Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!

Miguel is an amazing petsitter and great human being!! He helped me out on short notice, being extremely communicative, thoughtful, and detail oriented in his care for my pets. I highly recommend him to other pet owners looking for someone who enjoys energetic animals like my two border collies. Thanks again Miguel!

Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was born. I started helping out with the caring for them at around 10 and have done so ever since. I have a Jack-Russel and Chihuahua mix. She is a very shy dog and we have had to do a lot of training with her so I understand how to handle shy dogs. I know that dogs do enjoy being off leash so I would try to incorporate that into a walk if a long one is needed. Such as a large park or a fenced in one. For drop in visits I would stay for a long enough time to make your pet feel at ease, but not too long as to overstay my welcome.

Monica is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Monica knew how to calm him because of her experience working at a vet. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Monica was flexible and understanding. You are a life saver! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.

Yolanda was fantastic with my dogs. She sent me multiple pictures throughout the weekend with both my pups looking so happy. One of my dogs gets anxious and scared easily and he absolutely loved her and trusted her immediately. So thankful to have someone like her to watch my dogs when I’m away for trips

Andrea is fantastic! She watched out two dogs and our home for 5 days while we were out of town. She sent many photos and was very communicative, which we really appreciated, and she was so sweet with the dogs. I can tell they were very well cared for while we were gone. We would love to have Andrea back the next time we travel!

Anna was sweet and kind. She stopped by for a house visit, do a meet-and-greet, and chat. She was absolutely the right person and will use her again. She kept in touch, sent photos, asked questions if she needed anything, which was rare because she had everything absolutely under control. Do not hesitate to hire Anna!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and spent my entire adult life thus far pet sitting for friends, family, and people I’ve come to know professionally. At this stage in my life I can’t commit to having a dog full time and this is the second best thing I can do to get my doggy fulfillment. I have a lot of emotional foresight with animals and will care for your pet the same way I’d expect someone to care for mine. I am available 24/7 Friday through Monday and will provide your pet the best extended weekend ever. If needed Tues-Thurs, I’d only be available every four hours unless I’m given extended notice to plan for working at home. I live in a gated apartment and townhome community. I’m surrounded by trails, fields, and a very walkable neighborhood. My home itself is already very pet proof and I have a very chubby, relaxed calico cat ready to nap and pretend like your pet isn’t here.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brian! He stayed at our home for a full week while we were away and took amazing care of our two pets — our cat, who requires daily medication, and our older French bulldog. Both animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we returned.

Tetiana took such wonderful care of our two cats, Dexter and Charlie, while staying at our home. Dexter is a senior cat who needs extra attention and daily supplements, and she went above and beyond by even taking him to the vet for his IV shots. We’re so thankful for the love and care she gave them while we were away. She kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos, which really put us at ease and let us enjoy our trip knowing our little guys were in the best hands.

Sergio went above and beyond for us! This was our first time hiring him and the big storms that we had caused some unexpected problems and Sergio really helped us with that as well. Our pets seem to have gotten very comfortable around him within a short period of time. We came home to all of our animals happy and healthy, our house in the shape that we left it in and he gave us peace of mind while away on a much needed family trip! Recommend and will definitely hire him again when/if he is available.

I cannot recommend Annie enough! She stayed with my dog, Addie, for a week and was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met, I trusted her completely—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Knowing Addie was in such great hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without any worries. Annie provided excellent care, kept me updated, and made sure Addie was happy and comfortable the entire time. She also sent the cutest photos, which I loved getting since I missed my pup! I would love to work with her again in the future, and if you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter, Annie is the best choice! I can’t thank her enough!

We had Cheryl watch our senior dog, who had only ever been left overnight with family before, so I was definitely a bit nervous. Cheryl was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease right away. She took such great care of our dog and kept us consistently updated, which meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the experience and will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future. Highly recommend!
