This is the second time we have used Valerie. She communicates with us and we never have a concern that our kitties are played with and cared for by Valerie. We will definitely use her services again in the future.

Erin has been a very responsible caretaker. I give her very good ratings. Hopefully she can be a repeat sitter while I'm kennel training a new puppy. Erin did wonderful.

I really appreciate Hannah! I needed to hire someone last minute for my 5 furbabies, and she was more than willing. I asked if she wouldn't mind if I reached out for additional days toward the end of my trip away, and though I ended up not needing to do so, she was willing to do that as well. Additionally, my senior rottweiler mix likes to "give attitude," which can be scary if you aren't familiar with it, and Hannah handled that beautifully. She was communicative when it happened, which allowed me to message her to share what to do about it (which was to let the dog throw her fit and leave her be). I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and probably will when I take trips in the future!

About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!

What a fantastic experience! Marissa looked over my two cats during our extended honeymoon stay. Marissa was so easy to work with and allowed us to add four additional days onto our honeymoon thanks to her flexibility and professionalism. I truly cannot give a high enough rating for the experience and piece of mind she provided.

Melissa has been dropping in to check on my dog twice a week for few weeks now. She’s great at communicating and patient with Bunny (she’s a bit shy of new friends)! I also appreciate that she thinks ahead for holidays to check if I’ll be home during normal days she checks on Bunny. I highly recommend her and I would give 10/5 stars if I could! Thanks Melissa!
