1. Linda W.
“Linda stayed with our 2 boys in our home while we were out of town for the weekend. We have mini poodles and they are 1 yr old and 4 months old. They are very energetic and require a lot of time and attention - especially as we're still in the puppy phase! Linda was amazing. She dedicates her time to the home she is sitting at and stays overnight. She was not phased by puppyhood. My boys were happy and well cared for, as was our house. We will use her again!”
2. Joann H.
“JoAnn was wonderful. She took great care of our house and our Daisy. She’s so kind to animals and very responsible. We were gone for five nights and she provided text updates and photos each day. I’d definitely use her again”
3. Barbara S.
“We adopted our dog during Covid, so this is the first time we traveled and left him with a pet-sitter. Barbara was great. She sent us regular photos and videos of playtime and walks. He got more of both from her than he gets from us. Now he keeps looking at me to 'keep up' with what Barbara did... ha ha. I am very relieved and pleased that we now have someone to stay here and take good care of any pets we have the next time the travel bug bites us. Highly recommend her!”
4. Tisa N.
“Tisa was punctual and that gave us a great sense of relief since we have had some bad experiences with sitters not arriving in a timely matter. She cared for our pups and made sure their needs were met. Thankful for her help!”
5. Tatiana S.
“Tatiana is awesome! We would definitely hire her again if we go out of town for vacation. Took care of our babies and kept on a schedule so dogs had a consistent schedule as well. It’s nice to know our doggies were well taken care of!! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!!”
6. Elicia F.
“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”
7. Lizzy C.
“Lizzy is awesome! She took very good care of our pups and our house. She was very responsible, communicative, and attentive to what our girls needed whether it was playing fetch or snuggling on the couch. We will definitely use her again.”
8. Kira B.
“This was the third time Kira has stayed at our place and took care of our pup! Skyla loves spending time with Kira and I know she’s is very well taken care of while we are away. We were gone for a week and a half and Kira gave many updates and stayed at our place the entire time!! Highly recommend and glad we’ve found Kira, will continue to have her dog sit anytime we are gone!”
9. Sandy J.
“Sandy is amazing! She will care for your pet as if we’re her own as she does our sweet Gemma. This is our second time using her services and we will continue to utilize her in the future. She stays in touch and sends you photos of you fur baby as you are away to give you comfort. Gemma loves staying over with her! Thank you so very much for your care! ♥️”
10. Allison M.
“Allison did a great job watching over our 18 year old blind Siamese cat, Lily. Ever since Lily has become blind she doesn't like to be alone for an extended period of time. We needed a sitter for her and Allison did a good job caring for her and keeping us updated on how she was doing. We will be using her again.”
11. Cynthia C.
About: I am certified in Pet CPR through Red Cross. I currently have 2 dogs, and have also owned a cat, a hamster and a bird at one point in my life. I am a stay home wife/mom so I am home around the clock with ample time to walk, feed and love on your pet for the best care. I have a big yard both front and back, a crate (if needed) covered back patio, pool, and live out away from the city near a 3 mile walking trail.
12. Patrick B.
“Patrick, Thank you for taking such good care of Millie while we were away, and for providing the videos throughout the day of our happy dog! ~Carla”
13. Savannah P.
“Savannah was great! This was the first time using her overnight service for a 7 day trip and it could not have went any better! She sent us updates and photos while we were away and our fur babies loved her!! We will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
14. Jordan D.
“Jordan takes incredible care of my fur babies. I have a high needs doggo and cat that are happy and well loved when I get home. She tires my high energy dog out before I get home and even strips the guest bed before I return. I cannot recommend Jordan enough!”
15. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth did a great job watching our dog while we were away. She took great care of the house and we will plan to have her back next time we go out of town.”
16. Mia S.
“Mia was great! She took care of my high energy doggo, who was a happy camper when I got back home. :)”
17. Harley B.
“Harley is a wonderful pet sitter. She bonded very quickly with our wild pup Zelda. She is very dependable, knowledgeable and patient. Her rates are very reasonable. I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”
18. Madison M.
About: I’ve had my own very hyperactive dog for the past 8 years, I’m very experienced with temperamental animals and potty training! I know how to be patient and loving to dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperament Pet care is already a large part of my everyday life as I have 2 pets of my own, I’ve been noticing a desire to interact with more animals and couldn’t think of a better way to do it. Considering I live in an apartment, drop ins and walks are what I’m better suited for, BUT I’m always willing to take on more pets for boarding or day care if pet parents are comfortable. I have multiple rooms to keep pets separate if needed.
19. Tyler K.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of mine, my neighbors, and friends and family since I was little. I am able and willing to treat your pets as if they were mine and I am excited to meet them! I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. With enough notice, I can make most scheduled visits work. I love any and all kinds of animals, and I would do everything in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable with me.
20. Hanna B.
About: I’ve had a love for dogs ever since I can remember. My baby of 14 years passed away last year and I miss him every day. Family, friends & coworkers always rely on me to care for their fur babies when they are away because they know how much I love and adore all pups. :) I am working part-time and going to school, so weekends would be ideal for me to take care of your fur babies, or I can be available after 5PM on weekdays. I live in a rural area and have a huge yard for a dog/dogs to play in. I can crate them if needed as well.
