Mallory did an amazing job taking care of our dog and 4 cats! She checked in regularly and sent pictures to keep us updated while we were away. Having Mallory come to the house was the best—much less stressful than boarding for our cats. We would rebook Mallory and recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets for my whole life, and have been a go-to sitter for my family and friends for the last five years. I love spending time with animals! I’m currently working full time, but I’m available before work, in the afternoons, and in the evenings to walk dogs and stop in to feed and spend time with them! While I don’t have the space to board pets, I am dedicated to making sure your space remains a clean, safe environment for your pets

Bailey is amazing!! She cared for our doggies and cat like we would and they love her. She also looked after our home which was an added bonus and so appreciated! Being gone for an extended period of time and come home to a clean house - again so very much appreciated- above and beyond the call - thank you and we will definitely be booking again

Moriah was amazing! Responded immediately to a last minute (2-day) notice to house sit for an entire week! Moriah gave us updates and photos everyday of the dogs, who seemed to be having a great time. Our back house doesn't even look like someone was here. 100 percent would recommend and will use Moriah again for future needs!

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

Kayla did a wonderful job with Tori. She also watched my house. She texted and sent pictures every day, while I was away. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting!

Emma was very responsive on check-ins. She took such good of our four furry babies while we were gone, providing my wife and I complete peace of mind. ❤️

I was so nervous to leave our 13 year old fur baby as both my husband and I were going out of town for work. Jessica took all of my worries away. Her updates and upbeat attitude helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely trust her to watch our sweet boy again! I am so thankful for her!
