Sabrina was fantastic. She was thankfully available for a last minute house sitting with Franklin. He's a rescue so it can be tricky getting him used to folks. She had no problem getting him out for walks and hanging out with him. Truly appreciative!

Even with heavy snow and bad weather, Terasa never missed a visit. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our cats — we really appreciate your dedication.

We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!

Jenni & Matt were super! Excellent communication & updates. Took care of my poor Milo with his cone on & managed all his medications. Sent many pictures of all the critters. If you want to go away & not worry about your fur-babies then book Jenni & Matt

I had to quickly find another sitter because our original plan canceled on us at the last minute. Taylor was so flexible and sent me picture updates of my babies. I felt safe knowing my fur babies were being taken care of by Taylor, I would recommend and hire again!

We had a wonderful experience when Steve watched our dog at our house for the weekend. His communication style kept us at ease, and we could tell from the pics he sent that our dog enjoyed himself very much. We have a very energetic Vizsla, so Steve was sure to give him lots of exercise and playtime. He takes good care of the home too. A top notch sitter who goes above and beyond.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated high school and will be starting college soon, so I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer! I do work part-time, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Since I don’t have many major summer plans, I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.

Kevin was an absolutely Wonderful Dog/cat/house Sitter. He has the kindest and sweetest disposition and was very attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure the dogs felt comfortable around him. And he took on Two young Saint Bernard's which in itself can seem like a daunting task. He did it with ease and enthusiasm and we felt so comfortable leaving him to care for our fur babies for an extended weekend trip. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He was the first Dog sitter we had that I felt 110% comfortable and knew everyone (and our home) was in great hands. We are so thankful to him and hope he continues to care for our Bernards because he has such an ease and way with animals. Thank you!!

Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.

About: What sets me apart is my variety of experience with pets at every stage of life. I have experience caring for cats as well as dogs, and I’m attentive to their comfort, routines, and any extra care they may need. I also currently care for rescue kittens, so I’m comfortable with young animals who need gentle handling, consistency, and extra supervision. Overall, I provide calm, reliable, and genuinely loving care, treating every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I have 2 7 month old kittens so daily pet care is very important to me! I give them enrichment time, lots of love, and regular litter scooping and changes. I grew up with dogs, so walking, feeding, and caring for dogs is very important to me! I care for pets with a calm, attentive, and respectful approach, always following their usual routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. In your home i’ll help maintain consistency in their routines. I’ll keep their feeding on schedule, refresh water, provide whatever enrichment your pet needs, any medication administration, and clean up whatever mess they may get into!

This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!

Gavin dropped in on my pup who is post-surgery and needs to be kept quiet. She loved Gavin! He sent several photos and descriptive updates, which I always appreciate from sitters, and especially appreciated for this visit. We also have shy cats who came around to him. Will definitely book again!

Meg was a great house-sitter and she took excellent care of my aging kitty. I really appreciate the care Meg took to make sure that he was brushed, fed, and watered. She even read him cat books! When I got home, it was if I had never left. He was very happy!

Taylor was a fabulous sitter for our dog Frank! She was super flexible and willing to come meet him beforehand so that he could get familiar. He warmed right up to her immediately! She stayed overnight two nights with Frank and sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend! We look forward to having her watch Frank again in the future!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was amazing—super attentive, asked all the right questions, and made sure my pup Groot was well taken care of the entire time. She stayed at my home for house sitting and left everything exactly as I had it, clean and cared for. Most importantly, Groot absolutely loved her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend
