She went out of her way to come to our house for a meet-and-greet and then came back another time to go over procedures, feeding, etc. It’s very hard to leave your home and pups in the care of a stranger, but Kristi put us at ease right away and didn’t feel like a stranger at all.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Being a dog owner a few times in the past has given me a lot of experience with providing the best care. It’s all about patience, being able to read their own needs, and knowing what toys and treats work best! I also have pets with special needs at home so I am skilled in administering medications orally, topically, and via subcutaneous injections. I’m clean, polite, professional, and respect boundaries of both my 2 and 4-legged clients. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I am self-employed. Generally I run my own business on weekends and every other Tuesday through the summer and fall. Weekdays and evenings are fairly wide open to spend time with furry friends. I am used to following a routine in my own home for my pets which includes timed feedings, regular medications, and cleaning of litter boxes. I also have someone in my home to take over my schedule if I were to take on a pet sitting job. In a client’s home I can easily adapt to their pet’s routine and maintain a calm presence so there is minimal stress.

Kate was great! She provided daily updates, house was in great condition when we returned from our two week trip, dogs were happy and well cared for, would definitely recommend and will use again!

Nia took care of our 3 big, lively dogs in our home while we were overseas for a week. She did a fabulous job with their various idiosyncrasies, including one who is reactive with other dogs. She communicated well, giving us a daily report and pictures, and also kept us informed of issues concerning the house. She administered supplements and kept an eye on an injury. The boys got plenty of exercise and playtime, and she seemed to genuinely love them. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Tammy did a great job dogsitting at my home. My dog enjoyed her company! She commmunicated well with photos.
Cammie did everything I asked her to, sent pictures and reports on the dogs. I would easily have her dog sit again

This included text and pictures. We are very happy with the care the dogs received. She walked and cuddled them and allowed them to sleep with her. Most importantly she asked questions when unsure. Thank-you, Diana.

We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
Such a sweetheart to work with and incredibly reliable. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Exceptional! Great communication. Last minute accommodating. I came home to a cleaner home then I left it. Pups were in great spirits! Thank you so much!

Our dog, Oso, loved James. He got the best walks and lots of attention while we were away. We'd definitely recommend James!

Susan is always great but stepped up even more this time around. Always appreciate the care she brings into our home and for our pets!

Audrey was very flexible and sent updates of how Keiko was doing while she stayed with her. Very kind and understanding!

So happy that Savannah took care of my fur babies! I have a dog and a cat, and I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She was always so pleasant to communicate with and took wonderful care of my home also. My cat, who is not friendly with everybody but immediately came over to meet her when she came in the first time, and I thought that was pretty impressive. I highly recommend her for any fur baby and house sitting gig!

Ralph took great care of Nacho and my apartment while I was away. Highly recommend him as a pet- and housesitter

Cate is awesome. She was very enthusiastic to stay with my dogs. She kept me up to date with messages and pictures. She was respectful of my house., paid lots of attention to my dogs and even cleaned up a mess my dogs made while she was out. I hope she is available next time I need a sitter. I would definitely have her come again.

Rachel was awesome! I will definitely book her again. I have a very handsome eight-year-old German shepherd who has separation anxiety. He is not a fan of anyone that he doesn’t really know watching him. He usually won’t come out of our bedroom, go outside, and he also won’t eat. None of this was a problem with Rachel! She won him over by giving him a bowl of whipped cream and turkey, daily. It was very comforting knowing he was having a nice weekend with her. She is definitely an overall great person!
