Sam was great! My husband and I had to take an emergency trip out of state and Sam was able to watch our pup at our home. He sent us pictures and videos while we were away and kept our house very tidy! Our dog is typically very anxious but he immediately warmed up to Sam. We will definitely use him again in the future!

Julie did a great job with my three dogs, who are a handful (90 pound reactive elderly Shepard, 80 pound willful Golden, and 11 pound Chihuahua mix who can be stubborn on walks). We worked together beforehand to talk about what would work best both for the dogs and for Julie so that she was set up for success. We did a few walks together and then she did a few on her own before our travel dates, which made me, and more importantly, the dogs, feel really comfortable with her. She was wonderful about giving updates including pictures, and overall communicated perfectly. She took great care of my dogs and seemed very confident about handling them. I am thrilled to have someone on hand who can take care of my pack when I am away. I highly recommend Julie for taking care of your pets. She also took care of my parent's elderly cat during the same time period and did a great job on that, too.

Jacqueline was just fabulous! Leaving a 12 and 13-year-old set of dogs that required medicine and gentle walking is always hard to do. In order to attend our son’s wedding without a worry we needed to feel confident in a dog sitter. Jacqueline provided that no worry feeling for us. Receiving pictures and regular updates throughout the three days was very comforting. I highly recommend Jacqueline and will use her again as needed.

Eric cares or our pups like they are his own. Our younger one can be skittish with new people but took to him right away. And Eric cheerfully puts up with our old fellow's senility and the challenges yhat brings. We feel very fortunate to have found him!

Cam stayed in my house and cared for my lab-mix Onyx for 4 days. Onyx was comfortable and got her walks in, which enabled me to focus on my work trip. I’ll definitely be using Cam again.

Hannah was available last minute for an overnight stay when our original plans changed. She was able to squeeze in a meet and greet beforehand and put a lot of effort into helping our anxious dog feel comfortable. She sent updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and just how we left it. We would definitely use Hannah’s walking and pet-sitting services again!

We were totally comfortable traveling out of state knowing she was in charge. We look forward to engaging Kelly again for future travel plans. She is awesome.

Carlos is the best! Highly communicative, professional, and experienced. He was an excellent cat sitter for our two fur babies while we were away on vacation, and he also took care of our new house. Carlos is trustworthy, followed the routine like he lives here, and administered meds to my senior cat. I’d choose Carlos again in a heartbeat!

About: I work as a part time veterinary technician, very confident in giving medications. Will stay at your home with your pets to help them be as comfortable as possible and stay on routine while their owners are away. Love taking them for walks and hikes and make sure we have plenty of play time together! I would love to meet your fur-babies and help you be able to relax and enjoy your time away. I send updates and pictures so owners know their babies are enjoying their time too! I currently work part time as a veterinary technician, my shifts are between 5-7 hours Monday through Friday. Can do potty breaks during the longer shifts if needed. I stay in your house with your pets so they are comfortable in their own environment and follow their regular routine as much as possible. Plenty of time for exercise and play!

About: I grew up with three dogs, have dog-sat for neighbors, and lived with a cat that I helped care for. I am very energetic and I have cared for puppies and both large and small dogs. I have a full time job with some flexibility, so I am free most evenings/nights and all of Saturday. My Sunday availability is in the morning to mid-day. I am happy to play with and entertain pets, and follow your instructions on feeding, walks, and house rules. I have had an anxious dog, so I want to make sure your pet is comfortable.

Miriam took great care of our two pups during a weekend away! She is prompt, thorough, responsible, and detail-oriented. We had no concern whatsoever about the safety, well-being, or affectionate care provided to our girls, even given that they are both so young (3 months and 8 months) and one is still working on potty training. She is very responsive and understanding of our needs (and concerns as first-time puppy parents!) and communicated clearly and frequently, with lots of adorable picture updates. She clearly loves animals and that was the case with our (high-energy) Luna + Waffles. She also left our home spotless and went above and beyond what we expected!
