1. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.

“Jayden was amazing with our two dogs Lola and Phyllis while on a week long trip. Their communication was great, sent great pictures, and updates, and took care of our house during a week of snow. They shoveled and salted even. Jayden was accommodating to a flight delay as well. Our dogs seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend Jayden. We will use them again!!”


2. Malcomn F.

“Malcolmn did a terrific job taking care of our two big dogs in our home. He kept us well-informed about their activities and left the place super tidy. Highly recommend Malcolmn!”


3. Alexa B.

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“She was great!!! Took care of copper like we would!!! Will definitely use her again”


5. Kathryn C.

“Kathryn was so wonderful! She took great care of our senior cat with special needs, and our rowdy, energetic young beagle mix. She kept in touch every day, and sent lots of photos. Our house can get a little messy with my cats litter boxes, plus he's a bit incontinent. But we returned home to an immaculate house, with very happy fur babies. We're so grateful, and will definately book Kathryn again! 100%”

“Wow Karen is great with animals. She is extremely friendly and patient when getting to meet new pets. Karen has two dogs of her own that she takes great care of and loves. I trust Karen with watching my dog Daisy, a pitbull mix, any day as I know Karen will keep Daisy safe and happy. Karen also loves to play with animals! All around she is great with animals and she is very passionate about their care!”

“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”


11. Gabrielle P.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received while we were away! Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure they were well-loved, exercised, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which made our time away even more enjoyable. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”


12. Travis P.
“I can't recommend Travis enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter and dog walker! He has an incredible way with animals—whether it's dogs, cats, or even the more exotic pets, every creature instantly warms up to him. Travis is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves all animals, which shows in how happy and relaxed pets are in his company. If you want the peace of mind to know that your pets are with someone who is as concerned and careful about their well-being as you are, look no further!”


13. Jaynin M.
“Jaynin has always had a strong love for animals, starting his own in home pet care service at a young age. Some would say he loves animals more than people. If you asked him he’d deny it every time but we, including him, all know the truth. He will go out of his way always for the comfortability of any animal no matter what kind!”


14. Khia S.


“Khia was wonderful. Our animals were excited to see us but sad for Khia to go. She also left the house very neat and followed all our “strict” rules. Would use again”

16. Alexandra G.
“Alex loves animals and I felt comfortable knowing my babies would be safe and well taken care of with her! I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone to look after your pets as if they were her own.”


17. Alaedja J.
About: My calm demeanor works best with those that are old, skittish, or just wanting a comforting presence. For those with high energy I will happily play with them to their hearts content so you can come home to a calm and content pet. Currently, my schedule allows for me to be available in the mornings as early as 7am. Evenings until 10 are negotiable if more time is required. To give your pet the best care I require a rundown of your pets daily life and any special needs they may have so as to do that to keep to their schedule.




18. JoAnn D.
“I have known JoAnn for years now. she often times will take care of my animals when I am out of time. When she visits my dog runs to the door and is always happy to see her! she loves to go for walks and JoAnn is always willing to lend a hand. she is also a sitter for my daughter. she is kind and thoughtful and always puts others first. she is a selfless person who has a big heart. I trust her with my kids and my fur children also. she is trustworthy and cares deeply.”


19. Daniel Z.
“I know Daniel as someone who is very sweet, kind, and attentive to animals. He has hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and even more exotic creatures. Giving them the utmost care and necessary attention, he always goes above and beyond with animals!”
