1. Jason K.
“Jason took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! He kept in contact, took great pictures, and left the house just the way he found it (if not cleaner!). I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
2. Kayla B.
“Kayla already has lots of experience with taking care of pets. On top of just taking care of her two dogs herself, she has also researched online and trained them to sit, rollover, shake, etc. Additionally she has owned a bunny and a lizard, so she is well versed in taking care of any other pets. Caring and extremely patient, I couldn't recommend Kayla enough to pet sit.”
3. Kati C.
“Kati did an awesome job with a very stubborn, picky dog =) He’s getting old and had a paw infection that required oral medications twice a day. He’s very picky and anxious, and Kati made me feel like he was in great hands. She also went above and beyond to take care of his toenail when it bled and bothered him. I would definitely recommend her!”
4. Yelizaveta I.
“Yelizaveta is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our four Pugs on multiple occasions and has done an amazing job! We highly recommend her!”
5. Sandra V.
“This was our first time with Sandy watching our two cats and she was fantastic! She fed our cats, changed the litter, and sent pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
6. Marta S.
“Marta is a kind and genuine soul with a heart radiating of love and compassion for everyone but most important our beloved furry family members.”
7. Shawna T.
“Shawna came to drop-in on my two cats for 7 days and was so reliable and easy to communicate. She took time to play with my scaredy cat. She kept up on all the food and litter and was an absolute pleasure to work with!”
8. Aury R.
“Aury was so flexible with our Pepper. Originally booked for 3 days drop in visit, but due to our flight cancellations, we had to extend 2 extra days. Aury went above and beyond to make sure Pepper was fed and got his medicine, and the ease of adding extra days made me feel a lot better about not being home in time. Will definitely be using Aury again for our next vacation.”
9. Michele Z.
“Michele is an outstanding individual, she is caring, energetic, positive, and dependable. In fact, her positive energy is contagious, as is her generous spirit. I would completely trust my pet with Michele, as I know she is 100% reliable and responsible. I have a rescue dog with issues and would not trust him with many people, but I know she would be the perfect person to provide the care he needs. She has animal sense and an understanding that many people do not have. She is about what is best for the animal and has a true love and compassion for animals that I respect and admire. Michele has also been instrumental in spearheading a project for a local dog rescue organization and has a concern for the greater good.”
10. Anita P.
“Anita was great and helped us on Christmas day!”
11. Katerina K.
“Katerina was great with our cat. She arrived every day on time and always sent a picture! She was even able to give Tony his transdermal medication which can be a real pain. I would certainly book her again.”
12. Haven A.
“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”

Every other month, I work from home, allowing me to spend both the weekdays and weekends with them, providing consistent care and attention to dogs I ensure pets are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for with a consistent feeding and walking schedule, plenty of playtime, and attention, adapting to their individual needs.

“Thanks so much for taking care of our pups! We loved getting the pictures 3 times a day and the updates so we could have a stress free vacation, knowing they were in good hands.”
15. Megan E.
“Megan is a caring dog sitter. She was attentive, fun and loving to my dear Oreo and treated him like her own. She is very professional, attentive and responsible sitter. I will continue to use her in the future.”
16. Mallory S.
“Mallory takes great care of Sasha and Sasha lives her walks and play with Mallory. We try to use her every time we aren’t able to take care of Sasha ourselves. She is great.”
17. Michelle H.
About: We have older kids. Both living outside of the home. Our dog Sparky loves to play with other dogs. He is willing to share his space all over the house. Even our bed! We love pets and treat them as family. At this time most of my work is inside the of the house I like to take Sparky for walks around the neighborhood and could take your dog too. We accept dogs up to 22 lbs. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. Give us a try your dog will like us! About my yard My backyard has a chainlink fence and I am on a 1/2 acre lot. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication. I currently have work only a couple days outside the house a week for limited hours. Plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! We allow your dog full access to the whole house. This includes furniture if they are allowed. We have a nice sized fenced in back yard and a security gate around the front door for extra protection. We like to walk your pets and play fetch too! We will treat you pup the way we would want someone to care for our Sparky. Like one of the family. :) I am only working outside the house part-time in the afternoon a couple of days a week so I am home alot. I try to walk Sparky everyday weather permitting so I would bring your dog along if desired. I set aside play time and invite them to be in whatever room I am in. I have a sliding patio door in the kitchen on the main floor where I mostly hang out. I let pups out often in case they don't know how to tell me at first. I also set aside time for walks and playtime. I try to keep the same feeding schedule that your pet has at home when possible and that goes for treats as well. I always make sure there is plenty of water and comfortable places for them to lay around and even look out the window for their paw patrol duty. Oh I we all love cat naps!
18. Haley & Alex M.
“Haley and Alex were fantastic! Super reliable and responsive, and they were also incredibly friendly. Our dog is a husky and pitbill mix who gets bad separation anxiety and is also high strung around new people. He warmed up to Haley and Alex right away, and they were well equipped to deal with a more high strung dog. Highly recommend them!”

20. Brian M.
“Brian is a great guy he loves animals almost as much as I do. He loves dogs and cats equally. If need be he would watch other animals then that. He would make a great pet sitter for anyone who wants more than just coming and leaving, he would play with them and try to make them feel at home when your away.”
