I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.

Oli was wonderful! We have a reactive dog who is nervous meeting new people but she warmed up to Oli quickly. Oli checked in often with photos of the pups and left everything in good order.

Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend

Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.

Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.

About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

Giselle is amazing!! We've tried multiple dog sitters and multiple apps and she by far exceeded our expectations! She is sweet and updates us on the pups. She cared for our old pup while he was having some problems and had no complaints from neighbors either. Definitely use her for your dog needs

Nick did an outstanding job pet sitting my Shar-Pei, Albert, while I was away on a business trip. From the start, he was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Albert can be a bit shy at first, but he warmed up to Nick right away, which gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Nick kept me updated with photos and messages, and I returned to a happy, relaxed pup and a clean home. I truly appreciated his attention to detail and the care he showed. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!
