“I can’t recommend Jenni and Raymond enough! She has watched my dog on a drop in basis three days per week for months. She has never not been able to come as scheduled. She is completely responsive to all my needs and schedule alterations. I will continue to use her going forward on an as needed basis. Loves dogs, highly recommended!”


“Kristin was an amazing cat sitter! One of our cats was dealing with some health issues before we had left, Kristin was very attentive and was there twice a day to give him his medicine. Very detailed updates and tons of cute pictures! We truly feel like she cared for our cats like they were her own. 10/10 recommend!”


“Laura was a huge help with my cat when I went out of town for a few days. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made being away much less stressful!! Highly recommend!”


“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog, Valen, while we were away! Judd went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands animals. Valen took to him instantly, which gave us so much peace of mind. Judd kept us updated daily with photos, videos, and little notes about their adventures together, so we always felt connected. It was heartwarming to see Valen so happy and well cared for, whether they were out on walks, playing, or just relaxing at home. He even gave her a bath!! Judd was not only incredibly responsible and attentive to Valen’s needs, but he also left the most thoughtful gifts for our kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came back to a relaxed and joyful pup, and we’re so grateful for the love and care Judd provided. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further than Judd. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”

About: My family has owned dogs, cats, and reptiles ever since I was old enough to form memories. I have looked after, cared for, and even helped train dogs ranging from itty-bitty puppy size all the way up to HUGE (think, Great Dane/Pyrenees mix). I love taking pups on walks and can provide any and all care that you would normally provide! I can administer medications, and even have experience breaking up dog fights, in case the need ever arises. I can handle getting bit or scratched a bit; the most important thing to me is that your fur baby is returned to you safe and sound. I am currently unemployed and have a wide open schedule for looking after and loving on your pet(s)! Currently, I have almost no scheduling restrictions at all. I can provide any and all care that you would normally provide for your pet. I am very flexible and capable, just fill me in on your pets typical routine and what care you'd like me to provide and I will maintain it!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. To my moms small Terrier dog to my parents in law 3 big Rottweilers and now to my very own Rottie ! I have always took very good care of them with cuddles, baths, and walks. I am such a animal lover therefor I am here to help with your dogs or cats needs and your too I currently am not working so I am available whenever, weekends and holidays! I’m here to take care of your babies! I can provide services from mornings to night time ! Your pet will receive the best caring with plenty of exercise, attention and love. I can send pictures as well in every walk we take together. If you need any special needs for you pets let me know and I can do them for you, like medicine, diaper change. I want to make you feel comfortable and trusted with me with anything you need ! I offer drop in visits and dog walking.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I have looked after both young and older dogs caring after all of them as if they were my own. A little more than a year ago I got my first puppy, so I also have learned a lot about caring after puppies and providing plenty of walks and entertainment, to ensure they are cared after and happy. Im currently working part time, therefore I have availability most days of the weeks for drop in visits or for taking plenty of dog walks. I live close to the park , I take my own dog on various walks daily to ensure she is active and has plenty of time to go potty. I do the same activities for every and any dog that I am looking after. I take them long walks (according to their ability) and I always look out for them to ensure their safety!

About: I have my needy family dog at home alone with my roommates puppy! Caring for dogs having been something I have always loved doing! I have always been willing to do anything for a dog and am happiest when I am around them! I currently am a student and work! But on typical day I have 2 to 4 breaks that last anywhere from an hour to 2 hours a day! I am pretty much completely open on the weekends :) There are 3 dog parks around us that I like to take my roommates dog! We have a puppy proof house and are very good with making sure everything is out of reach! Making sure the dog goes outside and gets exercise at least 3 times a day is incredibly important along with fullfilling the daily schedules of the animals! Knowing their trouble areas helps me understand the dog and work with them to make sure they are comfortable !

Dylan K.
“To Whom It May Concern, I can’t say enough good things about Dylan K.—he is a one of a kind pet sitter! Dylan cared for my five dogs (yes, five!): Zo, Luna, Sophie, Boone, and Harlowe, while me and my family were away, and we were absolutely blown away by the love and attention he gave each one. Managing that many personalities is no small task, but Dylan handled it with ease. From making sure Zo got her zoomies out, to cuddling with Luna and Harlowe playing fetch with Boone, and giving Sophie the calm reassurance she needs—Dylan never missed a beat. We got daily updates with photos that made us feel completely at ease and confident our pups were in the best hands. When we got home, everyone was relaxed, happy, and clearly had been well cared for. The house was taken care of too, and it honestly felt like Dylan had treated it—and my dogs—as if they were his own. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and gifted with animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Dylan. Zo, Luna, Sophie, Boone, and Harlowe do too! With gratitude, A very thankful (and impressed) pet parent”


Sandra S.
“Sandra is my sister and when she lived with me all the time she was caring for our terrier to shower him , walk him give him cuddles until this day when she stops by to see him he always goes crazy for her cause he loves her so much ! If I ever need my sister to walk him I know I can definitely trust her with any one else to help someone with their pets needs !”


Amanda M.

“Amanda was amazing and we could see how much our Holly loved seeing her! She was super!”


Keishla R.
“Great Person! Always very kind and humble, very responsive. I trust her with my doggie. My dog is always extremely happy after I pick them up!”


Paige B.
“As long as I have known Paige, she has always been an amazing friend. This expands to many areas of life, but in terms of pet-care she excels. She regularly takes care of her roommate’s puppy, feeding it, taking it on regular walks, and taking general steps to ensure it’s constant wellbeing. She also has taken care of my cat before for short periods of time, and I have always come back to a happy and well taken care of animal. She is kind, considerate, empathetic, and a compassionate worker. She has also managed to keep her fish alive throughout college, and I can’t say I know many if any college students who could achieve that. Out of everyone I know, there is no one I trust more with my own pet’s care.”
