“I’m so thankful we found Robin to keep our puppy and cats while we were away! I’m always so nervous leaving them but the frequent picture updates really gave me peace of mind to be able to enjoy my vacation. It was so nice to come home and everything already be taken care of. I could tell all our babies were happy and had all been well cared for. She has our full recommendation!”


2. Ashley J.

“I am so happy that Ashley came to take care of our spoiled little babies. My dog Jack has the worst separation anxiety of any animal that I’ve ever known. He can’t be left alone, he will stress out so much, making himself sick and tearing up and house. Once he even chewed up the brass door knob. Ashley was absolutely wonderful with him, she was so patient and attentive to him. I thought our new Siamese kitten was going to worry her most but he was just playful and happy. All 3 of my animals were so well taken care of, if you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. I will use her again and I will recommend her to everyone that I know 🥰”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young, I have almost always been surrounded by pets and have been taking care of them. I also have pet sit other family members pets. I always do my best to go above and beyond for any animal in my care. Now I’ll admit I haven’t done it professionally just yet and hoping to have the chance to do so. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, rabbits, small rodents, and even horses. I am a social worker and do services in clients homes during the day, I have a flexible schedule but I do see my clients during the day, so I will not be a good fit if your pet needs all day care. However, I am available for check-in visits and overnight stays. I cannot keep any pets in my home because it’s a rental. At your place I will make sure to go by any scheduling you have for food, walks, and playtime. If you don’t have set scheduling that’s ok as well, I will provide your pet in any way you say is needed.


9. Rebecca C.
“I know Rebecca well. She gets involved in the animal's lives she is connected with. She works hard to meet the physical and psychological needs of the animal she is working with. She really gets to know the animals. After she takes care of an animal she knows them well enough to write a profile on them. She is caring and compassionate with all of her personal animals which are several species. This helps her meet the needs of any animal she is care for quite well. She is an awesome Caretaker for critters”

20. Tatiana C.
“Tatiana is a very loving pet owner. She has one dog of her own and is always playing with him, taking him out, and taking silly photos of him. I have a deaf dog and a blind dog and whenever she comes over to see them they love her like no other. She helps my blind one around the house even though I reassure her that he’s okay she makes sure he gets where he needs. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets. They will be in good hands.”
