10. Jenna & Aidan S.
“I'm sure I wouldn't travel as much if it wasn't for Jenna. To have someone you can depend on and feel 100% confident with your beloved pets, isn't an easy situation to find. It has been over six years, that Jenna has been my pet/house sitter. I am so lucky to have found that perfect someone that makes my time away from home that much more enjoyable. When I leave Jenna to care for my pets, I never worry. I know both my cat and dog are in very good hands. She is loving, caring and always there to take on the job. I trust her whole heartedly. I know many people who will not travel because they are afraid to leave their pets. I am blessed to know that all the fears and anxieties associated with leaving my furry friends, does not existent in my world, all thanks to Jenna :)”

“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”




13. Andrea C.

“Andrea has taken care of my dog Sadie many times. Sadie is a nervous and sometimes difficult dog, especially with new people. Andrea has been fantastic with her. She loves Sadie and its mutual; she also is super reliable and communicative about clarifying when and what care is needed. She spends extra time caring for Sadie. She also has cared for other friends' animals for years, and I know they all would say the same. I recently had a bad experience with another dog sitter and it makes how great Andrea is stand out all the more. I give her the highest possible recommendation.”

“Merissa look after our working dog. She is so kind and attentive, our dog follows our early schedule and we wanted to keep that even while we were away, and she was so accommodating in following our dogs schedule. She treats our dog like her own, and keeps us posted on our dogs day regularly, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for. We highly recommend Merissa, she has been a blessing to us. Our dog loves her and we look forward to future trips knowing she can care for our dog.”


15. Katrina D.

About: I would be taking care of your fur baby with my partner who loves pets as much as I do. I’ve had dogs all throughout my life so I love being around them. I love playing and taking care of them no matter the size or breed any dog is a friend of mine.Plus 2 great sitters for your lovely pet what’s better than that❤️ Open availability at the moment. Just reach out to me and we can talk to make anything work for great care and a fun time with your pup. I always supervise the dog and make sure he or she has water at all time and if it’s outside at anytime I make sure they are always on a leash.


19. Ashleigh L.

“Ashleigh did a great job with watching my senior doggie. She picked up after herself and did more than asked for in regards to taking my dog on walks during her weekend stay with him. Definitely would use her as a sitter again!”


20. Kenedy P.
“This past summer, our cat Augie had a medical emergency while under Kenedy's care (to no fault of theirs). Kenedy acted swiftly and thoughtfully in responding to Augie's needs. They were communicative and professional from start to finish. My partner and I are incredibly grateful for Kenedy being there and catching this issue before it progressed. Augie made a quick recovery and it was all due to Kenedy's quick response. I highly recommend Kenedy for all pet-sitting jobs.”
