“Lexi was absolutely amazing! I know I’m a crazy pet owner. My animals are my first children. I cannot say enough nice things about Lexi! She followed my 3 pages of instructions, sent me pictures, never minded when I asked how things were going. When I got home my animals were so well taken care of! Lexi left treats and toys for all the animals. The house looked better than how I left it. I would 100% recommend Lexi and look forward to using her again soon!”

I’d 100% use her services again and I highly recommend Susan to care for your fur babies. I went on vacation with an easy mind. Thanks again, Susan.”

“Steph has had a love for animals all her life. She’s had cats, dogs, hamsters, horses and even a bird! She was the captain of her collegiate equestrian team and has held many many jobs for various barns and farms. Most recently she has been a foster mom for dogs being rescued from the south. Her family is on its 17th foster pup and still going strong. Steph has been full time mom for 3 years to a beautiful 7 year old pit bull rescue named Kalida. She would be an excellent resource for pet sitting and/or dog walking.”


10. Angela C.

“Angela is a kind, caring and attentive dog sitter that will take really good care of your dogs while you’re away. She has taken care of our two older dogs a few times already and we feel completely at ease when she is caring for our boys! Highly recommended!!”


11. Kyle M.
“Kyle is great with my dog Moxie. He's watched her for long periods of time (usually 1 to 2 weeks) while I'm out of town and she absolutely loves him. He always keeps her on her schedule, which is great because she needs consistency. He always takes her for long walks (sometimes runs) and lets her sniff and explore to her hearts content to tire her out. I appreciate how attentive he is to her, particularly on walks, where she can pull a lot when there's squirrels and other animals around. I always trust him to keep Moxie happy and safe.”


12. Glerysbet M.
“Glerysbet took amazing care of my two 3 year guinea pigs for a week while me and my family went on a small vacation she provided multiple check-ins WITH pictures. She also went above and beyond by cleaning their play pen/cage. She was very punctual arrived on time and gave a great first impression.”


13. Ella K.
“Ella takes phenomenal care of her own rescue dog, Sawyer. She is consistent, patient, and attentive to his needs. I would highly recommend her to help care for most any pet. Sincerely, Andora H. Former Animal Control Officer”


14. Abigail S.

“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”


15. Paige C.

“Great help at the last minute!”




16. Pierce M.


“Pierce did a great job watching our dogs overnight in our home! He was comfortable with them even though they can be rambunctious and he left our house very neat and tidy.”


17. Rita M.

“Short review, Rita is great. Long review. Rita is extremely professional and takes her responsibilities and commitments extremely seriously. She is open about scheduling conflicts in a way that ensures that the quality of care of your pet won't be compromised. She has been extremely flexible and adapted to meet our needs both scheduling and care wise. During her time with our puppy, she remained extremely responsive and proactively shared photos and updates. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend Rita.”


18. Melina B.
“Anybody who knows Melina would describe her as deeply caring and reliable, both towards humans and animals. Her love for cats and dogs is immeasurable, and she takes great pride in providing them with the best care. With extensive experience in pet sitting, Melina has cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities. She has an exceptional ability to bond with each pet, no matter how unique their character. I’ve seen this firsthand with my two cats, one of which is a special needs cat. Despite not knowing them well at first, she formed an immediate connection and took amazing care of them. Melina thrives on the responsibility of caring for animals and finds true fulfillment in ensuring their well-being.”




19. Emma F.

“Emma was great! Took kind care of our dog, was good with giving medications and ensured she was fed and walked throughout our time away. Thanks Emma!”


20. Norman G.
“Norman has watched my pet King (Male pug) for a few years now (on & off) and he not only shows him love but care as well. He gives him the same attention and kindness I do as his owner. He consistently checks in with me with photos, pictures and phone conversations to ease my unnecessary worry along with adhering to any and all rules I set forth for King. I wouldn't trust my beloved pet with anyone more loving and trustworthy than Norman!”
