1. Rachelle A.
“Rachelle is the best! She took care of my two cats while I was out of town. She followed all instructions and kept me informed, including some photos. I texted her about one of the auto feeders not working and she took care of it for me. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Rachelle, you did an awesome job! I will definitely call on Rachelle next time I need a sitter for my fur babies.”

8. Coen S.
“Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.”
9. Gabrielle H.
“Gabrielle is an upstanding animal lover. She is kind, patient, and can have a firm hand when necessary. Watching her pup cuddle up to her is like watching the best Showtime movie. My dog would be thrilled to go for a jaunt with her, if we lived close! Let Gabrielle take your pup on an adventure. I promise he/she will have the time of their life!”

“Andrea is an amazing dog sitter!! She watched my Frenchie, Duke, while I was away on vacation last week. Duke was well attended to and she even took him on lots of walks (he enjoys the outdoors!).

13. Kimberly F.
“Kim was attentive to my dog's needs, patient with him when taking him outside for his daily walk, and took the time to let my dog get more used to her when she'd enter the home. She spent time with him, giving him the attention he needed and didn't rush to get him outside and back in. Kim made sure to send pictures as daily check-ins to show how my dog was doing outside and whether she noticed any changes in his demeanor each day. Kim is trustworthy, communicative, and dependable as a pet sitter.”
14. Ana P.
“Ana did several drop in visits to check in on on my kitten while I was away for a week and a half. She was professional and caring.

16. Olivia K.
“I cannot say enough about the care that our dogs, Ron & Gracie receive from Olivia! They are always well fed, walked, and played with every time we leave home. I have received texts and pictures while we have been gone updating me on their activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about our 4 legged children at all while we are gone. In addition, my neighbors have confirmed this for me because they have told me that they see Olivia at our home playing in the back yard with them and they see then out and about on their daily walks! It is so nice to be able to leave Gracie & Ron and know that they are loved and well taken care of when we cannot be with them.”
17. Ellee D.
“She was very kind and took time out of her day to do a meet and greet in person. Along with taking photos everyday to show that our animals were happy.”
18. Lydia N.
“I have 2 cats and 1 dog. My dog absolutely loves her! He always gets excited whenever he sees her, and never wants to leave her side. My 2 cats are a bit skidding with people, but they love Lydia, especially my calico girl. She always comes to her for food because Lydia would always give her treats. Lydia works well with dogs, cats, and even reptiles as she as one herself. She is very kind and outgoing, and is willing to help out in any way. I absolutely recommend her. She is like an animal whisperer; any animal she encounters always loves her.”
19. Carter T.
About: I have lots of experience with animals having lived with dogs, cats, and horses my entire life. I have a variety of experience walking neighbors dogs and dog sitting for friends going out of town. I am a full time student, pet care will have to fit around my school schedule. Due to this I plan on mostly doing walks and short term house sitting. I have lots of experience working with a variety of animals. I am happy to cater to whatever needs you have about your specific animals in order to create the best experience possible.
