1. Madeleine D.

“Madeline took great care of my babies. She communicated every day, and asked questions when she was unsure of behaviors, which I appreciated. My pups were happy and calm when I came home telling me they were well taken care of and loved. I will definitely have Madeljne stay with my pups again.”


2. David P.

“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”


3. Jasmine L.

“I hired Jasmine to be mini-me while I was away. She took care of all my clients dogs just as I would, and that says a lot! She contacted me any time there was a question, and made every dog so comfortable in my home. I am so glad Jasmine and I connected and I truly hope that she agrees to book again. She was a true find.”


4. Jessica M.
“Jessica is a fantastic dog sitter! She’s dog sat for my dog before, and I knew my boy was in great hands. She is responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention and exercise. I plan on using her services again in the future and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”




5. Guliser "Julie" B.

“Guli made herself available for an extremely last-minute booking and did an outstanding job taking care of my dog while I was away. It was very difficult for me to leave my dog, as I had never spent a night away from her before. She also has separation anxiety, which was a significant concern of mine. However, I am so pleased and feel much more comfortable leaving her in the future, knowing we have found such a trusted sitter! Guli was punctual, responsible, and communicated regularly, sending updates and pictures that reassured me my dog was happy and well cared for. Not only did Guli ensure my dog's routine was followed but she also went the extra mile to provide extra playtime and affection. My home was left clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend Guli for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future.”


6. Kadriya B.

“Kadriya was great! She took awesome care of our two pups and was super communicative. We would def book her again!”


7. Vera R.

“Vera was amazing taking care of my two pups! They get nervous which makes me anxious. Vera sent pictures, and loved my puppies like her own. I highly recommend Vera!”


8. Kellie I.
“I've known Kellie for 20 years and she has always been caring, responsible and has loved my pets as if they were her own! She even sends them Christmas gifts! I would implicitly trust her with my children regardless if they had 4 legs or 2!”


9. Jonathan H.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.


10. Kaylee B.
“When I consider pet care there are several criteria that I begin with. These include work ethic, personality, responsibility, attention to detail, and how the candidate handles my dogs. Kaylee checks all the boxes and then some. Her love of animals is obvious, but she is also firm with them. The dogs understand that Kaylee is in charge. In the end my best test is how my dogs respond, and they love and trust Kaylee. So we do too.”




11. Robin L.

“Robin took such great care of my 2 dogs and one old cat when i was away! It's always a bit stressful leaving your furry "kids" but I was put at ease right away. I got so many adorable pictures of all of them and updates at least two times a day and they looked great! My kittty Jerry is 20 yrs old and is on several meds and she gave him those with no problem. My flight returning home got delayed by 5 hours and i wasn't at all sure that it wasn't going to be canceled. If that happened I wouldn't get back until the next day at some point. My biggest concern was who would feed the animals and let the dogs out. i texted Robin and she immediately said she'd take care of them even though she had plans to go out of town that morning! That provided so much relief to me and i was so happy when the flight went out and I didn't need her. She brought in my mail and packages and the house looked just as I left it when i returned. I will absolutely use her services again and HIGHLY recommend her if you need someone to help you out with your animals. You won't regret it!!”


12. Thea J.

“Thea was absolutely wonderful! Great communication, wonderful with the pups, kind, tidy and responsible, I can't say enough good things! I can't recommend her enough and will be calling on her first as I need an in-home sitter going forward.”


13. Jaheil A.
“Very relaxed experience! Jaheil overnight boarded my dog Midnight for two nights in a row! No issues at all even sent me videos and pictures to ease my mind while I was away. I’ve known Jaheil for a while and he’s always been outdoorsy and athletic type so I was grateful to see him running around with Midnight at the park unlike other experiences with lazy sitters. I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking a thorough connection.”


14. Keleigh L.

“Keleigh is the best! She is so kind and so good to my puppy. She takes penny for walks and also provides me multiple updates. She also made my living room look more together!”


15. Erin D.
“Erin has been my dog sitter for a couple of years. Anyone who meets her, dogs included, will immediately notice her calm and caring demeanor. There were two occassions which Erin dog sat that might have been difficult for someone less competent. The first time, our house was in disarray from renovations. All of the furniture had been moved from the family room to the living room so the carpet could be replaced. Meanwhile, the floors in the room above the living room were also being replaced, and the workers stepped through, creating a hole in the ceiling. Erin stayed in our home: covered furniture, construction dust, and a hole in my ceiling, keeping company with my dog in a chaotic environment. Another time, right before Erin was to come over and dog sit, my dog tore her ear chasing a squirrel into a sticker bush. The vet recommended pumice powder to manage the bleeding. Erin didn't flinch at the injured ear or the additional care our dog needed that day. She sends text updates and photos while she's dogsitting. You and your dog will adore her!”

About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
