4. Evie R.

“Evie did a wonderful job with my three dogs and one cat. They were treated well and they ate good. She left the house clean and my furbabies were happy. She sent us photos of our furbabies while we were on vacation. We left for a week and Evie spent the week in our home taking care of our furbabies. I couldn't be more pleased. I would recommend her furbabie sitting! Thanks Evie”


5. Mark K.


“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”

15. celene e.
About: I’ve always had at least one dog, I love dogs and would enjoy spending time with your pet. Your pet would join the family while they are here! I’m retired, so have all the time in the world to spend with your family pet! Live near a walking trail, so walks are easy! I have a fully fenced yard and one dog of my own to play with yours. Definitely open to adjusting to whatever routine works best for your pet, feeding times..etc


16. Colin M.
“Colin is a true animal lover through and through. His kindness and genuine care for pets shines the moment he’s around them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, he treats every animal like family. He’s incredibly responsible, always makes sure their needs are met, and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. He doesn’t just "watch" pets—he bonds with them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, or just sitting and giving belly rubs, he truly enjoys spending quality time with animals. Any pet in his care is in amazing hands, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”


17. Sheila G.

“‘Auntie’ Sheila is just simply perfect! Had to leave town last minute and found her on the app. Multiple people accepted the job, but none had the friendly tone and attitude as she. I knew from the moment she answered the FaceTime interview that she was the one. My three pups absolutely adored her. She sent pics, videos and we did multiple FaceTimes while away. She is such a kind sweet soul and I will definitely be using her in the future!”
