“Lyndsay was awesome! I felt that my cat, Bailey, was in the best hands she could possibly be in. Lyndsay checked on her and gave her plenty of love and attention. She also sent me pictures and updates, which definitely put my mind at ease. I'll definitely be calling on Lyndsay next time I have to leave town!”

“Zane is amazing! She’s seriously been a life-saver with my crazy work schedule, checking in on my 3-month old puppy. She is so good with him. And, she is super reliable and has been great with communication. She responds fast. My young pup has even learned how to walk on a leash with her. I’m so grateful for her!”


6. Avery R.

8. Antoinette W.

“My 8-year-old energetic & demanding yellow lab Cooper is my first child and I am very picky about who I trust to pet-sit him. Antoinette has watched him several times & I have been very pleased with her care -- she is patient and thorough (my list of requests is detailed & she didn’t miss a step). She’s also been accommodating when I’ve requested last-minute care & is very reliable (shows up when she says she will & checks in to give me updates). I’ve seen how much Antoinette adores her own dog, and she extends that love to my Cooper too. I would highly recommend her & will definitely use her pet-sitting services again!”


9. Rilene L.
“My name is Melva Robison. Rilene is my daughter. My testimony about Rilene is that she is a gentle animal lover. Rilene has responsibly rescued many dogs and cats, of all ages, adopting each and loving each one as her own child. Rilene would be a excellent caretaker for any animal. Sincerely.”

“Heidi went above and beyond to make sure our beloved pets were taken care of and safe. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a great pet sitter!

We will definitely be hiring her again the next time we travel and so should you!”


11. Karlee R.

“I can't recommend Rick enough! He treats pets like his own, and I always have peace of mind when I’m away. From special needs to regular care, Rick ensures they’re happy and well-cared-for, sending updates and photos along the way. Whether I’m gone for a few days or weeks, I know my fur babies are in the best hands. If you need someone trustworthy and loving to watch your pets, Rick is the one!”

17. Skye & Waylon L.
“Skye cared for our pets and house sat while our family went on vacation for one week. She tended to our 3 dogs and 4 cats. Skye was amazing with our fur babies, she fed and snuggled them, and even took video calls from us so we could talk to our dogs! If she had a question regarding our pets she would give us a call or text to verify her understanding before making her next move. Overall Skye was amazing!! We highly recommend her.”


18. Evelyn K.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs of all ages since I was 8 years old. Presently I have a 13 year old senior dog, a 3 year old dog, and three 1 year old kittens. I am currently working full time at the Jersey mikes in mount vernon but it leaves plenty of time to care for all the beautiful animals that others need me to care for. I care for the animals in one’s home via cleaning up after them, playing with them, grooming them if needed, and letting them out to go potty.


19. Marina M.
“I know it's not easy to have someone you dont know help with your loved pets. I recommend Marina as she is an organized, responsible and friendly animal lover. She is a truly loving animal person and my pups and my ole timer beagle took to her like family. Marina is also a great communicator and was quick to keep me in the loop with any questions or concerns. Give your fur babies a treat with Marina, they deserve it!”


20. Mandy S.

“Mandy has been amazing! She responded quickly to our request and our Marley girl took quickly to her! She has been timely and super communicative which is helpful. She also has followed all steps and requests to the arriving and leaving our house in helping to make sure our pup is well loved and at ease!”
