“I cannot recommend Kat enough; my family is forever grateful to her. Prior to the week of Thanksgiving, we hadn't left our pets in the care of a pet sitter for more than a night since my mother moved away and couldn't watch them for us anymore. Every pet parent's worst nightmare happened while we were out of town - our dog, Barkley, had a very serious medical emergency that required multiple emergency vet appointments, one of which was more than an hour and a half drive away and took the entire day. Kat went so far above and beyond to take care of Barkley and keep us informed about what was happening. I am positive that if it wasn't for Kat being so observant, attentive, and generally amazing, Barkley wouldn't have lived long enough for us to get home and say goodbye.”
“Amie was fantastic! Our crew loves her and she went above and beyond for us during flight delays and uncertainty about when we’d get home. We highly recommend her!”
“Emma did a great job caring for our senior dog and cat at our house! She was communicative throughout her stay and we'd be happy to work with her again!”
“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kimberly was great with my little girl. She sent me pictures and updates each day. She also brought in my mail and left my house in great condition. She seemed to truly love spending time with my dog and I can tell my girl was well taken care of.”
“Helen has watched our dog, Henry overnight for a long weekend twice now and has done a great job communicating and sending photos. She dropped off and picked him up from daycare and was able to manage his high energy personality. Would highly recommend!”
“I contacted Ryan last minute for an overnight with my cats & my litter of foster kittens. Ryan was amazing! Cats were well loved & cared for. Ryan was also always in communication with me and sent lots of videos! I will for sure be re-booking for future trips!”
“Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my doggo as well as looking after my place while i was away. Great communication and i appreciated the update pictures of their walks. thank you very much!”
“Amor is a nightmare of a dog with so much energy and no manners! But she absolutely adores Reed and Natalie.. and seems to be one of the only times she calms down and behaves herself. 10000000% recommend them to anyone who needs their pets looked after!”
About: I've loved animals my whole life. I have a lizard which I love dearly, and I grew up with a variety of family pets but I haven’t had a chance to get one on my own. I volunteer to watch my friends and families pets for multiple years, just starting to do it professionally! I hope to utilize this opportunity to get my animal fix while incorporating some exercise! I have experience with senior cats, dogs, including dogs with behavioral issues, as well as lizards, hamsters and the occasional bird or fish. I work another full time job that is a fixed schedule Monday through Friday, so l am capable of working regular hours for your and your pets! This will be a top priority and I am so excited to care for your pet and meet new animal lovers! I have house-sit for multiple friends and family members and I make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure to abide and respect any house rules!

“Anissa did an excellent job of caring for our pets in our home while we were on vacation. I felt confident that our pets were given lots of attention and probably hardly missed us while we were gone. She followed all instructions I gave her for feeding and exercising everyone plus miscellaneous things that had to be done like bring in mail, etc. I highly recommend Anissa - you won’t be sorry!”
About: I have a three year old pitty of my own. I have been taking care of him plus growing up with dogs my entire life since they were puppies. I am currently enrolled full-time in nursing school. Since every day is a little bit different for me, I am flexible regarding your fur babies' needs. Every owner has a different method of caring and loving for their animals, so I am willing to adapt and learn how to care for yours!
“Maelyn watched our 2 dogs for the weekend in our house and has done drop-in visits as well. She is an excellent communicator and clearly loves animals!”
“Claire was wonderful. She came to meet our dog before our trip. Our dog is not a fan of meeting new people but Claire did great with the introduction and there were no issues. She communicated with us throughout our time away and sent numerous photos. Which we loved! I would highly recommend Claire!”
About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets, small pets, aggressive/anxious pets, timid pets. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.
About: Hi I’m Brody, and I am 18 years old. I have two wonderful French bulldogs and a German Shepherd myself, so I’m not a stranger of taking care of dogs. I have built very strong connections with all of them, as I’m looking for with your dog as well. I give them walks very often so I’m well aware of what a dog likes and does during a walk. I guarantee your dog will have a joyful experience. I am working full-time during the summer. I might be booked up with other appointments, but I’m still pretty flexible with times and can move things around, so it can fit with your needs. I always wash my hands in between appointment so I don’t carry over any triggers that might alarm your dog and keep your dog clean and safe. At home, I always look to give my dogs attention and play with them in my yard for good exercise. If there is any specific instructions that you want for your dog's best experience, I would be happy to do so.
