“This is the second time we had Danette sit with our dog. She is wonderful! She gave us daily updates and was very patient with our shy dog. We recommend her highly and hope she is available the next time we need a puppy sitter!”

“Great experience with Allegra. She took excellent care of my pups and kept the house spotless. The dogs were in such a good mood when I returned, which tells me everything I need to know. Will definitely book again!”

“Mark was awesome. Miss Molly got lots of walks & apparently behaved herself. My house was spotless when I got home. Mark sent lots of pictures. I am confident Mark is trustworthy and loves animals. Sure hope he is available when I need to travel!”

“Jordyn came through for me when I had a last minute work trip! I was able to trust Jordyn to house sit and take care of my dog Greta. Great, professional communication and attention to detail. 100% star sitter!”

“Grace was excellent! She provided updates when needed and was very helpful and attentive to our requests and instructions. We came home to a happy, healthy puppy and a clean house. All we could ask for in a sitter! We will definitely be booking Grace again! Thanks, Grace!”

“Michele did a great job watching our Livia while we were in CA. We were very comfortable knowing she was well taken care of. Michele took Livia for a morning walk daily and kept us updated with pictures and notes. She is highly recommended and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

“Becca was wonderful and took care of everything. She knew exactly how to put my nervous little chihuahua at ease. By the end of the week she was his best friend. She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have had Pers my whole life, and I am a very well - versed person when it comes to dogs. I constantly watch people’s dogs / walk them when needed. Especially during summertimes. I am good with taking care of older dogs and walking at their pace. I am currently home from school for the summertime, I am taking classes in the meantime but I love to spend time with nature. Dogsitting fits into my schedule because I like to get up early and take care of my priorities and I count animals as one of them I value pets the same way, if not more, to other people. I see pets as another me, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them because i set such a high value for them. I think pets are one of the best things in our lives, and I wouldn’t want anything to harm that.
“Gabi’s services were 100% awesome. We have a quirky dog and she came over once a week for a few months before we left to get our dog comfortable with her. She kept us informed and went above and beyond to make us feel secure when leaving our home and pets in her care. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! Very diligent and respectful.”

“Ida has been my pet sitter on three separate occasions. She sends pictures and comments daily. I come home to well taken care of and content kitties. I would happily hire her again.”

“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”

“Victoria was awesome! She was just what our pups needed while we were away and we felt very safe with her staying in our home. I hope that we found our go-to sitter when we travel in the future!!”

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.
“Judy was fantastic taking care of our dachshund. Dachshunds require specific care to protect their spine, and lots of patience as they can be very stubborn. Judy was excellent proving Rocky the exact care he needed. She was a pleasure to work with. We are so lucky to have had her care for our fur-baby.”

“Megan stayed with our two dogs for 3 nights and everything went very smoothly! She sent lots of updates and pictures multiple times a day which was greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond with our babies. We would highly recommend her to anybody!”

My dog is terrified of thunderstorms and I reached out to Becca to provide company for him during a potential storm. She did a great job with my dog and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely use Becca again in the future and recommend her to anyone else.
