Kiirsten D. was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She went above and beyond in caring for my puppy, showing incredible patience and attentiveness. My pup had several accidents in the house, and Kiirsten handled each one without hesitation, keeping everything clean and comfortable. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, treating them with kindness and love. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!

Michelle kept me updated and sent lots of photos and videos. She cleaned my cat’s litter box, refilled her water, groomed her, and made sure to play with her. My cat got really comfortable with her which made me feel at ease.

Oliver was absolutely amazing. I actually ended up hiring him to do some training with my dog and he handled it like a professional. My dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive so I was looking for someone who would be patient, confident, willing to respect my dog's boundaries. Oliver was all of the above. It can be hard to find people who are good with dogs that dont fit that happy go lucky standard dog mold so I was very impressed with him and feel comfortable hiring him for other assistance in the future. Thanks so everything Oliver!

About: I’ve always had dogs throughout my life, but am currently on the training team of my service dog, Schuyler. Amongst working on her people skills, I spend most of my time entertaining her energetic quirks, soothing her anxieties, or spoiling her with sweet potato treats. I’m responsible for her grooming, exercise, meals, and happiness, but am fully able to extend that love to other animals in whatever ways I can! I’m currently doing nails as income, as well as this, so I have pretty much open full availability! I won’t be available March 17-19, but that’s it! I travel with treats, toys, and leashes to ensure a smooth experience for both me and your pet. I’m well versed on how to care for high anxiety/energy dogs, as well as docile and calm.

We only had a pop in visit scheduled on Thanksgiving but met Renee prior and got to see her with our GSD Rudy. He's a 90 pound dog so could be intimidating to some people, but not Renee! He like her just fine too and she was very interactive with him. You can tell a dog person when you meet one and Renee was definitely into dogs! We will use her again when the need arises. :)

Another stellar few days for our Biscuits with Tía Charlotte! When a highly anxious calico rolls over for belly rubs constantly, you know you have a special person looking after your family member. Charlotte takes so many pictures and always writes excellent summaries of her visits. We are so grateful.

Scott was organized, thorough, reliable, and trustworthy. He put us immediately at ease before a trip to Europe and went above and beyond for our dog and 2 cats while we were away. I am so glad I found his profile and that he was available. We came home exhausted, but didn’t need to take care of anything before getting to the unpacking as he had done such a great job. He consistently gave our dog longer walks than I had expected and our animals loved him. I will definitely use him again when we have future travel plans!
