Tatum is so great! She is very responsive and attentive. Our two boys just love her! She is definitely our new go-to after our last sitter‘s moved out of the area. We are excited to book her again – the dogs are too!

Dominique was great with Lily. Lily can be a bit stubborn but worked hard to gain her trust. Sent lots of pictures. We were just glad Lily was able to stay in her house.

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

This was Courtney's first time to sit for me. She was very attentive to my babies and sent me photos on a daily basis. I appreciate her care and we'll be using her in the future!

About: I am currently in college studying to become a veterinarian and have three dogs of my own, River, Ruger, and Rusty. I love all animals, large or small. I work part time, so I have pretty open availability on weekdays as well as weekends. I am always available on Sunday’s, early mornings, or evenings. I have two friendly dogs that would love to play if in my home. At your home, I would care for your fur babies the way you would advise me to.

Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.

This was my first time using Felicia. She did a great job, communicated well, & sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. She followed instructions and spent time outside with my dog, which he loves. I'm glad she was able to dog sit and look forward to having her do it again soon!

About: I have absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was young. I strive for pet sitting and care to be more than a passion but a career path. I’m more than willing to dedicate my time into making what can be a stressful time for both owners and pets alike enjoyable and rewarding! I have experience with furry friends who take time with new people, and with our over joyful and excited friends! Having the patience, time, energy and dedication needed for building a relationship with your pet thats lasting! I have cared for all sizes and personalities of furry pets for the past 15 years for many neighbors, family members, and friends growing up! It has remained my favorite job and past time for as long as I can remember, as it allows for me to be surrounded by a community of wonderful people and loving animals. Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to work with a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide last minute scheduling and holiday scheduling for pet owners! With minimal adjustments to hours and available days! I have a large fenced in yard for my two dogs, and have spent years learning how to play and interact with them in our space together! Even providing them with a separate space to cool off and relax away from the chaos of children, making sure they’re never to overwhelmed! Having pets has taught me some wonderful games such as tug of war, fetch, and keep away (a house favorite). I’ve learned with time that “animal lead play” is a wonderful way to get any fur baby to interact on a level they’re comfortable with. Offering opportunities for bonds and trust to form between us!

Danielle was fantastic! She took such great care of my pet and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly responsible and always responsive—any time I had a question, she got back to me quickly. I especially appreciated the daily updates with photos, which showed my baby eating well and looking happy. It was clear Danielle truly cared and went the extra mile. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive petsitter!

This was our first experience with David. At the initial meeting, our dog, Rose, quickly warmed up to him. David proved to be very attentive, maintaining open communication and sending regular photo updates. Our home was left in the same condition as when we departed. We will certainly utilize David's services again.

Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!
