Kat was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog, so we were nervous about how it would go. Those fears very quickly flew away, because Kat went above and beyond in so many ways!! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. We will definitely use her again!

Dani did a great job with my pets. I came home to very happy critters. She really goes above and beyond with things like watering plants and getting the mail as well. She was also good about sending me pictures every day. It really gave me peace of mind. I can't recommend Dani enough. Truly top notch care for pets and home.

Kensey was incredible! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Our kitchen is cleaner than how I left it and she even left a gift for us. I would 110% hire Kensey again and trust her with my fur babies. Definitely hire her to watch your fur babies!

Abigail is the best! My dog, Dottie, is a very anxious girl and she warmed up to Abigail after only a couple minutes during our meet and greet. She sent pictures the entire time I was away and took such amazing care of Dottie. I would recommend her for any dogs and will definitely have her comeback to take care of my girl the next time I need an overnight sitter.

About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.

About: I have taught my dog multiple tricks and continue working on separation anxiety and reactivity. Since getting my dog I have learned a great deal about dog food, behavior, and training. I've always had love for animals, and have had a dog in the house since I was 4 years old ranging from small dogs too big dogs. Growing up I would binge animal planet and had hopes of being a veterinarian. Now as an adult, I have had Midas for 3 years. I treat every new dog I meet with respect, and of course love. I've learned to be able to adapt my energy and interactions with different dogs depending on their personality. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely fur-baby! I will be un-employed from my seasonal lawn and landscaping job starting December 12th. I will be returning to that job sometime April 1st. I also plan on starting an odd jobs side hustle during the winter months. So if i become too busy from odd jobs I will adjust my availability accordingly and stay available for constant communication to ensure no scheduling conflicts. Christmas and new years (December 22nd- January 2) will be limited availability. February 14-21 i will be on a trip to Arizona. I take my dog for a jog every morning, at least one walk, to our little dog park at the apartment two times per day, and the big dog park a couple of times per week. We go on adventures together and explore different walking paths and nature trails. We feed him once a day and ensure he does a series of tricks and waits for the "ok" command before he can eat. We feed him a three way mix of fresh pet, Dr. Harveys, Meats, and Kibble. I intend to provide a healthy and fulfilled life full of play and love for my dog, and I will treat your dog the same.

This was my first time using ANY dog service to sit with my separation anxiety ridden fur baby and I have to say I was MORE than impressed with Jaime!!! She truly is a Dog Whisperer and knows her canines well. Kobe immediately warmed up to her and made a new two legged human friend??. Jaime is a kind , knowledgeable person who definitely has that special energy that both people and especially dogs appreciate. It’s something you have or you don’t…you can’t buy it. I am so glad that I found her as she is now my GO TO for sitting with my 9 year old boy. LOVE HER!!!!! And Kobe LOVES HER TOO!!!!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I understand their different needs, behaviors, and routines at every stage. Growing up, I cared for several of my neighbors’ pets and have been pet sitting in my community every summer since. I’m currently a senior in undergrad, so my class schedule is pretty light and flexible. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, and I’m very active, so I love going on walks and spending time outside with them. I live in a neighborhood with a dog park, easy access to a trail, and sidewalks that are perfect for walks. While I don’t have a large yard or crate, there is plenty of space in my home to accommodate one if needed. Dogs are welcome in any room and on furniture, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m an active college student who loves being outdoors, especially hiking and long walks near the parks around me. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or just relax with some cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for! My schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I currently work part-time as a hostess, but I’m usually available Monday through Friday throughout the day. Starting June 8, I will be in summer classes Monday-Friday 9 AM to 12 PM. If you need care outside those times, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work something out! I live in a spacious apartment with access to a fenced-in rooftop yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I’m also close to Griffy Lake, so your dog can enjoy fun walks and outdoor adventures with me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Theresa went above and beyond taking care of our babies. It snowed 14” the day we left and turned bitter cold. She shoveled a path off the back deck and in the yard so the girls could do their business then cleaned it up daily to keep the area clear. PLUS, she paid someone to clear the sidewalk and driveway from her own pocket. Theresa communicated daily with pictures. She was wonderful!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Theresa was amazing with Stanley. I appreciated the fact that she requested a meet-and-greet prior to the sitting to make sure they’d get along well. During the sitting Theresa provided daily updates and pictures that showed how much fun Stanley was having with her. Theresa was super responsive and even offered to water the house plants and take out the garbage. Stanley has some medical needs and personality quirks and Theresa was very accommodating and followed all instructions to a T. I cannot recommend this sitter enough! I will absolutely rebook Theresa in the future.

Theresa stayed with our very nervous dog Adelaide for four days and it was an amazing experience. She is attentive and communicative. I felt so secure and confident knowing that she was here with our little girl.
