1. Jordin S.
“Jordin is who you want watching your pets. I am a nervous nelly about leaving my pets and having Jordin be our sitter put my mind at ease. First of all, she followed the instructions to a tee, secondly, she went above and beyond to keep our house in exactly the state we left it. I am so impressed with Jordin and the way she cared for our pets. In the photos she sent I could tell that my dogs and cats really love her! I will be using Jordin again every time we go out of town.”
2. Haley Z.
“Haley is so nice. My Dogs took to her almost immediately even my one who doesn’t like most people. She sent me pictures while I was away and just gave me overall peace of mind my dogs were safe.”
3. Christina M.
About: I have feeding, walking, playing and poop cleaning experience. I have been around small and large, young and old dogs most of my life. I know all are different in their needs but they all need love and I can provide that. I have no other job so I have all the time needed for your pet. I'm available days, nights, weekends and emergency care available. I haven't had a pet not like me yet. I can follow any routine already set in place. I can give extra time and love to any animal. I will not take the care of your member of the family lightly.
4. Faye & Guy R.
“Faye was a great dog sitter! She was on time, communicative, and flexible with our changing schedule. Our dog was on medication that prohibited strenuous exercise and Faye was very mindful of taking short and calm walks with our dog. I would definitely use Faye again next time I am in the area.”
5. Ilia K.
“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”
6. Maria C.
“Appreciate all the help to care for our young puppy and animals in our home. The updates were much appreciated! It helped make our first trip away from home reassuring.”
7. Emily C.
“Emily was amazing! We contacted her short notice to hang with our anxious pup while we enjoyed a night out on vacation. She was excellent with communication and our dog was immediately comfortable with her. We would absolutely re-book if paths cross again!”
8. Julia P.
“Julia is a communicative, responsive and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my high-maintenance dog while I traveled abroad for an extended period of time. She put my anxiety about the process to bed within the first couple of days. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.”
9. Joshua T.
“Josh was wonderful! Kept our active border collies busy and well exercised and kept us updated with photos and messages. Will definitely call Josh again in the future!”
