Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

Mandy, thank you for loving on our pooch! 🐾 He is ALWAYS excited to see you—those happy photos say it all. Teddy-Duke says you’re officially family now! We truly appreciate how you always try to squeeze us in, even at a moment’s notice during emergencies. Your flexibility, kindness, and genuine care mean more to us than you know. We’re so grateful to have you and couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our fur baby. Thank you for everything you do! 💛

I'm very pleased that Jamalia attends to my cat's needs, like providing Ruby with fresh water and cleaning her litter. She also spends time playing with Ruby before leaving my house. Ruby appears relaxed around her and seems to like her.

We are so glad to have chosen Danielle to check in on our cat, Mo. She’s a really nice gal and more importantly Mo approved……and he’s not easy to please! She visited everyday and sent us pics. We’d definitely use her services again if we need to!

Very good experience. This is my first time having a kitten and my first time being away for a couple days. Meghan was extremely punctual when meeting. The pictures she took of my kitten were the most cute and precious pictures. I felt great reassurance that she was ok. My kitten was a litttle stressed when returning, but I can tell from the pictures that Meghan gave great comfort to my kitten and I really appreciate it. Would recommend.

I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.

About: Imagine getting paid to do the best thing in the world. For me, the best thing in the world is taking care of animals, so becoming a pet sitter was a no-brainer! My name is Caroline, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm a dog mom to a very sweet basenji named Jordy. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I value prompt, efficient communication, so you can always reach me by phone and trust you’ll get a quick reply.

Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!

Our pet sitter went above and beyond every expectation. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and understanding, and it was clear they genuinely cared about our pets. Communication was excellent, and they made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable!

This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙

I tend to get very worried about leaving my sweet old lady alone. Sarah made me feel comfy right away at the meet and greet (still love that cute puppy shirt hahaha). While she was hanging out with Sylvia, she took lots of pictures and videos, kept me updated the whole time she was there, and just made me feel so much better about the entire situation. I'll definitely use her again!
