A wonderful cat-sitter! I loved all the photos and updates while I was away. I felt like I could trust Bethlyn to take care of my pets. I book her every time I go out of town.

Spencer has been very dependable while caring for my cat when I am away. She was able to respond and accomondate my last minute request. My house was left clean or even cleaner, my cat looked happy, and I felt very assured that someone reliable is looking after my cat and my house. I find the pictures and the daily updates that Spencer sent to be very helpful and allowed me to know that my cat is in good, caring hand. Spencer is very communicative, understanding and places my cat's well-being as top prority. I have and will be recommending her to any cat parents I know full heartedly!

Having known Samuel for 15 years, I can wholeheartedly attest to his exceptional abilities as a pet caregiver. With a genuine passion for animals, Samuel goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of every furry friend under his care. I've witnessed firsthand his unwavering dedication and patience, particularly when it comes to training multiple pups. Samuel's approach is not only professional but also filled with kindness and understanding. He creates a nurturing environment where pets thrive, thanks to his gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Samuel as a responsible and loving pet caregiver to anyone seeking the best for their beloved companions.

Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.

Dear Rover, I am writing this testimonial on behalf of Dale Johnson. Dale regularly takes care of my cats, and he is conscientious and responsible about keeping them well fed, their water filled and their litter box changed regularly. He is also a very loving man, and gives the cats plenty of affection and good socializing. He is also good at keeping their supplies well-stocked, and with communicating with me what their needs are and how they are doing in a friendly, respectful way. When we had our miniature poodle, Dale was also good at giving her regular food, water and medications, and at walking her regularly. I highly recommend Dale Johnson for Rover.

We booked Caitlin last minute before we left town for the holidays and she was great! She kept us posted on how our princess was doing, followed all our instructions for looking after her, and left the place clean. I forgot to update my address on Rover and she was quick to reach out and so kind about going to our new place once I realized the mistake. She was reliable and my Muesli seemed to take an instant liking to her - I couldn't have asked for more. I'd hire her again without a doubt!

About: I’ve got so much love and belly scratches to give and I’m sure your fur baby would love some!! I don’t have any pets of my own but love spending time with animals so pet sitting has been amazing for me! I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, flexible and will keep your pets routine as if you were still there. I prefer to house sit so your pet is in their natural environment and is the most comfortable. Dog parks and long walks and even Sunday brunch on a patio are activities your fur baby and I would be doing together. Please reach out and ask any questions you might have, promise I don’t bite ;) I’d love to get the opportunity to take care of your special pet while you’re out and about living your best life! I work full time but can coordinate days off to best fit your pets needs! Please let me know how I can accommodate to you :) Long walks, tossing around toys and adventuring surrounding neighborhoods! Every pet is different in their needs and interest and I love learning each one individually to have maximum fun!

Rebecca is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond and is always on time. She is so patient and kind with my two schnauzers (~17lbs and ~47lbs). I have a very hard time trusting anyone with my dogs but Rebecca made me feel so much at ease and I trust her completely. I am so thankful for Rebecca and have nothing but amazing things to say about her!

About: I have grown up around animals, and taken care of them since they were kittens and puppies. In total I have had 6 cats and 1 German Shepard I am currently a student, so I can take care of and play with animals in my free time after or before classes, as I already do with my cats. I get along quite quickly with most cats and dogs, and am willing to play with them indoors and outdoors to keep them content and happy.

Courtney provided wonderful care for my dog, Zoe. And Zoe was thrilled to play with her dog, Spruce. She was very good about sending updates on how Zoe was doing including photos. Every time I pick up Zoe she is happy and clearly has been well cared for. I highly recommend Courtney - I will most definitely use her again!
