“Brianna is always great but this trip I was very anxious going out of the country with no communication and she took great care of our babies as usual putting my mind at ease!”
“Savannah was very communicative and flexible with our last minute needs and house full of pets! It was our first time leaving our house to someone who wasn’t a family member and we didn’t have a worry or doubt at all.”
“Josh did an amazing job with Kona for our vacation. He kept us up to date with walks and pictures, which we appreciate with being away from our pup. Definitely recommend him ! Very responsible and takes great care of your home while living there.”
“Brie house-sat for us while we were away for several days and did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs and two cats. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were gone. Communication was smooth and timely throughout. She took the dogs on multiple walks each day and made sure all four pets were well cared for and comfortable. When we returned, the animals were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
“We adored Phoebe! We had a last minute trip that we were fortunate enough to meet and book Phoebe! She adored our pets and text us regularly to give updates and send pics.Her communication exceeded our expectations! It’s so great knowing when you are away that someone is loving on your fur babies as much as you do. We already plan on booking Phoebe for our next trip!”
“Ashlyn was phenomenal! She took great care of my two senior dogs for five days, keeping them on their schedule (including a 5am wakeup) and giving medicine. She also had great communication skills, and kept me updated!”
“I highly recommend Megan to watch your pets. She watched our two golden doodles and kept us updated! She really took care of them like they were her own and kept them happy and spoiled!”
About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. I work 7:30-4:30 in Hiawatha Monday-Friday with a 1 hour lunch for letting the dog out at noon, all my other time is available before and after work. I am not currently offering in-home pet care. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.
“This is the 4th or 5th time we’ve had Leslie watch our dog/cat/home while out of town. She goes above and beyond to accommodate ours and our furbabies schedules. Highly recommend Leslie!”
“We had to leave town for a funeral, so we didn’t have much notice. Ashleigh was accommodating. She was professional and our dogs loved having her stay with them. She sent us updates and photos, so I knew that they were being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ashleigh if you need a pet sitter.”
“DeMira did a wonderful job managing our pets and caring for our home! She stayed overnight and took care of our big dog - who has significant anxiety when we leave - and our two cats, who absolutely hate each other and have to be separated with locked doors. I feel like our pets are so complicated and she handled them with ease. And our dog was SO happy when we got home - it was clear he'd found a new best friend! I highly recommend DeMira.”
“Karley was amazing with our golden retriever, Dierks, and he seemed very happy and relaxed when we returned! I especially appreciated how accommodating Karley was with schedule changes that happened last minute. We would definitely recommend Karley and will be booking with her again!🤩”
“Sarah was amazing! Not only did our “zoo” love her she pulled weeds around the house, and when the dogs were kenneled she had music playing for them. She is quick to respond and absolutely amazing with all our animals! We will use her in the future for all the times we go out of town. I couldn’t recommend her more. Truly is an amazing person and animal lover. Amazing experience! Highly recommend her for your sitting needs!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was very young. Later in life, neighbors and professors would ask me to dog sit or dog walk when they were unable to do so. Taking care of dogs is something I enjoy and would like to do more often. I am currently working on Mondays through Thursdays at 11-8:30 but I will always be able to work around it to spend time with my furry friends. At the moment me and my family are housing a puppy that is a year old. We have a fenced in yard for her to run around and she eats well crafted food to keep her energy and health up.
“Nathan was very communicative pre booking, during the stay, and after the visit. He stayed at my place for nearly a week and noticeably respected it - I would trust him to stay again. My two cats were well cared for and he was able to follow their specific feeding schedule and litter cleaning instructions without concern. Id highly recommend Nathan for any house sitting or drop ins!”
