“Great communication and really goes above and beyond. My dogs made a mess of their pen and she cleaned it up so they didn’t eat anything they shouldn’t.”
8. Chelsea D.
“Chelsea Deja is an incredible pet caretaker. She’s worked at an animal rescue, so she has a lot of experience with cats and dogs. She’s respectable and a very loyal hard worker. She’s a very friendly person as well. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”

10. Megan M.
“Megan is a reliable, all-animal-loving dog sitter and a lovely person. Having her take my boy for walks while I worked long shifts put me at such ease. We are from out of town and here for the month for work- she told me about the area and gave me tips. She gave thorough updates, lots of pics of my boy, and answered any questions I had about his day. If I were staying in the area, I’d continue to book her every day!”
11. Kate W.
“Kate is the only one I trust to watch my 1-year old Aussie-doodle Mealla. I’ve used her numerous times over the years. I know that she will closely follow the care guidance I provide and look after Mealla like she is her own puppy. It is such a relief to have such a kind, detail-oriented and trustworthy person to care for my girl when I can’t.”

In addition, our home is as clean as when we leave. Rebecca is the best person to care for your dog and home. Highly recommend!”
18. Abigail T.
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I am only working part-time like 3 days of the week, so most days before or after school I am free to watch your pups! Also, on weekends I have a very flexible schedule! We have 2 dogs to keep your pup company. We usually just let the dogs out ourselves since we do not have a fence. We do have a crate if that’s needed!
19. Julie B.
“Julie was amazing again this week with our golden and two kittens! She always goes above and beyond, whether it’s doing extra checks on the pets, giving them medicine, or working with our complicated vacation schedule.”
