This is the second time we had Danette sit with our dog. She is wonderful! She gave us daily updates and was very patient with our shy dog. We recommend her highly and hope she is available the next time we need a puppy sitter!

Great experience with Allegra. She took excellent care of my pups and kept the house spotless. The dogs were in such a good mood when I returned, which tells me everything I need to know. Will definitely book again!

Mark was awesome. Miss Molly got lots of walks & apparently behaved herself. My house was spotless when I got home. Mark sent lots of pictures. I am confident Mark is trustworthy and loves animals. Sure hope he is available when I need to travel!

Michele did a great job watching our Livia while we were in CA. We were very comfortable knowing she was well taken care of. Michele took Livia for a morning walk daily and kept us updated with pictures and notes. She is highly recommended and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Becca is a very responsible, trusting, kind caregiver. She took care of our two dogs for 8 days in our home and we returned to very well cared for happy dogs and a very well cared for home. We have always boarded our dogs and this was our first time using a in-home service. We couldn’t have had a better experience. I’ve already asked Becca if she is available for two more of our upcoming trips this year. 5 stars

About: I have had Pers my whole life, and I am a very well - versed person when it comes to dogs. I constantly watch people’s dogs / walk them when needed. Especially during summertimes. I am good with taking care of older dogs and walking at their pace. I am currently home from school for the summertime, I am taking classes in the meantime but I love to spend time with nature. Dogsitting fits into my schedule because I like to get up early and take care of my priorities and I count animals as one of them I value pets the same way, if not more, to other people. I see pets as another me, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them because i set such a high value for them. I think pets are one of the best things in our lives, and I wouldn’t want anything to harm that.

Judith and her daughter Cynthia did a fantastic job caring for my cat Bunky and my house. She stayed here with him for 11 days while I was traveling and he was very happy with her company. She let him get to know her at his own pace and provided extra care for him as he is blind. I'd recommend Judith and Cynthia to anyone needing pet care, and I'll definitely ask them back to take care of him the next time I travel.

Friendly, professional, and good with the cats (especially with our challenging, but sweet, boy). What more could you ask for? Lauren kept us informed and shared pictures so we knew all three cats were well cared for. Would definitely book with her again!
