Katharine was great with our two cats! We have one cat that is protective when we leave and she was SO good with him! She won him over in a few days and that's quite the feat (even if he was a little cranky)! She had great communication and it was clear she cares very much about animals. We will absolutely be asking her to care for our kitties again! Thanks Katharine!

Great communication and attention to details 🙂 Sarah dropped in to walk my dog Mama Mia and was kind enough to offer and give my cats treats too!

Victoria was great with my pupper. She was very patient with him when he was initially apprehensive of a new person taking care of him. I’ve never felt so at peace being away, knowing I have a reliable sitter! Thank you! :)

About: I’ve taken care of countless roommates dogs, before getting my own a couple years ago. Before getting my own I did lots of research on training so she could have a happy, healthy, and safe life. I am committed to a dog’s safety and happiness. I am big on positive reinforcement which is how I’ve trained Buttercup. I’ve worked with multiple dogs on leash training, off leash training (minimal), potty training, and other general commands (sit, stay, come, heel, etc.). I have a full-time job and love hanging out with all the doggos in my free time. A couple of my workdays are fairly long, so I am more available later in the week. Pups (6months+) and dogs are allowed everywhere in my house except my personal bed. It is a modest home, with a fenced back yard (dog castle included). My dog, Buttercup, loves other dogs and is eager to play and be friends when they are. She has had interactions with both younger pups as well as much older doggos (up to 11 years old) and all interactions have gone well. While she’s on the medium-large end (70-75lbs) some of her best doggo friends range from significantly smaller (7-12 lbs) to much larger (100+lbs). She interacts well with different sizes.

Between a high anxiety dog and a stuck-up cat, it's stressful thinking about leaving our pets to someone else's care. Sophia did phenomenally with them and I could tell from the photos she had earned their trust after just one day. We will definitely be booking her again and encourage others to do the same.

Krista came over to meet HiShawn before our trip. It took a minute but he did warm up to her. When she started to leave he started whining. He’s never done that before. Krista and HiShawn got along splendidly! Thank you, Keista

About: I have both small animal and large animal experience. I love pets of any kind! I am currently a veterinary student looking to fill my afternoons with walks! I am currently a full time veterinary student so I am looking for afternoon walks after 3 pm and anytime on most weekends. I will absolutely work with your schedule! I currently live in an apartment so I am unable to board pets. I would love to take care of your pets in an environment that they are most comfortable and take them on long walks!

Irene was such a blessing to have watch our dogs. We had an emergency trip and she was able to meet us last minute, and was very accommodating to our needs. Our boys were so happy when we got home and I could tell they had a stress free time while we were away. I’m always a little nervous about leaving and this being the first time in a new home and state, they did so good. Irene truly took the stress of the worry away. I was able to take care of things and not been wondering how my boys are. She kept me very well updated with pictures and videos every stop. Irene will definitely be our go to person now. Once again we are truly thankful

About: I have had animals for as long as I can remember. My husband and I have two senior large dogs, Cooper and Thor, and 6 chickens. Shortly after my husband and I adopted our second dog (Thor) in 2015, we became involved in fostering dogs for animal rescues. We have since taken a pause on fostering but when we were active we were able to rescue and find homes for over 50 dogs. We have been able to pet sit for local family and friends whether it's cats, dogs or even just fish. I am very reliable and happy to either stay in your home or have multiple drop in visits. I hope to meet you and your beloved family member soon! ❤️ 🐕🐈 I currently work 8-5 Monday through Friday, I am free after work most days and do not work on weekends. I am happy to help whenever you need someone to stop by or stay while you're away. I am happy to take your pups for a walk, let them out and play in the yard if there is a fenced yard. I would update after each visit or multiple times a day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and house sat for friends and family for over 20 years. I am new to the area and I look forward to meeting new doggo friends! I’d love to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pups to discuss your needs more in-depth! I work an 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday job. However, I have a 1 hour lunch break that would allow me to stop by and check on/walk your dogs. If I have a free weekend, I could housesit for you; the sooner I know in advance, the better! I’m a very active person, so I love walking and even jogging with your dogs; whatever you need! I like to talk softly to dogs to develop a level of friendship and trust. I’m happy to accompany and play with dogs in a fenced in backyard or dog park. Sitting on a couch (if allowed) is nice too! I’d follow your regular feeding, potty and meds schedules to maintain consistency as well.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life since a little kid, I’ve dog sitted and dog walked a lot in the past for my friends/family. I’m good with all sizes of dogs I’ve owned a couple in my adult life as well. Dogs do tend to become fond of me very quickly, I love dogs so much and want this to keep me busy and company! I am free on the weekends most weekends, I am free every week day after 5pm, flexible with your schedule as well, thank you so much! I will follow the instructions you give me for your dog. I wouldn’t want to break any routine or schedule your pet has at his/her home.

I was very confident in Katharine's ability to take care of Pickle when I met them to give them my key. During their visits they went beyond what was asked of them. They took the time to play and cuddle with him which I'm sure he appreciated. They also got some great pictures to send to us that were fun to show to others. Would definitely recommend!

I think Teddy and I both agree Victoria is amazing! I had another sitter booked for my cat, but unfortunately that sitter fell through just a few days before my 8 day out of state trip. I reached out to Victoria, who immidiately responded and was able to take on my booking! She did great with my very shy scaredy cat, and even got him to warm up within just a couple check-ins. She communicated consistently throughout the booking and even adjusted her schedule to make sure she made it out to feed Teddy before a nasty storm came in one of the days! She also went out of her way to fix my rugs for me, which my silly boy likes to tear around under when the zoomies are hitting especially hard. I loved that she listened to my boy and didn't push boundaries when he didnt want approached or held, and she knew when to leave when he was needing space. I’ve never left Teddy alone and having Victoria taking care of him like he was one of her own fur babies, gave me the peace of mind I needed to not worry while I was away. Anytime I am needing to be away from Teddy, Victoria will absolutely be my go to!

Ruby did a great job, she took care of my animals really well. The only thing I could say is, she does feel a bit robotic at times when conversing compared to other sitters I’ve had. (she might be a shy person I’m not sure) besides that she asked questions if things arise contacts you if there are concerns that regard you pet. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into taking care of animals so I’m thankful.
