Amruta is amazing! From the meet and greet I knew she would be a good fit for us. Tux was drawn to her immediately and is always so excited when she walks through the door. I have a very specific feeding routine for tux and amruta is diligent about following it. I am so happy to have found Amruta because I am now at ease when I go to work, knowing she dropping in to care for Tux. I cannot recommend her enough!

Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!

Shana was just wonderful and really helped us out! Since we are not from the area, she went above and beyond and was just a joy. She is very kind and gentle and you immediately know you can trust her. And professional at the same time. I wish we did live closer so we could continue but hopefully will again. I can’t tell you how much it helped for her to be there for our Taj (12 yo shihtzu)...he was great with her and she did everything to make him comfortable. She is so flexible and accommodating. We can’t thank you enough Shana; please keep doing this and wish you much continued success! Sorry for the late review!

TJ graciously came for a meet and greet last week. Today was first dog care and the dogs were happy to see him. He has good dog karma and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Puppy was happily worn out from lots of yard play. Will definitely use him again.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Sam! Great visits, played with our one unruly and terrifically needy orange, and treated them all (we have four cats altogether) like they were their own! Thank you, Sam for doing such a wonderful job!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and even rabbits. Friends and family have always trusted me to help with their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. I’d love to do the same for yours. I am currently a full time online college student and work at the elementary school during lunch/recess. My schedule is very flexible, so I can work with you to care for your fur babies when they need it most. While caring for your pet, I will be able to confidently keep them happy, safe and healthy. I feel comfortable with giving medications, light grooming, feeding, walking, playing, and maintaining any training you are doing. I am happy to scoop litter boxes and pick up dog poops in the yard too! Whatever keeps the routine predictable for you and your pet.

Beck was an exceptional sitter! We had him drop in on our cat, Scout, every day for over a week. He was incredibly communicative and sent detailed summaries and photos for each visit where he went above and beyond in playing with her and providing her with attention. We were originally stressed leaving our cat alone in the apartment for that long, but Beck's updates really reassured us on our trip. I will definitely be using Beck again for future sitting needs and recommend him to anyone in the local area.

About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!

We just moved to the area and the most stressful thing of a new move is finding a new Pet Sitter that you can totally trust with your pets. Amelia was wonderful from the start very communicative great with our pets when we did a meet and greet, and then was incredibly communicative the entire time we were away I trust her completely and will use her as often as I can in the future.

Catherine was very friendly and laidback. I think my cats sensed her easygoing personality. My cats liked her as soon as she walked in. I am very happy to see my cats looking good and relaxed. Definitely will ask her for more cat sitting.

This was my very first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I have two mixed-breed pups (Dogo Argentino and Pitbull), and they can be a handful—but from the moment we met Rubina we knew we made the right choice. She was calm, confident, and genuinely loving. She was punctual every day, attentive to their needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Both of my dogs absolutely adored her—and that says a lot! It’s not easy to trust someone new with your pets, especially for the first time, but she exceeded every expectation. I came home to two relaxed, happy dogs and a spotless home. I can’t thank her enough for treating my pups like her own. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend her. She’s officially our go-to sitter from now on!

I was invited on a trip over Labor Day weekend at the last minute, and I was fortunate enough to find Kevin to do drop in visits with my dog and cat. He followed all of my instructions to a T and provided EXCELLENT customer service. I honestly couldn’t have picked anyone better! He was great with my dog, who is 14 years old and has a few medical issues. I was able to enjoy my trip without being worried, and I came home to my house exactly the way that I left it. I will definitely use him again in the future.
