Nancy is awesome. We have had her pet sit now 3 times. She will always be the first person that I try to get. I think she loves our dogs almost as much as we do.

Thanks for taking care of Jazzy Belle and Karl. You are probably an expert at putting in eye drops and giving meds now. Jazzy is a handful. Thanks for all the pictures too.

Emily is very personable and did real well with the dogs providing a lot of updates. The real test — the dogs were dead tired and are busy taking a nap right after she left. Thank you for taking care kid our kids. We appreciate it very much. Will use again when we are in need for someone to watch our fur babies.

Toby and Tinker did well with Theresa staying with them for 2 night, including 2 1/2 days. Theresa communicated well. She did a couple extra jobs I asked her to do, and even took her linens off the bed and washed them before we got home. This was the very first time either dog had spent the night without one of us. I would book Theresa again if she is available in the future when we might want her.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a real love for animals. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I’ve learned a lot about taking care of pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and behaviors. Working there has given me a lot of experience and knowledge about how to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy. As a pet sitter, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. What makes me different is how much I truly care about animals and how much I enjoy spending time with them. I always give pets lots of attention, patience, and kindness. I want them to feel at home with me and to know they’re in good hands. As a pet sitter I go above and beyond to provide personalized care for each pet I look after. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and empathy for animals. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, attention, and patience. I strive to create a bind of trust and companionship with every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.

I have freshwater and fresh food that I will give them every day. Play with him.

About: Flexible schedule, lots of trails in my area for your puppies to explore, trustworthy, dependable and easily contacted. I’ve had pets of my own in the past that I loved and adored, and currently have a 3 year old eskimo/chihuahua that I adopted from the local shelter who loves to play w other dogs. I work three 12 hour shifts a week, meaning those 4 days off are great opportunities for me to walk your dog(s), stop in and check on them or stay with them. I understand the value of daily exercise and mental stimulation for a dog, so I will ensure they are getting their steps in. I also understand not everyone has the time or ability to ensure their pets receive daily exercise/time outside, and with my flexible schedule I would love to give you some peace of mind that your pet is having all of their needs met.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have love animals my whole life as well. Anytime I see other animals, I always pet them and take care of them. More than willing to do whatever I have to for an animal. I am also willing to bathe your pet(s) if wanted, very flexible and down for whatever!! My schedule is very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! Weekends work best for me, but if you need me during the week there won’t be an issue. I used to have a fenced in yard but we took it down, very open yard and I can easily put a leash on. I also have two cats and a dog which I will keep separate from your pet.

Eric is a true blessing to us parents and more importantly to our fur babies. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter than Eric. He was very prompt in every way. He kept in communication with us all throughout our trip. The pets took to him and accepted him right away as part of their pack. We are very fortunate to have found them and will be using him exclusively. I think Bjorn was actually wondering around and wondering where you were(?) Thank you, Eric

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sage, and I cannot say enough positive things about her service. From the moment I met her, I knew my furry companions would be in good hands. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. First and foremost, Sage's knowledge and experience with animals were evident. She ensured that my dogs would be well-cared for in my absence. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing the best care possible was truly impressive. During my time away, Sage kept me updated regularly with text messages, photos, and videos of my pets. It was evident that her was not just "doing their job," but genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dogs and forming a bond with them. Her updates gave me peace of mind and reassured me that my dogs were happy and content.

Bart is a wonderful, caring person. He puts the pets first in taking care of their needs and strives to make sure they are happy the whole time. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bart for two years and worked with him as he took care of his own pets and pets of others while we transported them to their new homes. You will not find a better pet sitter than Bart!
