Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.

I can’t say enough great things about Caity! She’s amazing, so nice, and extremely thoughtful. You can tell that animals are her passion. We will be booking with Caity again and again. She’s set the standard so high! Also she takes the best pictures of our pup and we can tell that our dog is so happy when Caity is around. :)

Brent and his wife are seriously amazing. They were beyond kind, sent me many pictures, brought my cats a snack and a toy, and were very descriptive on how my cats were doing. My cats loved them. Leaving pets is very hard, but I was very comfortable leaving them in Brent’s hands.

She is so reliable, easy to contact and provides reassurance that my pets are in good hands. Thank you so much Michelle!!

Jessica recently watched my cat when I was out of town for 8 days and she did an amazing job. She even took the time to come over and meet my kitty before we left to make sure it would be a good fit. She provided thorough updates each time she checked in, along with lots of cute pictures. I felt very relaxed knowing that Jessica was watching my cat who doesn’t like to be alone. She even followed up the day after we got home to check on the cat. Jessica is super trustworthy and great with dogs and cats. I would recommend Jessica 100% to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

About: I had been a dog owner since i took my first steps! There is always a special place in my heart for pups and cats. As a dog mom I want to provide the same level of care that I expect for my own Finny boy. I work from home and have my pup Finn here who goes on regular walks and takes naps throughout the day. I have regularly scheduled breaks to walk the pups, let them into the yard, or turn on the water toys! I have a fenced yard with concrete, a deck, and wood chips. There is plenty of shade if the pups prefer to be outside. Inside the home the pups are limited to the main living areas where I am nearby at all times. Meet and greet required to make sure everyone is happy including the pups and parents. 😊

About: I have cared for family friend pets for years, dog sitting while friends are away and cat sitting for mothers of the kids I coach. It is always amazing to care for animals and give them a loving presence while their family is gone. Looking forward to meeting you I often work from home, so I have availability to care for your pets. I do same day bookings but appreciate some notice for planning the day. I’m a responsible, conscientious, and very clean house sitter. I don’t smoke or drink. I’m happy to care for plants and bring in mail and packages. I work from home, so I’m usually easy to get a hold of and available to take care urgent needs.

I have a unique situation with my dog. She’s a forever foster under my car, however I am required to follow specific rules and adhere to policies by the third party rescue facility. That being said, Tiff is one of the few people I ask to help assist me in caring for my dog. Tiff is very reliable and a great caretaker to Meadow. I would trust tiff with anyone’s pets!

Suna took great care of my 3 kitties while I was in Hawaii for 7 days! They have special health needs, and Suna made sure they received the proper care. She also brushed the long-haired cat to help prevent hair balls. She sent me photos every day. Suna graciously agreed to bring in my mail as well! I’d definitely recommend Suna for pet-sitting.

Lucy has been dropping in to care for my sweet little Roux half way through the day since I work outside of my home all day. She’s been such a relief to me as I know she cares and loves little Roux so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I will continue to source Lucy to care for my pup!

Serena was a life saver. We had another sitter booked who had to drop out the day before our trip and I was scrambling to find a replacement last minute. Serena was super responsive and returned my message within minutes. She was so easy to coordinate with, flexible, kind, thoughtful and very detailed. She sent photos and updates and let us know the status of each visit. I will definitely be asking for Serena’s help for any future pet sitting needs!

Emily always refers to her dog Chalupa as her baby, which makes sense since she is the most dedicated dog mom. She provides attention, love, and care to her animals and is always reading their nonverbal cues to address any needs they might have. Did a playful puppy all of a sudden get quiet and walk to the door? Then it's time for a walk. What about overt table begging? Then somebody needs to eat breakfast! Emily's dog Chalupa also gets along great will all types of dogs, and can either be a play mate or a cuddle buddy.
