1. Nikonah R.

“Nikki did a great job while house sitting our two dogs for a weekend. Our dogs loved her right away and she has a great rapport with them. She provided photos and updates on them and was quick to respond when we texted her. It was a relief to allow the dogs to stay at home while we were gone and we will be using her again in the future.”


2. Beth S.

“Beth has been such a Godsend as I have had to travel for work. My kitty has health issues and she has been so good to him...and to my dog when she can't travel with me. She is truly a pet lover....and you can trust her implicitly with your home.”


3. Christine M.
“Christine is a wonderful person and truly great with animals. She has a heart of gold and will go the extra mile for your pets’ needs. She is a great communicator and has always managed her time well. Christine is extremely trustworthy and you will have no problems inviting her into your home. I would highly recommend Christine for your pet care needs!”




4. Amanda S.

“Amanda was really great! We needed a sitter for our two dogs for two days this week. Our dogs had never had a sitter before other than our son, and they are very scared of new people. They took to Amanda right away. She was really great with the dogs, and even sent us pictures. We will definitely be calling her again when we need a dog sitter.”


5. Hannah B.

“Hannah was wonderful! She met up for a meet and greet before and all of my pups loved her (even the skittish terrier) so I knew they would be in good hands. She was responsive and on time and we felt very comfortable with her - we will definitely have her watch the pups again! Thanks Hannah!”


6. Sandy B.

“Sandy is amazing!!! I would recommend her to anyone if I could give 10 stars I would! Sandy sent photos and kept us updated on how Harley (our dog) was doing along with Thor our Chinchilla. She spent time during rain/thunderstorms calming him down and making sure he had his medication, walks, golf cart rides and playtime!”


7. Christina C.

“Christina took care of both Rose the Yorkie and Toby the big Persian and they were both thrilled to have Christina. She is absolutely wonderful. Great with the fur babies, my home and with me. Sent super pics and put me at ease while I was handling family business.”


8. Kerryanne N.

About: I have eight years experience in the veterinary medicine field and 10 in the rescue/foster setting. I have been petsitting for years now as a way to pursue my passion with animals. Who doesn’t want to do what they love right? I currently work part time that gives me the flexibility to check on the pets multiple times throughout the day. I can send pictures and updates of your babies as we progress through our time together. That way you can be at ease wherever that may be knowing your loved ones are in a relaxed state at home. If my schedule shows not available, please do not hesitate to message me. I can always tweak my daily schedule to try and accommodate you. Working for a vet I realized that most animals are more comfortable, staying at home in their own environment than being boarded and kenneled with 10 other dogs while they’re high strung and on meds for diarrhea and anxiety.


15. Heaven M.


“Heaven did a fantastic job watching our 4 fur babies while we were in Delaware. She was prompt with her communication and even stuck around for us to get home to make sure we made it back safely. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend”


16. DeAnna C.

“DeAnna was awesome and took such great care of our River! She is a 5 month old golden so can be a little high maintenance and DeAnna was so sweet with her!! She also was incredibly flexible with our timeline change! Even our neighbors commented on how patient and good she was with River!”


17. Alyssa M.
About: Since the age of 12 I have been introduced to pet sitting. I have grown up in a household with various different breeds of dogs and cats! My parents to this day are still convinced with how much I love animals, I should be a veterinarian. Although I found myself going after a different calling for a career path, I love to surround myself with animals in my free time! It comes naturally to me to be in an environment with pets, taking care of them, playing with them, being their provider; that’s where my life tends to be stress free and is my happy place. Since I can’t own every animal in the world (my husband would NOT like that haha), I love to help others out and care for and get to know their fur babies! I have had different full time jobs working with animals, I can provide care for elderly pets, administer medications, aid in training, the list goes on! I have built such an amazing clientele since being in this local area for about 5 years, and have a page full of references! Every client I have ever had in this area in fact, still reaches out to me to this day, 5 years later even if they aren’t in need of pet care! I would be so honored to be given the opportunity to expand my care and clientele in this area, and provide care for your fur babies! Pricing is always flexible! I am available any time of day or night, weekday or weekend! I have a very flexible schedule, and open availability most of the time! Your fur babies needs will be met with any accommodations necessary/required! Depending on the household and routine of your pet, I will make sure the proper measures are implemented to encourage the same schedule they are used to on a daily basis! I try to keep things as similar as possible to what they are used to, in order to ensure they’re feeling as comfortable as can be!


18. Rebekah B.
“Rebekah has been dog sitting for us for the past 2.5 years. I'm able to enjoy my trips knowing that my babies are in great hands. She always updates me and sends me daily pics. I have her watch my cats, dogs, hamster and bearded dragon and she does great with all of them. My black cat does NOT like anyone but my husband and I, but she LOVES Bekah. Definitely recommend her as a sitter 10/10”


19. Christine C.

“We really loved Christine. Not only is she a kind, loving soul, she showed a lot of attention to detail. We felt comfortable leaving our babies with her and are planning on booking again! I have no reservations about her and she did a fantastic job!!!!! She is great!”


20. Keagen B.
About: Living in the countryside all my life I've watched over almost every kind of pet!! Nothing scares me! No fur baby is to big a challenge for me to handle! I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time for your fur babies needs! Looking to make some extra cash to spoil my baby before I leave for boot camp!✨️ I have a male cat named, Casper, and he's the sweetest baby around! My goal is to provide a safe environment for your fur babies while they are in my care! The care I provide will vary from pet to pet depending on their needs and preferences. I have a small fenced in yard for when we can't go out to the dog park so that everyone still gets their daily exercise also!
