1. Anne T.

“Anne was a fantastic sitter. I got lots of pictures and updates about my senior dog. You can tell she takes good care of your dog. His meds were given and he looks very well-fed. She worked w my schedule and was very accommodating. Might need to plan more trips. Thank you Anne!”

4. Jennifer T.


“The experience with Jennifer was amazing. Our dog clearly had fun and was comfortable from the start. We are so glad to have found Jennifer. Is she is exactly the type of person one would want to take care of their fur baby”


5. Erin D.


“Erin was very attentive, loving and compassionate with our Corgi, Bilbo, while he was in her care/house for several hours, while we attended a birthday party. She even sent us a picture of our happy boy, while boarding at her place. Highly recommended 👍😊”


6. Stephanie M.

“Stephanie was wonderful! So sweet and kind and loving to our pup Whitney! She had a great time, you can tell she was very well taken care of and loved! We got pictures and updates every day which was awesome too! We will definitely be using Stephanie again for our pet sitting needs!!”


7. Karisa E.

“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”


8. Kristen O.


“Kristen has been watching Bentley for 2 years now. It is his second home. I know he always loves going there by his pure excitement when we pull up to Kristin's house. She has been very reliable and caring. She provides the best photos, especially those action shots! We will continue using her on regular basis. She has been awesome!”


9. Agnatha W.

“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”


10. Jessica A.

“Pepper had a phenomenal weekend with Jessica! She's loving and kind and Pepper was spoiled with all the attention he could get. I cannot say enough great things about her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Pepper looks forward to his next visit as well! Such a relief to know when I can't have my giant fur baby with me that he is so well cared for.”


11. Kyla H.

“Kyla did a great job watching our two boxers for a full week. She took lots of pictures of them throughout the week. I would recommend her to anyone.”


12. Rachel M.

“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”


13. Jane L.

“They were so kind and caring to our dog. They were sensitive to my desires to meet them and have Teddy get used to them a little before we left him. Excellent!”


14. Derik G.
“Derik has always done an excellent job taking care of my babies. I have two pigs and they are a lot different to care for than other animals, but Derik made sure to follow all my instructions to the T. He takes extra time out of his day to spend with my piggies and love on them. He’s an 11 out of 10! I will definitely recommend his services to all my family and friends!”


15. Nan D.

“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”


16. Salehin H.

“Salehin accepted my request last minute and really helped me with my dog! He sent me constant pictures and gave me updates on her. She was happy when she left :)”


17. Mariah P.


“Did a great job! My dog got a long great with her dog. She was attentive to the medicine he needed. She even replaced the dog food her dogs ate. She sent pictures and did well communicating.”


18. Natalie E.
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie and I have been a dog lover my entire life! I am 25, a RN, and a newlywed! I have owned 2 basset hounds in my life - Claire, who passed away in 2016, and Mabel, who is currently under the care of my parents, as she didn’t adjust well to the apartment I moved in to. I have dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college, and volunteered at local animal shelters. I am looking to make some extra money in my spare time and get my “doggie fix” since my Mabel isn’t living with me at this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your pups! As a nurse and a wife, my schedule varies, but I’m willing to be flexible and accommodating as long as I’m booked well enough in advance. I will make your pet(s) my number 1 priority. I know from my own personal experience how worrisome it can be to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I hope I am someone who can relieve that worry for you.


19. Heather S.

“Heather was kind as was her family. Our dog had a great time with Heather and another house guest dog. He slept like a baby when he got home as he was worn out from all the fun!”


20. Brooke B.
“From an early age Brooke loved animals. Brooke is kind, intelligent & conscientious. She takes wonderful care of my much beloved & very spoiled Boston Terrier.”
