Matt is wonderful to stay with our pup. We even noticed our husky was sad that he left after the last stay of almost 2 weeks. Sends updates, can replace bulbs, and is a supper kind animal person!

We've never been gone from our pets for two weeks before. When our usual pet sitter told us she was unavailable, we were hesitant in finding new ones for such a long trip. Alexia and Jay were incredible. They had the best attention to detail, care, and love for our animals as if they were their own. Day 1, one of our dogs hurt his back legs somehow and they took him to the ER for us just to be sure. Never a complaint once. It was all smooth sailing after that. We got so many pictures and videos multiple times a day. Very responsive and available for any and all questions. They even went above and beyond to reset the house a bit before we came home. They take this very seriously which made our trip much less stressful. Thank you so much! Can't wait to book you again.

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.

We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and our original dog walker unexpectedly got sick. We had to scramble to find someone reliable to stay at our home and care for our dog, Quincy. We’re so grateful for Jennifer and her family for stepping in! She was incredibly dependable, kept Quincy’s routine consistent, and showed him so much love — as if he were her own. I really appreciated how flexible she and her family were with our last-minute request. Highly recommend booking her!

Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have two dogs and a cat of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets when they're away, and I'm often the first person they call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I treat every animal as if they are my own. I just love animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as I just graduated college and am looking for a full time job. I am available throughout the day, any day of the week typically!! When caring for pets in your home, I will follow their normal routines, make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.

About: I have 7 pets and I love each of them so dearly and I would love to spread my love to your animal! It’s incredibly important to me that your pet feels safe and loved. Typically, my pet care usually takes place in the afternoons or evening. However, I always like to keep a flexible schedule so I can make it work for your furry friend! I ensure that all pets have used the bathroom, ate an appropriate amount of food and have plenty of comfortable sleeping areas while also keeping away dangerous foods or objects.

About: I've lived with dogs since I was born, being able to responsibly care for them even as a kid. I've taken care of the dogs of my neighbor and family friends plenty of times, but even when I'm home I always do the same job. Walk/run, play, feed, water, medicate. Whether it's a grapefruit sized chihuahua or a polar bear sized pyrenees, I've got you covered. Whether they're energetic, shy, or old, I'm here for them all the same. I'll be a junior at Kent State University this fall and I'm looking for work this summer from 5/11 to 8/17. I'm a college student with no part or full time summer job, my availability is always up for discussion whether it's the morning, afternoon, or multiple overnight stays. If I agree to a job, I'm going to come through and finish it. You won't see me flaking out on an opportunity to see dogs. So long as I have a rundown of what I need to do and where everything I need to complete the job is, you can count on me to respect your home and your family. Dogs are always family, they deserve to be treated as such. I'll be sure to write down specific rules about crating or separating multiple dogs when feeding you might have if you haven't written them for me.

About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one sweet cat and two fun pups! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and always willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’ve just finished a work contract and have a flexible schedule for the next few months. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates!
