1. Danielle H.

“Super sweet and very communicative. The job she accepted was a bit out of her range but she was still willing to do it. Unfortunately, bad luck happened and she was unable to complete the drop in visits but she notified me immediately and worked promptly on contacting support to issue a refund. I appreciate her accepting the job, doing what she could to fulfill it, and the communication and promptness when plans fell through. I would definitely hire her again.”

12. Chantelle S.
About: Hello! I am an online Spanish teacher and am able to be pretty near anywhere as long as there is wifi! I have been watching all kinds of animals for several years. I grew up on a farm and I am used to early mornings and routines. Getting outside and being active is a must in my life. As well as cuddling and having a calm evening of pets and loves. I am a big time animal lover and work hard to create a positive bond with every animal I am caring for. It is important for them to feel loved and safe when their human is away. Important details to keep in mind is my partner (Sam) and bonus kiddo (Marcus 9) will be staying with me at times if I am in-house pet sitting and during the school year I will have early morning drop offs and evening pick ups every other week (: the other important detail is houses with inside cameras will need to be disabled for profesional and personal privacy! Currently I have a seasonal plant vendor job in the summer for 2-4 days a week in the mornings which will require me to be away for 3-5 hours depending on the work load. I look forward to meeting and greeting you and your fur babies! I work from home, light mornings and heavy evening schedule. I simply need wifi to teach my classes and have a flexible schedule when needed. I will take care of the tasks asked of me and can use my own expertise on taking care of a situation that may not have been covered. Open communication is important and necessary -feeding schedules -exercise needs -an abundance of cuddles -photo check ins to ease your mind as well


13. Kailee H.
“From the moment Kailee met our four legged old man he loved her. Kailee takes her job very seriously. From the instructions from us, to the play time with our dog she never misses a beat. We come home to a Happy Dog and a clean home. Kailee is energetic, kind, compassionate and full of love for animals. We highly recommend Kailee to anyone who wants their pets to be loved and cared for!”

“Michelle was so perfect with our boy, Simon!!! We felt he was in the nets hands possible while we were on vacation!!!”


15. Paul & Alanis P.
“My husband, Paul, is an amazing pet sitter. When I took my cat to his house the first time we moved in together, I was worried my cat would not be comfortable around him because of his timid nature. But he was able to earn his trust easily. He feeds him on time, makes sure he has enough water to drink especially in summer where animals tend to get thirsty easily, he plays with him and gives him treats, and he helps me do the difficult grooming stuff as well. I'm happy to see them bonding together and by this, I can guarantee that he is great with animals.”


16. Alicia K.

“Denise is a gem! She was the first person to respond back to me and was at my house for a meet and greet the same day. I immediately felt comfortable with her. Not only is she super sweet, she is very knowledgeable about animals and their well being. It was my first time leaving my 2 cats home alone for a few days and while I was super nervous she completely made me feel at ease and did a great job. She was on time and attentive. My cats never came out to play with her because they’re very shy and don’t like strangers however she made sure to do a head count before leaving and gave me updates. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”


17. Courtney H.
“I have used Courtney in the past to help care for my dogs while I was out of town. She’s a huge dog lover and I’m sad she moved away and I can’t have her help anymore. You can 100% trust her with your pets. She will treat them as family”


18. Blaine and Ailene B.
About: My husband, Blaine, and I are a team. I work from home and he takes care of the kids so one of us is always available for a drop in visit. We both have experience pet sitting for others and will love on your dog or cat like our own. I also worked for a dog rescue and have fostered seriously injured dogs, litters of puppies, etc. We’ve have had up to 12 dogs in our care at once (when we were fostering a litter of 8 puppies). We are self employed so we’re home most days. We are responsible and trustworthy with reliable transportation so you don’t have to worry about who is caring for your pets. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! Both of us are home all day so we can be available most days/times for visits in your home. We’re flexible and can accommodate most schedules. We always check in with pets during the times we’re scheduled too. During the summer it’s important to ensure pets are able to stay cool, have enough water, etc.


19. Destiny K.
“If you are looking for a Pet sitter or Dog walker, Look no further. Destiny is a very caring,energetic person, she loves Animals and she is very reliable!! Always arrives on time and ready to work. Give her a call.”


20. Jennifer D.
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter. She has been taking care of my pets for years. It started with dogs and now I have cats. She is very dependable and conscientious. When she moved out of the area she went to work at the SPCA and often fostered kittens. I'm so glad she is back in my area. I trust to one with my pets as much as Jennifer.”
