I'm really happy to have found her and will definitely be making use of her services again!”

16. Sophie R.
About: I've always loved spending time caring for dogs and cats, and have felt a special connection with animals. I have lot's of experience taking care of dogs with medical conditions that require special care like medication, dietary restrictions, and extra gentleness. I have also raised a puppy myself from a runt of the litter into a fully grown, healthy adult. I currently work mainly from home which allows me to incorporate walks and house visits into my daily routine. Working from home also enables me to have the attention for around the clock care while sitting or boarding. My home is a very comfortable and quiet space perfect for a smaller dog or cat. I am located very close to a park with a large field perfect for playing around, as well as multiple trails and nature spots for long walks.


17. Grace J.
“I have had Grace pet sit for me multiple times in the past and I am always satisfied with how she works with them and handles them. She is reliable, responsible and always understands any special requests for your pets. She enjoys walking dogs and always gets my dog tired out after walking him. I am never worried about anything going wrong or have had any problems when Grace is pet sitting, she is very clearly good with pets and loves any pets she meets.”


18. Christina M.

“Super reliable. On time. Bentley loved her easily. Would call again.”


19. Juliana L.
“My friend recently agreed to care for my energetic 3-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix while I was away for one week. Throughout my absence, she provided consistent updates with photos and videos, ensuring my furry friend was happy and well-adjusted. She diligently adhered to my dog's specific routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and even playtime preferences. Upon my return, my dog was relaxed and content, displaying no signs of stress or separation anxiety. This experience demonstrated my friend's genuine love for animals and their ability to provide attentive, responsible, and loving care, making them an ideal choice for any pet owner seeking a trustworthy sitter.”
