7. Terri K.

“Terri is absolutely our new favorite petsitter. She housesat our dog for 5 days. Our dog had lots of needs emotionally and physically and she was able to accommodate our pet and provide the attention, time, and medication hd needed. Terri left our home in the way we left it, and she took good care of our little dog. She is an excellent communicator and went above and beyond. I am very particular and i would absolutely recommend this sitter and we will use her again and again. Thank you Terri! ?”

9. Maya R.
About: I've taken care of animals specifically dogs and cats since I was 11! My church, family, and friends can depend on my pet care skills! I am openly available 7 days a week for pet sitting any time! I am also open to keeping more than one animal at a time. I have a nice big yard and trail that I like to walk my dogs on :) They enjoy chasing the birds. I have crates for toting and I enjoy taking them to the local park. I will provide the same for your furbabies!

13. Dustin S.
About: I’ve always love animals, I’m very patient, high tolerance to hyper active pets, always concern about their foods, health, and mood. My love is genuine to them. I myself has own 9 cats and 4 dogs (in past and present) I care about their well being and has learn their actions. I’m currently not in school and been actively looking for other job too, I am planning to make pet sitting a side hustle job to earn more and help people who need help watching their pets. It will depends on what kind of pets, behavior, and house/apt space, etc. I will do my very best to accommodate your wants with your pets.


14. Hannah E.

“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She took the best care of our dog, cat and home while we were on vacation. We were able to relax knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking in the future and would recommend her over and over again!”


15. Jade E.

“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”


16. Skyler C.

“Skyler communicated extremely well and was very punctual! Would love to have her come back and stay with my pups at the house next time. You will be very happy to have her help out with your animals!”


17. Celeste V.

“Is there an option for 100 stars?!? Celeste is a gem! She stayed with our two Pyrenees for 8 days and we never worried about a thing. We got pictures/videos every day and could see that our puppers were happy and well cared for. Celeste kept the house clean and kept the puppers even cleaner! We could tell she had brushed and groomed them throughout the week. She is also a talented artist and left a drawing of the puppers on our fridge. We highly recommend Celeste to care for your fur babies ♡”


18. Carrie G.
“I have personally observed that Carrie is thoroughly dedicated to ensuring the best quality of life for her own dogs: she dedicates time and thought to their training, grooming, and nutrition needs. When I have visited her home, her dogs are always cheerful, energetic, clean, and bright-eyed, and these observations have served as a testament to me that animals are well-taken care of at her home. We have never had a problem with her dogs not getting along with my one of my pets. Winnie and Tibbs have been very friendly to my dogs and indifferent to my cat. I would overall highly recommend Carrie as a pet sitter. My pets love her, and I trust her heartily with their wellbeing.”

20. Savannah G.
About: I have many years of experience with caring for pets; large and small and of many breeds. I am patient and understand that "dogs will be dogs" and realize they will have accidents and might nip or snap if scared. I have had dogs of my own and realize they are part of your family and I will always treat them as such. My kids love animals. My husband is here to help me if any of the dogs get rambunctious. I'd love to keep your fur baby/babies, please contact me. You wont regret it. I work full time 8am-5pm Monday-Friday and get off at noon on Friday. I do however get an hour lunch everyday for potty breaks . I am currently renting a trailer. There is no fenced in back yard but I take the dogs I am keeping on regular walks and potty breaks. All of the dogs I board are kept inside.
