“Johnathan was great. Took good care of Henry and he can be quite a handful at times. Loved getting daily updates and photos. The house was very clean when we got home. The only thing that disappointed us was the strong oder from the dirty liter box upon return. As I mentioned in my notes, Henry likes a clean liter box and it should have been cleaned before he left and our return. Johnathan is very sweet and treated Henry with love and kindness. I would definitely hire him again and absolutely recommend him to others, and have to my friends we vacationed with as they vacation alot and may need a sitter one day for their fur babies. Thank you Johnathan.”

“Matt is the absolute best!! Very sweet and kind to my 13 year old black Lab. From the meet and greet I could tell Matt was very sweet to my Lola and empathetic to my anxiety of leaving my elderly pup alone. Matt was very attentive to following the list of directions for my pups eating and med routine and was so kind to send me updates each time food, meds and potty breaks happened. Matt sent tons of pics all day. Already booking Matt for my next trip. Thank you Matt you are an angel.”

About: I’ve had pets and pet sat since I was 9! I’ve had my own cats and cat sat! I had a giant mastiff and owned a show bunny through high school! I I’m going to school for Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences so I’m trying to get as much experience around more critters. I’ve had a cat who had multiple surgeries so I’ve had to administer medications and help soothe anxious animals. I work at a hospital Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. So the rest of the week I am able to have a lot of outdoor time with pets. My patio is completely closed off and I have a grass patch and flower bed. All the plants I have are 100% dog and cat safe!

“Sabrina took such good care of my pups who get really bad separation anxiety. I hired her to watch them while we took a day trip and they got plenty of attention. They were happy dogs when we returned home.”


“Carla was absolutely amazing with house sitting my two pups. She knew my Luna was not fond of new people and she was patient with her and by the third day, she had won her love. Carla sent updates and pictures and I felt at ease being away. She not only took care of my pups but also my home. I would recommend booking with Carla 😊”



“We hired Carolyn for the second time. My boys just love her. She is always early, always reliable and always so good with them. She communicates with me daily and sends pictures which I love! She’s just the best. Till next time. Thanks!🐾”


About: I love to spend as much as time as possible with your babies! I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I have sat overnight with up to four large dogs and up to four cats. I have taken care of senior pets as well, having administered insulin to a diabetic senior kitty. I currently have two part-time jobs, which allow me the time and the freedom to pet sit. I can pop over between jobs or before and after my short shifts. I rarely work doubles, and if I do, I would not commit to pet sit. I make sure to keep a very strong eye on small animals when they are outside in any capacity as this is coyote country. I tend not to let cats out at all, unless given specific permission. Your pet's safety is my highest priority.

Hassana C.
“Hassana is a great pet sitter. I always have her take care of my Siamese cat (who’s very demanding for a cat) and he LOVES her. She’s currently studying to become a vet and I think this is her calling. She’s very passionate and delicate when it come to taking care of animals in general. I think she’d be a good fit as a pet sitter.”

TALLY G.
“TALLY has been a very responsible and attentive pet caregiver to our dogs. We have had up to 5 dogs at once and she was able to handle them all without any issues. She is a very caring and gentle person with our pets and spent the time necessary to give them the attention they needed while we were traveling. TALLY has been one of the best dog sitters we had over the last twenty years. I am sure if you are in need of someone to give your pet the extra attention or time when you can not, TALLY would be the right person for the job.”
