“This is the second time I’ve booked with Brittney and Xime and again they were excellent communicators and very understanding and flexible. They got my normally skittish boy to trust them completely. Will definitely be booking with them again!”


“Michael was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He provided daily pictures, feedback on how he was doing, and cared for him like his own fur baby. Will for sure book again!”


“Mandi was great! She was very responsive and sent us prompt updates on how the animals were doing. We have three cats and a dog and she was very communicative about all of them. Highly recommend her!”


“Rose was great! Stayed with our herd overnight and even managed to get our under-the-weather dog to take her meds. Our 3 cats warmed up to her really quickly and everyone was happy when we got home.”


“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”


“We would absolutely use Andrew to watch our dogs and our home again. He provided us regular updates with photos/videos of our dogs while we were away. It was very comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Andrew to others looking for someone to care for their animals.”


“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”


“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”


“Jade was awesome, she stayed the weekend at our place and took care of our senior golden lab while we were away. I was a bit apprehensive since this was our first time leaving him with someone we had just met but Jade put us at ease and did a great job taking care of the Colt and the house, will book again!.”


“Krista was amazing while house sitting my dogs and cats! She did great looking after the animals and left the house in perfect condition, she even washed the bedding! Highly recommend her services.”


About: I have had many breeds of dogs over the years both big and small. I also have taken care of many more in the mean time just as recently taken care of and walked a senior doggo for last 18 months. I also have taken care of several breeds of dogs of all sizes and energy levels.So with that in mind depending on size energy levels and needs of your loved one will depend on what I can do on pricing I have had my own doggies that I have taken care of over the years as well as taken care of dog that has belonged to both family and friends. Have also taken care of many other kinds of animals as well like bunnies' ferrets and various kinds of livestock So i am looking forward to help board others day or night for those who may be in need of services. I have a small, unfenced yard for your loved fur baby to roam around in and a home inside to relax and play in while here. We also got a dog park for the little ones to run in on the property so they can burn off any extra energy.

“Morgan was FANTASTIC! She stayed overnight at our house with our dog and cats. She was so attentive and took the time to send photos of all the pets. Terrific communication. She was professional and thoughtful. We trusted her completely. Thank you Morgan! :)”


“Sarah is always great with our pups! She goes above and beyond to care for them, keep our home clean and organized and give our pups lots of love and exercise! Highly recommend”


“Rachel is fantastic, frequent updates and photos the entire time princess was with Rachel. We were extremely nervous, leaving princess with someone else for the first time, we will absolutely use Rachel again.”


About: Pet care has always been second nature to me! I grew up surrounded by animals—three cats, a bunny, a duck, and even fish! As an adult, I’ve cared for my own cat and two sweet pups, and though they’re no longer with me, the love I have for animals has never faded. Now, I’m a single mom of three amazing kids and share custody 50/50. On my kid-free weeks, I’d love to open my heart and home to your furry family members. I know how much pets mean to us, and I promise to treat yours with the same love and care I’d give my own. Whether it’s snuggles, walks, or playtime—I’m here for it! With my own pets, I did personalized dog training, and cared for my senior cat. As a work-from-home, self-employed single mom with 50/50 custody, my schedule is both flexible and predictable. On the weeks I don’t have my kids, I have extra space in my day—and in my heart—to care for pets. Since I work from home, I’m able to give animals consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day, whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just being a calm presence. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely look forward to it! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. In my apartment, pets get a calm, cozy environment with plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for getting energy out and enjoying fresh air. I also keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and clutter-free—no current pets other than a quiet little betta fish! When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive to your routine. I know every pet is unique, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home—even when you’re not.

About: Since I was young I always loved animals I have 20 years of experience working with all types of animals all different breeds of dogs from Chihuahuas to great Danes I love them all what sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I like to provide a safe environment for my furry customers and their owners I genuinely love what I do and the animals that I watch truly bring me great joy whether you’re going on a vacation or out of town or out on a date for the night you would want to leave your pets with someone who cares and that someone is me I like to send regular updates pictures and videos so that you know your loved ones are safe I would love to watch your for baby no matter the case what are their elderly high energy or skittish I open my home to all and take time to care for them and their special needs I do not work and I do this as a full-time so all my dedication would be to your furry babies I can provide care 24 seven and they will not be left alone I have a big park by my apartment which is pet friendly and it wooded and beautiful great place for them to take out energy great place for walks and enough space to go potty were they desire
