1. Kristine R.
“Kristine watched our pups in our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving our dogs alone with someone so I was a little nervous. Kristine came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs took to her right of way and I felt all my worries fade away. She is genuine, compassionate, competent and attentive. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of my pups and I was able to enjoy our little getaway! I feel confident now to book longer trips that are farther away with my home and pups in Kristine’s care!”
2. Taylor D.
“Taylor was wonderful! This was the first time I left my pup with someone who was not a family member. She took the best care of Gus and kept in contact regarding how he was doing. I received daily photos and videos while I was away.”
3. Julie G.
“Julie did a wonderful job taking care of Minnie. She stayed at our house a couple of nights and I came home to a happy well taken care of dog and my house was exactly as I left it. She checked in daily with pictures and updates of how Minnie was doing. I would recommend her to anyone.”
4. Caitlynn L.
“Caitlynn has dog and house-sat for us before. Our pets love her, and we always trust her to take good care of them. She always leaves the house nice and tidy, you wouldn’t know anyone had stayed there! We will continue to ask Caitlynn to sit for us, and we will recommend her to friends and family.”
5. Akia B.
“This was a big move for us, we have never left our littles, nor had anyone stay in our home! Akia was just who we needed. She kept us updated and assured us that all was well. The peace of mind was so important!”
6. Bre B.
“Above and beyond with my 2 dogs! My smallest is cautious with new people but Bre took the time and my dogs fell in love with her! Will book again.”
7. Nicole M.
“We got Nicole for the second time to watch over our fur babies. And we had another great experience. She baked treats for them and too great care of our babies. No issues 😊”
8. Donald B.
“I have a high energy hunting dog that’s iffy on people, but she was instantly in love with Donny. However I shouldn’t have been surprised since I’ve seen over and over again how much he puts into his own two fur babies. His biggest concern is making sure they’re taken care of and showered with love and affection. I know my girl is in good hands with him and your babies will be too.”
9. Madisen W.
“Madisen was great! My girl is protective and Madisen was able to make her comfortable super quickly! She also came through for me pretty last minute. Absolutely will be using her again! Thank you so much Madisen- Layla is looking forward to hanging out with you again!”
10. Gwenyvere P.
“Gwen is hands down the best pet sitter I have ever had! I was gone for a week and she made sure to walk my golden retriever and make his special dinner every night as well as change out the litter box for my kitty! She even went the extra mile to hold my snake :) I have never met anyone who loves and cares for animals as much as Gwen does - 100/10 recommend!”
11. Jasmine C.
“Jasmine has been my friend most of my life. I remember when we were in highschool and we had a senior project. We had to do a service project. She chose the humane society and has been working with animal ever since! that was 20 years ago. she is perfect for this job”
12. Samuel C.
“Once again Sam did a great job! He kept our babies happy. Our house was just as we left it (actually a little better). Can’t thank him enough. It’s been such a relief to know we have someone that can help out when needed. Thank you Sam!”
13. Alexus U.
“We really enjoyed having Alexus stay at our house and watch Quila. They really got along and they are best friends!!! We will definitely rebook her when we need a sitter!!!”
14. Alexandra M.
“Alex watched our 3 pups for a long weekend while we were out of town. She took great care of them, they were all happy and healthy when we returned. Will definitely be using again!”
15. Evans C.
“I am so thankful for Evan’s and the wonderful care he provides for my dog, Ori. From the start, he has been professional, reliable, and so kind to my pup. I always feel at ease knowing that Ori is in good hands, whether it’s a walk or a day of sitting. The regular updates and photos are a nice touch, and it’s clear that Evans truly loves animals. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog sitter or walker!”
16. Josie J.
“She is very professional, and she is a women of her word, she is always on time and takes the upmost care of my dogs. She is truly the best person for your dogs if you need a sitter.”
17. Coreena C.
“Coreena was great ! Did a wonderful job Pets and housesitting. We have multiple rescue pets some with illness and meds. We were comforted that Coreena could care for our animals because she is a vet tech. Not having to board them is such a relief! Our Rescues do not do well with boarding due to anxiety and past experiences. Highly recommend Coreena and will be rehired for future pet and housesitting needs.”
18. Natalie M.
“Natalie was outstanding! She went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. Most importantly she spent a lot of time with my senior dog who just wants constant cuddles. Thanks Natalie!”
19. Krista N.
About: I have been raised around both cats and dogs all of my life and I look forward to taking care of yours! Just like humans, each and every pet has their own personality and style. I will adapt to your pet’s wants and needs. I will love and care for your precious fur babies as if they were my very own! Not only will I provide excellent care to your pet, but I will also collect the mail, take out the trash, and keep both the house and yard clean while you are away! I do work full time (7:00 AM - 4:00 PM) Monday through Friday. However, I can be available after 4:00 PM Monday-Friday. I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday! Although I do not have a fenced yard, I do live in a gated neighborhood that requires all dogs to be kept on a leash when being walked outdoors. I also own a 1.5 year old Pomeranian who is full of energy and super social, guaranteed to keep your fur baby entertained - if both you and your pet are comfortable with that!
