned and worked with dogs all my life (I'm 65) and feel this is a natural fit as I near and enter into retirement. I'm currently a full time pastor of a Lutheran congregation. The congregation is used to me bringing dogs with me to work. However, depending on the pet and the request of the owners, I can leave pets at my (or your) home and check in on them regularly. I am with them overnight. I do not have a fenced yard in my Condo so will walk them on a leash. I have my own fur baby, Annie, who absolutely loves other doggy companions. I work with each pet and client individually to ensure that we are meeting your needs. Crate trained animals are welcome but I've sat for many who roam free in the condo.
“Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.”

“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”

“After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕”

“Omega takes excellent care of our dog and our home when we go on vacation. We have a 14 year old senior dog with an involved daily care regimen. Omega is sweet and patient with him. We also came home to clean home!”
“Taylor was amazing! We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Our husky moose immediately loved Taylor upon meeting her! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated!! 😊”

About: I've always had animals in my house growing up whether that be puppies/kittens or senior dogs/cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and playing with them whenever possible. I also dog/ cat sat for friends and family on numerous occasions. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available any weekday at certain times (which can be adjusted if needed) and all day on the weekends. I have cared for my pets in many different ways. I've crate trained my dogs for the most part, but I have also trained them without, so working with crates is something I'm familiar with. I also used to live in an apartment building, so walking dogs came on a daily basis and with ease.
“These guys are amazing!!! I was so concerned about leaving my dogs, normally they would come with us but this trip they were not able to. Theses guys have totally put my mind at ease. I get pictures everyday and text messages a couple times a day letting me know everything's going great. You can tell how much they care about animals, making sure they feel loved and well taken care of! I would highly recommend them.”
