1. Kathryn C.
“Kathryn is a very reliable person, she toke care of my kittens extremely well, cleaning, brushing and feeding them properly and with extreme punctuality as committed. I would look for her next time for sure.”
2. Toni C.
“Toni was fantastic! She knew exactly how to approach our sassy senior ladies. She’s obviously a cat person. They took to her so well! They are not cuddly to strangers and by the end of the week, she was getting “hugs” and they were enjoying chin scratches. They are normally less than interested in playing and she had them engaged with the laser light. Toni was great with keeping us updated with thorough report cards and lots of pictures. She is also very good at communicating. We couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to using her again!”
3. Melissa B.

7. Shayna T.
“Shayna has probably been one of the best sitters I’ve ever had period. Extremely attentive to my pup and cat and always so detailed with her visits. My cat was even eating my new plant and she hid it from him to make sure it wasn’t destroyed by the time I can back 😂. Have nothing but trust every time she watches the animals.”
8. Guillermina L.
“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”
9. Brandon S.
“Brandon will go above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfortability, obviously, including the pets! Any time I step out the house for work I know he is someone I can count on. He has taken the best care of my dog and cats in the past. His communication is clear and evidently mature. He is a well-mannered person that has experience with working with animals. I would highly recommend booking with him.”

11. Sandy M.
About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.
12. Divanna E.
About: I have been taking care of friends and family members cats and dogs for a few years now, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities and care needs. I have a flexible work schedule that gives me availability to drop in to check on your pet, board your pet, and/or house sit. I can travel to any part of the city. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I would follow the instructions of the client, respect their space and their belongings, and leave behind a tidy space. I am not able to board/care for your pets in my own home at this time. I have a new cat that is still getting acclimated to my home.
13. Danielle R.
“Danielle Rupert is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Very loving and caring spirit. She has a special love for animals and wants them to be treated with the utmost care. Attentive to animals and their needs.”
14. Dawn W.
About: I currently live with 2 dogs 5 cats a prarie dog, 2 chickens and a cockatoo. I was raised with horses, dogs and many other farm animals. I like to take long walks daily, so the dogs are always welcome. I recently retired so I have a flexible schedule. Im able to work weekends and longer stays for example if owners go on a trip without their animals. Im willing to do whatever it takes to make your animals feel comfortable while you are away. Obviously I hope all animals are UTD on vaccines and flea/tick treatments if I will be taking them outside.
15. Susan G.
About: Looking for a unique dog sitting experience? I love chilling with fur babies when they're tired and making sure they have an amazing time. Your pups will enjoy their stay. Plus, they'll have the company of my friendly doberman and wiener dog! My dobies name is Odin and my wiener dogs name is Poppi or you can also call her Moomoo. I've grown up with dogs for years and have lots of experience dog sitting for friends and their friends' pups too. I work from home twice a week, usually Thursdays and Fridays. I work the usual 9-5 Monday thru Friday so I have time on my weekends to have some extra fun with furry friends. I have an open home for puppers. I do have a doberman and a mini dachshund so I like to make sure they have a safe home to play in and even relax. This is their world so we make sure their home is puppy proof for them along with others.

“Carole is a great caretaker of pets. She has over 30 years of experience caring for animals. She is very attentive and courteous towards dogs and cats alike. Making sure to give them plenty of loving attention and attune to their needs is her strong suit.”
17. Claire K.
“Claire is amazing. I have 2 dogs. 1 little guy that is 8years old and 1 big boy that is 2 years old. Claire was our dog walker for a long time when we were away from home. The dogs see her and are so happy. Sometimes I think they will wag their tails off. Claire has also watched our dogs while we’re on vacation. She is very trust worth. The dogs were fed on time, she let music play to keep them company, they were walked several times a day. When we came home the dogs knew more tricks… ❤️Claire she is amazing animal caregiver.”
