Christina did a fantastic job watching the house and dogs! The dogs were well taken care of, all the instructions were followed, and she was very conscientious with respect to watching the house. Highly recommend!

Allison was absolutely amazing! Our dog loved her. She kept us updated while we were away with pictures and we could tell our pets were well cared for. She even went above and beyond to clean the puppy nose prints off our windows before we came home! Will definitely be hiring her again!

Absolutely! Here's a polished version tailored for a testimonial: I never once worried that my girls weren’t safe or being lovingly cared for. It takes a truly special person to look after someone else’s pets with the same devotion as their own—and that’s exactly what we experienced. The peace of mind and genuine care made all the difference.

Stacey takes great care of our dogs. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or house sitting, I never have to worry about them. They always get plenty of pets, play time, and snuggles.

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and patient pet sitter with experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities—from super social and playful to more independent or shy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with: • Feeding routines and fresh water care • Litter box cleaning and maintenance • Playtime and enrichment (when they want it!) • Giving space to more reserved or anxious cats • Monitoring behavior and overall well-being I’m very detail-oriented and will make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well. I just moved back to the area after spending a few years in Georgia, so my schedule is quite free at the moment. When I am working I will still make it a point to help people as best as I can. I have a fenced in backyard where my dogs can play and relax without the worry of a leash or harness, and they have free roam of my home

Claire was amazing with our two (somewhat high-maintenance) French Bulldogs, one of which is still a puppy. She cared for them and our home and sent us several updates and pictures each day. We’ll definitely be having her dog sit again!

About: Hi, my name is Kayla, and I’m a caring and responsible pet sitter with experience looking after dogs and cats. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I have two cats of my own! When I’m not teaching I’m typically home spending time with my own kitties. I’m available most afternoons and evenings and am flexible with hours. I can do overnight stays, drop-Ins, and occasional dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s well-being by following routines, paying close attention to their needs, and ensuring they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I am flexible with expectations and responsible with time management.

Mckenzie and Anthony were a great duo. This was the first time our puppy had anyone watch him and our dog is a little shy and nervous. They did great with him. They spent the night with my dogs and sent videos and photos multiple times a day. Anthony even took our garbage out to the curb on garbage day and we never would have even asked him to do that! Fantastic experience. Definitely, will hire them again!

Shannon is a wonderful pet sitter! And seems to be a very nice person, too. Both of our pets - friendly dog and cantankerous cat - seemed to really take to Shannon. She kept in good contact with notes, photos and videos. We will certainly ask Shannon to care for our pets again.

About: I worked throughout high school at a humane society, focusing on puppy and adult dog care, also writing grants for the foundation. Since then, I’ve had three dogs—one Canaanite Shepherd and two huskies. I also have a lovely turtle at home named Zoom! Animal care is part of my daily life, and I strive to give my animals (and yours!) the best life possible! I currently work from home most days, so I can be fairly flexible with my schedule (given enough notice). I am happy to work with your and your dog’s needs! While I don’t offer care in my own home, I am happy to visit your home to let your animals out and get them some exercise!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes since childhood. I am especially adept at gaining their trust and nurturing a rapport. I work from home, and my normal schedule is 7 AM-3:30 PM, so I am available after 3:30 PM for dog walking and drop in visits. Since I work from home, I have a lot of availability for house sitting and in-home pet care as long as there is reliable wifi. I am happy to care for pets in their home, and am very good at gaining their trust and helping them feel safe and calm.
