3. Sara B.
“Sara was great to work with and took great care of my kitty while my husband an I was gone for a week and even got our mail for us while we were gone. She sent photos of her interactions with our kitty and went out of her way to drop by and look for, and find, a wallet that our friend had lost. I highly recommend Sara if you want peace of mind while you're away.”

6. Angela D.
“Angela was absolutely amazing. After having a bad experience with a previous sitter that resulted in the loss of one of our boys, Angela truly made us feel at ease. She was in constant communication and truly treated them as if they were her own. Our one dog has health conditions that has resulted in lack of bladder control and Angela didn't hesitate to clean up after him going above and beyond she even cleaned up the rager that our Houdini through when he escaped his kennel during the night. We are so thrilled to have found Angela and will continue to use her in the future.”

“Ever since I’ve known Janell, she’s been a loving, responsible, and amazing animal caretaker. She has always made strides to make sure there is balance between customer and animal needs. Definitely one of the most reliable, and trustworthy animal caretakers I’ve had the experience of meeting.”
8. Ashlyn H.
About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!
9. Shannon W.
“Shannon was so very helpful for our last minute need for a drop-in on Christmas day! Our usual sitter didnt respond to our booking request AGAIN & this is the second time we've used Shannon on a last minute notice. I felt super bad because it was Christmas, but she accepted the job & gave our golden retriever lots of love. Thank you so much Shannon, we'll be firing our usual sitter & going with you from now on!”
10. Kiana W.
About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 2+ years. I offer many in home services, more than just pet sitting/walking. I offer nail trims, anal gland expression, ear cleaning and more! I am available weekdays and weekends. I would love to be able to help you out with your fur baby or fur babies! Let me know how I can help! I am unable to bring other peoples animals into my home due to my own dogs. I am available to come to peoples homes to care for them from the comfort of their own place.
11. Sierra C.
“Sierra has watched my cat and both of my dogs several times and I couldn't be more pleased. She treats them with so much love and takes the time to play with them. She takes pet sitting to a new standard. My dogs were exhausted when I got back home and made it super easy to get them to go to bed. I would definitely recommend Sierra and intend to use her again when I need a sitter or drop in call.”
