Brandon was very diligent about keeping me posted throughout his house sitting assignment, including providing me with photos as well as how my dog was doing. I will reach out to him first going forward whenever I have a need for sitting my dog.

Karen was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. My scheduled sitter had something come up last minute and I was lucky enough to find Karen available! I came home to a very happy and well-taken care of pup!

This past week, we had our first ever experience using Rover. I’ll admit, we were hesitant to have, for lack of better terms, a stranger staying in our home taking care of our two dogs. As soon as we met Robin at the meet and greet, the hesitancy fell away. She stayed in our home for four nights and the way she communicated, how she very clearly loved on our babies, and the care, attention, and commitment she showed to the job was evident from moment one. Robin sent countless photos and videos while we were away and each one only showed how much she cared. Not to mention, our boys looked as happy and as comfortable as could be. Robin spoke to us like we have been friends for ages and she immediately picked up on the quirks of our dogs while not holding it against them. When we arrived home, we were greeted with the most adorable, hilarious, and detailed report of how our boys did while we were away. We have already asked Robin to come back for our next planned trip and would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. Thank you, Robin, for going above and beyond! We can tell the boys already miss you.

All I can say (write) are words of praise and gratitude for Lisa. She is Amazing! She is so attentive, considerate and truly super sweet. I received pictures and updates. My girl (dog) fell in love with Lisa, which shows and proves how well Lisa took care of her. Lisa not only fed my girl by my noted instructions, she also washed all of my pets feeding measurement cups. that was a detail that blew me away. I didnt ask for any of that. Lisa went above and beyond. It was really cold and Lisa walked my girl and let her enjoy a little outdoors. I didnt stress on my out of town travels as my girl (dog) was in good hands. I will definitely ask for Lisa’s services again and again. Thank you Lisa for everything.

About: I was born and raised with Dobermans by my side, but my expertise does not just span large dogs--but also small dogs, puppies, seniors, cats, and other furry friends. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter, taking care of my friend’s and family’s cats and dogs. I’ve ensured they’re well-fed, entertained, and they have taken care of business 💩. I’ve stayed at homes and made drop-in visits, so I can provide flexible care. I understand that your pets are like family members, so I’ll treat them with the same patience and respect they deserve! I am currently working part time at an office and applying for other jobs. I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I am looking to fill it by spending time with animals and getting my steps in! I am open for last minute bookings!!! I prioritize your pet’s comfort by following your specific care routine. My process begins by gaining your pet's trust through a calm, patient approach, ensuring they feel safe before we dive into anything. I like to keep the line of communication open with the pet parent to ensure transparency throughout the whole process. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and affection to minimize any anxiety they may face without their typical routine away from parents.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of my furry and not so furry friends!! I grew up in a home full of dogs and a vast range of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic life etc. I’m currently working from home so my schedule is generally open as far as Monday-Friday. I’m available throughout the entire weekend as well. I like to keep the animals in my care on a schedule so they aren’t stressed, I prioritize (the animal’s) comfortability and structure because that’s just what makes sense. It’s my duty to ensure your furry friend can have fun AND be safe so please bombard me with any and all information!!!

Had Cheyenne house sit our 80lb pittie for about a week while we were out of town and can’t recommend her enough! He can be a bit hesitant at first, and he warmed up quickly to her. Also she constantly sent photo updates- and we absolutely loved and appreciated seeing a new enrichment toy being used in almost each pic.

Crystal was so nice to work with! She took time out of her day to meet Moose and myself before watching him over the weekend. She followed instructions, asked questions when needed, and went above and beyond to ensure that Moose was safe, healthy, and happy! I would definitely rebook her for any future pet sitting needs :)

Stephanie is highly recommended. She stayed at our home and cared for the dogs like they were her own. She took them to the dog park daily and played with them in the yard. She also texted daily and sent pictures. I'm already considering her for another job.

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brit! She took amazing care of our senior lab and our two cats while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our older dog can need a little extra care, and Brit handled everything with patience and compassion. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Highly recommend Brit to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Super appreciative of Bailey and her good nature! I was very nervous leaving my old gal for a few days, especially not at our house. But Bailey assured me everything would be okay and it was! She was great at handling my girl, and her weird quirks did not deter Bailey at all from taking great care of her. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be using Bailey in the future if she wants to watch my pup again!
