1. Bradley M.

“Originally I had somebody else booked. They cancelled the morning visit on me. Our dog was left hungry and more than likely had a full bladder. Bradley to the rescue! I explained the situation and Bradley dropped everything to take care of our furry family member. It's apparent his love for animals is genuine. All communications were smooth and pleasant. Bradley has earned our trust and we'll continue to use his services! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”


2. Claire W.

“This was our first time having Claire drop-in. She was on-time to meet with us & for the requested drop-in. She’s very responsive. Claire also provided updates with photos & had no issues. Look forward to using her again for longer trips.”


3. David D.

“David worked hard to coordinate with us when the keypad did not work on the access. He waited for me to reply and figured out how to get in another way with my help. Very much appreciated!”


4. Anne Y.
“Anne is five stars all the way!!! We love her reports, which are both detailed and entertaining. She takes great care of our kitties and gives us peace of mind when we travel. Can’t recommend Anne enough.”


5. Alice D.

“Alice took great care of my cat while I was away! She was very communicative and professional. Thanks Alice!”


6. Britany R.

“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”


7. Leesa H.

“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”


8. Stephanie A.

“Exelent service. Keep me informed of everything related to my baby Michie.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them

12. Brittany H.

“Brittany took great care of my cats and provided great updates throughout my stay. I would highly recommend her and would definitely have her watch my cats again in the future.”


13. Monroe B.

“Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.”


14. Sara L.
“Sara is a detail oriented pup-lover who is absolutely obsessed with her own labradoodle, Lorenzo, and truly bonds with dogs more than other humans. I've seen her take amazing care of her own animals, as well as mine - she my go-to puppy sitter when I'm out of town. You lil poochie pal with be in great hands Sara!”


15. Michael C.

“Michael was terrific! The dogs settled in with him, and he made the extra effort to visit them before we left, so that they knew him. He’s got an excellent understanding of dogs. I highly recommend him!”


16. Haley H.


“Haley was amazing with our three cats while we were away. Even the timid cats came out to hang out with her! We'll definitely be booking again.”


17. Daniela D.
“Daniela is one of the most kind and caring individuals I know. If I need anything for my pets she is the first person I ask because I know that she’ll drop everything for me and my animals. She is amazing with every dog I have seen her with, and she is personally besties with my dog.”


18. Meilyn W.
“Meilyn is an excellent caregiver. She fostered two bottlers kittens who were on four medications and hanging on to life. She nursed them back to life by bottle feeding them every four hours. Administered medication and love. They thrived more each day and were adopted into their forever homes.”


19. Alivia B.
About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have taken care of baby kittens, rabbits, puppies, and have had to administer every type of medication to animals. I am an animal lover and am happy to help!! I go to class from 8:00am -12:30pm on weekdays, and I am completely free on weekends. I have a lot of free time and I would love to meet new animals! I have a larger house with a fenced in backyard in Oakwood with plenty of space and greenery. My roommates are all huge animal lovers and we would just love to have some pets in the house.


20. Heavyn-Ley F.
“Heavyn-Ley is excellent with animals! She is a very loving and cheerful person! She watched our 7 year old cat named Chi Chi. She requires a lot of care, she gets an insulin shot once a day and is on a special diet. Heavyn-Ley kept her on schedule. And followed every instruction that we left for her. She also cared for our 2 year old poodle named Bennie. She made sure that she took him out 4 times a day and gave him his food/water and treats. She brushed him and everything! She is very professional and makes sure to treat your fur babies like they are her own!”
