6. Kristen S.
“Kristen is amazing. I’m a pet sitter myself so was very careful in selecting someone based on recommendations and our meeting. It’s clear she loves animals. Her own dogs are adorable and well loved. My cat gets along with dogs so this was a great boarding opportunity. All instructions were followed, texts and pictures were shared, and my kitty came back acting like she wanted to go back! Thx Kristen and your own fur babies for letting Milo stay!”
7. Mary B.
“What a blessing Mary was! We were both so nervous leaving Charley for the first time. Mary made it a breeze. Charley was with Mary for a week while we were on vacation. We got a daily update and pictures. Charley loved her daily walks with Mary. I would recommend Mary in a heartbeat, and will be using her again.”
8. Bryce O.
“Bryce was a great host to our two Golden Retrievers while we were on a trip to New Zealand for three weeks. We felt like she was very attentive to them and made them feel very comfortable in her home. She gave them great supervision and provided ample play time and walks for them while keeping us updated daily with pictures and comments. We plan to use her again in the future. She is a true animal lover and a great steward to the animals in her care.”
9. Stephanie S.
“We were coming in from out of town and we were in a crunch to get a sitter for our dog, and we're so glad we found Stephanie! She took such good care of our dog and was incredibly responsive and communicative at every point of the process. We'll definitely book with her every time we're in Erie!”

“Nadine was superb! She took excellent care of our dog and updated us daily. She has a very nice set-up for dogs-inside and outside. My dog was very relaxed and happy during her stay. When we picked her up, she was playing with Nadine’s adorable Pomeranian and wasn’t in a hurry to leave. We were very pleased with Nadine!”

“Highly recommend Kirsten as your pet sitter! You can tell she has a heart for fur babies. Not only will she play and interact with them, she truly understands there emotional needs since being separated from their parent(s). If the fur baby just needs to be snuggled with, she’s happy to sit for hours with them for companionship, 100% win for Kirsten!!”
