Debra is so loving and caring to our elderly cat and dog. She drove through ice and snow and made sure our old guy didn't slip on the ice outside. She is an angel. Thank you so much Debra 💚

About: While I’ve never had my own dog, I have many dogs in my life who I adore, and who adore me. Dogs always approach me in public because they can sense how much I love them! I’ll love your pup as if it’s my own! I'm a PA student and my schedule is different everyday. If you request something a week in advance, I should be able to arrange something! Whether your pup just needs a buddy to hang out with or needs to be fed/walked, I’m in! I’m respectful of your space and can do whatever you need, as long as detailed instructions are left for me. I will go above and beyond to care for your pet as if it’s my own.

About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.

Rachel was outstanding and patient with my great Dane. She followed every single step we went into her during the meet and greet and followed instructions without a problem. She also left everything exactly as I left it was great when it came to cleaning up a couple messes he made. I’m really looking forward to having Rachel dog sit my huge, anxious dog again. ☺️

There is no one I trust my pets (cat and dog) with more than Freedom. I can tell she cares deeply for them and goes above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies whenever you need someone you can trust!

Deb is an extremely dedicated, reliable and caring pet sitter. We have used her multiple times for our cat, and every time we are so impressed by Deb's care. And our cat absolutely adores her!! Deb goes above and beyond with sending the cutest pictures and updates-- we even come home to a spotless apartment. We have full confidence each time that our cat is in the best hands while we're gone. Deb's truly the best!

Katrina did a great job taking care of our five sweet kitties! She was prompt, friendly, and sent pics of our kitties each day. She handled our asthmatic cat's inhaler like a champ and sent helpful updates about our cats that put our minds at ease while we were away. We felt comfortable having her in our home after a very pleasant and thorough meet and greet and we're looking forward to working with her again soon. Thank you so much, Katrina!
