Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.

Jenna was such a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs for a 3 day vacation. House was very clean and she took out the trash and stripped the beds, even though we didn’t tell her to do so. The dogs were so comfortable with her and it was like we weren’t even gone! We will definitely be booking again in the future!!

We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here! She always sends us updates and photos and I feel very at ease when we are out of town and she is here. Highly recommend.

Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.

We've adopted Allison as ours! We appreciate her greatly and Sadie about pushes her over with 'love leans' when she shows up for a dog/house sitting stint. Allison is a great communicator, reliable, and we trust her to stay in our home and to care for our 100 lb. fur ball. We've already got Allison pre-reserved for our next two needs. We highly recommend Allison if you are looking for someone to care for your 4 legged family member.

Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!

Katlin was so considerate with us and our two doggies. She house sat for us while we were out of town. We've got a puppy, Peach and a 5 year old, Zelda. Peach is definitely a handful and Zelda requires meds daily. Katlin did a fantastic job of handling everything they threw at her. Peach ended up having stomach problems and Katlin took care of everything beautifully. We came home and the house was absolutely spotless and I know our dogs can make quite the mess. To top it all off, our construction contractor decided last minute that they were going to start on the exterior of our house and Katlin was extremely accommodating even though there was a dump trailer in the driveway and I'm sure lots of noise the last few days of her stay. I would definitely recommend Katlin to anyone, your doggies will without a doubt be well taken care of and your house will look like nobody had been there.

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟

Sophia did an excellent job watching our two dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs is very anxious and requires extra time to warm up to strangers. Sophia was flexible, maintained a calm demeanor, and did several drop in visits prior to our departure to ensure he was comfortable when we left. At the end of our trip, our return home was delayed a day. Sophia was able to cover us and extend care for the additional time. I would recommend Sophia to anyone, especially those with anxious pets.

Angela did such a great job watching my three pups over the Fourth of July weekend! My weimareiner has anxiety, and Angela pulled out all the tricks to keep her calm with picture updates. She was also kind enough to bring our packages in, (they weren’t small..) and she cleaned up the house before our arrival back. Her attention to detail in the home, communication skills, and seeing how my three pups warmed up to her are all the reasons we would recommend her to anyone else. We will definitely be booking with Angela in the future!

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!

Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨
