1. Katherine K.

“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and house while we on vacation. She came for a meet and greet before, meeting our fear-reactive pit-retriever mix and rough collie, spending plenty of time to interact with them and ask questions. She sent messages and pictures with updates. I definitely will be requesting her again.”


2. Ally T.

“Ally was great at following detailed instructions. She went above and beyond to take care of extra animals at the house and went out of her way to do an extra visit when our plane was delayed. She took great care of our animals. Thank you!”


3. Aphra F.

“Winston and Afra got along great! She did a great job! I recommend her and so would Winston!”


4. Payton H.
“Payton has been exposed to dogs dating back to her earliest years. She grew up in a multi-dog home, with as many as 5 dogs at any given point in time. We believed in teaching responsibility and exceptional pet ownership and Payton participated in the daily care of the dogs in addition to basic training using behavioral principles. I am a doctor of psychology and the applied behavioral sciences instructed us on how to train and develop our dogs. Payton also has watched dogs in our neighborhood, dogs of relatives, and recently stayed in the home of a multi-pet family based on referral. She has the experience and skillset needed for this position.”


5. Callie S.
“Callie is a wonderful pet sitter/dog walker! I have had her watch my little pup at least 10 separate times and she always comes back to me so happy and content! She is super thorough about following your pets schedule and being mindful of their needs. My pup absolutely adores her. She always sends pictures and is prompt with updates both independently and when asked! I highly recommend Callie if you need some additional pet care!”


6. Sarah B.

“Sarah was great! This was our first time leaving our pup alone in a town where we didn’t know anyone. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, and allowed that to be one less thing to stress about! Highly recommend😊”


7. Rose H.

“Rose did a wonderful job watching my 3 year old dog, Oliver this past weekend. She did a great job providing updates and taking care of the house while I was gone. Would definitely recommend hiring her to stay with your pup!”


8. Hayli A.
About: I've had cats my entire life and have had a dog for the last 8 years. Taking care of pets has been a huge part of my life that I've come to love! I especially enjoy going for long walks and getting lots of pet snuggles! I do work during the week I have a very flexible work schedule most days and a lot of free time on most weekends and weekday nights. Your pets safety is my main concern. I understand that our fur babies are just that, our babies. I am a high energy person that loves to care for and play with pets. I'm the type of person that you will find hanging out with the animals at any gathering! I will be open about my availability and will give your fur baby attention and love including play time, pets, and walks, and anything else your fur baby needs to thrive.


9. Janet C.
“Janet did an excellent job dog sitting with our dogs. We have one with high anxiety and one with high energy and she jumped right in and worked with us and their needs. She is very professional and friendly!”


10. Drew R.

“Drew was a wonderful sitter at our home for our Australian Shepard, Smuggler. He communicated with us throughout the weekend and sent pictures. All our interactions with Drew have been positive. We would highly recommend him and will use him in the future.”


11. Nick M.

“Thanks to Nick I felt assured that both Razz and Doc received great care. I would have Nick watch the dogs again. I would recommend Nick as a great provider of a safe and comfortable environment for your dog”


12. Ellie Y.

“Ellie was great! She took care of my Labrador Retriever for an extended period at our house. The pictures I received showed Kodie was doing well and having fun. They went on daily walks and even a longer hike one day, which was such a treat for him. Ellie notified me when she arrived and when she left and offered to return if my flight was delayed. She left the house in good order and had collected the mail daily. I appreciated Ellie's positive attitude and prompt responses. After meeting her and her obvious love and ease with my boy I felt confident that he would be in good hands. I would definitely book with Ellie again. Thank you!”


13. Kris A.


“Kris went above and beyind for us and our puppy! When she says she LOVES dogs, it's more than that. We met for dinner the night prior to scheduled sitting and she brought him treats and a toy! My puppy is very young and "chewy" and she not only tolerated that, she worked on commands with him! I will be hiring her the next time I need someone. She was more than a sitter! Kris, you are the best!”


14. Allison L.
“Allison is great with pets especially cats! She's thoughtful and caring for all animals though. She also has a lot of knowledge about dogs and caring for them. Allison is also just a wonderful pet owner herself! Highly recommend her for all your pet sitters needs!”


15. Keli K.

“Keli was great with my Charley! She kept me updated and sent pics daily. She maintained his medication schedule and was attentive to his needs! Her dog and Charley got along great!”


16. Tanner H.
About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and I currently have 2 large dogs. I would prefer if they are already potty trained. I am a full time college student with class in the mornings and afternoons. I would be able to do visits very early in the morning or after class/later in the day too. I am willing to exercise your dog with either a walk, throwing a ball or some other activity they like. Or on the flip side if they love chilling and getting attention I am totally down for that too.

“Grace is my niece and a beautiful soul inside and out. Grace attends Christian college for early childhood development. Grace’s love for children extends to animals as well.
