Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!

Laura was a great help! She was able to work from our house and watch our puppy during the day so we didn’t have to crate her or worry about her getting into trouble. We would book her again ??

She was a very good pet sitter for our two dogs and tortoise. Daily texts back and forth with all questions answered within several minutes. We had a wonderful week long vacation especially because we knew they were well taken care of. Highly recommend!

About: Lifelong dog fan. I have always been the dog-sitter for coworkers and friends. When it comes to my family’s pets, I am the one who will walk and bathe the dogs. I've volunteered for a dog rescue project where I cared for a broad range of dogs. Big, small, young, old, nervous, or mellow - I have seen them all! I love obedience training and teaching dogs new tricks. I work part-time, so my availability varies.

Sara was fantastic! They stayed in my home for 8 days caring for my dogs, cats, horses and fish. I got daily updates of pictures and videos and they communicated very quickly if I ever reached out. My house was somehow cleaner than I left it and everything was obviously well taken care of. My animals clearly adored Sara and I’m very happy with everything. Would definitely recommend Sara as someone you can trust with your home and pets!

We were on vacation for 2 weeks. Jesse stayed at our house with our 7 month old high energy puppy. Jesse sent us photos and updates regularly. When he had obligations, he took our puppy to be walked and watched by his son Chris. Our little girl was well cared for and Jesse is very responsible and professional. Happy to give 5 star rating!

I feel so fortunate to find Mari. Mari took great care of our four collies, from young to senior. She is excellent in communication, very trustworthy and competent. I will not hesitate to reach out to her for future dog and house sitting needs and recommend her without reservation. It was such a blessing, while out of town, to know our four dogs were in good hands.
