“Natalie took great care of our pets (cat and dog) and our home! She met with us in person prior to the sit, and provided several updates with photos everyday throughout the sit. We appreciate the care she took to ensure we would feel comfortable and confident during our time away from our pets and home. We would definitely welcome here again and highly recommend her for future pet care :)”
“I recently adopted my dog and wasn’t expecting to have to leave her with a sitter less than three weeks in, and was pretty nervous about it. Vanessa put me completely at ease, and my dog, Scarlett, loved her immediately. She sent daily updates and even kept up Scarlett’s daily dog park routine. My cat is a grumpy old man, but Vanessa was great with him as well. If you’re anxious about leaving home, and want to make sure your pets have a caring and calming presence in your absence, then I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Sophia was great! From first contact she was very responsive and easy to schedule with and continued to be very communicative. She sent daily updates and photos and it was clear that my kitties were very happy and comfortable with her. One of my cats is particularly shy, so when I received photos of him head butting her on day 2, I was really able to relax :). We arrived home to a clean home and 2 kitties who were very happy to see us and were clearly loved and well taken care of while we were gone!”
“Jesse took great care of Millie while we were gone and left our home in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the communication and photos. Would def work with Jesse again!”
“Emma has done a fantastic job taking care of Stella and Olive. This was our first time leaving Stella for a week. Olive is an older, pretty chill cavapoo. Stella is a rambunctious lab puppy and Emma was great handling both of them. I received wonderful and most appreciative pictures everyday. I would not hesitate to re-book with Emma in the future.”
“Lacie sat with our dog for one evening. When we returned, our dog was happy and fed and walked and played with. We would ask Lacie to sit for us again.”
“Ally was such a fantastic sitter for our dog Peanut! She kept us updated the entire time she was with him, sent photos, made sure to read and follow all of our care requests, and we were so happy to have someone we could trust. We were so excited to get back to Peanut when our trip ended, but he was just sad to see Ally go! We would definitely recommend her to anyone, and would love to have her back in the future!”
“Katie was amazing. She initiated a meet and greet! She stayed at my home watching my beloved puppy Alabaster. She kept me updated all throughout the time with pictures and updates. When I returned my puppy was more calm when I returned than when I left. I will absolutely have Katie watch Alabaster again.”
About: I’ve taken care of golden retrievers and cats of all kinds since I was very young. Currently at home we have a golden and a cat, they are best friends. I have experience giving meds to dogs, topical medications and ear/eye drops, as well as supplements and vitamins mixed with food. I have experience giving baths and thoroughly drying/brushing them. I have some experience training puppies in the basics. I am currently working a couple of part time jobs while working towards my graduate degree online. I will be accepting requests as they fit into my pre-determined schedule. In your home I will ask you about your level of comfortably as to where I will be spending time with the animals. I will clean the litter box, feed the animals, take them out for walks around the area, or play in your yard if that is preferred.
“I am very pleased to recommend Lauren as a house pet sitter. She provided excellent daily communication and shared delightful pet updates with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Lauren was respectful of our home and followed all the pet care instructions we provided. Her sweet demeanor made her a joy to work with, and it's clear that our pets were well cared for during her stay. I highly recommend her for your house pet sitting needs!”
“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”
“Tess was an amazing pet sitter. She’s friendly, responsible, and trustworthy. She took excellent care of both our dogs and cats. They were all happy and tired when we got home. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of my pets!”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of Slinky. She was very thorough and attentive. She made sure to check in with things I had missed like whether it was okay to give a bit of food or if some Slinky's behavior was normal. She sent lots of cute pictures of Slinky, and left the house in perfect condition. She did great and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I love spending time with dogs and I am the go-to neighborhood dog walker or sitter. I have a soft spot for senior dogs but I love them all. My favorite thing is walking pups on the dog-friendly beach near my house. I’m recently retired so I have plenty of time to look after your furry family members! I can work with your needs to keep your pet safe and happy when you can’t be there. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for walking. We have a large yard and access to a dog-friendly beach. Inside, there plenty of room to roam or relax, and I never object to snuggles on the couch.
“Heather house sat for us for 4 days and did a fantastic job. Our 2 German Shepherds were well cared for and she somehow managed to find all of our favorite local trails without any hints from me. She seemed to have a good read on my dogs! Our house was well cared for during her stay. She even took out the trash/recycling bins to the street before I thought to ask her. I would certainly recommend her to any future clients.”
“Zoe was so great. She took really great care of the pups and was really supportive helping my rescue dog get comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was friendly, flexible with times and very warm with our dog. She played with our dog with dog puzzles on her own initiative and kept us posted with pictures and details throughout the evening. Laura has grown up around animals and is knowledgeable about them. I would certainly ask her to take care of our puppy again.”
“Kara is prompt, responsible, and SO nice. We were nervous leaving our dog at home for the first time but her communication style put us at ease. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life - huskies, goldens, and many types of cats. I raised and house trained a wild kitten last year and love spending time out walking with my two current huskies. I’ve taken care of them through surgeries, injuries and medications. I love animals and care very much about their joy and overall wellbeing. I would love to help get your dogs out walking or to simply spend some time giving some extra love to your furry friends. :) I have a fairly open schedule this summer. Generally, I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings for walks or at home check-ins. Overnight care can be discussed if it is needed, depending on my schedule. I am available to walk, play with, feed, or just watch over your animals if you are away. I love to take my dogs for beach, forest or simple town walks.
