4. Micah G.
“Can not recommend him enough! Best pet sitter we have ever had!! :):) My 16 old dog ALWAYS bites the fur off her bottom when we leave. (Abandonment Issues) When we came back, no fur was missing, which she means she felt safe and loved with Micah! His communication was so good and he always took and pic or video to show how fun our dog was having! DEF will be rehiring him again:):)”

11. Mike H.
About: My dogs are my children, and I'll treat yours the same! Pets are family, and they deserve just as much care and affection as any other family member. I'll give all the walks, pets, plays, treats and any other things they might need, and then a little extra! I have as flexible of a day job as you can have, so most days/times are easy for me to get by and take care of your pup. Safety is priority one! We don't go anywhere without a collar and a leash, poo bags, and if a longer adventure, water bowls. I always double check to make sure there aren't temptations in easy reach for counter surfers, or choking hazards for nervous chewers. Triple check locks on windows and doors, and make sure to leave any appropriate light on for them.
12. Claire B.
“Claire was amazing with Mishka on our long trip away. Her sweet recaps were so comforting and I know she got a lot of love from her while we were gone!”
13. Becky B.
“Becky is so wonderful! She is so kind and loving to our cat and dog. Every time she watched them I know they are in caring company. Becky also sends the BEST pics of our pets. We seriously love her and will recommend her to everyone!”
14. Keisha M.
“Keisha was great! She was very patient with our puppy and worked on commands with her. Our puppy has the tendency to knock over her water every day in her crate and Keisha took care of cleaning up her crate for us. We will definitely book her in the future! 10/10”
15. Kristen M.
“Kristen made me feel at ease leaving my sweet girl for a quick trip! She sent so many pictures and I loved getting her updates :) my girl was in good hands!”
16. Gavin H.
“Purrrfect sitter. Photos showed that my old cat loved every visit. There was consistent and clear communication, and Gavin didn’t hesitate to ask questions about the cat’s behavior. I was confident my cat was in good hands for several days.”
17. Eryca S.
“If I could give Eryca more than five stars I would! She’s extremely kind, thorough, and above all our cat, Willow, very clearly loves her (she sent photos of Willow sitting in her lap- most of my friends haven’t even had this experience!). On top of it all, she went above and beyond and helped me out when my house key fell out of my bag on my way back from my trip. Eryca is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more. We look forward to booking with her again!”
18. Penny K.
“Penny was awesome! Super accommodating, super responsive, and clearly worked magic with my super shy pup, even after a major natural disaster in our city. I will definitely book her again in the future now that I know my baby will be safe and happy with her.”
19. Sarah S.
“Sarah was amazing! She took great care of our animals and was super responsive! Highly recommend!!!”
20. Kallie N.
“Kallie is a caring and responsible pet owner and care-giver. She has dog-sat and cat-sat for me multiple times and is very caring for the pets and is always very respectful of my home. She's also had to give my cats meds in the past and has been able to get it taken care of with no issues. She's great with cats and dogs and I would highly recommend her to pet-sit for you!”
