“Tara is the very best person to care for our much loved Ruger. She stays at our house with him and maintains his strict eating schedule which is essential due to his diabetes. She tests his blood sugar and injects his insulin on time to keep him regulated. I highly recommend her services.”
“Tami is great. Our dogs are kind of weirdos, but she figured out their unique personalities quickly and sent lots of photos and updates. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Amber is amazing, she came over and our dogs took to her immediately. Our oldest puppy can be a little challenging due to her being skittish, but Amber’s personality and energy helped ease her nervousness. Very reliable, and was able to help us out on short notice. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Susana was everything you could have wanted in an in home pet sitter. We were on vacation for almost 2 weeks and never felt uneasy about our 2 dogs or our home. We received daily photos/videos which were so appreciated. We returned to happy, healthy dogs and a clean home.”
“Theresa was an excellent dog sitter. She provided very good communication and sent pictures of Kaya who looked so happy! Highly recommended and I will definitely book again in the future!”
“Vonnie took excellent care of my fur babies and my home while I went on a family vacation to see my granddaughter perform at a cheerleading competition at Universal studios. She left my home in better condition than it was when I left it! Pictures and text communications were sent daily and my pups seemed happy and safe.”
“Allison took wonderful care of our fur babies (and our home). We appreciated the frequent pictures/videos, since we missed our boys something terribly. Our cats are usually scaredy cats, and hide from strangers. Allison bonded with them quickly and they were comfortable with her around. One of our cats require daily medication, and Allison was such a pro, making sure he was well cared for. We truly appreciate her care and support of our family and home. Would highly recommend.”
“Our dogs absolutely love Brandi. She is so sweet, kind, and especially patient with our shy dog. I’m always comfortable when away as I know our fur babies will be well cared for.”
“Katelyn watched my English Bulldog and Chocolate Lab while I was on vacation for several days. She took great care of my fur babies. She fed them, walked them, let them out several times, and gave them loves and pets. She sent good notes and several pictures and videos throughout the stay.”
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”
About: I’ve been around family pets since I got my first cat at 6 months old! 29 years of experience adoring your pets, 20 years of experience with cats, 7 with dogs. I’ve lived with and helped raise a mid-sized terrier mix and a large Rottweiler mix. Im looking forward to meeting your furry family members and hopefully giving you some peace of mind that they well be safe and adored while you’re away. I’m currently in my last semester of undergrad and saving up for grad school. I spend a lot of my time volunteering but have no firm work schedule. I will visit every day or stay overnight with your pets to make sure they are safe, well-fed, exercised, watered, and pottied. I love to read with a cat beside me or go for a nice walk with your dog. Let me know what your pet needs! Everyone is different.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 when my parents started dog sitting through Rover! I also have three high energy pups of my own who keep me on my toes. I have plenty of experience caring for seniors and young animals alike, and am happy to provide special care for those with medical needs. I currently have a part-time internship, so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am available Monday-Thursday any time! I am happy to provide extra care for animals with special needs, and love spending time outside! I have walked dogs at differing levels of training, so a little bit of pulling on leash won’t bother me!
“Cindy was great! Great communications and took excellent care and attention to my dog while I was away. Valentine got daily walks and play time; the pictures sent to me was very reassuring.”
“Katherine was amazing! She watched my dog in my home for 7 days and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept me updated every day, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog loved her, and I could tell she was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
