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!

Joe was great with our dog Junior, very attentive, very punctual, we could tell our dog Junior really liked spending time with him. We will definitely be using him the next time we need a sitter. We couldnt have been happier and more at ease. He was great!!

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.

Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.

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.

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!

Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.

Hope house sat and watched my dog while I was out of town for 6 nights. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent daily updates (and also she was very friendly). Hope left my house as clean as when she arrived, and my dog was very happy with all of the attention and exercise she received. I would recommend Hope for house sitting in the future and will be happy to have her watch Kaya again!

My dog is terrified of thunderstorms and I reached out to Becca to provide company for him during a potential storm. She did a great job with my dog and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely use Becca again in the future and recommend her to anyone else.

Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.

Brandon was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a natural connection with dogs—Luna and Rosie were completely at ease with him in a way we rarely see with others. It honestly felt like having a true dog whisperer in our home. He was punctual, professional, and carried himself with a calm confidence that made the entire experience effortless. Knowing how our dogs typically react to new people, this level of comfort and trust meant everything to us. We would absolutely book Brandon again without hesitation, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, intuitive, and genuinely gifted with animals.
