1. Carolyn Z.

“Carolyn was great with Buddy Bear! She was patient and understanding that he's a skiddish boy who needed time to warm up to her. She was on time, kept in communication, and took the cutest pics to keep me updated. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”

“Sierra was loved by my pets, easy to set up, and so easy to use! She made my time away from my loved ones so easy. I will definitely be using her future times I need to be away from my babies. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave me knowing how well taken care of they were. :-)”

8. Sage Anthony & Ashley B.



“Sage was so responsive and friendly! She gave the sweetest updates after each visit, and made sure to send plenty of pictures to let us know that everything was going well. We will absolutely use her services again in the future, and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great pet-sitter. Thank you, Sage!”


9. Shelby C.
“Shelby has watched our 4 dogs several times while we were out of town, as well as when we traveled out of country. She was very communicative with us the entire time on the status and behavior of our animals. She was also very good about meeting the differing needs of our four dogs. One is very hyperactive and she took him for runs to help get his energy out, and one is very anxious/special needs but she was incredibly patient and adapted to ensure the best care was still being provided. She is always thorough to ensure any dietary needs or medication is being met and administered appropriately. Her background in multiple fields of animal welfare comes through, and you can tell she has a love for all animals. Would definitely recommend her!”


10. Eryn M.
“Eryn is great with dogs! My current furry best friend, Hank, is one of the dogs she fostered and trained after rescuing him from abandonment. He came to me at 1.5 years old potty trained, crate trained; and even as stubborn as he is, he knows a few tricks and basic commands! I know that he came from a loving home because he is a very sweet boy. I would trust Eryn with any of my pets and so should you!”


11. Claudia F.

“Super friendly, attentive, played with them the entire time, made sure they ate, used the restroom and were tended to as I would.”


12. Terrence C.
“Terrence has been a great dog sitter! Accommodating to our needs and our dog's needs. He's so patient, loving, and willing to play with our dog when she wanted to. He is so pleasant and listens to direction openly.”


13. Amanda A.

“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”


14. Anthony M.

“Super grateful to have Anthony drop in and check on my kitties. He kept me up to date and I was happy to see the photos.”


15. Priscilla M.
“Priscilla was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs who can be quite the hand full. She was also extremely timely in both her text responses and her drop in visits. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first time hiring a dog sitter. Will definitely be using her services again in the future. :)”

18. Noel M.
About: I have cared for countless animals throughout my life, and this has given me a passion and love for caring for animals. I have experience with several types of animals from dogs to birds. As I am taking a gap year before college, I have a completely free schedule and the resources to dedicate my entire efforts into caring for my animals and any potential pets left in my care. I have a fenced yard which I allow my dogs in for a majority of the day as is their preference. They stay in crates at night but are inside with me majority of the time. My cat stays inside all day and is allowed to roam freely.


19. Shelby B.
“Shelby is a warm and loving dog mom and an overall awesome person! She loves animals and would be a great option to watch other people’s pets. When I left for 2 weeks, she was the first person I went to to watch my cat. You can’t go wrong with a person like Shelby taking care of your fur children!”


20. Cesare r.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and temperament since I was 10. From energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. My own Pomeranian, Cesare Italo Riverso, is spoiled with home-cooked meals, homemade treats, and long daily walks. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to focus on pet care. I’m available most weekdays after 2 PM, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or longer visits. Whether it's a quick walk or extended care, I’ll make sure your pet feels seen, safe, and loved. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space with supervision, enrichment, and lots of love. I keep toxic foods and chewable items out of reach, and I maintain a calm, positive environment. When visiting your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, always prioritizing safety and trust. I follow all care instructions closely and send regular updates so you feel confident and connected.
