Rachel did a great job visiting out elderly dog 3x per day for over a week while we were out of town. When we returned, our dog was happy and well cared for. She had some car trouble during the week, but handled it well by contacting our emergency contact person and asking that they help one day while she was having our car fixed, so it didn’t disrupt our vacation. I recommend her.

Kelsey is 5 star plus!! My cat has only been left with a house sitter since I got her 1 1/2 years ago. I was extremely nervous leaving her for just multiple drop ins over 3 days with a new sitter. When she came for the visitation first, I immediately felt more than comfortable with Kelsey! Her love and knowledge of cats was immediately evident and I knew she would be great with Lily. She even spent time offering me tips with problems I have with Lily! When she left, I felt at ease and comfortable leaving her. Communication and pictures were outstanding and I could see how well everything was going. She followed all my "obsessive" directions wonderfully! I came home to a relaxed, happy cat! Kelsey, Lily and I thank you for your wonderful care!!

Allie was great! She sent us pictures and short videos after every visit and messages to let us know how is our bunny boy doing. We we’re leaving our bunny with sitter for the first time and we’re little nervous, but Allie took great care of him. I would definitely recommend Allie.

Ann did a GREAT job and it wasn't easy with two large dogs that honestly don't always do what you want them to do. I couldn't be more pleased and I'm so grateful! My dogs mean the world to me and every step of the way I was notified with really cute photos too! I came home and the dogs were happy and wagging tails. I know them and I know when they are happy and had a good day and without a doubt they did. Really great job Ann! I hope you will come back the next time I need someone to check in on them. I will reach out to you again for sure.

About: I’m an experienced and dedicated pet sitter with a special focus on anxious, needy dogs, inspired by my own sweet but nervous pup. With one dog and one cat at home, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves care tailored to their needs. My time volunteering at FCDS has given me hands-on experience with a variety of dog personalities, strengthening my skills in providing calm and attentive care. I only offer housesitting to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their home environment. I’ll treat your pets like my own—providing the patience, love, and support I’d want for mine. I currently work full time and mostly in-office my work does offer flexibility, if needed. I am available weekdays before 9:00 and after 5:00 for drop-ins and dog walking. For house sitting my availability is usually weekends I require meet and greets to make sure it’s a good fit. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their pet’s unique routines and behaviors, sticking to familiar feeding and walking schedules and making sure their space feels just as safe. For anxious pets, I offer calm, consistent support—whether it’s keeping them comforting them through snuggles or respecting their need for space. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
