1. Haley Z.
“Haley is so nice. My Dogs took to her almost immediately even my one who doesn’t like most people. She sent me pictures while I was away and just gave me overall peace of mind my dogs were safe.”
2. Jordin S.
“Jordin is who you want watching your pets. I am a nervous nelly about leaving my pets and having Jordin be our sitter put my mind at ease. First of all, she followed the instructions to a tee, secondly, she went above and beyond to keep our house in exactly the state we left it. I am so impressed with Jordin and the way she cared for our pets. In the photos she sent I could tell that my dogs and cats really love her! I will be using Jordin again every time we go out of town.”
3. Maria C.
“Maria (and her dog Lalo) were amazing! Boone is normally an anxious mess but he was the most relaxed and calm he’s ever been after being watched by a new person for a couple days. She was very communicative and sent pictures which made the trip less anxious for me. Will definitely be using them again!”
4. Faye & Guy R.
“Faye was a great dog sitter! She was on time, communicative, and flexible with our changing schedule. Our dog was on medication that prohibited strenuous exercise and Faye was very mindful of taking short and calm walks with our dog. I would definitely use Faye again next time I am in the area.”
5. Ilia K.
“Ilia was fantastic. Although Oliver was not well during our absent she handled it very professionally and with care. She communicated with us frequently on Oliver's well-being. Which was very much appreciated. She stayed in our home the entire time and left it very clean and orderly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you once again Ilia. Michaela and Dan”
6. Kimberly Z.
“Animals have been a big part of Kimberly life. She enjoys her animals and gives them everything they need. Keeping these animals healthy is also an important part. She’s also involved with several rescue organizations, where she participates in foster care. She enjoys working with the animals as well as going out on outings and even as far some of them going on vacations with her. Animals safety and happiness is paramount.”
7. Emily C.
“Emily was amazing! We contacted her short notice to hang with our anxious pup while we enjoyed a night out on vacation. She was excellent with communication and our dog was immediately comfortable with her. We would absolutely re-book if paths cross again!”
8. Rebecca M.
About: Having been a pet owner for all my life, I am familiar with all sizes and temperaments of dog and cat breeds. I also have experience caring for bunnies, birds and livestock. I’m recently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My house is available if you need boarding or I can come to you. When your dog is in my care they will not be off-leash while outdoors unless you have a safe space for them, such as a fenced-in yard. They will get pets and cuddles, treats and exercise. I will follow your written instructions for their care and require your cell number as well as access to your vet.
9. Rachel B.
“Rachel was great with Gibson, we could tell right away she has great affection for dogs. She sent multiple photos every walk/feeding letting us know our pup was in good hands while we were away....we strongly recommend her and will be using her anytime we need a pet sitter from this point forward!”
10. Julia P.
“Julia is a communicative, responsive and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my high-maintenance dog while I traveled abroad for an extended period of time. She put my anxiety about the process to bed within the first couple of days. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.”

About: I currently work full time as a veterinary technician and have years of experience with all types of animals. I also grew up on a farm and currently work on a horse farm as a hobby in my free time. I throughly enjoy pet sitting and spoil them as if they are my own. My favorite part of the job is meeting new people, their pets & all the different personalities i get to enjoy. I want to make your pets as comfortable & happy as possible while you’re away. I stick to their daily routines to have some normality while you’re gone. I have a lot of knowledge with animals and their health. I’ll be able to take care of your pet daily and if there is any emergencies or issues, I’ll know how to safely handle them. I’m also comfortable administrating medications. My schedule is pretty consistent each week. Each work day is typically 8 hours long but some days are shorter than others. Depending on location, lunch time breaks are available! My biggest responsibility is safety; keeping your pet safe while happy is my top priority. This goes for while on walks, adventures or even just bathroom breaks. As well as any sickness that may come up while you’re gone. Being a veterinary technician, i can realize a sickness sooner than others and know the right course of action.
