Everything went well on our trip with Matthew doing a great job taking care of our 2 dogs for 2 nights. Both seemed to enjoy his stay and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter.

Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.

About: I'm an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs. I'm patient, reliable and, I treat your pet like family. I have owned and worked with dogs all my life (I'm 65) and feel this is a natural fit as I near and enter into retirement. I'm currently a full time pastor of a Lutheran congregation. The congregation is used to me bringing dogs with me to work. However, depending on the pet and the request of the owners, I can leave pets at my (or your) home and check in on them regularly. I am with them overnight. I do not have a fenced yard in my Condo so will walk them on a leash. I have my own fur baby, Annie, who absolutely loves other doggy companions. I work with each pet and client individually to ensure that we are meeting your needs. Crate trained animals are welcome but I've sat for many who roam free in the condo.

Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.

Absolutely Amazing!! Will definitely only be hiring her again to watch ANY AND ALL of my dogs when we need any sort of care. She was extremely thorough. I have a senior dog, a “special needs dog”- epileptic but young and playful, AND A a dog under two years old. They are well mannered but we have a care routine that she followed so thoroughly that made me relaxed as a worried pet mom. Thank you so much!!

About: I’ve taken care many dogs. I’ve had to admister meds, give insulin shots. I’ve dog walked and take care of multi dog households. I grew up with animals and packs of dogs. I work full time and can do drop in visits between cleaning houses. I can stay overnight and care in the morning. Weekends are pretty open. I can crate, do any special requests you may have. I can walk in a leash or anything else you want done. I will make sure they are safe.

After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕

About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.

Taylor took very good care of my Great Dane, cat and fish. She kept me informed of the days plans and checked in often with updates of my pets. Everyone was happy when I got home and the house was cleaner than I left it 😂 Thanks Taylor! Will be reaching out again soon for more visits!

This would be the second time having Charles watch my pups and I would ask him again and again. With Charles I never worry that my pups aren’t getting the best care. He watches over them like they are his own. Takes them outside to play, chills with them on the couch, sends me pictures and updates throughout the day, gave extra tender loving care to one of my pups when he was feeling sad and missing me and my house is clean when I return home. Thank you, Charles! We appreciate you! 🫶🏼

Can’t recommend Ellie enough! We have a dog that is a little rough around the edges (ok, a lot rough). Ellie took the time to slowly introduce herself to him, working to gain his trust. By the end of the week, I was getting photos of them snuggled up together! She sent lots of videos and pictures and was always reachable when needed. We will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future
